My friend and I are making a chill tower building game!

You build a quirky tower, manage resources, complete quests and uncover mysteries hidden in the clouds โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ

It's called Cloudscrapers, and the Steam page just went live:

The animals you place are supposed to represent groups of animals, and yeah, I'm hoping to have them wander around in their territory somehow.

I also want to add things like birds flying around, and clouds passing over the sky, to make it all a bit less static. โ˜บ๏ธ

It plays a bit differently than Dorfromantik, but it's definitely in the same genre. I've actively been trying not to just copy whatever they did, atleast ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you! The area highlights are all flat procedural meshes with a shader that draws them on top of everything. It uses more or less the same code as the actual landscape meshes for generation, if I remember correctly. ๐Ÿ˜…

The demo is done! I'm a dingus and didn't take into account that it has to be reviewed before release, but it should be available on Steam next week (I hope).

Hereโ€™s some more recent Biotopia gameplay footage.

The demo is more than 1 year overdue, but maybe March 2025 is the lucky month?

Oh, hello! Iโ€™m trying to make a landscape building game of some sort, called Biotopia.

Hereโ€™s the slightly aged trailer from when the steam page was launched back in August 2023:
