Community Building Game Common’hood Makes Appearance at Game Devs of Color Expo

Get a closer look at this upcoming title that encourages creativity and togetherness

This year’s Game Devs of Color Expo featured some absolutely amazing titles. Developer Plethora Project was proud to be included in the lineup with their upcoming community building and economy management game Common’hood.

In Common’hood players are tasked with building a community through hard work and connections. Many of the settlers you’ll meet are down on their luck and have taken shelter in your family's abandoned factory. It’s up to you to encourage positive growth and change until you’ve got a thriving community. In order to do this you’ll need to farm, craft, build and more.

What makes Common’hood unique is that it doesn’t just focus on one element of community building. You won’t just be farming and scavenging for resources. You’ll also have a hand in designing buildings and bringing your settlers together so that they have a more positive outlook on life. Not only that, but you can design masterpieces and share them online with the real life community! Don’t be shy, let your ideas shine.

A list of features include:

  • Take care of your settlers, form connections and help them feel like an important part of the community
  • Grow self-sustaining food sources out of variety of crops which in turn gives access to a variety of recipes to cook
  • Highly detailed building tools allow players to have free reign of their factory. Craft shelters, workshops and even high tech manufacturing facilities
  • As you scavenge and explore, discover more about the factory and how it came to be abandoned
  • Share your unique designs with the online community

Plethora Project is looking forward to sharing more news about their upcoming title in the coming months. For now, those that want to dive in and give the game a try for themselves, can access the game demo via their Steam page.
