Launch Day!

Hello, Settlers! The starry skies have been a welcome change for the denizens of the void...

Well, it's released! The last 24-or-so hours have been a heck of a time.

Thanks to everyone for giving the game a try so far! It's surreal seeing something I've been working on in private actually be released to the masses. Seems like folks are really liking managing their lil' towns!

...provided they get over the hurdle of actually starting it so far, Hah. You probably already saw, but I released v1.1 to help out with getting new players started. Doesn't SEEM like a perfect solution yet...Feedback is always appreciated!

I'm going to keep improving the first moments of the game in the coming updates.

I don't want to just throw paragraphs of tutorial text at players; that feels pretty tedious to read as a first impression.

Tangentially, we have a Discord server! If you like the game, or are looking for advice on your playthrough, you can check it out here: https://discord.com/invite/kH39T4PaS5


Beyond just making tutorials better, my first priority for a content update is adding a Wardrobe for your avatar.

That way, you can save outfits and swap them out whenever you want! It's been VERY highly requested.

Again, thanks for playing Settlemoon! I hope your time with it has been nice n' cozy so far. Seeing people play my little passion project for the last year and a half is really what makes this whole indie gamedev thing worth it. <3
