[b][u]Announcement[/u][/b] Hello all! I've been working on this strategy game solo for a couple years now, and am excited to be releasing the first public-facing build [url=https://individualkex.itch.io/orrstead]here on itch.io[/url]. [u][b]Development Status[/b][/u] This is an alpha build - Alpha 0.1? Alpha 0.1. This contains only the first phase of the game, and is intended for playtesting and feedback on the core mechanics. Your feedback and bug reports are highly appreciated. [u][b]Future Plans[/b][/u] The game will have three gameplay phases, with each phase introducing more technology, resources, and mechanics. Only the first phase has been developed, and I really want to solidify the foundation of the game before expanding into future phases. Immediate development plans are: [olist] [*] Based on feedback, make adjustments to the current Phase 1 gameplay loop. [*] Implement various planned improvements to Phase 1, including visuals, audio, UI, etc. [*] Lay out roadmap for Phase 2. [/olist] [u][b]Release Date[/b][/u] When it's ready, which won't be this year. After a couple years of experimental development and trying different gameplay mechanics, the game has settled into a scope and core gameplay loop that I believe is fun, and that I'm confident in being able to finish as a solo developer. However, the game is still early in development, and I can't confidently give a release date yet.
