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

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!

What Are You Doing In My Swamp!?

Now spruce forest monsters can vomit forest shields, but Brutal Castle will not stop!
