🚨Release Date Update🚨 Settler's Domain is now releasing on August 21! I realized that the 25th is opening night for gamescom, so it's probably not the best day to release. But hey, now you get the game 4 days earlier!! Woohoo! #indiegame #releasedate

SO COOL!! The music for Settler's Domain is complete, and I love it. All tracks are by Tim Beek, who did a phenomenal job. I made a cozy video for the OST that you can play in the background while doing other stuff too (: #gamedev #indiegame youtu.be/9FqWXPbx2mk?...

I already love this so much!! From someone's suggestion (I forget who it was I'm sorry!!), I added desire paths! If a tile is walked over enough times in a day, a path will spawn. This leads to very organic looking paths that are also heavily used! #gamedev #indiegame #citybuilder

The Apothecary! Settlers who live nearby have their 💚Immunity increased, which makes them require less 🌿Medicine. I'm developing a strategy settlement-building game with over 70 structures! I'm previewing some of my favorites. #gamedev #pixelart

The humble House! Obviously provides a place for settlers to live, but this is also the first housing structure that is large enough for settlers to have a child in! My strategy settlement building game has over 70 structures! I'm previewing some of my favorites. #indiegame #gamedev

Working on a change to the way structure unlocks are handled. Now, there is a research system with branching options that unlock using influence. Been testing it and it feels pretty good! Here's a basic tree from the demo version. #indiegames #citybuilder #colonysim #gamedev #pixelart

Some footage from testing tonight! I want more videos of the game, but it needs a lot of visual touch ups before it's footage-ready. UI is coming along, but needs more work. Same with many of the visual indicators (white circles). Still, I like where it's headed! #GameDev #IndieGame #CityBuilder
