A screenshot of our game, Amberspire, with no UI. A large city has expanded outwards from the central chasm and initial settlement, and now has a large number of residents in all directions. Larger buildings sit among the residential ones; these are dice, terrain, and market buildings, and will generate resources, manage weather tiles, and produce influence for the city, respectively.

A screenshot of our game, Amberspire. Resource dice have been rolled and are now being distributed among the city's buildings. Starlight has been provided to the Lighthouse's construction, and Quiver has been provided to the Ruster to help reduce intrusive terrain tiles. Canvas and Ritual are still yet to be assigned.

A screenshot of our game, Amberspire. Six dice have been collected from various buildings on the map - the Furnace, Gardens, Lighthouse, Clockworks, Crystallizer, and Centrifuge.

A screenshot of our game, Amberspire. It is the start of a new turn, but the player hasn't yet chosen their dice. The city is growing, but terrain tiles of Rust, Flood, and Fog are close by, and will need clearing before it can expand further.

A screenshot of our game, Amberspire. One of the factions, Dais, has arrived in the city. To the right is a portrait of one of their members. To the left, a description:

The city has drawn the attention of a new off-world faction...

Dais

Dais are a nomadic religious order in a fervent quest to maintain the corporeality of their god. Small cadres travel the galazy in search of artifacts, converts, and political assistance to maintain the inertia of their faith. It is rumoured that the Dais knights have supernatural abilities, but these are so rarely seen they cannot be resolved.

The Dais favor adds two dice storage spaces, and the penalty removes two dice storage spaces.

In Amberspire, you'll build a city on top of an enormous, abandoned mausoleum. So, naturally, we needed a historian's eye for the game's writing and worldbuilding. Here's how Holly used micro- and macro-history in Amberspire's narrative design: lunardivision.net/micro-and-macro-h…

A screenshot from upcoming city builder Amberspire. An isometric view of the city shows residential buildings clustered around a huge chasm, part of the mausoleum that they're living on top of.

"The factions and events represent the people, communities, and ideologies in the world, and they are weird!" As your city grows in Amberspire, your off-world neighbours will start to take notice of you. Factions will present themselves, events will occur, and things might get weird ⬇️

"The city has drawn the attention of a new off-world faction...

Lantern

Lantern are a small species of one-and-many organisms living in the cloud layers of Amber. Originating from small medusa living deep in the core layers, the larger pod species are now host to dozens or hundreds of human inhabitants. These former humans eventually become dependent on the host creature, but together have the ability to shape the planet and moon system to a large degree.

The Lantern favor gives one reroll on every event, and the penalty adds one instability die on every event."
