It's very good. For my taste it's a bit micro-managy and I'm not sure I like the tools to inform my micro-management. But the vibes and graphics are great, and honestly Banished was micro-managy was well, so perhaps it's inherent to the style, haha.

I think this is one of the few things that's very hard without finding a Photoshop alternative. I have a similar issue but with Affinity. It works somewhat to run it in Wine/Bottles but I won't say it's easy or convenient.

It was the hardest piece of software to get working for me (on Kubuntu)

Hahaha no worries, I appreciate the enthusiasm :D It really sounds lovely and unique, I'm looking forward to where the game will go! I'm playing Farthest Frontier currently and it sounds like they share some traits but with your game having 100x more focus on nature, so I'm very interested.

It's a teal/wintertaling right? How many animal species are in the game at this point? 😅 Just saw your great bittern post too, I love the pixel art representations!

Woah! This is all with watercolour pencil? It's beautiful!

Ja, Jip is erg goed!

Fuck. I go there for weekly groceries but might change if they do it here too.

Wow, I can't fathom this is made for anything functional, and isn't just an interesting looking spaceship dial! The fact that they have actual functions makes them even cooler

Let's gooo!!

It's waiting in my library! I recently finished The Roottrees Are Dead and that's my favourite game I played this year, so this is high praise!

Happy to see you signal boosting this incredible magazine!

Oh! Yeah, I really enjoyed the first cases of the 1700s one. I just felt that it didn't scale well to bigger/longer cases. Did you have the same experience, or did you play a smaller case?

Very on brand!

Goede keuze (als dat je keuze is) 👀

Ah, you reached the goal! Congrats!

It looks so wonderful. I can only think of the Youbue video (the best thing about Hero Quest) but I'm legitimately curious about the game, I've never played.

Bonus points for the cool Dutch version of course!

Congrats! I had a lot of fun with the demo last week, looking forward to the full version.

I love those! There's also something called rustpunt (stylised as RUST.) which is a special sign/designation for cyclists for stands where you can self tap coffee and lemonade and such. But it might be a northern thing

That's dark and sadly plausible (but also I think it's similar to greenwashing and they have to act like they care)
