Do not rely on AnimatedTiles for your tile animations, if you want to do the effect in the video... It took 2 days before I decided to give up on AnimatedTiles, and just half a day to generate a custom solution. #indiegamedev

What to see what 4X and Grand Strategy games you can look forward to in 2026? Than check out this video: youtu.be/PIheGPkkWis

The new tab includes both encyclopedia and event logs! #indiegamedev

WIP: event logs will be available in the ledger with next patch! #IndieGameDev

Imperial Ambitions has reached 17500 Wishlists!!! Thank you all for your support! #GamingLife

My experience with the demo release can be summarized with a single word... Sleeplessness Pains of being an #indiedev

Imperial Ambitions Wiki is now available on Fandom!!! imperial-ambitions.fandom.com #indiegames

In Imperial Ambitions Discrimination leads to economic isolation, and even emmigration. #IndieGameDev #screenshotsaturday

New feature!🌟 After an attack⚔️, if you have a general (or a Slave Master) and the enemy hitpoints fall below 30, you can capture the enemy! ⛓️ #indiegame #gaming

Choose your explorer’s career as a cartographer, geologist, surveyor or diplomat, each unlocking powerful abilities and new advantages for your empire. #indiedev #gaming

Adding in the natives to the game. For now, they will not be playable unfortunately. Got to wait for the Release for that! #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday

The new world teems with desperate souls. Will you build a future together — or chain them to your empire’s ambition? #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Testing Imperial Ambitions... Note to self: DON'T LEAVE GREEDY or FANATIC units in culturally different towns... They tend to massacre alot 🗡️🗡️🗡️ #IndieGameDev

Here how "Unrest Traits" work in IA! Discontent citizens will go on strike and later, if still unsatistied they will protest. If there is no improvement, finally they will riot. Rioting can lead to rebellion, or continue until people are tired of rioting. #turnbasedthursday #socialsimulation

Dissatisfaction, Depression and Hysteria is a progressive effect resulting from lack of luxury. Yet prospect of a new baby removes these effects temporarily... Just wait until terrible twos! #SocialSimulation #Indiegaming

Created a UI to visualize how Traits are connected! Here is how disease and hunger effects affect eachother in Imperial Ambitions. #indiegames #gamedev green line: promotes, red line cancels.

Imperial Ambitions hit 16K Wishlists!!! #TurnbasedThursday #gaming

Hello #indiegamedev I am working on Influence Mechanics.I got to choose one of two approaches for calculating influence: 1.Calculated from scratch at the end of the turn based on state, such as culture, trade routes, logistics, other traits. In this scenario agent or unit actions can NOT directly...

In IA, every agent has several abilities, Their abilities are listed on the right. Immidiately available abilities are found on top, others are below with a brief info on why they are not available. What do you think? Any suggestions to increase readibility? Is it too crowded? Is layout ok?

Returned from holiday and back to gamedev! I am working on alternative design for Action Buttons. There are 3 things needed to be expressed: 1. Name of the action (ie. Heal) 2. Required (ie. action points, resources, discipline etc) 3. Fail reason if action not possible Looking for design ideas?

In Imperial Ambitions units have discipline, determined by luxury and hunger. But how should Discipline effect the units' ability to perform actions? A. It determines how many extra ACTION POINTS each Action requires B. Each Action requires a min Discipline Or Another? #indiegames #gaming

Working on adding more info to the town labels... Now you can see how many turns before babies are due! in a 4X game!!🤪 #IndieGameDev #tilesettuesday #gaming

There’s a humbling joy in seeing players spend hours in your game. Here is a screenshot I received today - Winter 1550! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #MondayMotivation

I love this game! But you could also show the colonies on the New Continent in your clip, after all it's an integral and defining feature of the imperialist era. Could also reinforce the 'Sid Meier's Colonization' vibes! :)

Bird animations...Done. Why? Cuz I can! 😎🤪 Question time: how many birds are left on the tree? 😋 #pixelart #indiedev #gaming

Time to add some animation to the docks. Which one do you prefer? Any suggestions? #pixelart #gamingvideos #gamedev

Sometimes a tiny detail takes a whole day... #pixelart #WishlistWednesday Your Explorers will be glad to see these rafts carrying survivors or, at least, some raw resources.

Working In Progress: With the next patch, units will be able to garrison in towns of their own. Players can recognise the garrison on the map as red/yellow tents. #IndieGameDev #pixelart #gaming Any suggestions?

Here is a unique twist to 4X TBS, In Imperial Ambitions, everything revolves around agents; diplomacy, trade, battles... Everything. Like playing RPG inside 4X strategy.

Apparently there is a rebellion in Copenhagen... I hope they wont attack me... #indiegamedev

Imperial Ambitions is soon getting a MASSACRE & ENSLAVEMENT Update! Players can use their General to turn peasants into slaves. Keep in mind, Slaves are likely to rebel in first sight of discourse and wudn't defend your towns from invaders. link⬇️ #gaming #pixelart #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Today I have implemented massacre and enslave abilities for the General unit. #indieDev #indieGame

Don't be scared to combine shaders with hand-drawn animations. When used correctly, they can complement eachother so well. #indiedev #indiegame #vfxartist Here, you can see waves in the sea made using shaders, and waves hitting the shore, made by hand.
