Off-Island Trade + More! Indie Factory Game Devlog (Unity)

WISHLIST the game here! http://bit.ly/lumbermill-wishlist

In this Unity indie game devlog I finish up working on the Trade systems from last time. I've added a dock, rail carts, finished the pixel art rail sprites and improved the algorithm responsible for generating the shallows around each island! I've also finally released the EP I've been working on for the last year! Links below:

⮞ Description ⮜

I'm finally back to making devlogs for Lumbermill, my Unity 2D Indie Game! In the last devlog I'd just started to get to work implementing features for the game's trade system. In this devlog, I continue that work - finishing up the main pathway for trade (trade collector to rails to dock). I've also made improvements to the UX design of the trade interface to make things run a bit more smoothly, and also reworked the shallows generator to make islands look quite a bit more polished. It's good to be back into making these videos after Christmas!
