As a #gamer, what do you like to see from a #gamedev during the development process? Technical deep dives? Game mechanics overviews? Development processes? Something else? I'm really curious to know what gets you engaged in a project during development!

Spent the day working on the lighting effects, making sure they work correctly and perform well at scale. Plus some gameplay functionality for the new items. Let me know what you think!

I've been working on the lighting system for Kinfolk a little bit over the past week. It's nothing crazy, but it sure is purdy. Still need to resolve a few issues though!

Fixing the tools of your fellow kin, filling orders for the Lord and Merchants. We take a wee visit to the forge today to see what the Blacksmith is up to. He's one of a dozen jobs that you can play!

Back in the dev saddle after a week or so off for moving! I'm happy to be back!

The players wanted to be able to pickup the corpses of chickens, so players can now pickup the corpses of chickens.

Added a little bit of juice to Kinfolk's farming system today. It's just a simple little bitty, but it really adds so, so much!

Let me know what you think!

Meet Crom. Crom is here to free your soul. There are many ways to meet Crom. One of them is to eat strange mushrooms.

Job Selection for Kinfolk. You pick your job each round, and try to finish all of your goals before the round ends. Hopefully you (and your house!) survive!

What are you choosing for your first round?

Did another pass of Kinfolk last night. Each sticky is an action item. Do you think I can resolve these before the end of the weekend?

I bet you a wish list I can. 🙂

Kinfolk isn't always chaotic! It can get pretty wholesome as well, like these two folk, sharing soup!

Cozy Multiplayer Chaos, like if Stardew and Goat Sim got drunk and had a baby!

I got lawyered by my own game. I died by sitting on a lit fire. I guess I -technically- didn't finish the round with any burns active...

Touched up the animation for items being held in two arms, inspired by wanting my chicken throwing to look cleaner.

Looking good for Trailer filming tomorrow!

Added in the last building for the demo: the Guard Tower, which helps to tell the history of the village being built around old Roman ruins, as many settlements in N. Europe were during this period.

I love building this little world with all of its stories!
