A few months have passed since our last news and a lot of things have happened behind the scenes. So it is time again to show you some progress.
We are currently balancing and testing these (and other) features on new islands, but are still far away from releasing any updates with the new content.

New townsmen and -women

Gone are the town's "clone" days with its pack of grumpy old men, as we have replaced the old model, not just with one new model, but with a whole character randomization system, allowing us to generate new characters with different parameters for age, gender, body type, skin/hair color, and beard style:



When the job is changed, the townsmen and -women keep their personal characteristics and only change their clothing, including hats and tools.
We also added new military units and (head) variations, but they will still always keep their job.

Building upgrades and construction sites

We have replaced the old building animation and added the possibility to upgrade some buildings.


When upgraded, this house will serve as a residence for more people, effectively increasing the population limit.

Building Add-ons

Buildings can now have add-ons. Add-ons are small extra buildings you can place close to the main building to add extra functionality. Townsmen with a job associated with the main building can also work on the addon buildings.
Some examples:


Woodcutters will still cut down trees, but with the saw addon, they now can also cut the logs into boards.


Farmers will take care of farm animals like chicken, cows or sheep in addition to their harvesting duties.
