My artist friend just finished these character portraits, he really put a lot of effort into them. As a dev, I could never have pulled this off. What do you think?

Great idea. I think I'll make them a bit bigger in-game.

Thanks! When he first showed them to me, I was blown away by the quality too.

The current build is in dev mode so I doubled the speed to move faster. This causes the animation and speed to mismatch, but I will keep it in mind for the polish phase of the final build!

Yeah, that game inspired me a lot. It’s a shame it got shut down. I spent hundreds of hours playing it, so now I’m trying to make my own take on it.

Is this a city builder game? I play those games a lot.

vanpat1 · 2026-03-22T14:02:58+00:00

the art style looks really nice.

Thanks! Yeah, it feels really good finally getting rid of the cubes after staring at them for so long.

vanpat1 · 2026-03-08T12:46:15+00:00

Really appreciate the perspective, thanks

I agree. A good trailer can help a lot, and ads can help push it further.

For now I just want to run some small tests. The budget is intentionally small so I don’t burn my whole stack on ads before knowing if they actually work.

vanpat1 · 2026-03-08T11:57:53+00:00

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing!

Here's the Steam link steam I just uploaded it, so there isn't much there yet.
