Post news Report RSS Elven City Simulator - animation updates continue

We continue updating building sprites with internal animations, and re-considering priorities.

Posted by on

After some feedback we decided to move towards development of a "cozy" game about settlement building. We updated some buildings and related mechanics to emphasize this idea - same happened with tutorial, it's structure changed a little bit.

Work on animations continue - almost all buildings are now ready! Last, but not least current change is earth tiles. Previously they We wanted to make them look more like desolated land. Did we achieve that? Feel free to let us know :)

...and some gameplay:


We are now getting prepared for the next update: Lanterns and Roads. It should influence overall balance a lot - you'll be able to provide some protection from darkness and plan your settlement more fine-grained! With lanterns it should ne easier to create production lines.

Getting familiar with free demo and cute elfs is possible in steam:

As always, any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
