I was gone on vacation for a while but it's time to get back to posting progress! Units now gain experience in combat and can level up. I'm thinking of keeping the upgrades automatic for now, picking an option for every unit sounds like it would take up too much time for players

Testing out some new sprites for the terrain, I wonder if this style fits 🤔 I think I like the grass and dirt more this way, the water still needs work.

Units now have a list of passive abilities. I just need to find room for displaying their experience level because that's the next thing we're going to add 😅
Is there any other crucial information that I'm missing? 🤔

I have been updating the tech tree. Now there are a lot more techs available and it's not all displayed on one page. I should probably make the window smaller in that case 🤔

Desu Vult is an old school turn-based strategy game where you build up an army and use powerful spells to defeat enemies ranging from random penguins to religious fanatics.

Made some new sprites for a lot of the resources on the map! They are still not final but it's better than using random pictures out of google search 😅

Haven't posted any updates recently, I'm still mostly working on boring UI stuff (my favorite). Here's a notification for new turns. Hoping to show off some new sprites soon!

Roads now properly connect to each other! And the info under every city is a bit clearer and now matches the player color.

I'm experimenting with more buildable structures for the engineer such as walls

I want to add some neutral units/buildings for players to interact with. For now it's the UN Bases which will spawn over time.

Experimenting with where to display passive unit skills. I put them on the right side of the menu as smaller buttons for now but they don't have icons yet. That is probably where the current buffs/debuffs will also go to.

Still working on some UI improvements, a few more new icons and a new End Turn button. I also added snow on the top of the map! ❄️

I put some icons instead of the text at the top menu, looks a bit better now. Will have to add some hover text to them next.

Early draft for the main menu.
I'll just put something together so I don't have to worry about UI for a while and can do something more pleasant 😅

I was picking a new font today for the descriptions. I ended up liking this one: RobotoCondensed
It has a slightly sci-fi theme but is still easy to read

Right now there is no limit to how many of a building you can have. So for example you can only build science buildings and get a ton of science. I wonder if this is really more fun than having 1 of each though 🤔

Added some more new buildings! They are getting a bit too many, maybe I should think about adding separate tabs for different building types? 🤔

Right now capturing cities happens instantly but there are a few turns of revolt where you can't use the new city. I plan to add walls and maybe more options on what to do with conquered cities.
