Spooky season might be over, but weve been scarily busy with some exciting new updates! Weve got plenty of treats (and maybe a few tricks!) ready for you.
Building & Blocks
A couple of months back, we realized our blocks werent lining up right, so we had to redo one of the tile sets from scratch to make sure everything fits just right. Even if you cant see the difference, trust us its there
Sky & Visuals
Weve been experimenting with sky shaders to bring more life into our game just look at this beautiful view!
3D Art & Concepts
Weve finally kicked off some first designs for the island's kittizens, and we cant wait to show you this cuteness!
Thanks for all the love with your wishlists and likes while we work on the game! Join our Discord and drop your feedback so we can make it better together!
