🖥️ Self-Hosted Servers Are Here!

We’re giving the server power to YOU.

Why the change?
We’re a small indie team (not a AAA studio with millions in hardware), and dedicated servers are insanely expensive to rent and maintain. Instead of limiting the game or charging crazy fees, we’re putting the control in your hands.

With self-hosted servers, you’ll be able to:

  • Run your own server worlds at home or on a host of your choice.

  • Push updates from your world directly to our official Discord.

  • (Coming Soon) Connect your own Discord channel to your server for community updates.


🛠️ Modding Support Arrives

Yes, you read that right — modding is officially coming!
Self-hosting opens the door for full mod support, letting you create, customize, and completely change the game to fit your vision. From small tweaks to total overhauls, it’s all possible.


⏳ Why Now?

We know some of you might be thinking: "This took a while..." — and you’re right. Between some major technical roadblocks and summer family time, progress slowed down. But we’re back in full force and pushing hard to get this game ready for you to play, host, and mod.


What’s Next?

  • Public test build for self-hosted servers.

  • Modding documentation & workshop support.

  • More community tools for server owners.


Get ready — this is just the beginning.
We can’t wait to see the worlds you host and the mods you create.

Stay tuned,
The Watchers
