Dear friends.

Because images are better than words, I'm happy to share with you this very short video about everything I've been working on during the last month.
NOW WITH A GOOD MICROPHONE OMGGG
Here's the points we go across during this 2min. devlog:

• Automation of the wood
  
• New sources of income multiplier
  
• New special currency for unique upgrades
  
• New types of colonists
  
• Special buildings interacting with colonists
  
• Bees!
  
• Meta-score

As always, I'd be very happy to know what you think about all that.

Dear friends,

I'm making good progress on the development.
I've been lucky enough to find a place to live for the summer and I'm working full time on Idle Colony.
I've got a strong deadline for releasing the game this year and I have a solid idea of what all the features will be. (It's all written down in my GDD)
It is now all about production and it feels good to have a precise plan when going forward.

I wanted to share with you the progress made over the last couple of weeks so you have the opportunity to tell me what you think.
I thought the best way to do so was through a concise video, so here's my first Idle Colony devlog:
(It's only 2 min long!)

Yes you can roast me about my mic... Next time I'll have access to my usual recording gear.

Long story short here's the main points I've been working on:

-Rework of the fertilizing feature and it's automation, there's now a new type of colonists: the farmers.
-Introduction of the buildings: they help categorize the upgrades and sweeten the progression curve.
-Optional pathfinding optimization to make the game playable on a wider range of machines.
-Ton of various QOL including the transparency when drawing path
-A brand new tutorial that's non-blocking, skippable, more precise, and more polished.
-A new prestige animation.
-Last but not least, keys rebinding, wow!

Next time we'll talk about the stuff I'm the most excited about: the full rework of the technology tree and all the features that comes with it.
