sheltered2About a month ago, we covered the launch of Unicube’s Kickstarter campaign for Sheltered. On July 4th, Unicube didn’t just mark the end of their campaign having successfully hit their funding target, but raised double the amount they were asking for – coming in at £30,148 and meeting all of their stretch goals. With such an impressive funding amount received, we can look forward to seeing sheltered expanded to OUYA, iPad, and the PS4.

But wait, there’s more – now players are able to name each member of their family rather than choosing from a name database and completely customize their shelter and its location. Locations are considered similar to difficulty levels, ranging from desert to urban areas. Specifics as to which are the more difficult have not been released yet but we’re looking forward to more information in the upcoming months.

With the pressure of maintaining a shelter off your shoulders, you’re introduced to Sheltered from a completely different angle.

Team 17 is planning to publish Unicube’s game and Sheltered has already been Greenlit for Steam. The dates for the Beta and final version have not been specified yet but, fans and backers can visit Unicube’s forum for Sheltered, available on their website, to talk to other fans, pitch ideas for the game, and look out for any updates.
