After a long break from game development, I’ve started to work on a new project, Imp City.
Imp City is a toy project, inspired by the old Dungeon Keeper and Settler games. It’s about building and maintaining an underground kingdom and keeping your creatures happy. It’s light-hearted with a touch of silly, and will focus on management more than on combat.
At the moment there is only one fully functional production chain. You can order your imps to mine copper and tin ore, which they will bring to the nearest workshop type room, where Conians will produce bronze coins from the ores. The coins then go to the treasury.

The archives include start scripts for Windows and Linux. It needs Java 7 or newer.
The project grew out of my older “Hunt for the lost rainbow jewels” project, that’s why it shares the same codebase and most of the assets.
Some day I hope to provide some sort of manual in this place:
At the moment there is just a brief overview of the UI buttons and the creature species.
Feedback is welcome
