Key features

• Open-world forest village. Fell, gnaw and haul logs across a forest of biomes: a river, a camp lake, a quarry and a mountain ridge.
• Under the water, too. An underwater channel runs beneath the camp. Diving and the breath bar are in; air pockets are being placed now.
• One village, shared economy. Every log feeds the same village: a research tree, village tiers and a production tree with a kitchen, a mill and automation.
• 77 mini-games. Cut the Line, Tide Run, Log Rolling, Soap Lake, Hold Breath, Lightning Count and many more. Short rounds, loud outcomes.
• 8 boss arenas, all solo-viable. Each boss is built for a full crew and can still be finished alone. Friends make it better, but they are never required.
• Mastery trees. Personal mastery in chopping, carrying, gnawing and the tail slap. Mastery speeds you up; it is never a gate.
• Joker cards and ragdolls. Joker cards shake up a session, and ragdoll physics make sure nobody leaves a fall with their dignity.
• 14 languages at launch. English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional). All of them ship with the first release.

Long

In Lumberjack Party, up to four players are a crew of beaver lumberjacks looking after one shared forest village. They fell, gnaw and haul logs across an open forest of river, camp lake, quarry and mountain ridge, and dive through an underwater channel on a single breath bar. Every log feeds the same village economy: a research tree, village tiers and a production tree with a kitchen, a mill and automation. Felling a tree can pull the crew into one of 77 short mini-games such as Cut the Line, Tide Run, Log Rolling and Soap Lake, and eight boss arenas wait deeper in the forest, each designed for a full crew and beatable alone. Personal mastery trees for chopping, carrying, gnawing and the tail slap, joker cards and ragdoll physics round it off. Lumberjack Party is made by Rascotic Studios, a two-person studio, in Unity 6 with online co-op over Steam. It is in development for PC and planned for Steam Early Access, date to be announced, with 14 languages at launch.
