Working on a change to the way structure unlocks are handled. Now, there is a research system with branching options that unlock using influence. Been testing it and it feels pretty good! Here's a basic tree from the demo version.

Settler's Domain on Steam Settler's Domain is a settlement-building game with citizen and resource management elements. Build structures, recruit settlers, gather resources, and uncover your surroundings to expand your domain.

Just re-opened playtest sign-ups! I've got demo v0.2 about ready, and I wanna give it a few days in the playtest before pushing to the public demo.

If you're interested, request access on the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3396920/...

No, I don't have either, sorry! I try to just keep bluesky, even if I don't post much

The Settler's Domain Demo is out on Steam! It's meant to be a simple snapshot of the early game that can be completed in 30-60 minutes.

Pathfinding I've got a custom class that uses AStar (AStarGrid in Godot) in tandem with a flood fill implementation to keep track of what is reachable from where. It's certainly a tricky problem! Working well at the moment but I suspect I'll need to optimize more later

I always loved building/management games, and I really like the pixel style! So I started work and ended up having a great time creating it

Some footage from testing tonight! I want more videos of the game, but it needs a lot of visual touch ups before it's footage-ready. UI is coming along, but needs more work. Same with many of the visual indicators (white circles). Still, I like where it's headed!

I know right?? I love it! I hired an artist on Fiverr, which I know gets a bad rap, but I think they did an excellent job. I got a bunch of illustrations for my Steam page and was able to use one for the title page here as well.

Added some starting "animations" for a new world load!
Still needs some tweaking but I'm happy with the idea.

Bunch of work still to do, but it's starting to feel like a real game! Check out Settler's Domain on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3396920/...
