Hi all,
we just published a small update. Sadly there isn't a lot of new stuff here. Most of it has been on Steam for a while. This is mostly merging the sound test branch into the main branch so from here on we can work on the sound implementation as part of the main game. The initial sound implementation was done by u/condac who created these sounds in his garage with his child. So if anyone is able to provide better sounds or knows a good resource for free sounds that fit the theme we would appreciate it.
If it isn't working for you for whatever reason please let us know.

This update revamps the inventory overview and adds a watched item list. You can add and remove watched items by clicking the checkboxes in the overview. I also added 24 new food items and recipes for the kitchen to give your gnome's diet more variance.
Some time ago I changed grain producing plants to no longer produce seeds and take the grain directly as the seed item. The reason was to reduce item clutter. Turned out it just confused people and it wasn't without other problems. This update reverts that. So when you start a new game make sure you bring wheat seeds with you, or the other types for that matter.
In the update which added the willow tree I accidentally messed up old save games. Sorry for that. So this update adds some mechanic to prevent that kind of error in the future (hopefully).
To clarify, you can see if you are effected by this save game corruption if you see materials embedded in walls that shouldn't be there, like wool or wood.
Please start a new game with this update.

Crashes suck. Bugs or missing features is something most of us can live with. Crashes just plain and simple suck the fun out of it. When you constantly have to fear losing progress it's not a nice gaming experience and makes people stop playing a game forever. Because of that crashes always have the highest priority.

I haven't really posted patch notes for a long time. The GUI replacement took place in an extra branch not visible for most people and shook up thing in such a big way that I didn't really bother keeping up with change notes. But of course change notes are a thing people look for and if there are none questions arise if the game continues being developed. So even though the GUI replacement isn't entirely finished regrettably I give it a version number now so the small things that are still missing and all the future changes can have proper change notes again.
### Fixed
- Isolated simulation thread from UI thread, so they don't share data.
UI components are now split into a UI controller living in t he UI thread and a data aggregation component living in the simulation thread.
Both parts are connected via the Qt message system, but are not allowed to access state owned by the other thread.
- Prevent errors in sprite mapping from cascading. The errors themselves are not resolved yet, but will no longer corrupt an entire save game.
- Always resolve all assets relative to the main executable.
### Added
- Added Noesis based UI, replacing the existing UI from scratch. (Work in progress.)
- Added "Hunting" behavior, in addition to legacy "defend" behavior.
Squads can actively seek out enemies all over the map as they become visible, without user involvement.
- Added Linux support.
### Changed
- Relicense code under [GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3](LICENSE) and publish as open source.
- Switch to CMake build system.
- Switch from C++11 with MSVC legacy extensions to pure C++17.
- Update Qt to 5.14.1.
- Refactored rendering.
- Cull empty tiles in vertex rather than fragment shader.
- Split opaque and transparent tiles into distinct render passes.
- Upload data to GPU via compute shader rahter than direct mapping.
- Render dark areas desaturated.
- Improve visibility of designations.
- Cull tiles down to minimal screen space size in order to minimize overdraw.
- Increase required OpenGL version to 4.3.
- Add depth buffer to rendering.
- Replace explicit squad target control by behavior settings for Squad.
- Move Uniform assignment from squad position to individual gnome.
Gnomes can now have a uniform without being assigned to a squad, but they still need a squad to control their combat behavior.
- Allow arbitrarily sized squads, up from only 5 slots.
- Speed up high level pathability tests.
- Speed up A* pathfinding.
- Speed up liquid simulation.
- Speed up spatial item lookup.
- Switch from file based SQLite DB to pure in-memory SQLite DB.
- Load SQLite DB from human readable SQL file instead of binary representation.
- Run as "native Windows 10 application" under Windows 10, rather than running in compatibility mode.
### Removed
- Removed old Qt based UI.
- Removed RapidJSON from JSON parsing and dependencies. Comments in JSON files are no longer supported.
- Removed Quazip from dependencies.
- Removed zLib from dependencies.

Hi all,
I just disabled all old versions and set the new UI as the default branch even though there might be some things still missing. Together with the open source release this is to ensure that we all are on the same version and all bug reports target this one version. Even though old games should load I suggest starting a new game.
Please report any bugs you find at https://github.com/rschurade/Ingnomia/issues

Hi all,
after a long though process and fight with myself, mostly dealing with "letting it go" issues I finally uploaded the code to this Github repository https://github.com/rschurade/Ingnomia The license is AGPLv3. The repository doesn't contain the sprite sheets, mostly for legal reasons. If you want to compile the code and run the game from it you have to copy the sprite sheets from your Steam installation or acquire them otherwise or create your own sprites.
Right now the page and wiki is pretty much empty. In the coming weeks I, or even better someone else, will post instructions on how to setup the prerequisites and compile the code. For now talk to me on Discord if you run into problems.
I hope together we can make this the DF-like or Gnomoria-like.
Does that mean you give up on it?
No not at all. It still remains my hobby project and I will keep creative control on what ends up on the Steam version more in a BDFL role.
I'm not a programmer what does this mean for me?
Nothing changes for you. I will still maintain the Steam version and publish regular updates to Steam. If anything you might see more updates and faster progress. Someone might even create a LInux version.
I'm not a programmer but I want to contribute, what can I do?
First of all playing, testing and reporting bugs is essential. The Github issue page https://github.com/rschurade/Ingnomia/issues is now the central place for that. Then there is the wiki which everyone can work on.
I'm a programmer but not fluent in C++, what can I do?
There are quite a few things that people with programming knowledge could work on. There is the database for definitions of about everything, behavior trees for AI and the xaml files for the UI.
I'm a programmer how do I contribute?
Like any open source project, see something you don't like, change it, submit a pull request. In the long run I envision this having a core group of programmers who have direct commit rights. If you want to work on a larger feature it is best to discuss it first with me and the community.
Haven't posted an update in a while so I want to let you know that this isn't dead and talk a bit about what is going on and what the plans for the near future are. The GUI replacement is still going on. It's going way slower than I want it to go and honestly the main reason for
Haven't posted an update in a while so I want to let you know that this isn't dead and talk a bit about what is going on and what the plans for the near future are.
The GUI replacement is still going on. It's going way slower than I want it to go and honestly the main reason for that is that isn't fun. If I learned something from this it's that you don't change the whole gui layer of a large software project. It sucks plain and simple.
The good news is that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'd say the only missing must have features as of now is military, trading, neighbors and profession creation but the normal basebuilding part is fully playable again. I just updated the ui_rewrite branch on Steam so you can see the direction this is going. That branch also has a few performance improvements and bug fixes. Please check it out and let me know what you think. ( the u and z key changes scaling, yes this will be a slider in the settings later)
Other than that I'm seriously entertaining the idea of going open source later this year. When the UI is back in a playable state I think we have a solid foundation for an open source project. More on this in a couple of months.
So as always thanks for your support and patience.
As the first commit to the git repository was made on March 25th 3 years ago it is the unofficial birthday of Ingnomia and as every year I want to talk about what's going on and what to expect in the near future. Right now the main topic is still and will be for quite a while the
As the first commit to the git repository was made on March 25th 3 years ago it is the unofficial birthday of Ingnomia and as every year I want to talk about what's going on and what to expect in the near future.
Right now the main topic is still and will be for quite a while the gui replacement which goes steadily but way slower than I want to. Mostly because I'm learning that stuff on the go and some outside distractions. As a freelance developer these are interesting times.
The main gui design is done by u/Elfusan
and I follow it more or less closely. The icons are done by u/lordhugh
Here's a video to show some of the new gui https://youtu.be/asLfjfBcI3c The main menu is just functional now and will get some pixel art background image and some better styling of course.
Other than that I got some programming help from discord user ext3h who already greatly improved rendering speed and some other parts of the game. So when this update finally is released there won't be just the new gui but quite a few performance improvements.
So even though there weren't any updates and most likely won't be for a while, rest assured work is still going on and it's shaping up nicely. There is a ui_rewrite branch on Steam were you can check out the new stuff and if you see any performance gains but be adviced the isn't really playable in that right now.
Thanks for your ongoing support, give a shout out to the guys mentioned here and stay safe.
As always I kept the previous version as a beta branch. So if this update does anything funky to your save game just opt into 0.7.4 This is the last bigger update for a while as I focus on replacing the UI right now as detailed in this post - fix bee hive now craftable at carpent

Hi all,
with 2 weeks left this year it's time to make another one of these posts. It's already over 2.5 years since I started this project and some of you are with me from the beginning. I'm thankful for that trust and even more for the support via Patreon for that. As someone recently wrote on Steam, it must have looked like another of these "ima maek gaem" posts back then but here we are.
So with the end of the year it's time to recap where we are and what the immediate plans for the next months are.
This started out as a rewrite of Gnomoria but not to the letter but with changes or improvements where it makes sense. Also take stuff from other mainstays of the genre where it makes sense. So I guess it's fair to take Gnomoria as a benchmark for the base feature set. Considering Gnomoria was in development at least twice the time of what I spent so far I'm pretty happy with what we got now.
**On the technical side:**
I guess I can say that Ingnomia is able to run larger maps with higher amounts of gnomes. I've seen colonies with 130 gnomes and tens of thousands of animals after a chickensplosion. That would slowed Gnomoria to a crawl. I noticed some slow downs with 50k and more items and lots of stockpiles, that's something i definitely need to keep an eye on. But overall I'm happy with performance.
On the UI side things look mixed. I got some improvements in, especially the dwarf therapist like profession window, previews in most building dialogs and some other stuff. However I must say I'm not too happy anymore with Qt as the window framework anymore. It's sub optimal for scaling and the full screen mode doesn't work properly. The problem is that replacing it will be a task of many months.
The addition of behavior trees added the ability to give animals, gnomes and monster different AI without having to hardcode it. That's something I definitely look forward to once modding picks up.
Modability is in and it should be easy to change styles, add stuff or change behaviors.
**On the content side:**
Here things look pretty good. Thanks to the work of u/lordhugh and u/pigtailsocks we already surpass Gnomoria a bit. Personally I really like the multi tile trees, they look so much better than the original one tile trees. We have a large number of plants where Gnomoria had just wheat, grapes, strawberries and cotton. We just need to find a use for them now. We have flowers for those who want to decorate more, more types of fences. There are many more animal types both for farming and in the wild. A few more workshops like fishery, windmill or even a waste cremation place.
In addition to the usual engineering stuff we have things to manage fluids like pumps and pipes. So constructing moats or watering soil is much easier than in Gnomoria.
There is now a mission system that allows you to send Gnomes outside of the map to interact with your friendly and not so friendly neighbors.
So I can say most of the base systems are in but many of them still need some finishing touches and balancing. Combat is the red headed step child and still needs the most work of it all.
**What's next**
For the next few week I don't plan anything big. Just bug fixes, balancing and adding small things here and there. I still have a big backlog of sprites from u/lordhugh Somehow he cranks them out faster than me adding stuff.
For next year the big things are sound and combat. Getting combat to a state where it's fun in a way that the enemies are clever and the player has the feeling that their actions and preparations matter.
Sound is an often asked for feature I probably can't ignore much longer.
So for Christmas presents I want you to send me bug reports with meaningful descriptions so I can remove all remaining quirks. If you are able create a reproduceable crash with good instructions how to trigger it you may get a gnome, goblin or slime named after you and a free ticket to Ingnomicon 2025.
Happy Holidays
