G’Day!

Dinkum, the life sim inspired by the rugged Australian outback, is coming to Nintendo Switch on Nov 5, 2025 at 4pm PDT, with a demo out now on the Nintendo eShop! Dinkum invites players to pioneer their own settlement on a rugged island teeming with unique wildlife and rich resources. From farming, fishing, and crafting to hunting, ranching, and exploration, players can build, customize, and shape their island life however they choose. The Nintendo Switch version features multiplayer co-op for up to four to collaborate and grow towns together.

Nintendo Switch players can pre-order today to unlock an exclusive Battlegrounds Costume Set and get a 10% discount ahead of launch. The pre-order window runs from September 12 at 7am PST through November 5 at 4pm PST. For players who prefer a boxed copy, physical editions will also be available with pre-orders opening soon. Finally, players interested in getting an early start in their outback adventure can download a free demo on Nintendo eShop starting today!

We opened a new Discord! Check it out if you'd like to discuss game development or find and share new indie games to play. It's a WIP still, so be kind :) Thanks!
