Dustlight

In this short exploration game, you wander a sky island at night that has crumbled into drifting dust. You play a small paper-lantern spirit, and color comes back to anything your warm light falls on. Each ember you find sends a spark to a landmark, a lighthouse, a keeper's cottage, a blossom tree or a shrine arch, and that landmark restores itself.

With all four standing, a fifth ember turns up on the lighthouse gallery and an updraft lifts you to it. Lighting the lamp brings a whale gathering itself out of the stars. An old lighthouse keeper speaks a few quiet lines along the way. You can play with keyboard and mouse or with touch controls.

Everything you see is drawn with about 1.7 million Gaussian splats rather than triangles. We built the models from Codex drawings in Blender 5.3, turned them into splats with Geometry Nodes, and the game draws them with Three.js and the Spark library. The sound effects are synthesised in code.
