We've added schematics to the world generation :D The first one? A reworked circle of stones! You can use those to grow magical yew trees or discover how to train druids #indiegame #citybuilder #indiegames #magic

A small section of river. We're testing out new tilesets for the edges at the moment which is why some tiles look a little different! #indiegames #citybuilder #nature

Just a small part of my farming village~ #indiegame #indiegames #citybuilder

There are all kinds of rewards in Crumble of Civilizations. Taking good care of your sheep might just earn you a wood-carved statue! #multiplayer #citybuilder #nature #indiegame

Early settlements can benefit greatly from nearby slate as it allows you to map out the world. Without it your civilization will not remember where they've been - turning the surroundings into a wall of fog once more #indiegame #citybuilder #multiplayer

A small town in the middle of the forest #indiegame #citybuilder #indiegames #multiplayer

Swallows, hunting in the fields #citybuilder #indiegame

Depending on where you live, you might find ancient druidic knowledge. With it, you can train druids who can manipulate the growth stages of nature. #indiegames #indiegame #citybuilder #multiplayer

Mistakes were made! Why did we start our base on top of an ant hilll aaaaa #indiegame #citybuilder

We've added a priority system for all gather (and gather-like) buildings! 🎉 Finally, no more accidentally cutting down your favorite trees #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegame

And that also means these tall giants have plenty of spots to hide interesting resources in! #indiedev #pixelart #nature

The trees in Crumble are extremely tall - in the hope that they'll evoke a sense of scale when living below them! 🌲

While spiders are part of our game world, that doesn't mean you have to see them if you don't want to! With our Arachnophobia mode, you can: • Replace spiders with phobia indicators (👻) or hide them completely • Choose whether to hide spiderwebs, -nests, -eggs and other spiderstuffs

You obtain more and more recipes as you discover new resources in the world. That's why it is important to regularly check if your buildings are still working on the right things! #indiegames #citybuilder #indiegame

Resources often hide in plain sight! Therefore it is useful to zoom in really -really- far. I did not realize it when I made this video but you can hear nearby bees too! You can only hear them if you are close enough with the camera 🐝🔊 #indiegame #indiegames #citybuilder

Those fishies better dive asap because the Kingfisher is coming! 🐟 #indiegames #indiegame

In Crumble of Civilizations, recipes can be upgraded in various ways. Here, I'm upgrading my town hall which unlocks an upgraded recipe for my researchers. That's super helpful because the basic researchers are sloowwwww.....! #indiedev #indiegames #citybuilder

Seems to me that this elephant is heading in the same direction ^^ #indiegame

When you discover a new building building you get one of those fancy letters! It tells you what the building can be used for and shows you which recipes (tasks) the building can perform. Some of them even contain little hints for niche uses! #indiedev #indiegame #citybuilder

Look at those pheasants hiding in the reeds. Based on the abundance of them there's sure to be a river nearby! #indiegames #indiegame

It's so easy to forget how large the world is. A butterfly might look small when compared to your town but your town, in turn, is much smaller than the forests surrounding it! #indiegame #indiedev

More (small) resources have been added to the light forest biomes over the past few weeks. Check out the fallen leaves and the small butterflies that are now present~ #indiegame #indiegames

A super early sneak peek at the badlands subbiome! 🪨 Right now, it's just some grasses and rocks but we're exited to keep expanding it slowly over time. Stay tuned for updates! #indiedev #indiegames

Also hi we're backkkkk~~~~ Sorry for the random absence! I promise we're still working hard!!! 📖

Figuring out where to place your tree in a forest can be a tough task. Especially when you consider the influence of the tree on the surrounding resources! Here I've placed it in a spot it dislikes - just so I can grow all the garlic that surrounds it (they like the shade!)🌿 #indiegame #indiegames

I FINALLY caught the honey bees swarming on camera! 📸🐝 It took me forever because it is such a rare event for them to actually swarm! For them to find a new home they need to have enough honey & there must be a nice tree (somewhat) nearby for them to live in. #indiegame #indiedev #indiegames

Would you settle here? #indiedev #indiegame

It's Mermay! You can find them near the coast either in the water or chilling on land, like this one! This one seems to have befriended a local hedgehog 🧜🦔 #indiegames #mermay #indiedev

Dandelion seeds can fly in the wind! :D

The light rays in the forest look really cool if they line up with a specific resource ✨ #indiegame #indiegames

🐜🐜🐜Ant hills now spawn in the wild! 🐜🐜🐜 #indiegame

Not all forests are welcoming to settlers. . . #citybuilder #indiegames

Ants have entered the foresty areas! #indiegame

Just some birds chilling on the beach 🐚🌊🐦 #indiegame

Wasps have started living in our compost heap! #indiegame

Is it time to sneak in subtle weather effects? 👀 Here's an early test with mist creeping around the forest! (Ignore the enthusiastic trees lol, it's super windy ok) #indiedev #indiegame #citybuilder

I got distracted by the nice weather ☀️ Birdposting will happen tomorrow!

I've almost finished a quick steam store asset preview tool in #godot. Would any other #indiedev be interested in a tool like that? It sneaks your game into a random other game's location. You can upload screenshots to randomize increase variation too. (Please ignore the super placeholder image ^^)

You now select individual things when researching! Before you'd select all resources of the same type. #indiegame #indiedev

We're upgrading our research! You can now hover over individual resources rather than selecting the entire cluster of resources. This doesn't change anything about the research mechanic but it feels a lot better in-game! Also, the bugs while working on this were quite something ^^' #indiegame

🐐 spotted!

New birb! Common starlings have entered our world ✨🪶 It's really hard to get the heads right when working with such a small amount of pixels. Round pixels when!?

A deer desperately trying to escape from my fence debugging session. I feel like the deer sometimes. I also want to escape 😅

I finally got around to making that video I promised to show the different animal states in the game! I mostly looked at frogs here but there are a lot of other animals and/or plants I can show. Trees, for instance, have a ton of options! 🌲🐸 @arborlands.bsky.social @manelcamacho.bsky.social

🗺️You need to map out your surroundings in Crumble of Civilizations!🗺️ Areas that you haven't made a map of hide themselves when a unit leaves. Once a map has been made it'll remember what things looked like when you last visited! I mapped the darker area here to plan for the optimal lumberjack loc!

Guess the bird!

Are they called Doe Beetles, I wonder?

We already had Stag Beetles (male) but now we also have the female version! 🪲

🔥🦎Fire Salamanders have been added!🔥🦎

Here's an older screenshot of a feature we're finishing up this week! There will be multiple ways to construct the same building, allowing you to customize their size, costs, and visuals!
