Alice Games has unveiled 'Made by Hand', a first-person simulation game where players can experience the entire woodworking process, from selecting wood to processing and selling finished products.
'Made by Hand' is a game where players craft various wooden items in their own workshop using hand tools and machinery. Players select the wood and blueprints for the item to be made, mark measurements on the timber with a pencil, and make their first cut. They can directly craft various items ranging from kitchenware like cutting boards to furniture such as tables.
The crafting process goes beyond simply cutting wood. It progresses step by step from lathing parts and trimming edges to surface sanding, assembly, and finishing. By directly handling materials and tools at each stage, players experience ordinary wooden boards gradually taking shape into finished products.
Set in a calm and cozy atmosphere, the game focuses on the joy of the crafting process itself. Players execute individual tasks according to blueprints and refine details at every step to complete their unique wooden creations.
Completed items can be photographed and listed on the in-game online store. Posted works receive feedback such as ratings, likes, and comments, and once a sale is made, a delivery drone visits the workshop to deliver the product to the customer. After completing an order, players can clear their workbench and move on to their next craft.
Alice Games is a studio that carries out the entire game development process, from planning and design to animation, programming, marketing, and release. The developer creates mobile and PC games, with major titles including 'Darkest AFK', 'Vacation Cafe Simulator', and 'Shark Dentist'.
