The challenges of testing and meeting financial expectations create competing pressures for game developers, making the release timing a difficult decision.

Terra Nil is a reverse city builder game that allows players to rewild desiccated and barren land across four major biomes in a series of four scenarios. The game emphasizes environmental stewardship, especially within a genre that tends to focus on the exact opposite. However, the game's complexity can be convoluted, making it difficult to progress through scenarios. Despite this, the game's sense of wonder and emphasis on healing landscapes is enough to bring players back into its world. Terra Nil will be released on March 28 on Android, iOS, and Windows PC.
