Evergrow – Experimenting with an Infinite Open World Game

Hey there,

A while ago I experimented with a game concept that could expand infinitely - basically an open-world builder where the map keeps growing as you explore it.

This little prototype is what came out of that idea:

The core concept is simple:

You start with a small piece of land and discover new tiles by expanding outward.Each tile becomes a resource field, and the challenge is to optimize your layout and economy while the world keeps growing.

Very rough gameplay loop:

• Expand the map by discovering adjacent tiles

• Combine identical fields to create stronger production zones

• Balance your resource economy (some fields require upkeep)

• Upgrade or reroll tiles to optimize your layout

The idea was to build a strategy system that could scale endlessly as the world grows.

It’s still just a small experimental prototype, but I always liked the core idea.

Curious what you think — especially about the infinite map concept.
