🚨 Very important dev update 🌸 Lavender has arrived in our Norse city builder! Grow lush lavender fields to beautify your settlements, boost comfort, and trade with neighboring realms. #gamedev #indiedev

Build a secluded village in our Norse city builder 🌳 Our new birch trees add a softer, storybook feel to settlements, letting you shape cozy homesteads tucked away beneath their canopies. A tavern beneath a birch has never looked cozier. 🍺 #gamedev #indiedev

We finally added birches to our Norse city builder 🌳 They completely change the feel of a settlement, giving it a much more storybook atmosphere. You'll also be able to plant them as decorative trees to make your villages feel even more alive. Oh.. and say hello to our troll 👋 #gamedev #indiedev

Farming has never been this flexible in our Norse city builder 🌾 Shape your fields however you like. Build across rivers, split farms into separate plots, and mix different crops to create organic farmland that follows the landscape. #gamedev #indiedev

Thank you for featuring Thveit! ❤️ We're excited to share more as development continues. More cozy Norse village life (and plenty more cats 🐈) is on the way.

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here are a few cozy moments from our storybook Norse city builder, Thveit. Hope they brighten your weekend. 🌿 #gamedev #indiedev

Our sheep love rainbows in our Norse city builder 🐑 A quiet bridge, fresh herbs, grazing sheep, and a rainbow after the rain. These are just some of the little magical moments you'll encounter in Thveit. #gamedev #indiedev

You can build your settlement beneath rainbows in our cozy city builder 🌈 Rainbows appear naturally after the rain, lighting up your little Norse village. Sometimes, the smallest moments are what make a settlement truly feel like home. #gamedev #indiedev

Showcasing the stormy weather in our Norse city builder 🌧️ Autumn brings more than colorful golden tones. Rain, thunder, lightning strikes, drifting mist, and dense fog can transform the atmosphere of your settlement in an instant. #gamedev #indiedev

Autumn feels even cozier in our Norse city builder 🍂 We've refreshed the color grading across every season, giving each one a more distinct atmosphere. Autumn is now even more eye appealing and a true joy to build in. #gamedev #indiedev

We're adding verticality to our Norse city builder 🗻 We've been experimenting with elevated terrain and handcrafted mountain formations to create more varied landscapes and make each settlement feel more unique. #gamedev #indiedev

Besides farms and pastures, we've also added custom gardens for your herbalists 🌿 Grow berries, herbs, and mushrooms to help keep your settlement well supplied with food and medicinal resources. #gamedev #indiedev

Welcome Norse folklore to our city builder 🧙‍♂️🐉 From trolls and huldras to dragons, spirits, krakens, and more, Norse mythology actively shapes how your settlement grows and evolves. It's #ScreenshotSaturday - enjoy a few glimpses from the world of Thveit! #gamedev #indiedev

One last showcase of our core city-building features ⚒️ Beyond homes, decorations, and defenses, you'll also build sacred altars, statues of the Norse gods, and other Faith & Folklore structures to earn divine favor and shape the life of your settlement. #gamedev #indiedev

Sharing more progress on our Norse city builder, Thveit ⚒️ We've refined the farming system, reworked our rivers, improved procedural forest generation, and added new homestead variants to make our world feel more alive. #gamedev #indiedev

We added Trolls to our Norse-inspired city builder, Thveit 🌲 Trolls can become friends or foes! Earn their favor by fulfilling their requests and they may lend a hand around your settlement, carrying far more resources than ordinary villagers. #gamedev #indiedev

Long time no see everyone 👋 We've been heads down working on Thveit over the past few weeks. Since our last update, we've added a new lighting system, improved color grading, expanded the building roster, and revamped the UI. Here's a small glimpse of the latest progress. 🖼️ #gamedev #indiedev

Been refining the pacing and flow of settlements in our Norse city builder Thveit 🌾🏡 This timelapse shows a village growing naturally between two rivers with bridges, farms, housing, and layered decorations gradually shaping the landscape. #gamedev #indiedev

We implemented sacred oak trees to our Norse city builder, Thveit! 🌲🌳 Settling near these ancient symbols of Norse worship will provide your settlers with lasting comfort and increased happiness, aside from looking pretty! #gamedev #indiedev

As night falls, your settlement comes to life. 🌌🌕 Take a look at the atmosphere of our Norse city builder Thveit. #gamedev #indiedev

We improved the atmosphere in our Norse city builder Thveit! 🌌🏡 New construction visuals, nighttime ambience, auroras, and immersive in-game audio, powered by @audiokinetic.bsky.social's Wwise! 👨‍🚀 #gamedev #indiedev

Finished polishing procedural rivers and bridges! 🌉🏡 Next up: river transportation, allowing settlers to travel between settlements from upstream to downstream! #gamedev #indiedev

Working on more organic settlement growth in our Norse city builder Thveit! 🌌🏡 Building between rivers and our take on Nordic fjords, then watching settlements naturally take shape, has been incredibly satisfying so far! #gamedev #indiedev

We implemented bridges to our Norse city builder Thveit! 🌉 🏡 No more building around rivers, now you can connect lands and expand your layout across the water. They look pretty neat, too! #gamedev #indiedev

One of the bigger focuses for our Norse-inspired city builder is the daily lives of settlers 🏡 They have their own routines, workplaces you assign them to, and spend their time socializing, relaxing, and drinking mead 🍻 #gamedev #indiedev

Sharing a quick look at settlement building in autumn colors 🍂 Been refining the overall color palette and reworking the ocean colors and depth to better fit the atmosphere of Thveit. #gamedev #indiedev

It’s #ScreenshotSaturday! 🖼️ Been working on more atmospheric and faith-related moments for our Norse-inspired city builder, including sacred altars, ancient trees, and some not-so-peaceful waters 🐙 #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Take a look at a few stylized shots from our Norse-inspired city builder, including a glimpse of our newly added river transportation 🚣 #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Added some new animations for settlers and their cats 🐱 Your settlers can now carry their cats around! We’ve been focusing on adding more small, cozy moments to make the world of Thveit feel more alive. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Scrapped this timelapse from the trailer, figured I’d share it with all of you instead 🏡 🌲 Still experimenting with settlement growth, atmosphere, and making villages feel more alive as you expand. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Another quick timelapse from our Norse-inspired city builder 🏡 🌲 Added more buildings, decorations, and vegetation to make settlements feel more alive! #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Still iterating on early-game progression, balancing resources and overall feel. Here’s a short (but satisfying) timelapse from campfire to settlement 🌿 #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Implemented a small waypoint system for workplaces, settlers will now move to and perform tasks directly at their assigned locations. It’s a relatively small system, but it adds a lot more life and clarity to how settlements function. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Been testing how our settlements grow, and how the walls shape around them over time 🏡 Aiming for something that feels dense, but still organic as it expands. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Buntings for the spring festival 🌿 Even early settlements deserve a bit of color! #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Adding a Kraken to our city builder was a fun challenge 🐙 Syncing attacks with moving ships across the ocean was the tricky part, but we think it works. It can even wave to you. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Well… that escalated quickly 🐙 We added a Kraken - sea travel isn’t safe anymore. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Watch the aurora come to life 🌌 Really happy with how night feels, plus an updated river shader with reflections! #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Implemented a dozen decoration types, each with multiple variants, with a strong focus on foliage 🌸 You can decorate your settlement to your liking and truly beautify it. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Fully procedural world, dynamic rivers, and a grass shader doing the heavy lifting, all to support a growing settlement! How does it look so far? #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Just playing around with early settlement building, never gets old 🏡 Still tuning the early game feel 🏕️ #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Building a homestead by the river in our cozy Norse city builder 🏡🌊 slowly carving out a place of comfort in this storybook world 😌 #indiedev #gamedev #citybuilder #indiegames

Implemented the Herbalist Lodge (Herbsholm) 🌿 Settlers can now plant, grow, and gather their own herbs. 🧺✨ #citybuilder #gamedev #indiedev #rts

Introducing Woodholm - your foresters’ lodge 🌲 Settlers cut, haul, and replant trees - keeping the forest alive and wood flowing. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #madewithunity

We made storage physical in our city builder! 📦 Instead of just numbers, goods actually fill the space. #IndieDev #Gamedev #citybuilder #madewithunity

Priorities: We added cats to our city builder before almost anything else. 🐱 Best part? They’re fully simulated with their own routines! #IndieDev #Gamedev #CityBuilder #MadeWithUnity

When the mead hits a bit too hard 🍺 He swears he can still walk straight. #IndieDev #Gamedev #cozygames

From freshly planted fields to a full harvest in golden autumn light 🌾🍂 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #citybuilder
