And don't worry there will be a still option too!

What do you mean making unlockable keychains that move with your camera isn't the best use of my dev time?

Showcasing some trees I made for Melon 3 Studio.
Loved working on these! Of course, they look better in the actual game with the proper shaders applied, so hop over to Harvey's account and see what he is building!

👀✨Finally happy with this cutaway and CCTV effect so you can watch your guests and creatures go about their day~
I find it very calming to watch them mill about

🌸 Making improvements to placement! Added an optional grid indicator for players, and now you can hold Ctrl or long-press to snap objects right to the edge of their grid square—super smooth and satisfying. ✨

These are so fun! I would love to do this but I think at the base level Unity doesn't let you make these kind of extra OS windows without some shenanigans..

✨Creatures are starting to get unique behaviors!
Mothman 🦋 now flies up to tall perches and hangs out before fluttering back down. ^^
He’s the first in the game with a flying behavior (though he’s still a bit clunky in the air)!

Been doing a lot behind the scenes including:
🧠 Guest thoughts system
📦 Smoother item placement
🪟 Cleaner, integrated popups — they’ve got a new pager-style look!
