Elysian Eclipse V 0.6.4 will take a few more days. I'm going to release it together with the tiny showcase video for the new combat abilities.

Nuggets can now be found roaming around the world! As always, they will serve as combat dummies. They often get stuck in the ground and will be catapulted into the air, if you touch them. It's very funny, but I'll sadly have to fix that. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

It's been a while since I last posted. The update turned out to be much bigger than planned. I made a terrain populator tool that can not only spawn objects like plants and creatures, (stupid character limit) #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

An Unity editor window, showing various settings of the terrain populator.

The world generation has been expanded, so the plant editor trees and rocks are integrated into the terrain now. The next step will be to create more natural layouts and allow creatures to spawn too! #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Legs now get automatically grouped together for more natural walk animations. In this example, the four hind legs form a group, making them take alternating steps, while the front legs move independently from them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7bq... #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 23/07/2026

I had to remove a few editor parts, because the particle system still has some problems. But even without them, V 0.6.3 will contain 17 new parts. Here is the full list:

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 18/07/2026

Howdy. More flower parts have been added to the editor. V 0.6.3 will be ready for release in about a week. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

The weather is still awful and I'm really tired, but I managed to add some more plant editor parts: Gel Bubbles and Raindrop Fruits! #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A turquoise, mushroom-like plant. It has bubbles, filled with some kind of gel on its cap. Its fruits hang from long vines and look like raindrops.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 27/06/2026

The development of #ElysianEclipse has been paused for a while, due to extreme heat. V 0.6.3 will likely be released mid to late July. Blorb has melted and we are trying to transfer him to the bathtub.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 23/06/2026

It's still pride month, so I made a gay house for the gay Blorb! But most importantly: Flags have been implemented! In the future, you will be able to fully customize your empire's flag with the flag editor. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame #PrideMonth

I'm working on animated eyelids for creatures, aswell as controls for rolling vehicles. Both are unfinished, so I somehow ended up with a sad Nugget, trapped in a ball. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

I'm working on improving the animation system. It won't be anything too fancy yet, but will include things like breathing, eye movements, and, uh... Look at her go! Well, I'll post a short preview video once everything is working as intended again, lol. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

I added a new system that allows you to add irregularities to some parts that are normally symmetrical, to make them look more natural. You can also control the strength of the noise. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A plant with radially symmetrical tendrils, next to a plant with more varied tendril lengths.

Among other visual improvements, V 0.6.1 will add detailed grass to creature stage. I should problably touch some grass too. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

It is time to reveal the ACTUAL winners of the architecture art contest! Well, I said there are going to be at least 3 winners. And since there weren't many entries this time, I've decided, fuck it, everyone wins!!! #ElysianEclipse #ElysianEclipseContest #ArtContest

A collage of submitted contest entries, with mediums ranging from hand drawn art to Minecraft builds.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 09/04/2026

I'm currently fixing all the bugs caused by the migration and also further polishing the graphics. The shadow quality has been improved and aquatic stage is brighter now. But most important of all: There now is an useless button that makes duck sounds. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A pause menu, with regular options like "Resume" and "Exit Game", which also contains a "Quack" button for some reason.

1182

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 03/04/2026

It's going to take some time until the actual contest winners get announced. I have some real life work to do and also need a break from all the render pipeline stuff.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 01/04/2026

It is time to reveal the winners of the Architecture art contest! The third, second, and first places all go to... Wauzmons. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who participated! #ElysianEclipse #AprilFools

A bad drawing of a purple, duck-shaped building, titled as the duck factory. It has a door at the bottom and a window as eye. The beak is labeled as chemical exhaust. It is also wearing a fancy hat. Next to the building, the "Saddam Hussein's hiding place" meme is depicted.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 31/03/2026

#ElysianEclipse 0.6.0 Comparison: Version 0.6.0 is a huge step forward! While it doesn't contain any new features, it runs on the new render pipeline and brings lots of graphical and technical improvements. The file size has been reduced by 500 MB and it runs about 15% faster in a lot of places.

i built some "concept art" for the #elysianeclipsecontest! just some lowkey medieval/ancient looking buildings with a unified styling in the overhang held up by the pillars at the front, and a hobbit-hole-like mound backside.

a minecraft build of a scene with four houses in front of a field, and a palace on top of a cliff behind them. except the grass is magenta and the crops are red and purple. the cliff is orangeish beige, as are the houses.

the workshop, a small house with two floors (the upper floor much smaller, with a tall chimney next to it)

the basic dwelling, a simple small building with two pillars in front of its two windows and a central door, the pillars supporting a horizontal stone beam. all the other buildings have this feature.

a palace of sorts, either some sort of castle or a praying place. it's much bigger than the other two houses but still the same style

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 27/03/2026

Let's gooo! The render pipeline migration is pretty much done and all of the stages are playable again! I even improved some mechanics like the creation viewer (see screenshot) and the decal system. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A cake (that is actually a creature) opened in the creation viewer.

The render pipeline migration is progressing. The creature editor is already fully functional again. Some of the colors are different, but it is still looking decent. Has been pretty frustrating so far. #ElysianEclipse

The time has come. Usually the big updates like 0.4.0 or 0.5.0 each contained the foundation of a new stage. 0.6.0 is going to be something way less fun though.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 24/02/2026

The tropical valley, will be the first biome to receive a rework. It will be much bigger and sandier. The mountains are higher and have more natural shapes with visible erosion. Still work in progress. Vegetation is disabled at the moment. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A screenshot of the biome, described in the post, featuring a huge mountain and two beaches.

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 17/02/2026

I'm working on a new terrain generation prototype for a lot of different creature stage biomes! V 0.5.5 will include at least one reworked and one new biome. New plant editor updates have been pushed back a bit in favor of this. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Another shows Blorb holding a "pls give me all your money" sign. And the last one reading "WauzTech". An energy core is positioned in the center of the room. It looks like a minature star.

Blorb has been sent to the new space stage prototype. Here he will construct a space station, the Blorb Station™, which will serve as hub for testing space stage mechanics. Wish him luck, as he ventures where no Blorb has gone before! #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Elysian Eclipse now has new fonts! The text is now more stylized and rounded, especially for headings. Small caps have been removed completely to make everything more consistent. Here is a before and after of the archive. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Before: Hard edges on letters. Titles and buttons use small caps.
