This is the first in a series of monthly development updates where I’ll be sharing progress, visuals, and ongoing work to give you a clearer look at how the game is evolving over time.
Over the past weeks, the grass visuals have gone through a major overhaul, significantly improving both clarity and overall visual quality across the map. The terrain is now easier to read at a glance, with fertile land, desert, and developed areas clearly distinguishable while still feeling cohesive and natural. A lot of time has gone into tuning grass density, color variation, and transitions so the landscape adds beauty and atmosphere without becoming visually noisy or impacting performance.
Alongside the visual improvements, work is wrapping up on the core food chain systems. Farming, granaries, and bazaars are being finalized to ensure food production, storage, and distribution work together in a clear, reliable, and intuitive way as settlements grow and population demands increase. These systems form a critical foundation for long term city planning and economic balance.
The screenshot shared here represents an early settlement layout during active development and testing. Many elements are still subject to iteration as systems continue to be refined and balanced.
With the food systems nearing completion, the next major focus will shift toward military systems, introducing new strategic considerations around defense and threats.
Thank you for following the project and supporting its development. Wishing everyone happy holidays and a great start to the new year.
