Look at this lazy bastard! He thought he could hide from me and avoid working, haha. No

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Right now you can reach max village stage in around 40min of gameplay. The balance is not yet great, but I can already catch the flow state

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Am I the only one who feels that making a game is a lot like that antibiotics in a petri dish experiment? You dig and try mechanics, hit a wall for a while and then suddenly discover a small breakthrough that opens up a lot of new possibilities

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

I'm not fully satisfied with actions mechanics in my game and I was thinking how to improve them. And.. I think I found smth really interesting. I'll probably finish balancing the game in its current state to share it with people and get feedback. But then I will try new idea

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

After rebalancing everything, first games felt very rough. Although it slowly shapes into smth interesting

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@atlasfrommars @JeroenBreevoort Thank you. Turned them off, yes

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Just a couple of points left on my board before I can focus on playing the game and setting up balance. The goal is to polish 30 minutes of gameplay enough to share with a closed circle of people

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

I wonder if @StrayFawnStudio would like to check the game in an early state soon? 😁

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@i_am_feenster Then you can feed it to the tile editor and validate if you have any tile variant missing

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@i_am_feenster Well, I prefer not to see auto generated ones :) They are just hidden in the engine.

But it's nice to have some .txt file that is filled from user inputs during gameplay.

E.g. in my case just corner types: 01100120, where 1 is regular house corner and 2 is corner with a door

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@heynico_mp4 I'd say the closest point of reference here is Anno games: similar production chains, trading routes. I just don't know the scope of the game yet. Have some ideas about worker actions to explore in the future: conditions, modifications, etc.

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Hey! I'm making a City Builder game where you set up production using worker actions. You'll need to choose the right actions to achieve optimal stats and improve performance of your buildings

[Jonathan Blow @Jonathan_Blow]

Something we've been working on...

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@CatBroDev Thank you. I'm making it in UE5

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

By the way, I've also started posting on our Discord server. Feel free to join if you'd like to see some insights: https://t.co/TVMYqWq8QA

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@retro66boy Well, I don't think I'll add extra people into that circle. The build will be rough and I don't want to break expectations for other people. Although, I hope it will change later this year. We'll see

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@JeroenBreevoort Thank you! I'm using UE5

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Once in a while I still notice generations that didn't happen to me before :)
