We think of it more as a spin-off, but even that doesn’t convey the full idea. I wouldn’t say Homescapes is really a sequel.

Why did you decide upon a sequel to Gardenscapes? Are there going to be a series of 'scapes' games now? To find out more about the development of Homescapes and Playrix's plans for the IP in future, we spoke to Creative Director Igor Elovikov. It's already proving to be one of 2017's biggest mobile hits, as it seems players can't get enough of the 'scapes charm and the life of its lead character Austin. The title is much the same, based on match-three gameplay combined with house decorating and a story to keep players engaged. Such was Gardenscapes' success on mobile, it's launched a follow-up in the shape of Homescapes.

It's developed hit titles such as city building game Township and hit match-3 release Gardenscapes - originally a hidden object game for PC but transformed for mobile devices. Playrix has quietly become one of the most successful developers in Europe.
