New World: How about the desert?

[Willy Pete]

So I'd love to see the quiet apocalypse from different locations outside of Great Bear Island. The Siberian Wilderness would be a definite go-to for a game similar to TLD, but what about the opposite side of the spectrum? What about taking a look at a hot desert wasteland like in the Middle East, Africa, or Australia?

Instead of worrying about cold, you now worry about heat. Instead of nighttime Auroras, you instead have occasional solar events during the day that cause drastic increases in temperature. Instead of melting and boiling snow, you have to seek out and find oases or craft condensers that can be raided by animals. Depending on the location you could have anything from dingoes to hyenas taking the place of wolves, or even adding lion packs or elephants to the mix.

The quiet apocalypse doesn't need to only take place in blistering cold places, there's a whole world of potential out there!

What an amazing compliment to Hinterland. The world they've created is so wonderful that we just can't get enough of it. A game like this could potentially be worked on forever and the scale continuously increased and we'd love every bit of it. 

I do also want to see what they have in store for us in their next game though.

A games based on the Klondike Gold Rush could be interesting. Much of the TLD material could be incorporated, saving a great deal of development work. The main problem is that it could be too similar to TLD.

Being too similar to TLD? I hardly call that a problem
