Brushland

Fan-Made Wiki

Brushland is a cozy fairytale kingdom-builder from Transhuman Design: you paint the land directly — mountains, rivers, waterfalls, roads — and the kingdom builds itself. Villagers move in automatically, and houses change appearance depending on their surroundings, so every painted hillside grows into a living storybook village. Revealed with an official trailer at The MIX Fall Game Showcase on October 16, 2026, and now wishlishtable on Steam, this wiki tracks Brushland from reveal to release: how the painting works, what the villagers and houses do, what the trailer shows, and when you can play it.

What Is Brushland?

Brushland is a kingdom-builder with the soul of a picture book, developed by Transhuman Design — the veteran indie studio whose developer Michał introduced the game on its new Steam page. The premise in one breath: you paint the land, and the kingdom builds itself. Mountains rise where you stroke a ridge, rivers run where you draw a valley, waterfalls pour off your painted cliffs — and villagers, unprompted, move in, settle, and raise houses that change appearance depending on what surrounds them. There are no grids and no placement menus; the terrain brush is the entire interface, and the fairytale kingdom is its consequence.

The game went viral on October 16, 2026, when the official gameplay trailer debuted at The MIX Fall Online Game Showcase and social channels like Indie Game Joe amplified it to a huge audience overnight — a brand-new word entering the gaming vocabulary in a single day. Brushland is coming to Steam (wishlist open, release date unannounced), and this wiki follows it from reveal to release: the mechanics, the world, the comparisons and every release signal in between.
