Tenants Of The Shade -- 4X Builder

Working on the “Route” system — a core mechanic for linking towns, resources, and territory. It started out confusing (fair 😅), but with better signifiers it’s finally starting to click. #indiedev #gamedev #citybuilder #4X #unity #GameDesign

It's an honor to host this week's official #TurnBasedThursday! 📢 Calling all #IndieDev and #GameDev folks to show off their turn-based games below! Love #turnbased games? ♥ / 🔁 great games in the replies and @ who should be in this thread!

@CodeRed_dev Appreciate the #TurnBasedThursday, @CodeRed_dev! Here’s a look at the tactical combat in my game. Been working on terrain-hugging “range blobs” for ranged units so attack range reads more naturally over uneven ground. #gamedev #indiedev #tactics

New town hover/select effect coming along. #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #citybuilder #strategygame #4xgame #wip #madewithunity

Marketing friend said I should be more controversial on X, so here it is: I think the Bronze Age coulda been kinda not that bad, in places… #History #HistoryHotTake #UnpopularOpinion

@Doublecross_X I’m trying to straddle historical authenticity with colorful, fun people—while keeping it super efficient. Looks like boopy togas right now 😅

@ShadeTenants hehehehe welcome little creatures 😈 they look so funny, is there any concept art to share? I'm not sure I fully understand what are they

I am, again, the official (and hotest) host of #TurnBasedThursday 🔥 😈 👀 Devs, share your great turnbased game bellow with the hashtag! Everyone is welcome to drop whatcha' working on, but bonus if it's evil ❤️ Subjects, repost and like EVERYTHING

@Doublecross_X Thanks for this #TurnBasedThursday! My people follow the Sultan! A few clips focused on the people in my city-builder: camera follow, daily routines, inspect menus, and more expressive hover feedback. And yes, capes and brooches. #gamedev #indiedev

Early river dev clips: simulating flow with little water “pucks” that carry volume downstream. When do I get to officially call them Wahxels? 🌊 #gamedev #indiedev #simulation #procedural #unity

@indieDevC Thanks for #ScreenshotSaturday ! I'm working on NPC optimization... and capes. x.com/ShadeTenants/s…

Welcome #IndieDevs to another #ScreenshotSaturday !!! 💥 Post your #indiegame in the comments! 📷dont forget to retweet / reply !! #pixelart #IndieGameTrends #IndieWatch #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #Gameplay #letsplay #gamer #GamingCommunity

Gave my NPCs robes for visual variety… Now the close LOD ones have flowing, slightly transparent capes and a lot more *presence* than expected 👀 All driven by instanced billboards + shader layering. #gamedev #unity3d #graphics #simulation #screenshotsaturday

@CookieByteEnt @GreyAlien Very cool! The world seems very alive already.

@GreyAlien Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday @GreyAlien ! #TatteredBanners is a TRPG in a simulated world, where the land changes and cities rise or fall Experimenting with short simulation clips. This week is of bandits stealing from merchants, and upgrading their hideout

🕯️ The deck is shuffled, the hour is nigh. #TurnBasedThursday awakens, and we rise to host. #Gamedev & #IndieDev warlocks: lay your turn-based offerings in the replies. RPGs, roguelikes, strategy… all may be cast in. Adventurers: step into the thread. The ritual begins 🔁🩸

@GreyAlien All we may offer is a silly npc bug, great #TurnBasedThursday host. x.com/ShadeTenants/s…

Billboard clothing experiments for better crowd performance. And capes.

*Town Child* The sky-keyboard camera approaches! *Wise Elder* Hear all! Hula dance. #Unity #simulation #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev

@SachinKankane Unity. It made the most sense to me 3 years ago, but I think Godot has the momentum right now.

Near LOD people: Farms aren’t gonna work themselves. Far LOD people: Visit the well, saunter the plaza, phase through walls. #indiedev #gamedev #citybuilder #unity3d

Putting it together 🧩 From an Old Master’s maps → into a living title screen. #GameDev #citybuilder #4X #wip #indiedev #ArtHistory #HistoricalMaps #illustration #GameArt

Curious how others might handle these— what should be the consequences of these events? Over several turns?

Trying to make the world push back 🌍 droughts ☀️ floods 🌧️ wandering groups 🚶 Still in A/B territory #gamedev #indiedev #unity #GameDesign
