💻 Solo Game Dev - Making IdleSettlers

🧠 Thoughts my own
Haven't posted progress in a while as have been a bit sick and busy with work

Have an upgrade now though - LASERS!
Still a bit rough but a new turret type that does damage over time.

Begins a little weak but there's lots of room for upgrades, eventually becoming a powerhouse!

Revamped how to move the Nodes around. Now simply click and drag them which is MUCH smoother than before.

+ Background effect to give more distinction to the actual play area. Not 100% sold on the effect right now.

Now new bugs created that need fixing 😂

Slowly improving my secondary, Roguelite Tower Defense project Node.Home

Enemies now drop 'Bits' which are used to build more Nodes

Nodes, or your "turrets", can only be built and moved within the centre shape. Nodes can be rotated as needed & eventually upgraded

Have the opportunity of building something for a good cause and have almost exactly one year to do it in!

So I'll be splitting my efforts between this new project and IdleSettlers. Lots to learn but the timeilne and purpose will hopefully keep me motivated.

More updates to come!

Still working on some major code rework in IdleSettlers and still entirely placeholder art 😂

Also added the new River tile. This can be upgraded to provide either Fish or Clay resources. Alternatively can create a Water Mill which will convert Grain to Flour

Can now upgrade the tiles in my idle, settlement builder - IdleSettlers

Each tile type will have multiple upgrade options, providing additional & new resource options. Should you have completed the requirements to unlock them that is 😉

Still lots more to come

Trying to do a little each day on my tile-based, idle, settlement builder - IdleSettlers 🙏

- A selection border now indicates which tile is selected
- Added keyboard support to move the selection around
- Right-click & hold to move the camera around the map

It's not so easy to expand now! Tiles now have a cost to unlock, watch your resources!

You can always speed up to harvest more resources faster 😉

(Still LOTS of placeholders!)

The first stage of what I hope to be my first self-developed game; IdleSettlers

All visuals are completely placeholder (designed by me 😂) but the base functionality is there!

Still an absolute ton of work to do but hoping this can be an impressive "before" example 😉
