Hello everyone, after a period of silence, we’re finally sharing our latest update.

The video shows a small demo based on the fortune-telling stall scene from the Along the River During the Qingming Festival painting.

At first, we were concerned that with too many tile assets, completing tasks in the level mode would require constantly searching through menus, which felt cumbersome. So we tried simplifying the process—resources related to each small task are now displayed directly. Testing it out, the flow feels much smoother.

Overall, Eaves will be a fun and free-form cyber museum of Chinese culture, delivered through a series of small levels. Completing levels unlocks special related resources, which can then be used in the free sandbox mode to create your own ancient-style world. Currently, I’m starting with Along the River During the Qingming Festival because reference materials for this piece are quite comprehensive. In the future, we plan to include various classical paintings, ancient architecture, and even classical poetry and prose, all integrated into levels of different sizes.

What do you think!

Hello everyone!



"Eaves" will meet you again at Beijing G-Fusion this weekend! At this exhibition, you can experience the latest unreleased demo on site!

After finalizing the core gameplay of my ancient Chinese-inspired casual building game Eaves, I’ve been obsessing over how to optimize the art style.

I spent ages searching for a simple yet stylish 3D modeling approach—but nothing clicked. At first, I tried traditional modeling (UV unwrapping, texturing…). Painfully time-consuming, and the results were… meh. 😅

Then, Blender’s Grease Pencil caught my eye (thanks, splash screen!). But turns out, it’s not super user-friendly, and exporting to Unity was a headache.

The Breakthrough? While browsing Sketchfab for inspiration, I stumbled on models with this charming hand-painted vibe—all made in Quill, a VR 3D drawing tool!

And wow—it’s a game-changer! 🚀

✅ Sculpt models in 3D space (like digital clay!)
✅ Animate directly in VR
✅ Buttery-smooth Unity integration

(No ads—it’s free! Though barely updated… please don’t die, Quill.)
Now, I’m rebuilding ALL assets in VR hand-painted style! Perfect for solo devs:

✨ No texture maps (just vertex painting!)
✨ Less stress over tiny details
✨ Pure, stylized charm
(Just don’t get motion sickness… or shaky hands!)

What do you think of the style? 👀 If you dig it, wishlist Chongyan on Steam to support the journey!

Hello everyone!

It has been quite a long time since the last Devlog update. In the past few months, "Eaves" has created a brand-new gameplay mode.

[h2]Story mode[/h2]

The brand new story mode, allows players to enter a world called "Gui Meng" as a Apprentice God of Fate, leading various lost souls, using "Xi Rang" to help the souls fulfill their wishes, understand the secrets of the soul, uncover its identity, and obtain new Xi Rang and rewards.


In addition to being able to use "Xi Rang" to build the world you want, players can also manipulate souls and freely explore the world of Gui Meng, enjoying the world you have built.


We have prepared some screenshots so that you can understand the current progress of the game. Of course, everything is still under development, and the screenshots do not show the final effect.




The new demo is also being developed intensively. If you don't want to miss the latest news of "Eaves", please add the game to your wishlist.

Thank you for your support!
