Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Working on an update to the DeckTerra demo. Among other things, I'm adding - Quality of Life Improvements - Improved Performance - Fixed Graphical Bugs - and MOUNTED UNITS This is really helping the medieval feel of the game, every kingdom needs knights on horses. 021

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I just added a huge visual feature to my 4X deckbuilding game. The merchant will now sell themed booster packs.

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I just made a huge change to my 4X game Units will now revolt when you don't have enough command points.

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 30/06/2026In my 4X game, your cities will procedurally get larger as you level them up Players will be able to feel like their settlements are growing as their empire grows in size This is one of the most satisfying parts of 4x games, hoping players will appreciate the sense of scale 000

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Sometimes in game dev it's okay to steal ideas. I added this button on the side to hide the "choose card" popup in my 4X deck building game. Can anyone identify what game this is from? Bonus points if you can 1301
Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Here's a stupid bug in my 4X game. The fireball is flying around the world off screen to the right Can anyone guess why this is happening? 000
Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 17/06/2026My indie 4X game just became a lot more readable. - Added a spinning clock animation for turn passing - The button in the bottom-left now has text - More guidance for players on their next required action This is sure to give players more clarity about what their next focus is 100

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Two BIG changes to my indie 4X game: * Labour cards are now played on cities * Units are now moved with "move" cards, and attack using "attack" cards. This is a huge improvement to the game's feel, and will hopefully make sense to more players. #gamedev #indiegame 040

Murray Smith @murrdoggames.bsky.social · 16/09/2025I'm starting to feel like developing a turn-based game is about building a framework to edit your game in a text file 📄 I've got all of the rules for each of the buildings in my game in a scriptable object, which helps for iterating quickly and balancing ⚖️ 010
