Crumble of Civilizations

A spooky mist-filled forest full of standing and fallen dead trees. All stripped of bark. Holes of dirt have been created in the grassy floor.

Ok maybe you shouldn't settle here...

Depending on what you do, you might unlock different buildings and rewards. Going all-in on sheep might just earn you this really large and fancy wooden sheep statue!

A wild boar searching for food 🐗
Each animal in the game has its own behaviours which you can learn and use to your advantage. Boars, for instance, often create dirt piles when they forage. You can use this to ensure you always have enough dirt to create roads.

That's what it felt like for sure! You can find some cool secret tech from these ruins too if you have the right type of researcher so it checks out ^^

A pixel art scene with a small circle of stones consisting of 6 manhirs is surrounded by ruined buildings amidst a forest that's currently in the transition of summer to fall with half the leaves having turned yellow and orange while the other half is still green. The scene features one deer looking towards the center, as if planning to visit the altar itself.

My world spawned me next to this structure and I thought it looked cool (this is randomly generated!)

An oak forest scene with a single yew tree. Within it, a researcher is inspecting a circular altar table closely whilst in the shade of a massive yew tree. Some light passes through the pixel art leaves and shines on the stones, making it easier to see for the researcher. Around the tree two rings are formed of large menhirs. One close ring right around the edge of the leaves, and one reaching exactly to the length of the shade of the tree. Ruined buildings fill in the gaps between the menhirs and the floor is covered with mushrooms, daffodils, fallen leaves, and rocks. A red fox is sneaking around in the top-right corner of the image.

Will your researchers find the secrets of this world? 🔎

A yew tree about 5 times the size of the cart is shown in a field. It's branches and leaves reach everywhere.

The new yew tree is... appropriately large 🌲

A brown tiled underground with a colour matching that of pine needles. The landscape contains small pine trees dotted around among some longer fallen trees. A few rocks are scattered around with a wild boar walking next to one. Some pink coloured flowers grow on the ground.

I don't think we've shown this sub biome yet!
Inside you can find:
🐜Ants
🐗Wild boars
🌲Pine trees
🍂Lots of fallen needles & trees

A pair of sheep stand among the roses in the middle of an early game town. The female sheep is followed by 2 babies.

My sheep just got babies!

Four stone pillars stand visibly among the river birch trees. A fifth is hidden behind a small tree and a sixth can be seen broken on the ground. They make a large circle in the middle of which a small stone altar can be seen. The ground is covered in grass, ivy, wild wheat, mushrooms, fallen leaves, and some stones. Some grasshoppers can be seen at the top-right pillar.

Each Circle of Stones looks different. You can use these to discover various magical recipes and units~

A circle of large menhirs is surrounding an altar table made out of stone. The circle is in a dire state. leeks grow in the surrounding ground and dirt patches are visible - breaking the grass. The top and left-most menhirs have fallen over and are broken at the base. A pool of water surrounds one of the standing menhirs.

We've added schematics to the world generation :D
The first one? A reworked circle of stones! You can use those to grow magical yew trees or discover how to train druids

For those curious about the amount of resources in the game!

ah sorry for the wall of text! I always get exited when people ask us ^^
Also, to clarify because it might be read the wrong way: I meant that there are 501 UNIQUE resources right now. Each of those unique resources can have multiple states. So a sheep, for instance, counts as 1 entry.

until the foxes came... :c
(This is a hint to invest in proper fences early so you don't end up like me lol)

and are forced to release them in the field within a certain distance :)

Strategically taking care of your environment is a big part of the game. In my most recent session I actually managed to trap some pheasants and kept them safe, resulting in a lot of nests and eggs everywhere ^^'

.. slowly eat all your crops over time!
3: "Plagues" which happens when your mice are eating your entire field without any predators. If resources get too happy (this includes things like trees :P ) they might spawn predators! So in this case it might be that you'll be given free owls from the game

1: You release the birb! In which case it gains a bonus based on what it likes and dislikes and ALL surrounding resources do the same. Placing too many mice in a field will result in your field being eaten!
2: The animals do something themselves: Leave mice in your field for enough time and they'll.

There haven't been a lot of posts recently because I've (Merlijn) been working on adding functionality to all our animals. Each of them has it's own movement, preferences, and "plague" rules. This means each animal/resource can influence the world in 3 ways:

Yes it is!
It's a bit hard to track them but our resource folder currently has 501 entries (resources can have more than one image/version) but that also includes things like trees, rocks, grasses etc.
52 of those are birds!

A duck sits on top of a log in the middle of a river. Around them, a few coots are swimming.

A small tent and a wooden hut stand on the edge of the cloud wall. From among the clouds oak trees emerge, showing their green and orange leaves. The art style is pixel art. Both buildings have a red outline around them and a yellow collect icon above them.

More fall coloured trees in the small village I was testing with!
I really like the combination of greens and oranges

A Harbour seal cow (that's a female seal) is sitting on the water edge on some rocky grass tiles.

Ehm, yes, we have seals now 🦭🦭🦭

A picture full of reeds with only a vaguely bird-resembling shape hidden behind them

You're so right. This picture would've probably been more accurate 😂

A great bittern is sitting on a lot in a shallow river. A large fish is swimming below him and there are some cattails to the left of the log.

🪶Great Bitterns have entered the game!

- the S of course. Typosss noooo!

I really like the shape and manes of the unicorn!

Some of the river birch trees in this river birch forest have started turning yellow. Around them are puddles of water and some fog flying around.

It's raining!
You can quickly place down some buildings and collect the water before the rain stops

4 Wrens. Three sit around a fallen log while one sits on top of a branch.

Better Wrens! 🪶
