Life isn’t easy and the Range offers no shortage of dangers, but the land is good and the air is clean. No slime has ever produced a plort outside of the the Range’s atmosphere.Įnter the slime ranchers- people that sign on to leave earth behind and travel a thousand light years away to make a life on the Range, ranching slimes and collecting plorts to sell to the corporations for lots of cash. They need the open air, its sun shining down on them. There’s just one problem: slimes only thrive on the Far, Far Range. Humans just can’t seem to get enough slime. They are prized by earth corporations for producing an enormous variety of goods: everything from indestructible alloys to delicious food products. Plorts are concentrated chunks of slime, brimming with the strange energies and unique properties of the slime that produced it. And when happy and well-fed they produce plorts. They’re cheerful, curious, and have big appetites. The actual name for this planet isn’t important it’s simply come to be known as ‘the Far, Far Range’ and it is inhabited by scores of strange little creatures: slimes. Some backstory: it’s the far future and mega corporations on earth have found a major new source of income in the form of an incredible resource on a very distant planet (a thousand light years away to be exact). With a can-do attitude, plenty of grit, and her trusty vacpack, Beatrix attempts to stake a claim, amass a fortune, and avoid the continual peril that looms from the rolling, jiggling avalanche of slimes around every corner. Slime Rancher is the tale of Beatrix LeBeau, a plucky, young rancher who sets out for a life on the Far, Far Range where she tries her hand at making a living wrangling slimes. Our first project, Slime Rancher, is a frantic, chaotic and very silly video game for PC, Mac and Linux.

On November 14th of 2014, a premise of the game has been made.

The prototype image was made on April of 2014. Everything is simple, for example slimes are just colored balls and the vacpack is a pistol. This prototype was a quick mashup of example assets, when Nick tried to check how the gameplay would work. When devs were about to release 0.2.0, they posted this image on their blog.
