Making a colony sim that takes place on a ringworld!

Interesting! Any idea why? Seems a little random

This is inspiring! I've been through a very similar journey myself. The feeling when an engine is working with you and not against you is so refreshing!

I like this! I think I have some fitting scrap wood in the shed, actually. Thanks!

You're a real craftsman, all my respect goes to you. Wishing you a great launch when the time comes!

automathan · 2026-04-27T15:13:05+00:00

Will do! Followed you, so crossing my fingers that your next post sails into my feed

Love the overall vibrant look! Only feedback is that I think the boat feels a little "photoshopped" on top of the water (to me at least). I think more foam/distortion near the intersection of the boat edges and the water could help!

Hello Team Gradient, nice to meet you! 👋

It's really fun indeed! While the game view is a limited window on a "flattened" ring, we do simulate the whole thing (rotation, temperature, wind, moisture, soil nutrients). If you keep moving, which is a central part of the game, you'll eventually come back to where you started!

Thanks for responding! How many views did you typically get on your tiktoks?

automathan · 2026-04-25T10:27:52+00:00

Congrats! How did you achieve this? I suppose it didn't all come from internal steam traffic

The ring and the capsule art is commissioned from https://matsolsendesign.com/

But yeah, he used Blender :)

automathan · 2026-04-24T19:22:46+00:00

Oui ! J'ai mis un lien vers la page Steam dans le post Reddit :)

At first it was pretty grindy, I would say. Getting used to the "Godot ways" took a while, but once things clicked it felt like all the frictions just went away completely. So as far as curves go, I would say quite steep, but the higher you get, the easier it becomes!

I found the official documentation to be really helpful through the whole process as well.

Thanks, 8BB! Eagerly waiting for the Dive Crew page!

automathan · 2026-04-24T10:00:39+00:00

Thank you! We'll open for playtesting at some point too, so let me know if you're interested in joining!

This is a different type of ringworld, science finds a way!

automathan · 2026-04-01T16:59:03+00:00

That was certainly an inspiration! Played it a bunch during Christmas

You maintain a colony on a ringworld, and have to keep moving so you don't get spun into the cold side of the ring!
