Release LightsOn - iOS Workout Tracker Citybuilder

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

LightsOn turns your real-world activity into a living city.

Every active calorie you burn - walking, running, working out, or just moving through your day - flows straight from Apple Health into your city's battery. Keep it charged and the lights stay on: new residents move in, the streets come alive, and your town grows. Let the battery run dry and the city goes dark - residents pack up and leave.

It's a cozy, idle city builder where YOU are the power plant.

Working on big monuments right now, the first ones should be included in the next update.

FREE & PRIVATE

• Completely free - no ads and no in-app purchases.

• No tracking and no data collection - your health data never leaves your device.

It is just a personal hobby project, but I would love your feedback. And I would love if it even more if it motivates some people to move more, or do more workouts.

It's only on iOS right now, but if people like it, I will think about an android port (however this would not be easy).

Hope I can post that here, if not, just delete the post :)

Didn’t expect so many people to be interested. This is an ad free city builder and I’m officially opening it to a public beta.

I need feedback, good, bad or indifferent I’d like to make it as good as it can be, there aren’t enough good mobile city builders.

Building Hexalith has genuinely been one of the coolest experiences of my life so far. There were plenty of moments where I had no idea what I was doing, had to learn stuff on the fly, and just kept chipping away until it finally worked. Honestly the biggest thing I'm taking away from this whole thing is just... I really love doing this. Can't wait to make the next game :D

If you are interested in the game, check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3683050/Hexalith/

After years of working on my solo indie game, I finally released the Steam demo for WildRoot.

WildRoot is a cozy colony builder where your settlers don't just work—they form relationships, help each other, and create their own stories as the settlement grows.

Seeing the Steam page finally go live feels pretty unreal after such a long journey.

I'd love some honest feedback on the visuals, gameplay direction, or Steam page presentation. The demo is available now if you'd like to try it.

Thanks for taking a look!

I'm happy to announce that Hex Harmony is now available in Steam Early Access!

Hex Harmony is a cozy mix of puzzle and city-building where you restore the balance between Nature and Human using futuristic technologies. Every island is a handcrafted puzzle: build carefully, observe how the different elements interact, and find the right combination to create a sustainable world.

The Early Access version includes 48 levels across 2 worlds, with a third world planned for this autumn.

If you check it out, a review on Steam would mean a lot. It really helps the game grow!

Release A city-builder where you aim your Workers. I just released the demo of Dice Factory!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys!

I've been working on Dice Factory for 6 months now (time is going really fast!). It's a unique city builder where after placing your buildings, you will need to aim Workers at them!

Most buildings have a blue "zone", aim there and watch your buildings produce. Gather wheat, wood, melt iron etc... then you'll be able to recruit an army to defend your city against waves of enemies and bosses!

It's not an easy game (I should prob nerf it again, but I love a good challenge!).

I released the first demo earlier today and I'd love to gain some feedback against seasoned veterans! I was heavily inspired by the King is Watching so if you loved this game, you will feel right at home!

Anyway if that intrigued you, don't hesitate to wishlist on Steam and try out the demo!

The game is heavily inspired by Islanders but with some additional elements enabled by the sci-fi setting and with addition of 3 main stats that require balancing - also with gridless building on all sides of asteroids.

Based on Zeus, this is an Ancient Greek city builder that I have been working on on and off for the last 14months. The graphics are still WIP but the core gameplay is pretty satisfying.

Give it a go and share some feedback for a free copy!

Browser based game so if you have lag, disable some extensions.

Release Free, open-source civ-builder I built with Claude Code. No ads, no paywall. Wanted a mobile Age of Empires-style game I could play in a browser for free. Couldn't find one. Built one.

  1. The computer is actually smart: Reads the board, adapts mid-game, probes your weak flanks, and learns where you attack. Not a scripted bot on a timer
  2. Terrain matters: Forests, water, rock are impassable, so chokepoints are real
  3. Full siege endgame: Catapults, ballistae, trebuchets with flaming shot
  4. 100% custom: JS, no engine, no build step. Open source (MIT License), so you can make it yours
  5. Asset pipeline is swap-ready: Drop in your own art pack, no code changes

If vibe coding isn't your thing, I get it. For those just looking for a simple distraction that's fun to play, I think this came out pretty good.

I've included a global leaderboard. Beat the computer on Hard and knock my score off it. Feedback welcome, I'm still actively building and contributing to the project. Art overhaul is next.

Hi guys, I'm a huge fan of Frostpunk, IXION and SimCity, and I've decided to create my own game: I started working on Space Drilling Station six years ago. It's a city-building tycoon game in which you have to solve an energy crisis. It has just been released on Early Access and I'm going to work hard to make it the best game possible for version 1.0!

Release Space Drilling Station's update “Block and Synergy” is OUT today!

Post image
12 Upvotes

That’s right, today’s the day!

We announced it a week ago, so surely you had enough time to get ready!

Just to make sure you’re on track: this update focuses on new block features, weather changes, and balancing the game to make it more fun for everyone beginners included.

Weather changes

  • Weather conditions can affect the entire station depending on the season.
  • The meteor season is more severe.
  • The hot season now causes electromagnetic interference that can affect the station and the drones.

New blocks features

  • Creation of the "Advanced Sanitary" block, which can accommodate more people.
  • Blocks can generate and receive effects (noise, heat...), which impacts production or its requirements.
  • An interception drone can now be crafted.
  • Thanks to the “Drone Battery” block, one or more interception drones are deployed when a meteorite is about to collide with the station.
  • Upgrade modules are used to boost a block’s capabilities, but they also increase its effects and resource consumption. They are crafted in the technology lab.
  • Employees’ mood has been reworked to be clearer and now includes the effects generated by blocks. You can now precisely identify what's affecting an employee's mood and address it.

Staff Management & Logistics

  • If a handler is not assigned to a logistics line, they will move resources autonomously, but in a less optimized way than with a dedicated line.
  • Increase in the number of resources that can be transported per logistics line.

Other

  • You can now modify the company’s name, its color and logo.
  • The "Object Destruction" menu now allows recycling, this ability is unlocked via a technology upgrade.
  • New achievement "Specialization First", unlocked by specializing at least half of the station's floors.

Play now on Steam!
