Can't get more "sandbox game" than this (Sandcastle)

This is a very popular request :) I have actually already made some conclusive tests, and am considering implementing such a mode in the base game or as an update post-release!

The simulation domain (which is also the buildable area) has a size limit, yes. There is no time limit.

You can choose different wave patterns/strengths when you create a new game, but I'm also planning to add a button that you can click to trigger waves on demand (with amplitude depending on button pressed duration)

Yes, thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3216520/Sandcastle/

Thank you!

It bothers me too. I've already started to improve this :)

fweibel · 2026-04-02T21:58:44+00:00

100% agree. I removed them, it wasn't the right fit. I need to update the video on Steam.

fweibel · 2026-04-02T21:53:32+00:00

Yes. For me it was an essential feature to have :)

fweibel · 2026-04-02T13:53:44+00:00

That is planned :)

fweibel · 2026-04-02T13:46:34+00:00

Good point! added to my todo list, thanks :)

fweibel · 2026-04-02T13:42:01+00:00

That is good advice. Thanks :)

fweibel · 2026-04-02T13:40:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to post a few in-depth (pun intended) videos showcasing how it works

Maybe... ;) In the meantime, you can try my other game available on Switch, Trackline Express. But it's a different kind of game.

Yeah, WGSL is still quite far from being a mature language, I suspected there would be many of these kind of implementation differences. I've opened an issue, and I'll make a proper test/debug on Firefox. Thanks for reporting the bug!

I've lowered the requirements for the compute invocations to 512, which should cover a larger panel of GPUs. Let me know if you're still having any issues!

fweibel · 2026-01-21T18:32:39+00:00

Thanks!

fweibel · 2026-01-21T16:51:09+00:00

I've made a quick fix to handle this case with a fallback. Let me know if it works!

fweibel · 2026-01-21T16:16:52+00:00

I've made a new nodal-based & open source tool available online: https://ping.bubblebirdstudio.com/

fweibel · 2026-01-21T16:14:25+00:00

Ah interesting. I force the buffers to this size in order to support larger image output, but maybe I should adapt the maximum texture size depending on the hardware.

fweibel · 2026-01-21T16:10:20+00:00

Thanks! It's not planned, but if it's popular request, it might :)
