After a successful Steam Page launch, I'm currently working on the next big milestone: the user interface. After that I can work towards an alpha demo. So hopefully I can get a lot done in the second half of the year! Thanks again for all the support ❤️ #gamedev #indiegame

The job system is going to be a big part of my upcoming colony builder. Different unit types will each have their own specialized jobs. For example: - The artisan will forge iron - The farmer will tend to the crops - The worker will haul supplies #gamedev #indiegame

Check this little timelapse of the first building stages of a new colony. Your miners will dig out a room, lay floors and reinforce the walls, ready for a new chamber to be build. #gamedev #indiegame

A big part of the underground base building game I'm working on will be customisation and decoration of the rooms you build. You can easely adapt the walls, floors and some of the furniture to your liking. #gamedev #indiegame

Tons of content is added to the underground base builder I'm working on, and right now a lot of progress is made on the announcement trailer and Steam page. So hopefully I can share it here very soon 😃 #gamedev #indiegame

🪵🔥 The charcoal pile is used to turn wood in to charcoal by your workers. This can be used by the artisan in the forge to smelt iron ore intro ignots. #gamedev #indiegame

It's long overdue, but I'm finally tackling one of the major points that is still open. Building the interface. Not the most fun, but of major importance. #gamedev #indiegame

Concept art of the first tier unit in my upcoming base building game: the worker. Workers keep your colony running by performing the most basic, yet important tasks, like: ➡ Hauling supplies ➡ Stocking workshops ➡ Running the marketplace #conceptart #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

While digging there is a change to stumble upon tombs or ruins of ancient civilisations. 🔍 You can make your units explore them to find out what lies inside. #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

If your units encounter natural obstructions like ponds, they need to take the long way around. 🛠️ Fortunately, it is now possible to build bridges! #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Working on environments and caves. When expanding your colony you can stumble on natural caves. You can integrate them in your colony, or build around them. Caves will also be a great place for your units to forage or catch fish. #gamedev #indiegame

Some early footage of setting op de fundaments of a new colony. Dig rooms, build and decorate chambers and set your units to work. Please note this is pre-alpha footage, so missing animations, the UI and additional polish are coming soon. 🛠️ #gamedev #indiegame #colonysim

The farmer is no longer idle and hard at work with watering and harvesting crops for the colony. 🥕🌽 #gamedev #indiegame #colonysim

Here is the first draft of a new unit tier. The worker 📦 After some testing it became clear a new unit type for the most basic jobs was necessary. Like hauling supplies, stockpiling rooms and running the market. #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Here are some miners, digging out new rooms for the colony. ⛏️ Working on the digging animations, they will be added next. #gamedev #indiegame #colonysim

Dump in a bunch of units and see how the job system handles it. I did a small stress test of the job system and it holds up pretty well, but I did found room for some improvement 💡 #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

You can’t test early enough, so I brought in the heavyweights for some early pre-alpha testing. 🪲 #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

All units pick a job appropriate for their tier. For example: ➡️ An artisan smelts iron ore to ingots. ➡️ Miners dig out and build new rooms. ➡️ And the farmer... doesn’t have a job yet, so hangs out in the dormitory all day 😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Concept art of the third tier unit in my upcoming base building game: the artisan. He likes to keep busy with all kind of crafting jobs inside the colony, like: ➡ Processing resources ➡ Carpentering ➡ Smithing #conceptart #gamedev #indiegame

Entering the end of the year, I got a lot of the systems done for my underground colony builder 🎉 Next year the focus is on content; more units, room types, and a lot of stuff to explore. And finally a Steam page of course. Hopefully see you then🎆 #gamedev #indiegame

Some early interface design concepts for my upcoming game. I aim to deliver a good quality on both the visual aspect as the user experience, since I'm also a designer by trade. I only just started. A lot can change, and I still need to figure out how to get it in engine 😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Fosoria ⛏ @fosoria.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Your miners will now dig the chambers, lay floors and reinforce the walls, ready for you to build new rooms. Still in need for some visual polish, but the logic for are the construction jobs is ready 😊 #gamedev #indiegame

Currently finetuning the job system. With multiple jobs available, a unit needs to pick the most logical job. The player can influence this by setting the priority of a job type higher or lower. I’m using a utility system to achieve this, which works great. #gamedev #indiegame

Due to a happy little accident I spawned way to much supplycrates. 📦📦📦 A great oppurtunity for some thorough testing of the hauling system I guess. 😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Starting supplies need to be brought to the stockroom before they can be used. Here are some units working on it right now 📦📦📦 #gamedev #indiegame

The core of the unit utility AI for my base builder game is finished 🥳 Next is the stockroom, since this is a vital part of most jobs that units can take. Here units store resources and get supplies when they need them. 📦 #game #gamedev #indiegame

I’m back working on the Unit utility AI after I had to spend some time on client work. Also the first concept art is coming in soon, so hopefully I can share some more in the coming weeks. #gamedev #IndieGameDev
