SUMMERHOUSE is my first solo-game and it's equal parts exciting and frightening.
I really enjoyed putting out a demo of the game before actual release though. It forces you to make the game shippable and it's incredibly motivating to see people play!
In less than 2 weeks, SUMMERHOUSE has sold 100k copies! Thank you all so so much! ππ»
This game started from a very personal, intuitive place and it means the world that so many of you gave it a try.

Since some people have been asking, this is what everything looks like in Blender, before pixelation FX:

#indiegame
Working on the feature EVERYONE's been asking for.
It's tricky in terms of UX, what input do you think would be intuitive for depth-selection? Mouse wheel is currently used for camera zoom, but I could rebind zoom & use that? Any other smart ideas?
Here's the process for my last

illustration. Sorry for the hectic editing style. I had to speed it up quite a bit, the original video is ~3hrs long:

SUMMERHOUSE is pretty minimalist in its mechanics, the main goal is to be creative.
However, certain block combinations unlock characters that you can use to add life to your scenes!

Throwback to the first visual test I built for SUMMERHOUSE π§‘π
I wanted to make a creative building game about houses that invokes the feeling of summer holidays as a child. Thought the low fi / pixel aesthetic would help convey that feeling and make asset creation easier.
I have thoroughly debased myself to get this to work.
Genuinely the hackiest code I've ever written, y'all better use a gamepad to select the resolution in SUMMERHOUSE! πΊ
If this get's over 5k likes I'll post the code.
One of the first houses I built to test my city level for SUMMERHOUSE. Can't wait to see what people build when this get released ππ¨π‘

SUMMERHOUSE just released, a game I had on my radar for a bit, and so far I'm really enjoying it. I love how modular many of the decorative pieces are. My first creation is a hermit's old cabin, tucked away, barely keeping itself together.
Looking forward to playing more ! ποΈποΈ
