Initial Launch - World Builder v0.1.0
World Builder is here. Pull a few sliders, hit Regenerate, and watch a whole pixel-art world snap into place — terraced mountains, carved river valleys, sun-baked desert, snow-capped peaks. Then drop in and actually play in the world you just made.
Here's what you can do right now:
Here's what you can do right now:
- Generate anything. Seed, height, ruggedness, sea level, moisture, rivers, roads — the dials go from gentle coastal flats to jagged mountain ranges to flooded archipelagos. Every world is built from its seed, so a world you love is one you can get back exactly.
- Pick your look. Flip the same landscape between Voxel, Low-poly, and Smooth styles, across eight biomes that fade into each other with hand-made trees, rocks, cacti, and boulders.
- Sculpt by hand. Grab the brush to raise hills, carve craters, flatten plateaus, paint the ground, add or drain water, and plant forests — live, right in the world.
- Get around in style. A full toybox of traversal gadgets, always on your hotbar: a grapple that yanks you off your feet and swings you across canyons, a jetpack you can tilt into full horizontal flight, a glider that banks into turns, rocket boots for super jumps, a balloon for lazy drifting — and a lantern that actually glows for night expeditions.
- Make it yours. Dress up in the outfit picker (your look saves between sessions), dial in mouse or controller look sensitivity, and play the whole thing on gamepad if that's your style.
- Golden hour, on demand. Jump the clock to dawn, noon, dusk, or night — or pause the sun entirely, nudge the light hour by hour, pop into the free camera, and grab the screenshot. There's a gravity slider too. Moon jumps are encouraged.
- Play together. Hit Launch Server and friends join by short invite code — or skip the code entirely and invite them straight through Steam. Up to 16 players in the same world, with proximity voice chat so you can explore side by side.
- Reshape the world - together. Mid-game, the host can reopen the world editor, preview a brand-new world in full 3D, and hit "Reshape for everyone." The old world melts away and the new one rises out of the ocean around every connected player. Nobody disconnects. Nobody reloads.
Save your worlds, reload them anytime, and keep building.
What's next? Game modes are coming — the Tab menu already has a seat saved for them. Think round-based mayhem with your gadgets across worlds you built. Also on the workbench: drivable vehicles (a jeep is sitting in the garage getting its suspension sorted), saved outfit loadouts, and a wildlife pass to bring creatures to the biomes.
This is just the start — I'm actively working on World Builder, so jump in, make something, and tell me what you'd love to see next. Feedback and bug reports are hugely welcome. See you out there.
