added an option to see all the available 'blocks'... could be useful

Some Gridbound gameplay - Councilors add special skills that change how you score. I think the gameplay loop is finally coming together...yay!!😁

the reference is Arco - and I want to create a unique style but don't know how. Going down from 32px to 24px did help because more pixels make me anxious 😰

Is it too obvious that I am not a pixel artist and have to "take inspiration" from actual pixel artists. Also if you are one, any notes?

In Gridbound, beyond the base rules you can unlock and appoint Councilors. They have special skills that improve and sometimes change how you gain score (prestige)

I can't wait to explore weird mechanics here...

Since I uploaded Gridbound some time ago I have been playing around with the core idea trying to make it into a much bigger(but still tiny) puzzle, roguelite game.
What do you guys think?

when I saw your game, I immediately thought of Pirates (the remake) and the feeling I had playing it as a child.

Created new sprites for Gridbound over the weekend. The old one is pico-8 colors - inspired by 'Falling Ecosystem' by sprvrn.
Increased the sprite size from 8x8 to 16x16 for the new one. I kinda like this one better, thoughts?

Guys!! have you played Gridbound
tossed-salads.itch.io/gridbound

If you did can you let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you guys?

I am thinking of adding upgrades? is that a bad idea?

Ok so @itch.io has decided to flag my game as suspicious.
You guyssssahh!! It is not a virus or a scam!
If it doesn't get resolved soon I have to remove it from itch. Right?
These are not the vibes.

The post processing and camera in #tinyvalley remind me of old school #citybuilder games #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder #indiedev #gamedev

#tinyvalley how it started vs how it is going. Super excited about where this game is headed! #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder #indiedev #gamedev

in #tinyvalley most production and service buildings require labor from nearby tenements or residences. You can use handy overlays to visualize stats like employment, hygiene, religion etc... #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder

🌳🌾Witness the magic of the #mapgeneration in #tinyvalley as it breathes life into a barren landscape with forests, fields, and resource deposits. Working on more resource variety #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder

#tinyvalley is inspired by one of my all-time favorite city builders, ❤️Grand Ages: Rome. But cute ☺️ #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder

In #tinyvalley building lots or tenements with no hygiene buildings can lead to a PLAGUE!!! 😱🤢 #indiegame #indiegamedev #citybuilder
