The team behind last year’s delightful surprise, Judero, is working on a new title called Mashina.

“A little robot digs to repair her world,” describes the Kickstarter project. It combines digging, building, and discovery in a relaxing stop-motion environment, moving away from the pastoral themes of Judero to feature a colorful industrial landscape populated by quirky robots.

The gameplay will juxtapose full 3D exploration of a semi-customizable robot village with 2D, side-scrolling adventures underground. Mashina promises to deliver surprises and a compelling narrative while focusing on resource gathering to enhance both the surface village and a subterranean base.

The developers aim to maintain the whimsical and surreal atmosphere that fans appreciated in their previous work, with no scheduled release date but full Kickstarter funding achieved, offering unique handmade rewards for backers.
