About straywild
straywild is a free and open-source multiplayer game about fishing, collecting, exploring, creating, and spending time with other players. Host a room, join a public server, or run a dedicated server for your community. Complete daily and lifetime jobs, sell your catches, customize your character, and wander through changing times of day and weather.
The Art Kit lets players paint together directly in the game world. Session artwork is shared with everyone in the room, giving hosts and players a simple way to leave drawings, signs, and other collaborative additions around the map.
The game is currently in Early Access and active development. Expect bugs, unfinished systems, balance changes, limited content, and occasional changes that may break compatibility with older versions. Multiplayer requires everyone to use the same game version. Player feedback and real-world testing will continue to guide development.
Future updates are planned to expand the fish catalog, character clothing, fishing accessories, customization options, activities, multiplayer tools, and the world itself. Existing systems will also continue to receive improvements as development progresses.
straywild is completely free and open source. There are no paid upgrades or required purchases.
