Monomi Park are doubling down on the colourful aspects even more in the sequel though – your first clue is that your new home is named Rainbow Island. From there, they made the first game as varied and colourful as possible – you still have your dusty home ranch, but the world around it contains different biomes. But early in the first game’s development, what we now know as The Slime Sea was actually going to be The Sand Sea until one of the devs added water and realised how inviting it was. The original game is very much inspired by old west cattle ranches, as is evident from the dusty starting area, The Dry Reef. Slime Rancher 2 will play pretty similarly to its predecessor, the game’s setting will look considerably different.
