Now that the playtest is behind me. I can work on more "game breaking" changes, like I completely redone how pausing the game works, added zoom in/out, worked on the settlers behavior and changed the "storm fog" so that it shows better how it's blocked from walls. #indiegame #citybuilder

It's the end of this playtest for Storm Settlers! I got a lot of great feedback that will help me make a better game in the end. Thanks to everybody who's been part of it! Now it's time to use all that feedback to improve the game! #indiegame #citybuilder

Playtests for Storm Settlers are going well, it once again brought up my eternal UX battle to get people to understand the storm and how to protect from it. 😅 Added more icons, arrows on the side of the screen, directional destruction. Moar UX, always moar UX. #indiegame #citybuilder

The Steam Medieval Fest just started and... what we have over here ?? 👀🥳

Since I added 4 new resources in my game AND a mood system, there was just no more room in the UI. So it was time to end the procrastination and finally rework the UI 😤 #indiegame #citybuilder

My buddy Bagel has released his game's steam page. Go give him a wishlist!

I have released the steam page and trailer for my game that I am making! If you can, it would be really cool if you could wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/4298190/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfdt... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #art

I wanted "advanced food" so wheat made sense as not only can it wave in the wind, but having windmill that produce faster during storms made complete sense for the gameplay. Bread 👍 #indiegame #citybuilder

I spent a couple days giving some love to the water art. A lot more animation and texture on top moving with the wind, based on the next sandstorm (and moving faster during the storm) #pixelart #indiegame #citybuilder

I took part in a video from Indie Game Clinic about playtesting, which is a subject I feel strongly about 😤 Go watch it! It's good! (I'm not biased at all).

For anyone who’s interested in this stuff; here are a bajillion game devs discussing how they playtest games, and why they do it that way youtu.be/zXNRJuc48Ek

Calm down, no riot please ! I'm still hard at work on Storm Settlers on my way for a playtest on ⭐April 20th⭐ I added a bunch of new mechanics such as a "mood" system influencing the settlers productivity and actions. Better treat them right or they'll let you know 😡 #indiegame #citybuilder

Still working on Storm Settlers. I added new types of caravans and balanced how they progress through the game. And I'm currently working on a "mood" system, to have settlers be angry / happy based on what's going on in the game. #indiegame #citybuilder

The ultimate goal of improving the water art was to make tile resources "run out" eventually. A problem in my game was that a lot of things were "infinite" making it very hard to balance. So now water patches eventually run out, with ofc a visual feedback! #indiegame #citybuilder

I spent a couple days giving some love to the water art. A lot more animation and texture on top moving with the wind, based on the next sandstorm (and moving faster during the storm) #pixelart #indiegame #citybuilder

New year, new features ! I added some new features to the explorer and I'm experimenting with tile degradation when buildings are exploiting them 🤔 #indiegame #citybuilder

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

New devlog! I ran some playtests a couple months ago for my survival citybuilder Storm Settlers and gave myself a milestone to tackle all that feedback. I talk about the recurring problems the playtesters were facing and how I (hopefully) fixed them! #indiegame #citybuilder youtu.be/xPKVxeUnGwI

They exposed my Citybuilder's problems, so I fixed it ! Devlog

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 ! #indiegame #citybuilder

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. 🧵 #indiegame #citybuilder

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

My buddy the bagel man has released a huge update for the first year anniversary of his game's release. You should check it out !
