Hokko Life Comes to Steam Early Access In June

There are several games that Indie studios don’t often attempt to emulate. Animal Crossing is one of those franchises that developers haven’t tried to improve or build upon yet. However, Hokko Life by Wonderscope Games and Team 17 seems to be changing that. While it isn’t exactly like Animal Crossing, there are some definite similarities.

Coming to Steam Early Access on June 2^nd, Hokko Life brings you to the sleepy town of Hokko. Interestingly enough, you can customize practically everything about your experience in the town. You can personalize everything from the fabric of your clothing to the wallpaper in your house. Here is what the press release has to say.

“With Hokko Life’s editing system, players can tweak shapes, materials, and colors to customize everything from the clothing they wear to the furniture in the houses, all of which can be shared with friends. If players want to take a break from the workshop and really integrate themselves into the Hokko lifestyle, they can spend time building their collection of critters by fishing in the local ponds and rivers or hunting bugs around the easy-going town.”

Also, here are some key features presented via the press release.

“Get Creative: The workshop awaits as players take control over every aspect of Hokko, with the 3D design tool, every aspect of a player’s creation can be tailored to perfection
Dare to Design: No detail is too small, everything from the color, fabric, and angle of the pillow on a chair can be edited
Sharing is Caring: Players will be able to share their meticulously crafted designs with friends and other players around the world
Back of the Net: A lazy afternoon in Hokko can be spent with a net or pole in hand, catching and collecting the critters crawling around town
Meet the Neighbours: Hokko’s townsfolk offer a warm welcome, and with varying personalities, they all make for fantastic friends.”

If you are as interested in Hokko Life as I am, you can wishlist the game on Steam. I am very curious to see how the game grows during its Early Access period, and I can’t wait to see what the developers do with it.
