Details

Overview

Temukung: Cultivation in Drylands is a historical strategy and farming simulation game developed by Sengkala Dev. Set in West Timor between the mid-19th century and 1941, players step into the role of a village chief. The game challenges you to manage your village's resources, focusing on cultivation in a region with a difficult climate and short rainy seasons. Beyond farming, you'll be responsible for constructing buildings and defending your settlement from enemy attacks.

A key aspect of the gameplay involves navigating complex relationships with colonial powers, specifically the Dutch and Portuguese. The game features five distinct ethnic groups, each with unique characteristics, adding strategic depth to your village management.

These groups include the Atoni (also known as Dawan), who inhabit areas near Kupang, mountainous regions, and parts of Belu and Malaka, and the Tetun, another native Timorese group.
