02 / WORLD IN FOCUS

URBE OASIS

A little water.
A whole world.

In Urbe Oasis, every patch of shade matters. Build an adobe city around a wandering spring, bring water through canals and help life take root in the desert.

  • Water & shade
  • Caravan trade
  • Sandstorms

03 / THE WAY WE BUILD

Made to play.
Open to possibility.

We build worlds where decisions leave a mark: a canal brings a district to life, a supply route keeps a squad standing, a block becomes a shelter. At Game Studio 42, simulation is the starting point for play. Every game opens in your browser, and every system is there to be understood and changed.

Propose a projectHow it works

Public proposals on GitHub · English or Portuguese

Projects still in development are welcome when there is code to review. Acceptance requires review and a confirmed maintainer; adoption proposals can wait for volunteers. Authorship, credits and history are preserved.

Open games take time, care and continuity. Help make this work sustainable for the people who create and maintain Game Studio 42 projects.
