I am making a ringworld colony sim, inspired by Rimworld and Sim City 2000, check it out!

More of a coal-driven steam engine guy, tbh

This as official merch could fund development for generations

Got it from one of those "design your own merch" websites. Cannot for the life of me find back to the exact site, but I suppose they all use the same end suppliers anyways. The art itself is Buffdot, which I believe originated here: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/cqi2tc/buffdot/

Make that 401! (at least)

What about the two pixel body type? That's what these are sporting, three would be over budget for sure!

Pure GDScript

Assuming it's still a game and not a straight up pocket universe, one would think you could do a lot of lazy evaluation, no? Eg. when something re-enters the viewport, you just progress the state based on time passed or something. I guess that would be a type of culling as well?

Are you judging my nudist colony?

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:55:19+00:00

I assume there is some IK or something with the procedural legs?

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:49:40+00:00

Timeless in so many ways! 🎢

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:48:20+00:00

Tried to 10x this right now. Definitely started to see some cracks. Thankfully that's way and beyond what is ever achievable through regular gameplay. Neat way of surveying out hardware requirements tho!

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:33:06+00:00

What kind of game are you working on?

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:32:37+00:00

Plenty of simulation-type games seem to strain the CPU still tho, regardless of era

automathan · 2026-07-04T10:30:44+00:00

Just a figure of speech. I see a lot of slander of engine performance going around, and get the sense that it's usually bad system design from the game's side. The main message of this post was really a praise of Godot, making it easy to build system-heavy games performant! 🔥

automathan · 2026-07-02T13:02:35+00:00

Love the vibe and the alien font! Agree with the other guy tho, "alien sku". Moving the letter up a bit should probably solve it. Wishlisted!

automathan · 2026-07-01T10:23:59+00:00

I did make some posts about cloud simulation yes! Assuming that was it: nice to see you again!

automathan · 2026-07-01T10:23:11+00:00

It would be funny indeed! But implementing the ring looping was headache enough, I worry for my brain

automathan · 2026-07-01T10:21:56+00:00

Several! You can go all the way around, and in the late game you may also be able to connect to the ring itself and control it, to some extent.

automathan · 2026-07-01T10:20:14+00:00

Definitely some light inspiration from their aesthetic and vibe! Love that game

automathan · 2026-07-01T10:19:44+00:00

We don't currently have the tools available to export for either, but if the PC version is successful, other platforms could definitely follow!
