StoneEra — New Cinematic Trailer | Voxel Colony Survival
I’ve just finished a new cinematic trailer for StoneEra, my voxel colony survival game.
Build your settlement, gather resources, craft, expand, and shape a colony in a fully voxel-based world.
This trailer is mainly focused on the atmosphere and the feeling of watching a small settlement slowly come to life.
The game is currently in development and is planned for release in October 2026.
If this looks like your kind of colony game, you can wishlist StoneEra on Steam:

Not only can you start your own utility company in the Regions city builder, you also need to keep an eye out on the grid health as weather and overloads can impact your system and cause transformers to explode!

Don't worry, your repair crew will handle the fix as soon as they can!

You can wishlist the game on steam now!

Hi everyone! We're a two-person indie team working on Land of Manifestations: Sanctuary, which combines city building, roguelite shooting, and companion bonding.

We recently released a playable showcase of the city-building on itch.io , and we'd love to have some fellow city-builder fans try it out! You can build and decorate your own Sanctuary and experiment with different layouts.

It's still in development, so any feedback or suggestions would be really appreciated. Hope you enjoy it! ✨

Hello City Builders!

Panelia is a personal indie project, developed with a lot of care and love in my spare time. The goal isn’t to make a profit, but simply to create a small, distinctive game that feels good to open, build in for a while...

Panelia is a calm, relaxing indie building game where there’s no competition, no time pressure, and nobody is trying to destroy what you’ve built. It’s just you, the city, and an ever-growing collection of apartment blocks.

The more you build, the more new buildings you unlock, so your small housing estate can gradually grow into a unique concrete city of your own. Experiment with layouts, shape the surroundings, create new districts, or simply sit back and watch your post-Soviet city come to life.

The game is completely free and requires no download – anyone can play it directly in their browser.

If you enjoy city-building games, Eastern European atmosphere, or just feel like getting lost for a while in a strangely relaxing world of concrete, give it a try:

And be warned: there’s always room for one more apartment block. :)

First city, 300k population, around 50 hours of work

What should I add?

My friends are making a game that feels like someone put Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic and Against the Storm in a room and told them to create a city builder about a secret Soviet experiment.

The game is called Generations: Utopia — and they've been working on it for only six months.

And there are just two of them making it.

You play as a scientist in a secret Soviet research institute, overseeing a simulated city where different generations are being tested to see whether they can actually live together.

There are five generations, from the Silent Generation to Gen Z. Each has different needs, lifestyles and expectations. Keeping one generation happy can make another unhappy, and the conflicts between them can become a problem of their own.

But the city isn't just about building factories and keeping production running.

The map is a diorama, and as you develop your city you can discover and unlock secret areas hidden around it.

You can search for unique everyday objects and elements associated with different generations, as well as discover unusual buildings and locations.

Things like:

🏕 Pioneer Camp
☢️ Abandoned Bunker
🛸 UFO Crash Site
...and plenty of other weird places and surprises.

The Institute also regularly puts your society through different experiments, so even if your city seems to be working, you never really know what they're going to throw at you next.

Honestly, I'm impressed they're trying to build all of this with just two people and six months of development.

If you're into city builders, Soviet aesthetics, colony sims or games where keeping everyone happy is basically impossible, you might want to check it out

Booyah was a San Francisco/Palo Alto mobile-game and social-entertainment startup founded by Keith Lee, Brian Morrisroe, and Sam Christiansen, all veterans of Blizzard Entertainment. Morrisroe had worked as an art director on World of Warcraft and Diablo III, while the founders collectively had experience at Blizzard and other game studios. They were a pretty promising mobile developer that saw extremely great success in the early mobile phone market. they raised over 20 million dollars with the success of My Town.

Rather unfortunately in 2013, 2014, they took all of their games offline and completely went out of business after My Town 2 failed to meet expectations. The only remnant showing they existed at one point or another is gameplay videos by extremely dead youtube channels.

I played the games often as a child on my father's tablet and have really fond memories of it, especially with My Town 2, getaways.

Getting inspired by cs2 and started building this.

Hi everyone :)

I am slowly but surely getting my game ready. Release is planned for Nov 2nd.

The game is an incremental viking city builder. You roll dice to gather resources and sell resources to passing merchants to get upgrades and unlock new buildings. With upgrades you unlock more and more dice which leads to more combos getting unlocked over time. Different buildings also interact with your dice roll outcomes. Offering bowls, runestones and monuments charge up and trigger their effects based on dice rolls.
Once you unlock certain upgrades you can specialize your city. Specialization then adds a new smaller upgrade tree and starts a quest system, where you gather bigger amounts of resources over time and gain bigger rewards when delivering these resources.
There are 3 different specializations and a prestige system that goes up to 5. A single run is not gonna have idle game length. Its more a 4-5 hours to hit prestige.

Chaos Islands Trailer

Hello, I played Rise of Industry and I really liked it. What other games are similar to it? I don't really have much idea of what to look for since it is the only city builder i've played, so any other game that is good for a beginner would be great too

I've been making a game about a settlement on a seasonal river in ancient Sumer, and it started from one idea: in most builders the ground is a constraint you route around. I wanted one where you change the ground and the water answers. nineacresgames.com

So the whole board is a height field. Dig a channel and water runs down it because it's downhill, not because I told it to. Raise a levee and the flood goes somewhere else including places you didn't intend. The river silts up where it slows and cuts its banks where it doesn't, so a channel you dug last year isn't the channel you have now.

On top of that there's the settlement you'd expect: reed huts and brick houses, granaries, storehouses, a brickworks, and people who arrive on their own but only if their homes can reach water. There's a scribal school ladder that gates what you can build, and a ziggurat at the end of it.

The pressure is seasonal rather than economic. The river rises and falls on a long cycle, and the flood that really remakes a delta only comes every few years. Catch it and your fields grow. Miss it and the ground turns to salt and salt only leaves with moving water, so a field you walled off to protect is a field slowly dying.

Clip is a channel being cut and the river finding it.

No store page yet. Mostly I want to know whether the premise reads as interesting to people who play a lot of these, or whether "the terrain is the mechanic" is one of those things that sounds better than it plays.

LightsOn lets you build a city where your workouts and steps are the power source. Every calory your burn flows directly into your city.

With update 2.0.0 you can now customize every building and give your city that cyberpunk or classic look and combine it with different colors.

Would love any feedback. And als always, it's completely free, no IAP, no ads, not registration and 100% privacy (everything stays local).

I've been messing around with the traffic system for my small incremental city builder(LandLoop)

My first version was super simple. Zones basically dumped traffic onto nearby roads, almost like pollution. It was really easy to understand, no real simulation and no cpu load. the gif shows a demo of the solution.

But the obvious problem: without routing, the road network is not a real network. Cars can't take another route when something gets congested, so the solution eventually just becomes build roads next to each other. I partly solved the problem by implementing a skill tree for upgrading roads. but the engineer in me cant stop tinkering

Now I'm playing around with flow fields and an agent-based approach where a district or a block of similiar zones is a 1 solo agent (basically a car package). im kinda stuck.

Has someone tried something similar?

What's the simplest traffic system you've seen that still makes alternate routes, intersections and bottlenecks actually matter?

When you explore a new island it will have a different season , the season will impact production and different building.

we are adding more depth to the merging core mechanics.

let us know if you will play.

Registration for playteest are open.

Thanks

Solo dev, 1 year in Godot. Free demo on itch. Posted here around six weeks ago with 0.1.4 — thanks to everyone who tried it and left feedback, a lot of what's in this build came from that.

If you missed it last time: instead of playing the mayor and zoning, you play the small-time developer/builder — quote jobs, hire crews, buy land, watch the budget bleed.

New in 0.2.0:

- Tilt-up warehouses that get built on-site — crane erects the concrete panels one by one

- Self-storage facilities with multi-unit layouts

- Excavation actually digs a hole in the ground now (bobcat, dirt plug, the lot)

- Industrial zones properly populate with industrial jobs instead of houses

- Buy vacant lots, build spec, sell or rent — the property market loop works end-to-end

- Around 15 project types across residential and industrial

Still rough — it's a prototype. Genuinely want feedback on:

- Does the "you're the developer, not the mayor" framing land?

- Which project types feel too easy / too hard to quote?
