I’ve played my fair share of survival games crafting, base building, scavenging, raiding, repeat.
But after countless hours in familiar worlds, I started craving something different: a game where the world feels alive, your choices truly matter, and every adventure is unique.
That’s how YUMA was born a Viking survival and settlement-building game where you shape your own saga.
In this first devlog, I’ll share the roadmap, current progress, and vision for YUMA, from solo adventures to multiplayer clans.

Key Features:
- Procedural world generation for endless exploration
- Dynamic flora, fauna, and terrain assets
- Day/night cycle, seasons, and weather systems

This is the world you’ll get lost in, where every corner could hide adventure or danger.

Every choice counts. Fail, adapt, and carve your own story in the world of YUMA.

A survival game where your actions shape the Viking world, and every encounter has weight.
