The game is set in a post-apocalyptic utopia where you rebuild society after a global collapse. A massive online multiplayer where everyone plays on an exact replica of planet earth. Grow your town, trade with other players, face challenges and discover the rich history of the planet.
Project Rebearth let’s you play on a 1 to 1 replica of planet earth. that is only possible when data gets streamed over the internet, even in a single player mode. This also means that servers need to be maintained, which costs money. I cannot maintain these services until the end of time but since you are buying the game, you have the right to an end-of-life plan so you know what you’re getting into. I have the ambition to keep the official game server live for 3 years. this is roughly up until the year 2029. Depending on the active player base at that time, this may be extended. I plan to allow for custom game servers about a year after the game release. When the official server terminates, you will still be able to connect to full-featured community servers with the game you bought and paid for.
Yeah, it looks like a multiplayer Dungeon Draft, which is awesome. I hope people don’t just meticulously recreate major cities, but rather use the opportunity to reimagine what our settlements could look like.
I applaud the dev for having this plan, but talk is cheap, and my interest in this game can’t start until the private server is available. I get that you want people to congregate in the official server, but they’ll do that naturally anyway.

In case you care about the things I care about:
I wonder if it would be possible to make a single-player release for EOL.
The single player release at EOL sounds like spinning up your own local server and connecting to it.
This is basically how Minecraft works since 1.3.
I’ll buy it just to support this ideologically. The graphics look like one of those old TTRPG map maker programs, which I love.
