Watch a single shared map fill with animals, fires, floods, and little cultures learning how to survive together. Nudge the world gently as a forest god – or sit back and see what your creatures invent on their own.
You don’t place buildings or unlock tech trees. You make tiny nudges: guide paths, safe sanctuaries, storms and stories that shape how your animals learn to live here.
Everyone connects to the same living forest. Time marches on, fires spread, herds migrate and weather rolls through whether you’re online or not.
Use the God toolbar to place sanctuary bubbles, migration beacons or storm bursts. Animals notice and slowly adapt their habits and stories.
The forest remembers fires, floods and gatherings. You can use that memory to teach safer routes, share sanctuaries or even experiment with harsher climates.
Turn your forest into a teaching space, a cozy screensaver, or a chaotic climate experiment and share what happens with friends and community.
Under the hood there’s one deterministic world ticking away: fixed time steps, fire and water, route heatmaps, animal brains and culture fields all reading the same map.
Everyone shares the same forest. Weather, fire and animals are simulated once, then synced to all clients.
Fire spreads across fuels, rain and storm cells cool things down, rivers flood low ground and smoke marks danger.
Animals remember safe paths, scary fires and shared resting spots. Those memories turn into tiny cultural rules.
Pixel Pet Studio is still growing. The forest you join today will gain new species, smarter weather and deeper cultural tools.
Core loop: animals, fire, rain, sanctuaries, migration beacons, and a God toolbar that actually works.
Dynamic clouds, wind and weather fronts that animals react to, plus richer memories and social rules.
Timeline tools, classroom-friendly modes and ways to share stories that your forest has lived through.
Pixel Pet Studio works best as something you experiment on together – comparing burns, sanctuaries, floods and stories.
Pixel Pet Studio is being built slowly and carefully. If you’d like to support development or use it in your classroom, reach out.
