Hello BlueSky! I'm Joana, a 🇵🇹 #gamedev!
I'm currently developing a Colony Sim + RPG game! Think RimWorld meets Fire Emblem! ⚒️🤖⚔️
In "Salve, Viriathe!" you play as the Lusitanians as they resist Rome's annexation of Iberia.
I stream its development every Tue-Fri on www.twitch.tv/sorcerystory! 📺

I'm back! I've organized the project a bit while I was away, and I'm on fire and ready to go! Today I'll be cleaning up the code some more!

Hey everyone!
Just letting you know in case you missed the end of stream last Friday: I'll be taking a break from streaming for the next 3 weeks. I'll be back to my usual shenanigans on January 6th, 2026!
I hope you all have a great festive season! I'll see you next year! 😊💚

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️
I worked on a new in-game clock! It's a button that you can either click to advance one hour at a time, or drag to advance several hours at once! (☀️/🌕)

Still playing with weather simulation & biome distribution. Seems that lower viscosity values make the steady state closer to dynamic simulation, but even lower values don't produce a steady state. Anyway, looks good enough imo

I received a game (yes, a game, you read right!) as a gift for my second stream anniversary, and it is as glorious as you can imagine! I absolutely loved it and will gush about it until the end of time (sorry, not sorry)!
Again, huge thanks to @kagodev.newgrounds.com for doing this. You mad lad! 😊💚

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.
If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

I was just going through the Steam Awards (which I just realized ends in a few hours BTW!) and I just want to say:
The fact The Rogue Prince of Persia cannot be nominated for Best Soundtrack Award is a crime.
I cannot convey to you how disappointed I was when I didn't see it there. It's AMAZING!
