After a lot of work AI can do basic things like collecting resources and bringing them to the storage until character become tired. Then it will take a break and return to work after a while. Building system still feels very satisfying

Testing a special character type that can influence neighbors and surrounding buildings. You'll need to find a better place for them to live so they can provide powerful bonuses by synergizing with other 'influencers.' However, each bonus has its own requirements

I was excited about Stream Deck for over a year, and finally decided to get it. I have a lot of debug commands in the game and this device should help me working with them. Already have a setup for trailer camera controls: add/change points, change speed on the fly, etc.

Yesterday I added this small animations for tiles that change in reaction to environment changes, like adding or removing doors depending on roads around the plot. Basically I'm using BBox of changes that is fed into the shader to mask the animation inside that area

I'm working on a better control over generation. I was using point types to mark where doors should be, but that solution has massive drawbacks. So I moved to using Flags for tiles and cells. It's better now, but still, there are a lot of limitations. #screenshotsaturday

I returned to the idea of having regions in the game. It is tied well with ideas about having 'influential' characters that give bonuses to those regions and might indirectly affect how you plan your regions/villages/towns #indiegames

Until this moment, it was pretty confusing to determine what you've selected when the area is hovered by trees or other geometry. I decided to take a few hours and play with different ways of masking it. It's not final, especially the pattern, but in general it's much better now

I'm exploring how buildings can be placed. I'd like a player to 'draw' houses/fence/field separately inside selected area for custom designs. But at the same time I feel that it might become boring and repetitive after a while. So.. maybe semi-automated approach?
