    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Characters finally have clothes and hair! Only one option for each for now but others will come in time!

    Also new fence and resource pile art!

    A character moves around a fenced warehouse filled with different types of goods, while another nearby is cutting a tree with an axe. ▶

    Hello BlueSky! I'm Joana, a 🇵🇹 #gamedev!

    I'm currently developing a Colony Sim + RPG game! Think RimWorld meets Fire Emblem! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    In "Salve, Viriathe!" you play as the Lusitanians as they resist Rome's annexation of Iberia.

    I stream its development every Tue-Fri on www.twitch.tv/sorcerystory! 📺

    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Settlements no longer exist in a vacuum! If you build or fight next to one, you will see the structures affect the world (and world map!) directly! 🗺️

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    The player visits their settlement and orders the construction of buildings around the starting area. As new buildings get placed, the world map changes to signal the expansion of the settlement. A combat is then triggered near the settlement, and you can see its buildings on the edge of the battle area. ▶

    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Been focusing on animations lately! Created a rough mining animation, which also works surprisingly well as a makeshift planting animation! ⛏️

    #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    Several villagers are seen working in a grassy area. Some are planting crops aroud a farm building while another is mining natural stones strewn about. ▶

    I can finally do a #screenshotsaturday again!

    Villagers now go about their work!

    Gatherers can modify the world, like cutting trees, and will open up space for building sites. Builders will then deliver goods to them and start constructing!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

    A village in the middle of the forest, where characters are roughly animated with placeholder animations. A woodcutter cuts down trees and slowly opens up a bit of space around their work cabin. The night comes and characters stop working. In the morning, a building blueprint is placed nearby, and the woodcutter begins chopping trees to make space for the construction. When complete, the builder goes to the nearby warehouse, gathers up construction materials, and delivers them to the construction site. The building is slowly completed over the next few hours. ▶

    It's finally here! AVE VIRIATE's alpha public playtest is now live!

    AVE VIRIATE is a turn-based colony sim where you manage an Iron Age village! Help the community thrive by providing villagers food, shelter, and work! 🛖⚒️

    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Villagers can now work without the need for specific buildings, meaning villages can be erected from nothing! Needs work, but happy with the results! 🛖

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    In a grassy and forested field, several villagers wander about. Each gets assigned a job, such as woodcutter, builder, stone miner, etc. Over time, the builder gathers the wood left behind by the woodcutter and begins construction of a building. A night passes, and the building is completed the next morning. ▶

    Lots of tweaks and fixes this week! The most visually appealing was a simple shader I put together to recolor parts of characters like hair and clothes!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    4 characters with green dresses and different hair colors go around a grassy field and plant crops as time passes. ▶

    Been a while since I did a #screenshotsaturday huh?

    I've been hard at work improving AVE VIRIATE: a new production line allows villagers to pick acorns and turn them into bread! They now get hungry and tired, and try to eat and sleep to fulfill their needs as well!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

    Villagers go around a small grassy area, gathering resources and building furniture and other workstations. They gather acorns from around the map and use a milling stone to turn them into flour. They then use that flour to bake acorn bread. Ocasionally they will go for a nearby bread pile to eat some, or to a nearby straw bed to sleep in it. ▶

    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Buildings now have actual, usable interiors! They can have multiple levels too (though only for decoration)!

    Can't wait to do the final art for them!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    Two buildings can be seen in a meadow. A character is seen moving and going inside one of them. The buildings are then "cut" level by level and can be seen inside of. The cut also reveals the back of the building, where two characters can be seen going about and performing activities. The character seen going inside the building is now visible. They perform an action and leave the building, going about their business offscreen. ▶

    This week I pixelled more housing items, stone walls, and grass+dirt tiles!

    Still a lot of stuff to replace and tweak, but I'm getting there!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

    A stone house in a grassy forest. A cutout of a stone house with its inside visible. Several items are inside, such as straw beds, ceramic pots, stools, cooking pots, wicker baskets, and looms.

    You can now build wooden structures! Areas can now become gathering, sowing, or resource drop spots too! Plus a lot of small fixes and tweaks everywhere!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    A small village slowly gets built over time in a verdant forested area. As this happens, the villagers also go about and plant crops, cut trees and mine nearby stones. A small area is set up so that wheat may be ground to flour and then baked into bread. ▶

    Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

    Buildings are now comprised of blocks that the player can build freely! This makes management a little easier, and gives the player more agency when designing their village!

    #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

    The player uses different materials to create two homes of different sizes. One is done block by block, and the other as a pre-made blueprint that places all blocks at once. The villagers then build these blocks and the houses materialize over time. ▶
