Sand Simulation

I've added a sand simulation to the game. Sand voxels are now affected by gravity will spread out in a natural way.

The AngryBois

The cast of unsavory characters coming to the Outback Canyons biome is now complete. I wonder what their band name would be?? 🤔🎵🕺

The next update is nearly finished and should be out late next week hopefully. Its a pretty big one.

New Enemies and Weapons

I've been working on some new enemies, weapons and structures that you'll be able to find in the Outback Canyons biome. The new enemies can be pretty dangerous so watch out 👀☠️⚔️

Future Fluid Simulation Improvements

I've been working on a new fluid simulation algorithm to support a new enemies attack sequence. 

Right now it's only used for this acid fluid but it will be expanded to water and other fluids in the future. It supports collision with other objects not just voxels and will allow for a faster simulation speed once water is moved over. 

Building is Progressing

I've blocked out the first structure using the new building system. Pretty happy with how the tools are coming along. Now onto detailing 🏗️ 🚧 👷

A Quick Update

Howdy everyone,

Thought I'd give a little update on what im working on/my plans. 

If you have seen the roadmap you would know that the next update is a bunch of new structures, enemies, weapons etc for the outback canyons biome. Then the next update after that is building. 

To support the building update I am reworking how I build locations for the game to use the same building tools that you will have access to in the building update. 

This basically me...

New Biome: The Outback Canyons

Say hello to Lay of the Land's new biome. The Outback Canyons. Here rivers have carved deep ravines into the surrounding plateaus which are home to all kinds of weird & wonderful creatures. Still very WIP.

Fun fact: This biome is based on a real place that I visited called Kings Canyon located in the Northern Territory, Australia. Very cool place.

Welcome

Hey everyone,

Thanks for checking out my Patreon!! I thought for my first post I would introduce myself, my background and the game I have been working on.

Hi, I'm Matt, I live in Australia and I have been creating games since 2014. As you probably know, I have been working on an unnamed voxel game for around 2 years now. Well now the game now has a name: Lay of the Land.

The game is now far enough along in development where I feel comfortable allowing players who want to su...
