ShadeDawn has no map border 🌍 The world is an infinite grid: one island per 900m cell, generated as you reach it. Four climates - meadow, snow, desert, volcano - and every island gets its own relief. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

31 pieces of gear in ShadeDawn ⚔️ 6 weapons, 9 tools and 3 full armour sets - metal, obsidian, diamond. Every one is craftable, and each set is a journey to a different climate. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

Every climate has its own ore ⛏️ Metal at home, obsidian only in the desert (24%), the only diamonds under the snow (6%). The volcano has none on purpose: it was in at 14%, taken out so the desert keeps its reward. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Same game, alone or together 🌍 No watered-down solo mode, no separate multiplayer mode. A server holds 100, ticking 30 times a second. Every piece remembers who built it. Nobody breaks your house. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

One house, and what it cost 🪓 50 pieces = 219 wood = 50 trees = 99 axe swings. The wood isn't what fills your bag: 215 leaves came with it. That's what chests are for. The forest grew back in 90 seconds. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

I dug a hole next to the sea 🌊 Five metres below sea level, and dry - until one shovel too far. No fluid simulation: the game asks if the hole reaches open water, and answers once, when you break through. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

Nature is alive in ShadeDawn 🐇 Pigs in the meadow, rabbits in the snow, camels in the sand, goats on a volcano. Look closely at the snow shot - there is a wolf watching the rabbit. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

Fifty pieces, four seconds, one fixed shot 🏠 Foundations, walls, a door, two windows, pillars, the roof, then the chest and the fire. By hand it takes about twenty minutes. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

One hostile per biome, and each one wants a different weapon ⚔️ Pighounds in the grass, wolves in the snow, snakes in the sand, and lava salamanders at 95 HP on the volcano. Free in your browser: shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

Five NPCs, one per biome, and every one wants a hunt done. Five pighounds, five wolves, five snakes... and four salamanders 🌋 Not a typo: they have 95 HP each. Difficulty sets the count. shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

My lava used to be a wall. A wall blocks both ways, so I kept trapping myself in my own volcano. The fix wasn't a door. Lava is a liquid now: it had a floor, it was just missing a surface level. You float on it, it kills in 8s, and you come out on fire. shadedawn.com #indiedev #gamedev

My sea turtle was untouchable in 50 cm of water, and nothing said why. Hiding was a state - is she diving? The dive clamps to the seabed, so she stayed at the surface while every hit was refused. It is a depth now. shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

My game had three tree shapes, scattered evenly. Now there are twelve and they grow in clumps. The orchard is 15 apple trees in rows - a shape the generator never plants. shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

Every island in my game used to be a circle. The one you start on still is - I measured it, 3.5% off a true disc. The 16 others are 18 to 42% off. Some grew bays, one broke off into its own islet. shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame

A stranger on a snow island asked me for five wolves. I fought them in the dark, came back, and he actually opened his chest for me - frost sword inside. NPCs that keep their word. shadedawn.com #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #survivalgame
