Other games similar to CANTR?

It's less the roleplaying aspect and more the crafting aspect but the game Movoda.net is pretty good. It's fun to have up in the background while I'm at work just mining or whatever you decide to do in the game. Basically it's like Cantr in that you start with almost nothing and you are thrust into the world with no skills. You can do a wide variety of things like mining, smithing, cooking, spellcrafting etc.. Little to no RPing though. It's as if Ultima Online and Cantr had a baby.

That actually sounds pretty cool. I spend a one whole summer playing UO in it golden age.

I bought this game on steam Yesterday for only 19€
Its an indie game named "Banished"

You are left onto wilderness with few 'banished' people and some supplies. They are total dummies.
The goal is to survive. Get homes build up, cut firewood and cook food before winter comes. Or you are going to starve and freeze to death.. Then wild animals will eat your villagers corpses because there is no graveyard, noone to bury them.

This is kind of similar to Cantr, i believe.

Cantr players might enjoy My Time At Portia. It's a mashup of Minecraft and The Sims, though single player only.

Banished game started a bit new genre of games whose mix building of settlement with resource and workforce management. Now there a lot of similar games including legendary already FrostPunk from Polish developers studio. With FrostPunk 2 which I still not had time to try. I would recommend if someone likes this genre, modern approach for it named Kingdoms Reborn with multiplayer mode even. Other good one is EndZone and EndZone 2 on my wishlist . Those two are in postapocaliptic destroyed world theme .

Another reminder that https://otherworld.fi is still online. I'm stubbornly refusing to pull the plug, even though it hasn't taken off the ground yet. Recently I have been working on the UI. I'm considering to eventually convert it into React, but currently it's not worth the effort because it's still missing the core loop. And I realize this isn't much of an advertisement because I'm focusing on what isn't working, but it's important that people have realistic expectations. I would be very happy to free-form rp with people but so far, the majority of people seem to forget that they registered and not come back after day 1. I don't think it's about the new player experience anymore, because I think the early game works, but it's very easy to reach the end of the tech tree. Being a low tech environment, Otherworld lacks long term goals. Although relatively recently, I added a progression of being able to level up a lean-to into a castle through 10 stages, as far as I can tell, no one has tried it in-game. Another thing that hasn't been done yet is building duckboards at the swamps. There's one thing that one could be the first at doing. Then it's possible to build snow castles at the cold zones during winter. It's currently summer in-game but the cycle of seasons goes around multiple times in a real life year.
