This solo dev is building 'the most violent cozy farming game ever made' and lumberjacking has never looked cooler

Spellogger, a first-person lumbermancy RPG, is being developed by a solo developer named Basti. This game aims to be the most violent cozy farming game ever made. Unlike traditional farming games, players in Spellogger take on the role of a lumberjacking wizard in a magical forest with infinite trees. The objective is to use increasingly absurd tree-felling spellcraft to harvest lumber as efficiently as possible.

Players do not encounter enemies or livestock in Spellogger; instead, they focus on harnessing their arcane abilities to fell trees. The game features a variety of magical tree-felling techniques, such as throwing an enchanted axe like a boomerang, detonating trees with bursts of chain lightning, and summoning meteors from orbit. Basti frequently shares updates on the development process on social media, showcasing the game's quirky and imaginative features.

The developer emphasizes that Spellogger takes place in a fantasy setting where environmental sustainability is not a concern, highlighting the game's lighthearted and humorous approach. While there is no confirmed release date, Spellogger is slated for launch on Steam in 2027. Currently, a demo is available, allowing players to progress through the first 10 levels of lumbermancy before the full game's meteor-related features arrive.
