Took me 4 playtesters videos and more than a year to realize the random name generation of the 3 first settlers do not work 😆

Ok I'm done with the mini milestone I gave myself to adress the feedback from the last playtest that still needed to be adressed. While the game content didn't change much, the things that were already there improved a lot !

#indiegame #citybuilder

A recurring problem in every playtest was that players wouldn't understand how the storm would spread the sand.

So I made "fake storms", that are just gust of winds, that would show a bit of sand spilling onto the tiles or blocked by walls.

It also adds to the ambience !

Little update on what's going on with Storm Settlers.

After releasing the steam page, I put on my producer hat and made a big planif, noting every single tasks needed to reach the final release and giving them a time evaluation.

One of the most requested feature of my last playtest was to be able to place walls by simply dragging like you would roads.

To add diversity to the settlers, I made them a different outfit based on their current job.

Can you guess what's each of their jobs ?

#indiegame #citybuilder

For variety and extra feedback, I created a special idle animation for the civilians for the different jobs they can have.

The city looks a lot more alive !

I'm done with my planned gameplay changes en route toward a playtest on April 7th !

I just need a bit of polish, tweaks and bug fixes and I'll be happy to hear everybody's feedback !

#indiegame #citybuilder

This might sound late for a citybuilder 😂
but my game finally has roads !

This will help to have more thoughtful placement of buildings to have more strategy and player driven choices.

I added caravans into my citybuilder. They are a group of either new people wanting to join you city and/or merchants passing by to offer some trade deals.

My steam page is ready with a trailer and all. 😤

I just need to get some red tape sorted out before I can make it public.

#indiegame #citybuilder

Could be cool to see a Sulfur take on my little blue civilians.
(who I repeat are NOT birds 😅 but desert people in a robe with a scarf)

I commissioned @artmanoil.bsky.social for keyart and a logo for my game and I'm super happy of the result.

Getting out of my cave with a devlog about the recent 2 waves of playtests on my citybuilder !

Thanks again to everyone who's been part of it and gave me great feedback 🙏

#indiegame #citybuilder #devlog

I'm done with my first playtests. A lot of cool feedback, iterations and more, always more, UX improvements 😆

Thanks to everybody who helped me with their feedback.

I think it's time to undust the devlogs 😅

Cute little game I made for the Indirect Control Jam with my teamates goblinknuckles and simoncress.

Expect a devlog about !

Some more

So this profile is not completely empty XD. I generally post gifs and videos, so in the meantime, I'll post a couple of screenshots of my games 😌
