About this game

The HinterLands is a multiplayer Indie sandbox game with mining, crafting and exploration elements.

You arrive in The HinterLands with just a few tools and torches. To survive you must build a house, and hunt for materials to craft new items.
Mine the terrain for resources, build great structures, harvest plants, trees and mobs, the choice is yours!
Play cooperative or competitive multiplayer with friends or random players!

The HinterLands is a work in progress, and will continue to grow, expand and evolve over time. Your feedback and suggestion will help shape the game, and you can participate in the development of the game.

★Multiplayer★
The HinterLands is an indie sandbox game, built with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer.

• Help shape the development of the game, add ideas, and watch the game evolve.

The HinterLands was the FIRST (early 2013) multiplayer 2d mining game on Google Play, and was released early in alpha to encourage people to contribute to development, since there was nothing similar on the market. Since then it has grown a ton, and keeps growing thanks to player feedback!

• Use the fast attack button to combo attacks, or the strong attack for higher damage. Use the shield to become invincible
• Build amazing structures, upgrade your tools, and share on our facebook page! http://goo.gl/vsclYF

The nostalgia coming back to this 3 years later feels great. A few problems I had were... Lower the prize for watching an ad, someone could watch 10 ads and have a sword better than diamond, and wings before they even upgrade a tool, and in the settings there is a setting called lighting off, this defeats the purpose of torches, but it's helpful to see ores and diamonds. Other than that this game is still amazing 3 years later, even without multiplayer.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm still trying to do a new version, but progress is slow. I put back up the servers, but the hard drive is failing/ need to reinstall the OS. Thanks!

So i believe it's a good game but we need more powerful monsters and the end-game swords like the ones from shop or the diamond sword need balance maybe add more armor for them. Overall it's great. Edit: Since you responded to my review I'm glad that you still plan on remaking the game in unity. Sadly I'm a C++ programmer and certainly not the best out there and I don't use unity. I plan to learn it so maybe i could help out. Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I was in the process of updating the ackmi website to look more modern, but kept having stuff come up, so it's in limbo right now :/ I try to post on the FB page, but been working on a paint app (to make games with). Hoping to have the paint app make enough to survive, and redo the game in unity.

what a wonderful game you have, but it's sad that the last update was in 2018, I've read the reviews and your replies to them, and I know you are waiting/working on some stuff to update the game. what is your estimated time until the game is going to be reworked with more single player things (bosses; better caves; biomes; more interesting concepts). I feel like those 4 things would improve the game greatly, but don't make it too complex, cause complexity does =/= fun or good gameplay good luck!

Hey, thanks for the comment! I was working on a way for people to mod/ add their own textures, but that took on a life of it's own (a painting app). But I'll need to re-work the game where it pushes in app purchases (so Google can see it's making them money), so the game doesn't get hidden again. Thanks again! I want to work on it again :/
