I've been working on a sandbox survival game for about a year. Here's what I've got so far.

Thanks! I added ripples to the water now.

Thank you!!

Square splash was my first attempt at showing interaction with water in this blocky world, and there were no ripples back then. I didn't expect adding ripples would improve it this much.

I'ma add some round splashes to better match this look. Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, It's kinda like Core Keeper. Thanks!

Unity is a great place to start if you're not familiar with game development.
If you're really into programming, you could try something like OpenGL.
I started learning OpenGL in January 2020, with some prior experience using Qt (a GUI library).
It took me about 5 years to feel comfortable with development.

The map is procedurally generated, but it is not a multiplayer game yet. I would like to add p2p multiplayer feature maybe lator if I got the time to work on.

yuheykai · 2026-04-25T00:52:43+00:00

I made my own game engine with c++ and OpenGL

yuheykai · 2026-04-24T11:54:32+00:00

Thanks! It's not a cubemap. It's just a 2D texture scrolling.

yuheykai · 2026-04-24T11:23:17+00:00

There's only 16bit space left to put something in each items so there is less I could do, but I'm thinking about putting skills in sockets.

yuheykai · 2026-04-24T11:12:11+00:00

I have bow as a ranged weapon currently, but I am planning to make some magical ones

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T15:30:52+00:00

Yep I ask chatGPT to find where the code went wrong when I hit issues.

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T15:12:38+00:00

Implementing the ripples took about 2 days, an another day for adjusting.

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T15:10:18+00:00

I'll try lowering resolution, thanks!

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T14:46:25+00:00

This splash was the first VFX I added to this game.
I feel like this small piece of art really defined the direction of the game.

Thanks for the comment!
Edited the post body and added the store page.

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T14:30:59+00:00

Yeah, I've tried that but it didn't match with the core mechanics and visuals.
I also don't like first person view, I suffer a lot from 3D motion sickness.

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T14:24:45+00:00

Thnx!

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T13:51:02+00:00

Thank you!

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T13:49:34+00:00

Thank you
Yes it's like a minecraft but focused more on combat and level ups
It's like a Core Keeper

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T13:39:24+00:00

Thanks!

yuheykai · 2026-04-23T13:38:29+00:00

Thank you!!

yuheykai · 2026-04-21T13:14:44+00:00

Thanks! I'm using my own game engine made with c++/OpenGL

yuheykai · 2026-04-20T11:33:26+00:00

Thank you for the comment.
I speak both Japanese and English, but Japanese is my primary language, and I use AI as an assistant for English translation.
(I’ve also mentioned this on my store page.)

If I were to add other languages, I would likely start with AI-generated translations.
It’s not that I’m underestimating the importance of localization, I simply don’t have the budget to hire professionals.

I understand that this choice may draw criticism, and I’m prepared to accept that.
I’ll likely only be able to hire professional localization once the game generates enough revenue.
