ok so… I’m making a game 👀
Hey guys, how are you?
I’ve been keeping this quiet for a while, but I think I’m finally ready to show a little bit of it. Don't ask me how I end up here but I’m making my own game :D It’s called CASTAWAYS PIX a 2d pixel island life-survival simulator where you create your little Pix, build a shelter, collect things, take care of needs, decorate, survive, and slowly turn an empty beach into a home.
To be clear the main inspiration is The Sims Castaway :) This is not a remake or anything like that just heavily inspired by that feeling being stuck on an island, starting with almost nothing, and somehow making it cute lol. I’ve always loved that vibe so much. The game is still very WIP, and some parts are honestly messy as hell right now, but it’s already becoming a real thing.
So far I’ve been working on character creation, pix visual ekements, needs, inventory, building, furniture, rooms, lighting, weather, day/night, resources… basically all the little systems that make this kind of game feel alive.
Ngl I really want it to have mod support! Since you know me from ts4 CC, I can’t imagine making a life sim without CC. So I’m building it with that in mind for clothes, hair, furniture, textures, maybe custom packs later. I want people to be able to add their own stuff and make the game feel more personal ^^
The plan is to share updates here first: WIP screenshots, dev posts, some messy progress, and test builds when they’re ready. Patrons (all tiers) will get the early stuff before a wider release, which place I still have no idea :)
Important to say that I’m not quitting TS4. I’m still here, still making CC :* This is just a bigger project I’ve wanted to try for a long time.
I’m kinda nervous to post this because it’s still early, but I’m also excited to finally show what I’ve been cooking!!!
More soon ^^
Also I’m curious which part you want me to show more of first? Idk maybe character creator, building, island gameplay, or modding stuff? Thank you so much for being here and supporting my work!

Wow! This is amazing! "The Sims Castaway" was one of the highlights of The Sims 2 for me. Are you keeping the quest format with a sequential series of pre-determined tasks?
Thank you! Kinda seeing it as two game modes (rn game has them both): story mode and another one more free life-sim (which I mostly working with atm) sandbox just to build, decorate, explore an etc and just take care of your Pixs at your own pace :)
Making me remember virtual villagers but more cunty 💅🏽
I'm screamiiing 😭
I’m diggin this!!! Can’t wait for the finished product
