As you can see, the map is a 524 km wide octogonal. Worked extensively on 45*/90* grid.

Patchland is a relaxing strategy game where you create your own world by building it from scratch using tiles. Connect various biomes, earn points, complete quests, and add animals to the map to create increasingly larger and more beautiful landscapes.

In Patchland you start with an empty space and a small supply of tiles. You slowly expand your landscape by adding more elements. It is a game without rush and without great challenges, perfect to sit down, relax, and occupy your mind with pleasant tile placement.

Is a big week for me as I actually made somewhat valuable. I always liked strategy genre and was aiming for that from the beginning of the dev path. Last decade I tried Unity, got few lessons but skipped as it seemed too hard.

Wasn't easy but with Godot I could actually start understand at least something. I would recommend official Godot courses as I used them and it helped a lot on the start.

So, here we are. I am glad to present a Demo. No matter hit or not, I feel rather satisfied with what I did at this stage :D

Hi everyone!

We are Alex and Valentin, making Beyond Astra, an innovative real-time 4X strategy game offering a unique blend of sci-fi grand strategy, planetary city-building, and RTS combat.

We spent the last 6 years coding a custom engine to experience a seamless scale: you can zoom from your cities all the way out to the galactic view in an instant, with zero loading screens.

In most space 4X games, planetary management is just a spreadsheet of slots and icons. In Beyond Astra, playing directly on planetary surfaces anchors the depth of grand strategy into a concrete, palpable experience.

We recently published a Dev Log diving specifically into the city-building aspect of our game, and we thought this community might find it interesting!

In it, we showcase the different architectural styles players can choose from at the start of a game. We also explain how we adapted the core DNA of city-building to a galactic scale:

• A Living Evolving Population: Cities are the beating heart of any civilization, with billions of citizens simulated in the background.
• Physical Logistics: Resources aren't just global numbers, they are physically transported across the galaxy.
• Scaling up: We share details on the design choices we made (like City Template system) to ensure management stays deep, fluid, and fun, even as your empire progress technologically and expands across dozens of planets.

You can read the full article and see more screenshots here: Galactic-Scale City-Building

We would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any questions you have about mixing city-building with grand strategy!

After a year of development, today I finally released the Steam page for my video game Socialiskigrad, a citybuilder set in a fictional post-Soviet Balkan republic in the 1990s.

It is over a year since I started working on my relaxing medieval city builder game The Merchant’s Eden. It was quite a journey this far. I learned a lot, struggled even more but as the game is coming closer to being finished there is this weird mixture of excitement, fear, joy and self doubt all at once.
There are still quite stress- and eventful times ahead of me before I can finally press the release button, but can’t wait to finally do it.

Biggest learning: making a game is one thing, actually releasing one something completely different. The things that need to happen all around it is definitely something most people probably underestimate.

Storms rolling across the empire 🌧️⚡

Ingame footage from my large scale medieval city builder and RTS set in the Holy Roman Empire (800-1806). Dynamic weather, growing cities, production chains, massive battles and sieges are all part of the experience.

Every wishlist really helps the project and gives the game more visibility on Steam ❤️

After ten years since its initial conception, our colony sim Space Haven has finally reached 1.0. This game has been a true labor of love for us, and with our small team we've put everything we've got into it.

Your colony is a customizable spaceship or station that you build, manage, expand, and defend while exploring the universe in search of a new home. Every resource you find is another piece of survival for your crew, including waste recycling and, in extreme cases, other humans. In space, nobody can know you put Billy in the Composter!

We've drawn inspiration from many cool things across popular space operas and jammed them into the game. If you're a fan of RimWorld, Oxygen Not Included, and other base-building games, this one could be for you.

It would mean the world to us if you checked out Space Haven on Steam.

So I've been going on an internet expedition looking for a specific type of city-building game, but I just couldn't find it. A bit of background for starters, I've purchased Cities: Skylines and went past the hour limit for refund waiting for the game itself to load. And so now I've been searching for months for city-building games that have these attributes (not all, but the first 2 are definitely the most important ones):

• Simple Google Maps style top-down 2D (not 2.5) view: Something that would not put as much strain on trying to load a lot of 3D graphics into the mix, while you could argue some of the attributes in the bottom equate to 3D, it should put less strain on a lot of hardware. I already see games with this map's aesthetic, but they're not actual citybuilders and just puzzle games
• Much of the CS capabilities: the most important here are the freedom of shapes we can have in stuff like roads and rails, we can make it curved, circular, twisty, and not limited to a blocky pixelated aesthetic most 2.5D citybuilders have. To make it clear here, I did not have any hate towards 2.5D pixel style citybuilder, it certainly is a good aesthetic choice, and I still love games like that, but sometimes there are places where curved roads are still needed to represent a city. A good one to have is also the option to route public transport and assign routes and specific vehicles to routes, and watch them go around the city (tbh most citybuilders already have this)
• Optional (cause if such game didn't exist, I genuinely would probably try to learn coding to make it or not depending if next semester will give me more time for myself), a simple asset maker: Make your own asset of buildings with specific shapes and connection (where parking lot is, did it have train tracks that can go through it), think of it as easy as an MS paint (modern one with layering) where we can make layer 1 (or even -1 to -2) have specific shape and layer above it to have different shape, so we can pass a road under a building second layer overhang. Also, because buildings sometimes conform to the shape of the land they inhabit, it would open up a lot more building variety

Now I know some might say something like "Just use MS Paint at that point" and while it's true that it's so simple we could do it in MS Paint, it is a lot more enjoyable to watch those public transport moves in our google map-esque cities than just building the roads, and under the same argument games like "Rule The Waves" can be substituted for spreadsheet and drawing tools

So yeah, I am pretty much looking for this kind of game; the musts are just the first 2 specifications, and I would definitely consider a game if one did exist. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I wish you all well

Sup folk,

I've been working on this game for about a year on my spare time. I release a Demo on Steam a few months ago and have received a lot of good feedback.

Seems the base of the game is fun and people like it. The artstyle is also good enough I think.

I dediced to make this game super small in scope, originally was trying to do one of those Dorfromantik or Islanders types of games, but couldn't crack it and ended up deciding to make a bit more complex so it could be a more fun to play (and replay).

The game is match based. Think it seaps through that RTS is probably my fav genre te play. But I decided to make this game as intuitive, chill, and easy to play as I could.

I've alrady have plans to add a few more things before I can release (ideally Q3-4 this year), for example I want to add roads, biomes, rivers, building upgrades, and stuff like that.

There's also a list of quality of life features that get usually requested; zoom with the mouse wheel is a big one :D

The world is all procedurally generated so every time you play you'll get a different world, and many of the new stuff I have in mind is to make the world more interesting and to tie biomes to resource availability to make things more interesting.

Think the main aspect of the game is that you don't build 1 city, you build many, each with its own local economy, and you hire dudes to haul resources between them. Is not quite trading, is more like actual resource management where you set up what should go were as if the settlements are collaborating instead of compeeting with each other.

This is the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1530850/A_Little_Age/

If you have some time please take a look. I'm going to be on the June Next fest this year and any suggestions, feedback, or comments are greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for your time :)
