Our alchemists now have a bed to sleep in, and we've also placed a balloon as the starting building. Less visible, but also new in the game, are the small resource piles that appear when materials are harvested.

This week we work on some more performance tuning! There will be a lot going on in your alchemy lab and we need to put some time into making sure everything will run smoothly for you 🙂

For our base-building game, we're currently working on several aspects: liquids can now be mixed (which will be important later for alchemy), trees and plants can be planted and harvested, and various annoying bugs have been fixed... 🙃

Planting time. After my first cup of tea, I'm currently creating a few of our plants in different variations (here, for example, the "Nutleaf" after it has been harvested).

In the past few days, we've been working on an initial (rough) UI for our game. We also implemented a mechanic for harvesting plants – including the first plant types. It's coming to life! Slowly but surely, our game is starting to feel alive. 🥰🌱

We're back! 🙃 It's been a bit quiet around here lately – and for good reason: we've been deep in the adventure of founding our GmbH while also welcoming our Labrador puppy. But now we're ready for the next level. Stay tuned – and get ready for updates and behind-the-scenes insights.

Typical morning walk with a puppy...
Me: "Good morning."
Neighbor: "Oh my, what a cutie you are! And still so small!"

A common prank among alchemists ;-) We implemented our first spell "Conjure Water" for our Alchemy Punk Base Building game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Solo Devs little helpers: A powershell script that finds all lines with "TODO" I added/removed in my current branch, reminding me of things I may want to look into before merging. What little helper scripts make your developer lives easier? #gamedev #powershell #programming

We're still busy mining away, working hard in the digital mines to create new materials. Everything is lovingly designed by hand so you can have fun digging it all up later 😊

Just a question for the developer /indies among you: Do you also work on your game on Sundays? When do you take a break?
For us, it's not always easy to find the right balance because we have so much fun developing. But breaks are also important...☕️

We have designed new materials for the alchemists to dig through in our base building game. 🖌️
At first, we used placeholders for the materials – these are now being gradually replaced with hand-designed materials.

Good morning!
Currently a lot of work goes into coding and figuring out answers to some algorithmic questions that are not easily presentable with screenshots. Time to fetch a tea and put on our thinking caps 🤓

"Schnaffel" (or call him "Sniffer") is our first creature in the game. 😊 First we sketched it on paper and then transferred it digitally.
The sketch came about by chance from a small scribble

Why we use Rust and Bevy for our game?
Why Rust?
We want to build a Colony Sim with lots of things going on.
This requires a lot of computation but we don’t want to ask you to buy a high-end machine for our game so it is important to have very efficient code.

This week we worked on building placement. It is important to see whether the building can be built on site or not...

We don't program our game in one of the typical languages, but in Rust and use Bevy as the engine. Are you interested in finding out more about it? Or is that too technical?
