Devlog for Skykipelago – A Chill Building Strategy Game in the Sky

Hello, Sky Builders!

We're very busy working on something special... maybe even playable? It's taking up a lot of our time so this devlog is shorter than usual.

Just wanted to check in with you and let you know that we're not stopping.

Take care,
Cheers!

Devlog for Skykipelago - A Chill Building Strategy Game in the Sky

Hello, sky builders!

In our last devlog, we unveiled our latest addition: the Evolution and Happiness Tower. This week, we were working extra hard to make sure that islands' procedural generation wouldn't mess it up.

Like on the screen below...


So we're taking steps to ensure that the towers have their place and don't collide with the islands. And that no bridge ends in the void between islands...


Fortunately, we've already tackled this challenge! Additionally, we've implemented tooltips to display the progress of the towers. As they level up, they grow in size. Now, you can track precisely how many buildings are required to reach the next level.


As always, feel free to share your feedback in the comments section below.

Have a great evening, folks!
Cheers!

Hello, sky builders!

This week, our focus has been on refining the models for two pivotal structures: the Evolution Tower and the Happiness Tower. Now, you might be wondering: 'wait, you can place towers in Skykipelago?'. Well, you can place plenty other buildings. The towers, however, serve a unique function.

Both the Evolution Tower and the Happiness Tower grow as you skillfully expand your city. By reaching higher tower levels, you'll be rewarded with platforms to expand your city, more buildings, and a hefty points bonus.

Initially, our efforts were centered on simply updating the tower models...


However, as development progressed, it became apparent that something was missing. Thus, we made the decision to incorporate dedicated platforms for these towers, ensuring they wouldn't encroach upon valuable island space.


And now, presenting the final version:


What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend.
Cheers!
