I have also finally implemented railways traveling in two directions, no more single rail, finally!

Vehicles will stop automatically to yield to other vehicles. There won't be micromanagement of intersections and traffic, so you can focus on growing the city and making your citizens happy.

Times of Progress is part of the City Builder & Colony Sim Steam Fest!

Times of Progress is taking part in Days of Ramadan Festival!

Thank you to the organisers for including my game!

I'm working on Times of Progress, a city builder set during the industrial revolution, where you:
- manage steam trains and ships to deliver resources.
- need to keep your citizens happy and satisfy their needs.
- research new tech and sign laws, mirroring real 1800s progress.

This is how you add mines in Times of Progress and connect them with the railway network. It's design to be quick and easy.

Yay, just scheduled a newsletter issue going into details about how Times of Progress' Timeline UI works (basically its tech tree).

I've been improving the pause menu lately.

One feedback was that I should blur the city when opening it. I tried but it looked too modern.

I instead ported Acerola's Kuwahara filter to WGSL to give it a painted look and I like it a lot (then compression butchered the image..)

Railways are spawned using the same pathfinding logic as moving entities. Bridges and intersections are added automatically. #bevy #rustlang

In Times of Progress you can use steamships to deliver resources.

Routes are calculated automatically based on local industry needs and available deposits.

Is #WishlistWednesday a thing here?

Anyway, this is Times of Progress, the City Builder game set during the Industrial Revolution that I am working on!

..something something.. #gamedev is bloody hard..?

(I promise I've done a lot!)

So this is the pause menu that I've been cooking up. What do you people think?

It's done with a couple shaders plus custom materials, while the frame uses Bevy's TextureSlicer.
