Recent brainwave- for a long time I was agonising over the proper roles of various buildings, like the town vault, stock exchange, bastion, etc.- since a lot of the time, their functions seemed overlapping or mildly redundant, but I didn’t want to just throw away all the effort invested in the art. So I decided that I could re-use the art as different stages in a single-structure’s ‘upgrade sequence’.

It’ll need some polish, but I’m pretty happy with how the town vault/bastion/palace sequence worked out. In the meantime, there’s been some more progress with the LibGDX conversion. More at 11.

The art in this game is incredible. The gameplay videos remind me a lot of Age Of Civilization, which is a very good thing.

I will pay money for this game.

Do you think it’s about time to change the title of this thread? I mean you’ve come a bit further than just “Buildings and Concept Art.” Which is incredible.

Huh. Didn’t realise I could modify the OP now. Will do.

Mind control is actually one of the types of psyon ability the player-character can learn, and the palace level enhances range/cooldown on those, so… technically, it’s pretty close.

Anyway, thanks for all the support, and I’ll let you know once I have some major new feature to show off.
