Our Freedom isn’t just a colony sim; it’s a game that blends genres, and it includes survival elements as well. Why is this necessary? First and foremost, to give the player a constant sense of “I built this all by myself.” You’ve definitely felt something like this when playing sandbox games and constructing massive structures. The feeling that you’ve built something grand, block by block, triggers a rush of dopamine.
In Our Freedom, this is felt in terms of “I gathered stones with my own hands, turned them into a pickaxe, used it to gather iron, turned that into swords for my soldiers, led them into battle, and together we created our own kingdom.”
Essentially, this is progression through mechanics, but for me, it’s also progression through genres: from survival to RPG, from RPG to colony sim.
Don’t mind the fact that I started making the game from the end, and now I’m literally working on the first few minutes of open-world gameplay 😅

Lots of small updates today 👌
• All tools, armor, and weapons now have durability. It gradually decreases as the item is used. An item’s total durability is determined by its material: stone tools wear out fairly quickly, while iron ones last longer.
• These same items now have quality. Armor quality affects how much damage it absorbs. Weapon quality affects the amount of damage dealt, and tool quality affects their effectiveness. To improve the quality of the items you create, you must first use the anvil accurately, second, level up your Crafting skill, and third, have a little bit of luck. Sometimes, even with a low level and accuracy, you can create an item of “Good” quality. For “Excellent” quality, all the stars have to align 😁
• Also, items that the player selects for their inventory are now displayed at the bottom of the quick access panel

Gradually incorporating an old mechanic into the gameplay loop — blacksmithing 🛠
Previously, this was just an episodic mechanic dedicated to crafting your first sword. Essentially, it showed the player in the prologue that the game also features interactive minigames and crafting.
Now, the player can place a forge, bellows, a water barrel, and an anvil in their settlement to melt down ore or ingots and pour them into molds.
I want to maintain a balance between tedium and depth, so I didn't add the process of pouring and refining ore in crucibles, like it’s done in Vintage Story, for example.
Instead, the player can either pour ore directly into a mold using the furnace or melt down ingots. The only difference here is speed: ore takes much longer to melt.

Fight Life solo developer:
It's been a long journey for me and it's a bit strange to realize that people are already playing the game.
I read reviews and continue to work on it whenever possible.
If you've already played it, I'd love to hear your thoughts
FightLife: Vanguard вже вийшла в Steam 🎮
Для мене це був довгий шлях і трохи дивно усвідомлювати, що люди вже грають і формують свою думку про гру.
Я читаю відгуки і по можливості продовжую працювати над нею.
Якщо вже грали — буду радий почути ваші думки
