Master of Magic is easily one of my Top 10 favourite games, so I’m super excited to check this one out! Also, making a 4X game as a solo developer is an insane feat. Congratulations, Aleksandr, on shipping!

Suomi ei tarvitse RFK junioria, meillä on jo THL. Tosin tässä taitaa olla sen verran totuutta mukana kuitenkin, että nuo vanhan variantin rokotteet käsittääkseni toimivat edelleen hyvin.
The thirteenth Trucker 2056 demo update is now live on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3482200/... This final update brings a wave of UI & QoL tweaks, plus implements the new crafting mechanic, which will be unlocked in Early Access. With this update, the game is now officially feature-complete! 🎉

Was out last night doing some location scouting and photography for Trucker 2056. This scene didn’t quite make the cut for sci-fi dystopia, so I reworked it as fan art. Introducing: Gabriel Knight in The Coven of Tavastia. #pixelart #retrogames
Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #7: Ultima Underworld II. While I’ve already mentioned Warren Spector as an inspiration, I’m highlighting this game for its influence on Trucker’s mission design and dialogue. Here's an in-depth UW2 retrospective I highly recommend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCmn...
Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #6: Games by Warren Spector. While Sid Meier is the more direct influence, I’ve tried to channel some of the magic from my favourite Spector titles too. Highlighting Ultima VII here—its writing and world-building are still pretty much unsurpassed to this day.
All for bun and bun fur all!
Gentlefolk, I present to you the 0.1.5 version of Ultima VII Revisited.

Wow. Just wow. This is probably my favourite game of all time and it's truly wonderful to see people still playing and improving on it. Now, if we only could get fully finished Serpent Isle ...
😍 I did the initial sketching in OmniGraffle, then moved on to testing and optimization directly in-engine (Godot). That said, there’s still a lot to do to make the economy truly dynamic and balanced, and I might return to the drawing board now that the rest of the game’s in decent shape.
The Trucker 2056 demo is now live, featuring all the core gameplay components—inspired by classics from Sid Meier and MicroProse. Available for Win & macOS. Huge thanks to all the playtesters, and to decino (linktr.ee/decinoyt) for the MIDI soundtrack. #indiedev #godotengine #gamedev #retrogames
As someone working on a relatively niche game and new to (indie) game development, I’m genuinely interested—if you’re open to sharing.
I haven’t played it yet, but it does seem like a niche title for sure. That said, the reviews are excellent. What would you consider the upper limit for initial sales for a game like this? Or put differently, what would have counted as a success in your eyes?
Take care. I'm still working on my first game, but I can imagine how devastating that must feel. For what it’s worth, the game looks great—and now it’s sold one more. That said, if you're open to sharing, what do you think is the main reason it didn’t sell as well as you'd hoped?
Trucker 2056 demo is finally in the Steam review queue!
It’ll be downloadable soon—keep an eye on the store. The feature-complete demo offers approximately an hour of gameplay if you explore all its content, and will be available for both Windows and macOS.
I take it you're supposed to enter the archway, so the one on the right emphasizes that way better. Also, love the foreground!
