Imperialist - the colonial-era 4X Strategy game where the path to becoming a Superpower runs through logistics, governance, and the slow burn of economic dominance — not just the size of your army. #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X #Aussie

The UI of Imperialist lost me a third of players! But those who worked through it, had the one-more-turn itch. This and much more analysed, after the Imperialist public playtest. Demo coming soon ... #Imperialist #4X #StrategyGames #GrandStrategy #PCGaming #IndieDev #GameDev #gameswithoutai

Play Imperialist for FREE!! There will be a free playtest for Imperialist for ONE WEEK, starting October 7th! Stay tuned for more details ... #Imperialist #4X #GrandStrategy #IndieDev #GameDev #gameswithoutai

Four rules in my 4X game that sound like bugs: 1. A starving worker still smokes his cigar 2. Nobody in the world will sell you food 3. A spy at full strength is never caught 4. Conquering the New World wins you nothing Wishlist Imperialist! #Imperialist #4X #GrandStrategy #IndieDev #GameDev

Added yield icons to tile improvements in Imperialist. One icon per unit produced. A level 4 cattle farm shows four cows, and a port stacks fish on top. The whole point is reading your economy off the map instead of a menu. #Imperialist #4X #GrandStrategy #IndieDev #GameDev

Imperialist just got a visual overhaul! 🎨 Spent weeks rebuilding the UI and art in my solo-dev 4X game Imperialist — new tile art, new UI panels, new everything. Assets from PONETI and David Baumgart. New look or old? Wishlist on Steam. #Imperialist #4X #GrandStrategy #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

From Field to Factory to Cuppa? In Imperialist, nothing happens automatically. You build the plantations, lay the roads, allocate the ships, and assign the workers. Watch one cane plantation become a sugar trade route. Wishlist on Steam. #Imperialist #4X #GrandStrategy #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

Imperialist - The Decision is Yours! You're at war with France, and Spain just declared war on you, and is marching troops through your New World holdings. What do you do? Peace out with France, or arm your workers? Imperialist! Wishlist on Steam now. #Imperialist #4X #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

Imperialist - Classic Depth, Modern Clarity Do you love the deep strategy of classic 90's 4X games, but hate the UI of the day? Imperialist brings the deep strategy of classic 90's 4X games into a modern player experience. Wishlist on Steam now. #Imperialist #4X #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

You might have noticed I've been quiet for the last month. Apologies, I have been really busy making a push on Imperialist, the historical 4X strategy game where you lead a European nation from 1500-1950. Big News! Imperialist is now feature complete! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

Happy holidays & New Year all! Head over to the Imperialist discord: discord.gg/8VpQPuCRKZ, you can find a Xmas present of an Alpha build of Imperialist in the current-build channel! If you do try it out, I would love your feedback! See you in 2026! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

Since moving into Alpha last week, a full code review of Imperialist is underway, to put the code of the game into a good place for moving forward. It might not look like much but every meg of RAM saved, every FPS drop minimised, is a bonus for players! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

Imperialist! - the historical 4X strategy game where you lead a European nation from 1500-1950, has officially entered Alpha! 2026 is going to be a BIG year for Imperialist! Stay tuned for many updates as we progress towards an Early Access release! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

Meet the Merchant, who buys tribal tiles. Improve them for your profit. Builders can "Industrialise" a city, for every 4 of a resource it collects, the city will produce a free processed commodity. And with that, Imperialist is now game feature complete! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

When recreating the Empire the sun never set on you ... invade Poland in 1505AD of course! Tactical combat is now fully integrated into Imperialist, the 4X strategy game about Colonisation, Industrialisation, and becoming the world's first Super Power! #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

National Identity in the 4X strategy game Imperialist is important! I've started to add national identity throughout the entire game. Nations now have names! Currently showing on tile tooltip when hovering over their cities, and on the diplomacy screen. #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

This last week I implemented my first ever GOAP AI! Yah me! As a first pass I'm happy where the AI is at. AI ensures food production, prospects, improves resources, allocates workers to factories, moves armies, and captures neighbouring provinces. #Imperialist #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #4X

Another week on Redcoat Chess. A very basic AI with limited knowledge of Napoleonic era tactics! Also added, a basic Help system, and some sounds so the game isn't so empty. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #Godot4.3 #RedcoatChess

Another week working on my turn-based tactical combat game, Redcoat Chess! Lots of refinement on the game loop, and as mentioned last week, the capture-the-flag style victory. Here you see a battle unfolding, with victory to the blue player. Generals next. #RedcoatChess #ScreenshotSaturday #Godot4.3

Continued work on my Redcoat Chess turn-based tactical combat game. I have a complete game loop! Woohoo! Units battle it out, with their own unique abilities. This next week I at least want to have the "capture the flag" component finished. #ScreenshotSaturday #Godot4.3 #RedcoatChess

I've finished my first video game, a lifelong dream! OK, it's a simple timed word reading game for my elder son, but I'm proud of it 😀 I've got some design kinks to iron out before making it public (I suck at UI design). I'll open source it once it's cleaned up. #gamedev

I know full well I'm going to end up in the Egyptian sha-en-ammu. Cities Skylines 2 recently increased their recommended hardware quite a bit. There's lots of posts asking if all manner of PC Configs will run the game. So I did a shout out to my Gen Xers....

Was at Pax Aus today. Awesome day! Lots of fantastic games on show being made locally here in Melbourne. Really proud of my fellow Melbournians. Met the amazing Meena Shamaly who put together the sound track for Old World. #gamedev #indiegames

Some simple math ...... Up at 5am and hitting bed at 11:30pm yesterday; + Up at 3am today for company meeting (that's US midday for those playing at home) = 3:27pm dead. Gah, I hope I make it through the day! #gamedev #indiegames

Feeling a bit burnt after a few weeks of intensity getting ready for Old World Pharaohs of the Nile release next week. But it's a long weekend and Melbourne International Games Week next week so hoping that helps with revival. 😁 #gamedev #indiegames
