Sometimes the smallest changes make major impact. I changed a few things on the visuals like smoothing out movement and manipulating tiles to make it look like wheat was waving in the wind... dont forget to follow my campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Why would i create this kind of game? I feel that this kind of game is missing these days.. Survival games are abundant and so are city builders but the genre of suvival colony sim games... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame Visit the project on #Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

The state of the project... Even though i havent started the campaign on Kicksterter yet the game is already in a playable state and therefore not just an idea but a promise... Give it a try! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame Visit the project on #Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

The flow of time.. Line by line, pixel by pixel a project goes on. Sometimes progress stalls but most of the time you keep going. At some point you see all the little pieces come together... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame Visit the project on #Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

So... why waiting for the #Kickstarter campaign to start? There is still work to do. While I am a fan of procedurally created terrains ins games it is quite a thing to do - especially if it should make sense rather than feel random... y2u.be/jkwKxFl3uc4 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
