Devlog #8 - Flood Cataclysm

[h3]Hello Space Settlers πŸͺ[/h3]

We're happy to be back after a looong week of development and events and just dusting off after DevGAMM Gdansk, where Planetiles was nominated for Best Playable Upcoming Game. The Steam event is still up until March 5th if anyone wants to check some indie games highlights from Baltic Region.


[h3]New Cataclysm - The Flood[/h3]

In this devlog we'd like to showcase another devastating cataclysm that occurs in Planetiles - The Flood. Cataclysms usually occur every 500 points and players need to learn their way of dealing with them.



Flood is a cataclysm that results in random tiles dissapearing underwater and emerging as Swamps. Swamps are the barren lands with no real use and don't count as tiles. Floods can be quite deadly when you're on a bigger planet that is largely populated with land.

There are couple general rules when it comes to Floods:

  • Maximum 6 tiles will be submerged during Flood
  • In most times, only the adjacent tiles are submerged
  • Flood doesn't affect already built structures
  • Flood doesn't affect Mountain tiles

Here it is in action:

Planetiles is Steam Deck compatible with a native Linux build!

Hi everyone πŸ‘‹

Just a quick heads up before Steam Next Fest regarding the Steam Deck and Linux compatibility - Planetiles demo runs perfectly fine on Valve's device, with locked 60fps.



With all the support from Linux community, we wanted to give back with a native game build for this platform and you should be able to launch Planetiles on any OpenGL/ Vulkan compatible OS with x86-64 architecture.

Learn more about new demo features and upgrades from the mighty Linux Game Consortium:
