I got introduced to solarpunk years ago when i stumbled on some art on pinterest, though i was not aware until i went to a subreddit, known as “r/sliceoflifeart” on reddit, in few post which were thematically similar to the post i saw, eversince then i started following solarpunk movement closely, following every subreddit, insta pages and news when it comes to that.
Now in 2025, there are many up-and-coming solarpunk games and many more that are already released. Seeing them makes me happy, but part of me is still indifferent about safar.
Safar was born in one late evening of 2023, when i was talking with my friend. The idea was we create a game, we went through many options. some good, some bad. but we in the end went to something quite and serene. a solarpunk game set in a post apocalyptical word.
Though i can’t share much more details, i’ll say when we release this game. it for sure is gonna make some ruckus. As of now, the project is on hold and maybe it will be for sometime due to time limitation and finding the right artist. we are still looking for more options.
Thus is the story of safar so far, but like any safar (Journey in urdu) takes time, ours will too.
