#Thveit is slowly coming together into something more cohesive. More to share soon. #thveit #citybuilder #indiedev #gamedev

Still tweaking the early-game feel - feedback welcome! Ignore the WIP UI 🔨

There’s something really satisfying about starting a settlement from nothing 🏡 Here’s a quick look at the early game in our Norse-inspired city builder. #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #indiegame

@artem_sini39436 That's a beautiful cat 🐱

Every NPC in my game even animals - has procedural animations💫 #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Don't mind the ugly UI - still tweaking the early-game feel + feedback welcome! 🙏

@ShadowObF In that case, the saga has only just begun!

@wintercatsgames And you are the pen and paper for our legends!

We added a brewery to our Norse-inspired city builder 🍺 Would love to hear your thoughts on the construction phases! #gamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #madewithunity

@ShadowObF That’s how legends are born!! 🪓👏

@wintercatsgames Kid: Dad do you remember your joke with the man of the lake? Me: Yes why? Kid: It’s in a game.

@ShadowObF Appreciate it! 🍺 Glad you approve! Your settlers might start spending a bit too much time there 😂🙌

An indie developer who now exactly what we need in our builds! #NorseBrewery #Mead #CozyGameplay

@ShadowObF The man of the lake gives - and takes 🪓 The man of the lake is now canon 😂

@wintercatsgames “The lady of the lake”, naaa we are Vikings we have “the man of the lake”, and an axe!

@ShadowObF Bjorn Softskull… the man, the myth, the one who lost his axe to the river. He will be added to Thveit! 🙌

@wintercatsgames Btw Bjorn Softskull has lost his axe in the river!

@R2RGames It's a must! 🍻

@wintercatsgames Got to have a brewery! 🍻

Also - a closeup and during the dusk (we love dusk setting) 🔨🌇 Testing how construction reads from ground level 👀

@ShadowObF A true Viking construction strategy 🍺 Start building -> drink -> somehow it still gets finished 😂

@wintercatsgames The construction it’s done. We don’t remember anything after the third cask of mead, but hey, it’s done!

@Gamiwombat Ah yes - this is a sped up version! At normal speed it’s more balanced. What would make it feel more immersive to you? 🙂

@wintercatsgames I love it I am someone who likes things to be immersive and real so maybe a little fast. I am not sure if you sped it up for the video. Thanks look nice

@husprimbu Cheers right back! 🍻

@wintercatsgames Cheers!🍻

@xPaxion Notes taken ✍️ Added to the list!

@xPaxion Grog might have to make its way in 🍺 Would you go for mead or grog?

@wintercatsgames Any grog?

Brewery will produce mead that settlers can enjoy at the tavern 🍺 giving the comfort boost! Also noticed how much the rivers add to the scene while recording this 🌊

@husprimbu Ohh I see what you mean! Our procedural system doesn’t support terrain manipulation like that yet, but it’s definitely something we’ve thought about as well 👀

@wintercatsgames Nice! I meant like could I have people break apart land to create more flows throughout the land

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

@husprimbu What do you mean by expanding rivers alongside land development? 🙂 Rivers will mainly be used for transport via smaller boats. Fishing will be more tied to the ocean, but things like cloth washing or water mills sound really interesting 👀

@wintercatsgames Would I able to expand the rivers with land work? What actions can be done with the rivers? Would my settlement be able to fish, wash, etc.?
