Full Speed Ahead!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share some good news with you all! In the last week I had a lot of check-ups and scans relating to the health issues I've had over the last couple of years and the results were all very good :) It's the first time since my lung operations last year that a scan has shown my lungs to be fully healed so it feels...

Hey everyone!

The save system is fully up and running now so you can save and load the towns that you create. I only just finished work on it yesterday so it's possible that there are still some bugs. If you get the time to test it out then please let me know if you encounter any issues!

A Quick Progress Update

Hey everyone!

I hope you've all had a good start to the new year. I just wanted to quickly update you on how progress on the city-builder game has been this month.

I had a slightly slow start to the year as I've still been having some small issues with one of my lungs (nothing serious, and I have a CT scan coming up soon to see if an...

A Quick Positive Update!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing well and staying healthy. Personally, the last month has been a big improvement - my latest health check-ups were all fine and I've been able to throw myself back into gamedev once again. Progress on the game has been good and I'm pretty much back to my usual working schedule. I've even got a devlog ...

City Builder Game Download (Version 0.0.7)

Now that I'm back to my normal working schedule I'll aim to release a new version of the game to you guys every month. Obviously there's very little gameplay right now, but you can still create a cute little town, and search for bugs ;) If you find any, do let me know!

Another quick update

Hey everyone,

So sorry it's been so long since the last update - things have been a bit difficult for me in the last few months with health worries and other unfortunate circumstances, so game development took a bit of a backseat for a while. I have still been working on the game now and again, but progress has been rather slow and I reall...

Sorry for the lack of updates!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to apologize for the lack of updates and videos recently. I've been struggling a bit to get back to full productivity since my health issues and operations earlier this year, and with a lot of health check-ups in the last month I've found it especially difficult to concentrate much on game development.

You...

City-Builder Game Download

I mentioned in my last devlog video that the people/pathfinding system was one of the most complex things I've ever implemented and I definitely still stand by that! The last few weeks have been especially arduous as I've worked through a seemingly endless list of edge-cases and loose ends , such as roads being removed while a person is followin...

Update: Back to Development, Payments Still Paused

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. I've been back to work on development this month and it's been going really well; I've made a lot of progress on the game and there will be a new devlog video about that tomorrow! I'll upload the current version of the game/code here soon - I just want to tidy up a few loose ends first.

Payments Paused Again

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all well and safe during these crazy times. I'm now back from hospital and staying very much isolated while I recover from my latest lung operation (which went very well).

I've just started getting back to work again but I won't have anything to show for it this month, so for that reason I'll be pausing Pa...

Back to work!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I've been getting back to development in the last few weeks and have started making devlogs again (the most recent one went out earlier this week). So I'm going to be un-pausing the Patreon payments for now, meaning that you'll be charged on March 1st.

I do have another operation next ...

Payments Paused & Health Update

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I've paused the payments for my Patreon page, so you're not going to be charged any more until I get back to working on the game. Obviously there haven't been any videos for a while and I don't have any new code to give as a reward, so it doesn't make sense for you to keep having to pay. I'l...

A Quick Update

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to quickly let you know what's been going on recently and explain why there haven't been any updates lately. 

Unfortunately I've had to spend some time in hospital again after my lung spontaneously collapsed a couple of weeks ago. As dramatic as this sounds it's apparently not super uncommon and can t...

New Engine Code

Hey everyone!

Here's the latest code for the new game/engine. It's got the new UI stuff that I talked about in this week's devlog video, but it doesn't have the text rendering stuff yet. I'll upload the code again in a few days when I've fully incorporated text into the UI system.

Hey everyone,

Sorry that it's been so long since I last updated you! I've been having a rather busy Summer with lots of travelling, planning, and sorting things out. I'm going to be moving to Hamburg next month so I've been flat hunting quite a lot recently, and now that I've finally found a place I've got to sort out furniture, internet, ...
