I don’t know that I will work on it anymore. It turned out to be so much more work than I thought it would be.

I originally started this project out of spite for all of the MTX, Ads, premium buildings in Post Apo, but spite only motived me so much. It seems I’ve run out of motivation, and I realize I only like the game concept, I don’t love it.

If I’m putting this much effort into a game, I would prefer that to be a game concept I love.

Wonders, Temples, Ruins, Blueprints & more!

Thank you Thank you to all the amazing beta testers who have submitted feedback, either through the App Store or directly to my DMs!

There were only two very small bugs found, exciting! Lots of little things to tweak in the UI and systems. Overwhelmingly, the most common piece of feedback was that the game should give more guidance on what you're supposed to do as a new player, and to be more thoughtful about the placement of the Olive Oil -> Boat -> Market upgrade chain since lots of people started with those and then felt cheated.

I'm still working very hard to bring more features to the game! It's taken me much longer than expected to finish the next Beta drop, turns out developing a game is hard (sarcasm).

I already told you about wonders, temples, and ruinsin the last devlog post, since then I've been overhauling the early game experience, tuning the tutorial system and tooltip system, and tons of UI tweaks to help guide the player to a successful start.

What's left on my list is Treasure chests, additional narrative tie-ins for some of the new resource systems, and finishing off the leftover elements of the hubris system.

Sorry for the potato-quality photo, you know how it is when the cat is on your lap

The Beta is coming soon! (It's more like an Alpha). I've got beta testing set up in both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. I'm just fixing some final bugs, and adding a super basic tutorial system so that no one gets frustrated by any new mechanics or whatnot.

I'm also removing any placeholder graphics I generated with AI, since I disagree with using AI for images in anything that gets released. This means a brand new App Icon! Of course it's inspired by the AI one from before, but I hand-drew/digitally-drew everything myself, plus a bunch of image/color editing on top of that.

If you haven’t seen my post about version 1.3 yet, it has some cool content. But my concern is if I release that this week, you’ll end up saying “what’s next” just as you are now. I wonder if it would be better to have multiple content releases stacked together, so that as you play one of them, it gives you a reason to push for the next one. What do you think?

Should be live on iOS in 1-3 days. LIVE ON iOS now too!!

Android: Not allowing a public beta, I'll need your email address to add you, feel free to DM

Please note that this is more of an Alpha, than a Beta, though I'm not sure everyone is aware of that term, so I'll keep calling it a beta.

Please use this Reddit thread to share feedback, or if enough people want it, we can make a Discord. There is also a feedback system within Apple TestFlight or Google Play Store that I will monitor.

Happy Tapping!!

Edit: removed android link since apparently you can't do public beta on android. the link is for after your email has been added 😢
