Dandelion Void from Project Zomboid modders will offer up plant-based horrors

Originating from a team of Project Zomboid modders, Manzanita Interactive announced Dandelion Void featuring deadly plant-based creatures. It definitely has a sort of Zomboid style, which I think is quite charming actually and from the trailer it looks like it works well for the setting.

This is a single-player game, with you trying to survive on the starship Pergola which was supposed to be a "civilization in a bottle". Obviously, everything went wrong and now it's quite a bit overrun with greenery and some of it appears to be quite dangerous.

Keeping to their roots, it will be very moddable. The developers will be providing a map editor and a "robust Lua API for modders". So you'll be able to "Create and modify maps, import custom clothing and weapons, or dream up whole new Lua scripted scenarios and biomes".

Highlights:

• Cut through jungle corridors in search of crafting supplies, exotic weapons, and rare decorations.
• Pry open long sealed bulkhead doors — just pray the void of interstellar space isn’t waiting for you on the other side.
• Patch up rotted spacesuits, lead lined radiation gear, and other protective garments to traverse dangerous new areas.
• Stockpile for the next cold snap; life support is on the fritz after centuries of neglect, and you can never be sure when it might fail… for days or even months at a time.
• The jungle is alive, and extremely hostile. Will you chance a run through the serrated tendrils of crawling plant life, or barricade up and hide somewhere safe?

You'll need Proton to play it on Linux.

They're also on Bluesky if you wish to follow along.
