Stackers Puts Crafting On The Map, Not In A Menu
Indie developer Maxbong is building Stackers, a single-player crafting simulation for PC via Steam and STOVE, scheduled for 2027. Materials such as wood and stone are stacked directly on the map to produce items and facilities, with recipes found by trial and error. The tile-based world spans nine biomes, expands through tile scrolls, and is randomly generated, with a boss gating each new area.
