Hello Elders! This is just a quick post to celebrate with you all the second birthday of dotAGE! It has already been two years since release! Thank you to everybody who purchased the game and all players who made this a reality!

The Recall Update 1.8 is live on Steam and GoG! - Recalls: a feature to re-select Buildings in the tree - Starting village boons! - Custom game modifiers! - Research Previews and Research Queuing! - Balance & Fixes Have fun! store.steampowered.com/news/app/638...

Version 1.8 (now on experimental) adds a new Boon choice step, at the start of each village! This spices up early game, trying to make each village more unique from the start! New boons favour fishing, harvesting, and making many Pips!

Just got sent this by a player, love how the achievements already tell you a lot about the story! Congratulations!

Hello Elders! Version 1.8 is now on experimental, with some cool changes! - A Recall mechanic to re-roll buildings! - Starting Boons to spice up early game! - 'Clairvoyance' mode with whole tree visible! - 'Infinite Recall' mode to select all buildings! store.steampowered.com/news/app/638...

I'm back from vacation elders!!! Which means that I'm releasing the new update soon! Time for a sneak peak of a cool new mechanic! :D Enter the Recalls!! Soon on experimental with many more changes for 1.8, I'll be hinting at all the rest these days :)

Here's a cat litter in the meantime

It's bot name appreciation day, where I look at bot names and nod with a smirk!

Hope you are having a great summer! I just pushed a small update (1.7.2) with some small UX changes and new fixes, but I also wanted to share more about the work I'm doing under the hood! Here is a sneak preview on the Research Update coming this September. Happy vacation everybody!

Ok I've been revising other parts of the Agepedia, I'm moving all Elder details to separate areas as the new elders had a LONG list of stuff! Much cleaner isn't it?

The great devs at Eremite Games are at it again!!! Very excited about the new DLC, good luck on the release!

Hello everybody! How is it going? I've been quite busy with life lately (also trying to solve my workaholism problem) while working on the next update for after the summer focusing on improving the Research Tree, I'll be sharing some cool stuff in the coming weeks!

1.7 is live on @gog.com! Very happy to see this before the long weekend! 🥳

Hello Elders! dotAGE is part of the #TurnBasedThursdayFest for this week, with many discounted games! And I just dropped QoL update 1.7 too! - Hyperlinks in the Agepedia - New and improved settings - Advanced contextual actions - Balance & Fixes tinyurl.com/4nk3548s

Hello elders! I have great news today! - Version 1.7 is up on experimental with many QoL features! - The Agepedia now has hyperlinks everywhere! - Folkways is coming to Switch & GoG this week - A new roadmap is here that shows what I'll be working on! store.steampowered.com/news/app/638...

I always wanted to add hyperlinking to the game... and so here we are, coming soon!

I swear adding a Vegan achievement to the game was the best choice that made dotAGE's emergent narrative flourish

Let's delve into cool stuff from the new Folkways DLC! Dad is one of the new elders, and he has one cool caveat: he can *work* like a bonus Pip! He also has a special icon in the UI where you can see whether he's busy or not!

This is what happens when you go into exile working on your game for 8 years!

This is why we make games, thank you for the heartfelt review!!!

I like it here and want to grow my bluesky feed with cool stuff from creative people, FEED ME! any field is fine! Do you have suggestions?

I found some design notes for dotAGE going back to 2014, did you know that "Good Events" appeared only in 2020? That's 6 years since I started working on the game! I could write a book with all the different iterations of the event system 👁️

Started playing @dotage.bsky.social on my Steamdeck because of @lyssatee.bsky.social and I can't see. To stop. It's so good guys.

Cat economy is obviously based on meat, which might sound cruel but... well, what did you expect!

I just love emergent narrative from gameplay mechanics! Here is the poor Tujelly crying due to being wet!

This achievement is inspired by my late princess Priscilla <3

I am mildly annoyed from the fact that more players found a Bourgeoise Pip than a Cat.

Down the memory lane! Logo evolution for dotAGE, from 2014 to 2022!

Ok, I'm making the Latrine a Leisure building (for balance purposes, but it does make sense!)

There is no more soothing OST than Heroes of Might & Magic ambient on loop, none, there cannot possibly be another one that will make me feel even calmer

Now now please render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, I'll admit dotAGE is a little inspired by my love for Civ!

Ok I managed to merge the Pipfolk, Job, and Class icon together, so that the new folk buildings will be cleaner! Bathtenders Fishpips <3 do no run in their presence!

Dwarven pippins have small beards

Damn I should have made dotAGE episodes

Oh, and this one, for the accultured!

Achievements are now up for Folkways! I had a lot of fun in adding them! You will find various references in there too ;) Below you will find some of my favourites!

Another one ehehe

Achievements for Folkways are underway! Here is a fun selection :D

Yes, the princess can also be a Dwarf princess. Enjoy her, as I think I'll be changing that!

The new VIPs can also produce automatically resources each turn, such as the beautiful Princess! And did you know that the best way to get her is to have 7 dwarves in your village, for some unknown reason?

You know what's the number I am most proud of? dotAGE just reached 1.000 copies *gifted*! More than 1000 people decided they wanted a friend to meet the Apocalypse. I suspect some of those might be enemies, but it's really AWESOME nonetheless!

Thank you Liam for the interview! I shared some of the history of dotAGE with this interview, always happy to talk about the process!

Fixes sometimes can be painful... - Fixed Dwarven brewers being able to inhebriate themselves by drinking alone - Fixed Dwarven brewers being able to inhebriate dead Pips

Man I'm in love with my own new boon icons, send help They are like mountains to me, I get +1 when I kiss an icon

Now that's humbling!

Did you know! Each Folk in Folkways has an instrumental theme, which is played whenever their event come up! Also, the new track will adapt based on your villagers, for example by adding.... cat instruments when you have cats!
