They say every level designer has a calling card, and I guess this is mine.

Electrical sim in Ambrosia Sky has three states: Powered, unpowered, and "overloaded" - which is caused where electric fungi touches and feeds on power.

Overloaded power basically scrambles whatever it touches. Lights flicker, doors jam... and gravity generators fail.

But... I'm not just setting gravity to zero; Gravity is part of our world sim. So the "right way" to do this is to disable the nearby gravity generator.

So... how does one disable a gravity generator?

I am SO glad you asked.

With our new demo running during Steam Next Fest, I'm seeing more players discover Ambrosia Sky's immersive sim sensibilities.

I thought it might be fun to share a pair of moment from the demo that illustrates this, through the lens of how I do my work as a level designer.
