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 other people built. There's also a big shared tree in the town square and a concert hall with live carols.</p> <h2> How it's made </h2> <p>I built and coded it myself in Godot. Some of the 3D models started from AI tools and I edited them by hand afterwards. The parts I've spent the most time on are the home editor (it has to feel good with a thumb) and the loading flow, so the screen never looks frozen on a phone.</p> <p>Happy to answer questions about any of it in the comments.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>It's free on the App Store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6829580528?pt=129721095&amp;ct=cm_devto&amp;mt=8" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6829580528?pt=129721095&amp;ct=cm_devto&amp;mt=8</a></p> <p>Feedback from other devs is very welcome, especially on what would make a decorating game feel more satisfying.</p> showdev gamedev godot indiegames
