The gamble is kind of the point. This is meant to be the goal for the win condition. The events will mostly be bad so the good events are more of a releaf + to incentivize players to interact with all the ruins. But since it's the player's choice when to interact, they can decide if they feel ready.

They sadly buy those to buy the IPs, they don't care about the company itself, even less about the people in it.

Reworked the end objective to be to explore ancient ruins that will eventually give the powercore, but also triggering events that can either good or bad, to shake the status quo. #indiegame #citybuilder

I'm working on having smaller, but more varied, events (other than the sandstorms) that will shake the status quo, specially in the late game. #indiegame #citybuilder

It might just be some simple pixelart, but at least it's my simple pixelart 🙂

The sandstorms are the main challenge of the game, they can be brutal, but the player has ways to fight back 💪

It has been my forever battle with this game to explain how this works haha. A lot of people suggested doing this to make it easier to understand visually and I think they were right!

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
Now that the playtest is behind me. I can work on more "game breaking" changes, like I completely redone how pausing the game works, added zoom in/out, worked on the settlers behavior and changed the "storm fog" so that it shows better how it's blocked from walls. #indiegame #citybuilder

"I always felt game development is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to do it". I really feel that. It's the real answer to any creative industry. It doesn't work if you are there because it's easy, because it's profitable. You do it cause you can't see yourself not doing it.

This is the inevitable end result, it's literally a plagiarism machine, making something out of things that already exists. How can you innovate using something that can only copy?

I didn't revoke the keys yet and your feedback is still very much welcomed 🙏 I just stopped giving more keys, so I can focus on making the rest of the game 😆

It's the end of this playtest for Storm Settlers! I got a lot of great feedback that will help me make a better game in the end. Thanks to everybody who's been part of it! Now it's time to use all that feedback to improve the game! #indiegame #citybuilder

Playtests for Storm Settlers are going well, it once again brought up my eternal UX battle to get people to understand the storm and how to protect from it. 😅 Added more icons, arrows on the side of the screen, directional destruction. Moar UX, always moar UX. #indiegame #citybuilder

For me it's people who volunteered, so I directly contact them for a translation pass. But yeah, the closer to the final product the better. I asked for a translation pass for my last playtest and even before starting the playtest, I had new text added that wasn't translated.

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
So far I worked with volunteers, which is cool (and not AI), but it does limit the numbers of languages (not every languages has a volunteer) but it also allowed me to have some translation for early builds. I'll probably need to pay for simplified Chinese tho.

Since I added 4 new resources in my game AND a mood system, there was just no more room in the UI. So it was time to end the procrastination and finally rework the UI 😤 #indiegame #citybuilder

I wanted "advanced food" so wheat made sense as not only can it wave in the wind, but having windmill that produce faster during storms made complete sense for the gameplay. Bread 👍 #indiegame #citybuilder

I spent a couple days giving some love to the water art. A lot more animation and texture on top moving with the wind, based on the next sandstorm (and moving faster during the storm) #pixelart #indiegame #citybuilder

I took part in a video from Indie Game Clinic about playtesting, which is a subject I feel strongly about 😤 Go watch it! It's good! (I'm not biased at all).

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Calm down, no riot please ! I'm still hard at work on Storm Settlers on my way for a playtest on ⭐April 20th⭐ I added a bunch of new mechanics such as a "mood" system influencing the settlers productivity and actions. Better treat them right or they'll let you know 😡 #indiegame #citybuilder

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
Thank you ! What's the point of being stronger if everybody else is also stronger ?

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
Still working on Storm Settlers. I added new types of caravans and balanced how they progress through the game. And I'm currently working on a "mood" system, to have settlers be angry / happy based on what's going on in the game. #indiegame #citybuilder

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
The ultimate goal of improving the water art was to make tile resources "run out" eventually. A problem in my game was that a lot of things were "infinite" making it very hard to balance. So now water patches eventually run out, with ofc a visual feedback! #indiegame #citybuilder

I like that you got some work done by making art about not getting work done.

New year, new features ! I added some new features to the explorer and I'm experimenting with tile degradation when buildings are exploiting them 🤔 #indiegame #citybuilder

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 31/12/2025
Yes ! This is Unreal 5.5. I do use components yes, but also a little bit of inheritance, but I try to keep stuff flexible to be able to tweak the balancing easily, the buildings are almost all the same class but with different functionalities. Same for the civilians.

"worth paying attention to" is a great way of wording it. Why should I pay attention to something you didn't care enough to make ?

New devlog! I ran some playtests a couple months ago for my survival citybuilder Storm Settlers and gave myself a milestone to tackle all that feedback. I talk about the recurring problems the playtesters were facing and how I (hopefully) fixed them! #indiegame #citybuilder youtu.be/xPKVxeUnGwI

I'll put back on my producer hat to determine everything that I'll need for a new playtest so I can announce when it will happens and aim for that date (milestones really helps me get things done 😤)

Rocky Mullet @rockymullet.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
Other than that I tackled more than 40 various feedback and it will leave the game in a much better state for me to tackle the new content.
