We've recently added some Navy ships to our pirate colony sim, to really stir things up.. and some pretty graphics!

A few more buildings this month - the Inn (for tempting Pirates to your island), and the Tavern (where your pirates can buy drinks)

Our little Pirate colony sim just got a raft of new buildings that can be built, and a new unit to help you along the way 🙂

After a bit of a re-factor to our game, we're back on track again! We've also managed to sneak in a new feature, so you can start ordering your crew around. Check out the full details on our free Patreon page

📣 New Blog Post!

Fellow OSS authors! Drowning in hopelessly outdated code snippets and misleading docs?

I’ve been there. This post is about the idea that helped us recover — shared in case it's useful to someone else. 💜

#Scala

Progress on the game has hit a stumbling block this month, but in the interest of transparency (and because set-backs are as important as successes), we've written a blog post on it:

We've been working hard on the UI elements of our pirate colony sim, and this month is the turn of crew stats!

You can check out more about this (and keep track of thee development) on our Patreon page (www.patreon.com/posts/crew-s...)

We've been tweaking our AI for crew members! They now wander aimlessly around the island looking for things to do 🙂 You can check out more updated on our Patreon page (www.patreon.com/c/purple_kin...)

Just finished revamping our island generator! Pretty happy with the results of this, and had a lot of fun with implementing Wave Function Collapse 🙂

🕹️ Indigo 0.20.0 is out!

Many thanks to the contributors involved in this release! A small smorgasbord of quality of life improvements and a wacky Waypoints demo. What's not to love?

#Scala

Indigo's UI system is dead. Long live the UI system!

The UI system released last month did not survive first contact with the real world, and has been overhauled.

New releases of all Purple Kingdom Games #Scala libs, containing the revised UI and many other improvements, are now available.

Changing the graphics to 1-bit so we can focus on game-play for a while. Wasn't sure I'd like this art style, but actually quite enjoying it 🙂 #indiedev #pixelart

Still very early days, but I wanted to share our progress on a the quirky pirate colony simulator we're working on 🙂 Getting NPCs to make choices has to be my favourite part of the game dev process 🙂
