Iron Village is on sale for Valentine's... so of course I had to put together a silly little Valentine's train, complete with heart-shaped puffs of smoke.

I pushed the actual update out yesterday, but here's a belated post about the 1.2.14 update for Iron Village: https://lunarchippy.games/2026/01/13/diary-68-1-2-14-release-notes/ Also includes an overly detailed explanation of one the bugs I fixed.

Looking back on 2025... or at least, the gamedev related parts, not the dumpster fire that is everything else.

Iron Village is still on sale for 30% off if you haven't snagged it yet! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/

Quick update: Iron Village has another patch - fixing some issues with achievements and making save files less insanely huge. (I ran into a 19 MB save file in the bug report π)

The Puritans & Capitalism Sale for Iron Village started yesterday, but rather fittingly I was sick and had a fever for the past two days... anyway, you can go buy it for 30% off on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/) or Itch (https://lunar-chippy.itch.io/iron-village), and here are some very short release notes to go with it: https://lunarchippy.games/2025/11/22/diary-65-0-2-08-release-notes/

A new dev diary, this time about a concept I made up (that probably already exists): Semi-Automation!

Also, the biggest teaser of project OY yet!

Surprise, another update has landed! Mainly just for Android compliance reasons (16kb memory page sizes), but there's a few bug fixes for everyone!

Managed to get a weekly streak of these dev diaries going... it's #61! Looking at the timing of sales so far, plus an excessively cryptic teaser for Project OY.

The Iron Village 1.2 launch has gone pretty smoothly! Just in time to switch work to a... project OY?
It's Dev Diary #60! https://lunarchippy.games/2025/09/26/diary-60-1-2-launch-the-future/
#IronVillage #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot #devdiary
As per usual, there's a quick update the day after a major release: https://lunarchippy.games/2025/09/19/diary-59-1-2-03-release-notes/
Also, the Google Play update is delayed - apparently my privacy policy needs to literally say "Privacy Policy" at the top, and this hasn't been enforced until right now. π
