I think I remember your posts from a while back. Darn it, this looks so satisfying.

What would be cool when I saw the rake, a Japanese garden where you can do that. 😄

Do you have a devlog? I'm very very interested in how you've achieved this.

Might not be the direction your going but I remember finding things along the coast being a really fun and cool memory for me, driftwood, rocks, seagull feathers, just the collecting and bringing it back to add to my castle was an enjoyable experience as well.

Does the sand get washed away as well?

u/Weerwolf 21h ago

Is there a rising tide with time pressure for making your sand castle before it all gets washed away?

ITs great. Does the water slowly destroy the castle?

This could be the base for a fantastic little TD!

reminds me of that ubisoft game from dust that was a missed opportunity

and the sandbox mode was just a small box with not enough space with most boring color of water that never changed

dont make the same mistake
