I just released Meadowfell, a relaxing open world exploration game on iOS. No quests or combat. Just a peaceful, procedurally generated world to explore.

Download on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/meado...

If you enjoy it, please share to support a solo dev❤️

I need some help. Dune Barrens was rejected for being "not responsive to taps on the world size page"
Device: iPad Air (5th Gen), iPadOS 26.1
If you have an iPad (especially that model/OS) can you try this TestFlight and see if the buttons and slider work?

A quick time-lapse of some Dune Barrens features: generating a river, planting trees with the garden creator, exploring the world, and shape-shifting into a Greater Lézard. Running on an iPad Pro 2020 with a gamepad attached.

Dune Barrens on iPad, creating procedurally generated rivers, pathfinding, carving the landscape, generating flow maps and erosion on the fly with particle culling and custom shaders.

The less glamorous side of indie game dev: weeks spent juggling new launches, Unity security fixes across 5 games and 3 app stores, Google’s 16KB rule, and Apple/Google emails about new taxes and tighter sales limits. The actual game-making? On pause😉

Inspired by today's Affinity surprise drop I found Phoenix Code, a free open source web designer, and used it to update my website, and Affinity to edit the images. I loved Dreamweaver but I wanted something leaner.

Dune Barrens launches this November. It's my 5th open-world game, 7th mobile title, and 14th game overall, counting the 7 Flash games I made early on🙏🏽

I rebuilt the sky system for Dune Barrens to support quiet moments that better fit a desert environment, with options for sunrise, heat distortion and even sand storms.

Dune Barrens on iPad is coming November. It brings several improvements to my procedural rivers & waterfalls that are coming to Wilderless + Meadowfell too. Drop a river source wherever and watch it flow, or explore and find natural ones in the world.

I was going to do a desert in 2016 but felt they were kind of dull, so I made Nimian Legends: Vandgels instead. Its cool to finally be back to deserts again❤️

Procedurally generated rivers in Wilderless: #DuneBarrens. Here I've spawned a few along a ridge. Rivers combine naturally creating a massive cliffside waterfall. You can see how UNDO works too - erasing individual rivers leaving the original landscape😀

Wilderless: Dune Barrens introduces two new creatures:
Scarabs that skitter across the sand before taking flight, and Burrow Turtles that can tunnel beneath the desert at will. You can find, spawn, or shape change into both.
