How player content works in The Sapling


The Sapling was built from the ground up with community interaction in mind. This interaction goes both ways: players can take stuff generated by or for the game, and use it in their own creations, or they can add their own creations to the game.

This article https://thesaplinggame.com/devlogs/playercontent.html functions as an in-depth guide on how to do this, to be used as reference. It's a living document that will be updated continuously. If you find any things that are unclear or just incorrect, or have more ideas you want to share with other creators, drop me a line at [email protected] .

Overview of the information on that page:

  1. Repurposing material from the game

    1. Music

    2. Exporting lifeforms and animations generated by the game

    3. Using gameplay statistics from the API

  2. Extending the game

    1. Scenarios

    2. Body parts

    3. How to create asset bundles

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Strange Umbrella

a drawing I did because I was bored😪. But I love how it turned out.😊

An infected room from the second part of Cybel ! Are you up for some cleansing?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Alone Together....

2d lighting experiment

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
