Show DEV: I built a cozy Christmas village game in Godot, solo
Hi DEV, I'm the solo developer of Christmas Town, a free iPhone game where you decorate your own house, yard and Christmas tree in a snowy village. What it is It's a cozy decorating game, not a farming sim. You pick the roof color and light style on your house (warm white, candy cane, icy blue, vintage, pastel), set up the yard, hang ornaments on your tree, and walk around the village to see what…
Hi DEV, I'm the sole creator behind Christmas Town, an iPhone game available for free where you personalize your own home, yard, and Christmas tree in a winter wonderland village. This is a game centered around cozy decorating, not farming or other genres. You are able to select the roof color and lighting style for your home - options include warm white, candy cane, icy blue, vintage, and pastel.
You can also arrange the yard, hang ornaments on the tree, and explore the village to view the creations of other players. There's also a prominent shared tree in the town square and a concert hall where live carols are performed.
I developed and programmed the entire game independently using Godot. A few of the initial 3D models were initially created using AI tools but were later manually refined. The aspects that required my most attention were the home editor, which needed to be user-friendly with a thumb, and the loading process, ensuring the screen never appeared frozen on a phone.
I am more than happy to answer any inquiries you may have about the creation process. Feel free to explore the game, which is free on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6829580528?pt=129721095&ct=cm_devto&mt=8. Constructive feedback from fellow developers is highly appreciated, particularly regarding features that could enhance the decorating experience.
