Light the fire. Raise a home.
A voxel game made as a tribute and homage to Stonehearth. Play one pioneer, raise a home in a realm of your own and build it with friends, right in your browser.
v0.0.1 · in development · The Gearfinder Studios
Every home begins with a fire. In Hearthmakers each player is one pioneer, moved by point and click, who lights a fire in a realm of their own and raises a home around it: gathering, digging, crafting and building, block by block.
The world is a great open book. Realms live on a server, on its pages, beside public places that everyone shares. Invite friends in, meet others out in the world, form a party and trade what you have made. Turning to another world turns the page.
Green terraces, oaks, pines and brown rock. A gentle place for a first home.
Pale sand and stone, cacti and flat-topped trees, with plenty of room under the sun.
Deep snow, blue cliffs and golden trees. Keep close to the fire.
Hearthmakers started out on Stonehearth’s art, as placeholders. That migration is finished: the models, icons, sounds, cursors and windows you see are now the game’s own, made with tools built for it, while Stonehearth stays where it belongs, as the inspiration.
Trees, rocks, crops, benches, tools, weapons, armor and the pioneers themselves: voxel models built by recipes, in one palette and one style, on the game’s own skeletons.
Axes, picks, hoes, buttons and the chat’s ping, synthesized from maths with no recording behind them.
Every board, sign and sheet of parchment is painted by code. Even this page: the panels around this text come from the game’s own painter.
Nothing to install. Open the game, make an account and play.
Hearthmakers also runs as a Discord Activity, with sign-in through Discord for members of our server.
Every feature also works by touch, on phones and tablets in landscape.
Plans, not promises. Hearthmakers is in development, and this is where it is heading:
Building materials beyond stone, dirt, wood and brick.
Tools and items in tiers of other materials.
Dungeon-like content for the public places.

Stonehearth taught us that a home begins with a fire and a few friends around it. Thank you for that world, still alight in every block of this game.
