Hey there! 👋 We're Survansix, a micro gaggle of game makers from around the world 🇻🇳🇧🇷🇦🇺
For the past 10 years, we've been dreaming up a story that's dear to our hearts and we've made every mistake in the book. We're currently in a training montage as we go from scope creep nightmare to LAUNCH 👊

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?

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.

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?

Didn't get our metamorphosis feature done today for a #ScreenshotSaturday.
But I did:
- learn a little more of how not to do it
- chat with some cool devs on bsky
- install a youtube blocker
- sink a few hours into my pixel skills
- maybe reach a fellow dev going through it too
We got this 👊

When you hit a lull in your productivity, what brings you back into focus?
I took a few weeks away from the constant social posting and it's weird how daunting it to feels to hit post again.

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/

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 🤣

Been diving into The Long Dark lately - idk if this is a shared experience but I can't just *enjoy* a game anymore. I've always gotta be studying it 🤔
But playing the Early Access demo vs what it is today was very cool. The core spirit is definitely there.
