Deepworld was a 2D online sandbox about mining and crafting from Bytebin, a two-person studio. Its persistent world lived in the cloud: players dug mines, explored mountains, caves and ruins, and visited cities built by others.
Hundreds of craftable items could be placed anywhere, so players built whole neighbourhoods. Salvaged pieces of old technology powered machines that restored the environment. You fought creatures of the deep, automatons and other players, and spent skill points on dexterity, mining and more. Besides PC, there was an Android version.
In June 2019 the developers announced the shutdown: the game was no longer profitable and was hard to support alongside their full-time jobs. The servers and forums went offline on 30 August 2019.
