Making my City Builder game set on an enchanting island.

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

Lands of Koastalia is a relaxing city building game with a unique building system. Craft natural-looking villages, manage resources within and across them, explore an island, and meet the needs of your residents.

@lisyarus How much time does it take to render? Based on samples count, I assume, it's not real-time right?

@clemmygames Oh god, I feel like we are turkeys from such videos: https://t.co/yFK0gWWnix

@clemmygames hey

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@m7l5dotdz The game has an irregular grid with curved lines + I have a very wide monitor and the camera is close to the ground. Not sure it that's what you are talking about though

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

The game feels so much better now. I know each tiny detail, each best action sequence for each building. But still, there are a lot of moments in the game when I catch flow trying to optimize delivery chain or understand where the bottleneck of production is

@MACAUEC It has nothing to do with LLMs or any other form of neural network. It's a common AI that is used in games for decades.

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

It's hard to explain, but sometimes I lose a lot of time in my game just looking at what villagers are doing - there is something relaxing in it. But also you can find a lot of useful info out of it: if the time was wasted, if resources were missing, etc

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@MACAUEC I have a job-task system for villagers, so they don't really live by their own, but just have cycles of rest/work/needs. I don't know yet, when the demo will be available. But I will definitely be screaming all over the internet when I will know :)

@call_me_indiana Thank you! It's not in github and no, I don't get any donations. The game will be released on Steam at some point

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@atlas_raven The game is still in development, but you can wishlist it on steam: https://t.co/8qYqMBljnS

Balance of the new system slowly is building up. One building after another. The first 30 minutes of the game feel better and better each day

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@IHateJeffLeach Thank you! It's still in active development, so we'll have to wait :)

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

In my city builder game you control production through worker actions. Actions can have different properties and features: duration, power, load or bonuses that affect other actions and workers.

Find the best combos, upgrade buildings and unlock new actions and bonuses.

@Elazur_HS You can't have irregular grid without having non-quad shapes. You can just bend regular grid, but it doesn't look as interesting as irregular one. It doesn't introduce any additional issues, all tiles are treated the same with the same general logic

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

In my city builder game you'll need to set up actions in production buildings, find their balance and combos. Level ups unlock new workers, actions and slots for boosters by your choice

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@Elazur_HS Yes :) There are triangle shaped cells as well :)

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@ElbowGG Thank you! That means a lot to me.

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@ZL1LAC Thank you. Yes, but I don't know yet, when

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

@nornsoir Thank you!

[Pavel Valakh | Lands of Koastalia 🐏 @ValakhP]

I finished working on the new actions system core. Also added some new stuff, like: characters staying in line to be served on market or characters leaving your island if they are not happy. Next step is to make new actions, play and balance them. UI is rough for new features
