Current Main Rumble Channel link: https://rumble.com/user/Lethn
Rumble is now my primary content farm, I no longer use Odysee.
I've been reminded by people my links and everything are horribly out of date for my main sticky thread. Hope this helps people keep track of what's going on, this should be a lot neater now. I think I will use the comments page to post new videos and I will use this main thread with the development roadmap list and any relevant major release links like the game itself.
When I edit the main post next I will also remember to post the date so that people know exactly when this was last done at a glance.

It's been awhile since I posted but it's for good reason, happy to report that I've got a gameplay video to show you guys. It's buggy as one would expect but I've got the building mechanics just about working smoothly now. Breeding mechanics are all in for the villagers for the most part, I've just noticed one or two silly bugs with things not updating correctly as usual.
Been playtesting this like mad trying to slog through the code, I think I'll get more done now and be able to post more as that was definitely the worse of it. Backups have been made so there shouldn't be any issues if I make any oopsies at this stage. Village capturing is also in to a degree, I need to expand on the miracle behaviour a bit more to make it more consistent so you can build villages and expand your influence properly.
I definitely need to implement a population limit for the villages.
