Dear Whiskers,

Under the King's graceful guidance, I send this dispatch regarding the benefits of taxation.

It is your honor & privilege to pay your taxes on time & in full, as a token of your fealty to our Kingdom.

Graciously,

Verticality is a core part of Whiskerwood's design. Every gameplay mechanic interacts with it in some way. 📈

Our latest dev diary takes you through the process of building a vertical city, and the unique challenges you'll face in the process.

Just wrapped up my daily rounds of additions to the starter packs, lists, and feeds.

Also, I've already discovered a wild collection of devs and games to which I'm pretty sure I'll lose entire weekends. (My backlog, please forgive me.)

If you'd like to be added to either collection, just tag me!
I've assembled a new Indie Strategy Game, Dev & Publisher Starter Pack & Feed.

If you're an indie game dev and want to be added, just respond! Repost to share it with others.
