About This Project

Nightfall is a block/voxel type game being developed by Venatus. It is an open world sandbox game that pits you against dynamic and dangerous enemies along with other players. You can work together or go it alone to try and survive the harsh nights of Nightfall. Nightfall is almost entirely a modifiable sandbox where players can do whatever they want. To survive, players will need to gather resources and construct a shelter. However, when night falls, things get much more difficult. The players will need to defend against difficult dynamic enemies and survive to the next morning. Nightfall features crafting, procedural dungeons, dynamic AI and enemy behavior, PvP, a wide range of weapons and tools, creation and build tools to help you change your game, and much, much, more.

We like to think of block-based games a genre, rather than just being clones of a certain well known block game. While there are always going to be the pioneers of the genre like Minecraft, Castle Miner Z, Terraria, and other predecessors, we're working hard to produce a game that feels different from anything you've played before. At the same time, we also want to capture the similar feelings of building, exploration, and creation that you might find in other block games. Nightfall will feature a harder survival experience with things like temperature and seasons along with more dynamic creatures and enemies, a larger palette for building, unique procedural dungeons, a tiered underground system requiring stronger tools to go deeper for rarer materials along with underground biomes, an impressive inventory and accessory system, and entirely new ways to play!
