Hey everyone! Im excited to show off what i have been working on
Im excited to launch the game after have been working on it for the past 6 months. Some may say its too early to launch, but i feel the core gameplay loop is stable enough to launch. So here it is.
This patch has been focusing on adding improvements and a lot of fixes. Since the game released last week, there has been a lot of feedback i have been busy addressing.
What is new?
- Tech Tree:
- Now added a tech tree to create some progression in the game. Before you could just craft anything in the game, but to make it more interesting i added a tech tree, so now you have to progress throughout the game in order to unlock new items to craft and build.

Inventory
- Made the inventory UI larger and more readable aswell as merging it together with the player equipment UI. Worker inventory UI
- merged worker inventory UI together with their equipment UI to make it more compact
