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! 📺

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️
Villagers now work on anything available instead of having a rigid, exclusive, job. Players can now mark spots to extract resources, plant crops, and drop off resource piles!

I actually went back to test it on 3DS devKit were I had to ditch thumbs all together (for save constraints as well though). Speaking of which, the 3DS version is still my personal favorite. Dual screen!!!

I finally have stable power! I'll be working on villager tasks and other small improvements to the game! Tasks are not updating immediately, and they should!

Update on the whole power problem: I got power again last night, but it went out again this morning. It's still not back, so I can't stream today either.
I'm so sorry everyone. I don't know when power is going to return and stabilise (hopefully soon), but I'll keep you posted.
Have a great day! 😊💚

Hey everyone!
There was a huge storm last night and I woke up this morning with no power. It hasn't come back yet, and I have no idea when it will happen.
As such, unfortunately I cannot stream today.
Hopefully this will be fixed ASAP and I'll be back tomorrow.
I hope you have a great day! 😊💚

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)
The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Chickens now lay eggs! By default they just drop these on the ground, but you can build some nests which they will use instead. The animation needs some tweaking though 😅

Hey everyone!
I was a little sick yesterday, but was still able to stream. However, I got worse last night and I'm not in a good condition to stream anymore.
I'm cancelling today's stream so I can rest and come back ASAP (hopefully tomorrow). I'll keep you posted, as always.
Have a great day! 😊💚
