Iterating on our graveyard system 🪦 We replaced the wooden fences with low stone walls and added dynamic flowers that bloom as graves are cared for. Thanks to your feedback, too! #gamedev #indiedev

Early showcase of our graveyard system ⚰️ Whether your settlers meet a noble end or a tragic one, they'll be buried here. Other settlers will visit and tend to their graves. Some may even return as ghosts or wandering spirits. #gamedev #indiedev

Beehives are in the game! 🐝 Your settlers will tend the bees and produce honey over time. Sell it for profit or use it further down the production chain to brew mead, which your settlers will happily consume. #gamedev #indiedev

Showcasing our dynamic farming system. Build farms of any size and divide them into crop plots however you like. We've also expanded the maximum farm size, giving you more freedom to create sprawling fields and mix crops like rye and lavender. #gamedev #indiedev

We're incredibly honored that @IGN featured Thveit on their main YouTube channel! ❤️ 🎥 (re) watch here: youtu.be/Q_81_QARJNA?... #gamedev #indiedev

Decorate your village and watch it transition into autumn. 🍂 Thveit features seamless seasonal transitions across spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Every season transforms the landscape and changes the atmosphere of your settlement. #gamedev #indiedev

Showcasing a slower, more organic early game. Most settlements begin the same way. Build a few homes, secure food and water, lay down your first roads, and slowly become familiar with the world around you - then expand. #gamedev #indiedev

If Norse folklore is what drew you to Thveit, you'll probably enjoy our latest devlog. We take a deeper look at Trolls, Spirits, Dragons, the Kraken, Landvættir, and how mythology becomes part of everyday life in our cozy city builder. 📖 www.thewintercats.com/blog/norse-f... #gamedev #indiedev

From the very beginning, we wanted Thveit to feel like a living world. 🍂 Cats roam the streets, settlers work, drink, and socialize, while livestock and wildlife bring the world to life around you. With the features we're currently working on, that vision is almost complete. #gamedev #indiedev

Sharing the Thveit Announcement Trailer here as well! 🍂 In case you missed it - you can wishlist Thveit, our cozy storybook Norse city builder, on Steam now! Thank you for all the incredible support since launch. ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev

🚨 Very important dev update 🌸 Lavender has arrived in our Norse city builder! Grow lush lavender fields to beautify your settlements, boost comfort, and trade with neighboring realms. #gamedev #indiedev

Build a secluded village in our Norse city builder 🌳 Our new birch trees add a softer, storybook feel to settlements, letting you shape cozy homesteads tucked away beneath their canopies. A tavern beneath a birch has never looked cozier. 🍺 #gamedev #indiedev

We finally added birches to our Norse city builder 🌳 They completely change the feel of a settlement, giving it a much more storybook atmosphere. You'll also be able to plant them as decorative trees to make your villages feel even more alive. Oh.. and say hello to our troll 👋 #gamedev #indiedev

Farming has never been this flexible in our Norse city builder 🌾 Shape your fields however you like. Build across rivers, split farms into separate plots, and mix different crops to create organic farmland that follows the landscape. #gamedev #indiedev

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here are a few cozy moments from our storybook Norse city builder, Thveit. Hope they brighten your weekend. 🌿 #gamedev #indiedev

Our sheep love rainbows in our Norse city builder 🐑 A quiet bridge, fresh herbs, grazing sheep, and a rainbow after the rain. These are just some of the little magical moments you'll encounter in Thveit. #gamedev #indiedev

You can build your settlement beneath rainbows in our cozy city builder 🌈 Rainbows appear naturally after the rain, lighting up your little Norse village. Sometimes, the smallest moments are what make a settlement truly feel like home. #gamedev #indiedev

Showcasing the stormy weather in our Norse city builder 🌧️ Autumn brings more than colorful golden tones. Rain, thunder, lightning strikes, drifting mist, and dense fog can transform the atmosphere of your settlement in an instant. #gamedev #indiedev

Autumn feels even cozier in our Norse city builder 🍂 We've refreshed the color grading across every season, giving each one a more distinct atmosphere. Autumn is now even more eye appealing and a true joy to build in. #gamedev #indiedev

We're adding verticality to our Norse city builder 🗻 We've been experimenting with elevated terrain and handcrafted mountain formations to create more varied landscapes and make each settlement feel more unique. #gamedev #indiedev

Besides farms and pastures, we've also added custom gardens for your herbalists 🌿 Grow berries, herbs, and mushrooms to help keep your settlement well supplied with food and medicinal resources. #gamedev #indiedev

Welcome Norse folklore to our city builder 🧙‍♂️🐉 From trolls and huldras to dragons, spirits, krakens, and more, Norse mythology actively shapes how your settlement grows and evolves. It's #ScreenshotSaturday - enjoy a few glimpses from the world of Thveit! #gamedev #indiedev

One last showcase of our core city-building features ⚒️ Beyond homes, decorations, and defenses, you'll also build sacred altars, statues of the Norse gods, and other Faith & Folklore structures to earn divine favor and shape the life of your settlement. #gamedev #indiedev
