Moonfall (v1.0.0)
Moonfall drops an apocalyptic timer to your walk's sky. A looming moon hangs in the distant sky, gradually growing larger as your time ticks away. In your last few minutes, the sky reddens, the earth shakes, the music swells, and you make the best peace you can with the end of all things as the inevitable arrives.
So whether you're a speedrunner or just want the group to lock in, why not embrace the end?
Controls & Usage
Host Controls
Shift + F10: Sets the start time to right now (StartUtc) and automatically copies it to your clipboard.Shift + F11: Resets/Clears the timer.
⚡ Features
- Customizable Change the default three hour timer to however long you want. Play yourself whatever sounds you want, however many seconds away from the end you want. Change the goodbye screen. Replace the moon with any glb model.
- Synchronized watches - Built-in network synchronization so all players with the mod installed experience the exact same countdown synchronized with the host. Non-host late joiners should automatically sync their clock to the host.
- Dynamic Moon Rendering: Custom moon model with adjustable apparent size, glow, textures, elevation, and azimuth.
- Doom Phase: In the final minutes before impact, screen vignettes activate, camera quakes rumble, and the sky run red.
- Physical Impact: When the counter hits zero, dramatic knockdown forces knock players over before the session terminates. Because the last thing you should hear is you falling on your bottom.
- Atmospheric VFX & Audio: Shockwaves, atmospheric entry flames/sparks, ambient lighting shifts, and sound effects.
