Sediment
Launches 2 October 2026 · PC · Casual, Indie, Simulation
A pixel-physics sandbox. Fifty materials, and every one of them is physics: sand finds its angle, water freezes, lava crusts into stone, gunpowder blows. Build your own materials and worlds, and share them in the Workshop.
Story
SEDIMENT is a pixel-physics sandbox. Fifty materials, and none of them is a picture: sand pours and finds its angle, water floods and freezes, lava crusts into stone, acid eats whatever it touches. EVERYTHING HAS A DENSITY Gold lies below everything else. Wash ore into a basin and the gold settles at the bottom as a layer of its own. Not because a rule says "gold sinks", but because it is heavier than what is around it. EVERYTHING HAS A TEMPERATURE Pour water onto lava and you get stone and a flash of steam. Heat only reaches what it touches: a wall two cells thick is already the limit. That is why a furnace here has to be a chamber with fuel inside it, not a fire beside it. SOME THINGS BURN, SOME EXPLODE Sulphur over cinder makes gunpowder. Gunpowder does not simply burn faster: it turns into a hot expanding gas that lights whatever it reaches. A spirit fuse in a trench carries the flame to the far end. EVERY GRAIN IS SIMULATED These are not particles on top of a picture. The whole world is cells, and every rule is an exchange between neighbours. Mass is never created or lost by accident. MAKE YOUR OWN MATERIALS A material is a JSON entry: density, phase, what it...
