Got the camp's first bonfire blazing, with sacrificial items to appease the spirits. I even dug a little ditch next to it to minimise the fire risk.

Clearing a path to some ruins, placing raven statues along the path to keep my goblins from getting lost.

Digging a moat is hard work, particularly with tree stumps that need removing.

I wrote about goblin AI on our blog: https://goblincamp.com/2024/03/04/Devlog-Goblin-brains.html I went through a bunch of options before settling on a combo of FSMs and a IAUS inspired system. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, particularly the reactivity and adaptability it enables is really cool. Goblins can pause what they're doing to react to emergencies and then pick up where they left off.

Been working on adding spear fishing to the game this week. Mechanics are in, still need to add some vfx and sfx to make it feel good.

Here's a WIP clip, had to take it since the goblin happened to choose a nice shady spot when it was raining, looked quite picturesque.

My latest village coming along nicely. I'll have to abandon my first field as soon as the last turnips mature, the fertility is depleted for now.

Finished rewriting an item management system today. It's less lines of code, faster, and has allowed our goblins to learn a new thing: If you want a bucket, goblins now know that first they need to chop down a tree, then chop the logs into planks and finally take those planks to a carpenter. Doesn't matter how long the dependency chain gets, they'll figure it out.

If you have 100 followers or less? Reply to this with a couple of screenshots and a short brief of your game / the game-adjacent thing you're working on, and I'll Boost you to my er like, 5.6k followers.

I'll space things out so I don't spam my folks. Can't promise I'll do every single one. But, we just got a LOT of new #GameDev folks here from dying-site who need to find their people.

(I'm just copying eniko here, but it's a very good idea and it seems especially relevant right now)
