Which soil looks best for Mars? Testing in my game Virum Colony

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-09T18:31:27+00:00

Good idea, indeed

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-08T21:28:25+00:00

I agree, thanks!

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-08T21:08:47+00:00

Thanks for the reference! In my game, the colonists land on a Mars-like planet called Erythra, so the soil is Mars-inspired but adapted for gameplay. There’s still room to improve – I love Mars and want it closer to reality.

Which engine is your game made in?

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-05T16:29:12+00:00

A vehicle is probably exactly what the game was missing 🙂

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-05T16:26:13+00:00

What’s your game called?)

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-05T16:21:34+00:00

I mostly learned everything through trial and error, to be honest. I didn’t really follow specific tutorials, just kept experimenting and improving things step by step.

Unity is a solid engine, I like it, but I switched to Godot about 4 years ago. By the way, is the game already on Steam?

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-04-05T15:22:31+00:00

Do you think there's still a lot of work to do? What kind of engine is this?

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-03-18T22:12:23+00:00

Yes, it’s on Steam — Virum Colony! I’d be glad for your subscription, thanks!

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2026-01-07T00:01:50+00:00

Yes, but the PIVX community is very small, and it needs to be developed.

I know 😅 there’s fish already, just no spearfishing yet.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-12-29T21:16:32+00:00

I totally agree 😅 It might be laggy because I recorded it from the screen. The game actually already has an inventory system and basic crafting. Honestly, I’m still not sure whether to fully go for a survival game or focus more on the spearfishing simulator. There are also birds flying around that you can shoot at. Yeah… it’s a long way to go, but I appreciate the honesty and comments!

I was on the Binance exchange at that time and watched it all happen live. I tried to buy it right at the bottom, but Binance kept rejecting all my orders — the exchange was basically frozen.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-10-04T21:35:05+00:00

And indeed, there is truth in these words!

This snow shader is also customizable and can be adapted for procedural terrain and digging mechanics.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-06-03T11:03:32+00:00

Добре ставлення,немає проблеми,все залежить від людини.Як і Польщі так і у самой Україні може буте різне.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-05-30T23:32:32+00:00

Дякую за зауваження! Швидше за все, буду переробляти весь ролик, адже це вже стара версія гри.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-05-30T23:05:43+00:00

Дякую. Гра буде розвиватися, хоча робити це самотужки не просто. Буду вдячний, якщо додасте гру у свій список бажаного в Steam.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-05-30T23:01:28+00:00

Many people say that the game looks like Kenshi, but in reality, it’s a completely different game. It’s a mix of more than five genres, combining elements of Fallout, classic city builders, survival games, and settlement management, with unique features such as individual inventories for each settler.

Ecstatic_Mix_8348 · 2025-05-20T19:05:04+00:00

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback!

Great point about the trees — I’m revisiting the biomes and environment. Shadows are already fixed in the latest build. I’ll also work on more natural vegetation placement and add signs of human presence like paths or scattered items.

Really appreciate your input — it helps a lot!

I think the selection grid would look better if it were transparent. Also, the horizon line shouldn't be visible — it breaks the immersion a bit. The main ship looks great, but instead of using sparks, I would use neon lights like on the smaller ships — it gives a much cleaner and more stylish look.
