Do we keep this vegetation density and ship the game with a fire extinguisher, or should we start thinning it?

From a broken airship to a thriving network of cliffside outposts. We aren't just surviving the Mist, we’re conquering it.

Build higher, explore further, and claim the knowledge needed to thrive where others fell.

Testing out the day/night cycle for our zipline-driven colony sim. There’s something special about seeing the settlement light up as the mist rolls in.

Which shift would you rather work: the Golden Hour or the Ghostly Midnight?

@jettelly Thank you for featuring our process! Stay tuned for more and don't forget to wishlist our game ;)

Thank you! It’s a combo of PrimeTween (Unity asset) + some code to procedurally find all the parts that need to be dropped, plus lots of timing tweaks so it feels right. Also, some procedural delays and height-based grouping so things fall more “logically,” and scaffolding is built/removed on cue.

Construction doesn't have to be boring 🛠️

We just added some JUICE to our scaffolding and building animations. It’s all in the details!

How’s it looking? Too much bounce, or just right?

Building a survival colony sim with vertical construction and deadly mist mechanics is so easy.
