Here's a quick character sketch of the drog: a curious, feisty creature in Phantom of the Grove, tasked with the total and utter deforestation of your sacred grove.

Balancing localisation costs with lore is a tricky one..

On one hand, giving the player something to discover in our mushroom foraging colony sim is really gratifying. But also, I want our games to be loved all around the world.

How do you approach localisation?

Cheers - we're currently pretty happy with table lists and matrices in Odin but if we have a need for a more fully fledged spreadsheet visualiser we'll give it a try ✨

A long-time friend of our studio drew this crazy amazing concept art (she called it a sketch!)

This is Gaston, the froggy samurai protagonist of a personal letter I once received that we've slowly been making into a game over the past decade.

The conundrum with particle fx in pixel art is you either get interesting variations or pixel perfect. You can choose from mismatched pixel sizes, zero variation, or rotated pixels.

Here are the three approaches, each with something new to tolerate.

Choose your fighter?

Experimenting with the growth and contraction of mycelium. This spongey fungus provides fertile ground for "buildings" called Blooms.

We're trying to find a balance of visual clarity without overcomplicating the border algorithm. Has anyone done anything like this before?

No problem at all! If you're looking for inspo on what to draw next, may I suggest these little guys?

We're having a lot of fun exploring different takes on this concept and would love to see what you come up with!

Awesome, thanks for the info! If you guys get excited about cozy-spooky colony games, we're making a "fungal fairycore" game about gaslighting enemies

I'd love to stay in touch- we're releasing a big announcement in April ✨

The enigmatic Seely are a curious blend: fungi musk foragers, devoted nature conservationists, and fierce guerrilla warriors who trump their invaders.

Which design is your favourite?

In January we participated in #piratejam 16 and were floored by the positive reception (even snagged most popular for a few days!) We're pushing towards a HUGE design update with colony and resource management elements. Check it out on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3510510/

Writing short descriptions on Steam is hard! I'm workshopping ours for Phantom of the Grove - feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Pro tip: ??

Ask ChatGPT to pretend you just dropped a launch trailer and it went VIRAL 📈, and ask it to write a bunch of YT comments. The results are kinda hilarious and kinda fire 😂🔥

If the Lorax stopped asking nicely 🤣

Remastering our website lately. Short of this acid trip of an experience, I think we landed on something quite light and fun, what do you think? 👉 survansix.com

Ohh The Ritual was craazy! You mean this guy right?

Damn, I watched that with my partner last year and we were way too spooked to go straight to bed after lol

This week, we're exploring how mycelium can *creep* through the forest and serve as the Grove's synaptic growth. Think Zerg creep meets brain function.
