Hey #PitchYaGame! I'm making a "pre-Civ" stone age 4X with nomadic tribes, complex foodwebs, and in-depth characters. Coming July 2026! 🦣 Wishlist FOLK EMERGING: store.steampowered.com/app/2275300?...

super cool, also reminiscent of early sedentary foragers in the wetlands of Mesopotamia, been reading about them in Against the Grain, here's a couple relevant excerpts

damn, what a sad and anti-climactic ending to the story of Etemenanki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etemena...

implemented river flooding! 🏄 here's a small before & after of how some of the weather phenomena in my prehistoric 4X game affect their tiles #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

here's a little teaser of some new weather phenomena and terrain transformations that i'm adding to Folk Emerging ⛈️🔥🌊🌿 these create a much more dynamic environment to navigate, survive, and thrive in #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

🏄 what's that floating down the irrigation canal? another little teaser for late-game content i'm adding to Folk Emerging? (actually, the surf emoji just made me wonder... surely there were some bronze age kids that found ways to surf in the channels, right?) #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

awesome to have you host #TurnBasedThursday, @songs-of-silence.com! i'm working on the late-game content of Folk Emerging, the stone age 4X that comes out this July 👀 check out the demo on Steam 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/2275300/...

something shiny this way comes 👀 having fun implementing the late-game Mining and Metalworking systems in my stone age 4X ⛏️ #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

for anyone into seafood, good news coming soon! the seas will be coming to life in the next Folk Emerging update #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

i'm quite happy with the custom modifier system i made for my strategy game 🎮 it makes it easy to programmatically fetch a list of everything that affects anything in the game, which is useful both to players learning the game and to me as I balance the various systems #gamedev #indiegame

one smilodon, coming right up!

what a wonderful review for my game's demo! these kinds of moments are a huge motivator to keep striving to make Folk Emerging the best it can be 🍻 huge thanks to everyone that's checked it out and given feedback or left a review :) can't wait to share the full game! #gamedev #indiegame 🎮

yay, got to 10 reviews on the Folk Emerging demo, and 90% positive! huge thanks to everyone that's checked out the demo, given feedback, and/or left a review! I really appreciate it :) I update the demo frequently based on feedback so keep letting me know what you think 💛

lots of diagrams that quickly become outdated. and the blur here is just an authentic recreation of how it starts to look after staring at it long enough

to all #TurnBasedThursday participants, thanks for sharing your games! if you've replied to the thread, please repost it as well 🙏 a rising tide lifts all boats etc :)

Folk Emerging is featured in #TurnBasedThursdayFest, which just started! The Featured Reveals Showcase is LIVE now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtaT... Go check out all 450+ awesome turn-based games ☝️

The updated Clan system in Folk Emerging creates ever-changing tensions & synergies within your tribe that play out differently each time you play ⚖️ Check out the demo 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/4352180/... Cheers @ichigoichiegames.bsky.social for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!

The recent demo update overhauls Clans: each one now has Influence, e.g. based on their clan head's reputation, how many bands they lead, specialists, etc. Differences in Influence affect Clan relationships, which now have a bigger impact on your entire Tribe. PLUS PIE CHARTS! 🎮 #gamedev #indiegame
