Hello BlueSky! I'm Joana, a 🇵🇹 #gamedev!

I'm currently developing a Colony Sim + RPG game! Think RimWorld meets Fire Emblem! ⚒️🤖⚔️

In "Salve, Viriathe!" you play as the Lusitanians as they resist Rome's annexation of Iberia.

I stream its development every Tue-Fri on www.twitch.tv/sorcerystory! 📺

Aferah, for a personal project, 2017
Aferah, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a woman in profile standing on a desert. Framing her head is a gold sun like a halo, and her long dark hair becomes the night sky behind her, with two pale moons among the stars. On one hand she holds a 4 leaf clover and on another a gold cup tilted down, a gold river pouring from it.

Spookiness improved!
New color pallette, night view limit and army composition!
The game is slowly turning into the mix of horror and real time strategy that i am aiming for. Its time for the real combat mechanics with dynamic armies. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godot

Thank you! I'm glad! Rimworld has been a major inspiration on this project, so that's very nice to hear! 😊

I'm glad! Thank you!

Things are progressing on the art side of things now, but there's still a lot of coding to do too! I wanted to have a rough demo by December, but the way things are going it may take a little more than that!

I'll let everyone know once it happens though! 😊💚

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

Been focusing on animations lately! Created a rough mining animation, which also works surprisingly well as a makeshift planting animation! ⛏️

Still kinda blown away by the scale of my game's world and all the possibilities it has. Imagine it filled with rivers, deserts, lakes, towns, mines! 🔥 Ugh, so much more work ahead.

(please ignore the weird cloud shadows 😅)

Yeees! All of the features! I can picture it now! The potencial is limitless!

(Keep it up, this is looking *very* cool!)

Was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I guess! 🤭

I can see it! Was an avid player of Dynablaster back in the day, so that is high praise indeed! Thank you! 🤭

Just received an e-mail from YouTube about this new "automatic dubbing" feature. I've seen how crappy it can be so I'm turning it off for my channel.

Posting this just in case I save some other channel out there!
An excerpt of an e-mail from YouTube that reads:

"We’ll soon enable automatic dubbing on your channel. This means that YouTube will automatically generate translated audio tracks in different languages, making your content accessible to more viewers.

No action is needed – we’ll enable this on your channel in the coming weeks. Once enabled, when you upload a new video, we’ll automatically add the dubbed audio to your video. Over time, we may also dub previously published videos. In some cases, we may be unable to generate the dubbed audio – you’ll be able to see the status of dubbed audio in YouTube Studio.

Effective today, you can turn off automatic dubbing for your entire channel in your Channel settings > Upload defaults > Advanced settings > Automatic dubbing.

Once auto dubbing is enabled for your channel, while uploading new videos, you’ll also have the option to turn off automatic dubbing for that video. Visit the link below to learn more about how to manage auto dubbing, including how to review dubs before publishing and which languages are currently supported."
