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.

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!

Turning Points: The day job is coming to an end, but what are the plans for Iron Village? And what's this about game #2?

https://lunarchippy.games/2025/08/11/diary-55-turning-points/

I'm also gathering thoughts about Patreon - does it make sense for game development? Is it "too greedy"? Is there a reason it's common in adult game dev but incredibly rare for most other games? I'm really curious to hear people's thoughts.
