Update 0.0.13

Here's a new update 2 years and 7 months after the last one! The big focus of this update is extending the endgame. Once you have all your farms running etc, there wasn't much to do in the previous versions.

changedMost of the time enemies will start using these higher level weapons before you do, which creates a constant need to upgrade you equipment by digging deeper, getting more population and generally growing you settlement. This makes the game last much longer, as the constant need to adapt keeps things interesting.
changedAs for performance, I'm getting about 400 FPS on this save game, so nowhere need the game limit. However since the game is multi threaded, performance drop would be measured more in latency than lag, which I'm not seeing much of either. The game likely scales to 800+ population.
addedAdded orcs and goblins that spawn underground, with stronger enemies the deeper you mine
addedAdded multiple different classes of invaders that spawn depending on settlement worth
addedAdded seasons, with crops not growing during winter

Here's a new update 2 years and 7 months after the last one!

The big focus of this update is extending the endgame. Once you have all your farms running etc, there wasn't much to do in the previous versions. Now there are several more layers of better weapons and armors you can craft.

Most of the time enemies will start using these higher level weapons before you do, which creates a constant need to upgrade you equipment by digging deeper, getting more population and generally growing you settlement. This makes the game last much longer, as the constant need to adapt keeps things interesting.

For example here's a screenshot from one of my settlements, which I got to year 27 :

Little closeup

Population of 309

Settlement worth of 9 million, with outside worth of 10 million. Outside worth is the worth from invader's perspective and it's higher here because I started crafting adamantine weapons. Population mood is 46.93 due to giving good rooms to each citizen

Here's a guard in a underground mine equipped with adamantine

An invading force made of high level bandits!

An underground goblin attack

Even after having reached year 27 I haven't reached the endgame yet. The endgame comes when you reach the last few deepest layers. It's technically possible to do it with enough time but I haven't got to it yet.

As for performance, I'm getting about 400 FPS on this save game, so nowhere need the game limit. However since the game is multi threaded, performance drop would be measured more in latency than lag, which I'm not seeing much of either. The game likely scales to 800+ population.

There have been 439 alpha sign ups so far. I ran a script to resend an alpha key to everyone who signed up. I might put this out of alpha soon and make it generally available. I'm thinking of releasing the game for free and open source the code.

Enjoy!
