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

Wauz 🦇 @wauzmons.elysian-eclipse.com · 19/08/2026

You can now spawn your custom plants into the world! The terrain generation is also currently being expanded, so everything gets populated with plants, made in the plant editor! #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.

1110

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

A Nugget with sad looking eyes, trapped in a transparent ball on a floating platform in space.

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.

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.

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.

Finally, the editor. You can notice that the color grading is different, but I tried to keep it close to the original.

240

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

The background and asteroids in space stage have been improved and some planets have thicker atmospheres now.

100

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

The creature stage got an increased render distance and the horizon is more orange. Otherwise pretty similar.

100

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

In aquatic stage, the kelp and caustics look definitely better. It's a little bit darker now. Maybe too dark? Not sure.

100

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

Next we have the cell stage. It looks more vibrant and foamy. The lighting on the microbes also feels better.

100

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

The title screen is mostly the same, but a bit dimmer. I'd maybe say that the old one is a little prettier, while the new one is less noisy.

100

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

A procedural landscape covered in dry, rocky hills.

A crabfish swimming through an aquatic stage area. The tooltip for its age reads:

Juvenile Age

Blorb and Kibby sitting on a bench in a space station. A golden statue of Blorb, aswell as several signs are visible in the background. One sign shows a Wooblor microbe. 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

Some more progress on the plant editor. You can now create twisted tree trunks. The "cap" of this plant is a work in progress version of one of the first fungus parts. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A red plant with a twisted stem and thorny branches. The stem ends in a broad cap, which branches into a circle of tentacles with a bush in its center.

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.

1203

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

Mounts now have their own ability hotbars! While riding the crabfish, you can let it perform a spin dash, just like in aquatic stage. Its health and energy are shown too while riding. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A garfield-like creature, riding on a crabfish. Two additonal health and energy meters are shown on the HUD. Mount health has a horse icon, while energy has a carrot icon. The hotbar contains the dash and dismount abilities. The space between them is filled with empty slots.
