5 months after the jam that brought SCOPECREEP to life, I'm proud to say the Steam Page as now launched! If you like incremental games, make sure to wishlist it!

Also, it would mean the world to me if you spread the word!

⭐️2nd Update⭐️

I love being way too optimistic about how long tasks will take me 😂

Anyway… 3D? 👀

#gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

⭐️1st update after starting new job⭐️

Since last time:
🛠️ updated systems
🐞 bug fixes
🖌️ FINALLY worked on UI!

There's still a lot to do, but the core of the game is here!
I think the first playable version of this should be up Soon™ 😁

#gamedev #indiedev #madewithUnity

That's amazing! 🥳🥳

What's the name of the game again? 😉

⭐️Day 13–14⭐️

Added Workshop and weapon tiers (wood -> stone -> iron).

It’s been 2 weeks, and the core mechanics are done 🥳
Next up: VISUALS! 🎨

(Also started my new job, so updates will be slower now)

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 12⭐️

Worked on the duck fight logic

Here’s the full game loop:
☀️ Day – assign jobs, collect resources, build & prepare for the night
🌙 Night – defend the colony from enemies and invaders
📜 Daily Report – see how resources changed, enemies defeated, and any loss

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 10–11⭐️

Added enemy waves 🌊
And finished the game loop➰

Still need lots of behavior tweaking for ducks and enemies, bug fixes, etc.

Next week plans:
⚔️ Weapons system
🖌️ UI + visuals

#gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

Code Monkey (@codemonkeyunity.bsky.social) has really good tutorials and free courses on both Unity and C#. At the end of the day, it's all practice. I've been working with Unity for ~5 years now

I'm using Unity 6 for this project (and C#)

⭐️Day 9⭐️

Added basic melee enemies ⚔️
Lots to tweak and fix, but it’s a start! #WIP

Who should be the enemy of the ducks? 🦆

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 8⭐️

Ducks now have night defense roles to guard the colony once the sun goes down

Also added a visual separation between day and night phases ☀️🌙

#gamedev #indiedev

AI Generated ducks

⭐️Day 7⭐️

Now that the RTS selection and unit movement are done! I can move onto the Night phase. What’s that?

Ducks will have 2 roles:
☀️ Day - gather resources & build tools
🌙 Night - defend the colony from invaders

#gamedev #indiedev

That's a good stretch goal!

⭐️Day 6⭐️

They move, they attack, they are ducks! 🦆

Continued working on unit selection & movement.
And added Health and Attacking bare bones systems

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 5⭐️

Unit selection & movement

Started working on the RTS portion of the game #WIP. It's janky, gonna finish it up today (hopefully)

#gamedev #indiedev

Is Everton part of that Lord of the Hobbits thing you constantly talking about?

⭐️Day 4⭐️

Added Population system

Spawning ducks now costs food and require capacity. Houses increase capacity.

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 3⭐️

Added ducks! 🦆

Worker count is now capped by the ducks available.
There are still a few edge cases in the job assignment system, but it’s almost done

Also, buildings now consume resources to build

#gamedev #indiedev

⭐️Day 2⭐️

Added a worker assignment system 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Buildings now need workers to produce resources, and output depends on how many are assigned

#gamedev

After 14 months, I’ve decided to stop being jobless. Starting a new job in 2 weeks.

Until then, I’m cooking up a new idea and aiming for a playable MVP/alpha before then. And why not document the process?

So, here’s Day 1 of work

Fine, you can jump out of the window if you want to... 🙄

For my next game, I'm aiming to give players as much freedom and intractability within the tiny map as I can

#WIP

It looks great!

After 14 months of development, I am proud to share with you that my game is finally released on Steam! Go solve puzzles, have headache and enjoy the final product!

I do not ask often, but please share this!
