µRealms Devlog #4: Game loop and Islands

Hello,  future  realm-builders!
It's time for another update from the world of Micro Realms, where your divine powers shape the destinies of tiny civilizations. Today, I'm excited to share a significant breakthrough in our game development journey – the introduction of a stable and engaging game loop that promises endless fun and strategic depth.

A New Beginning on a Micro Island

Your adventure in Micro Realms now starts on a quaint micro island, a small piece of land brimming with potential. This island is your canvas, and how you develop it will set the stage for your realm's future. But don't let its size fool you; to truly thrive, you'll need to look beyond the horizon

Expanding Your Realm: The Path to Prosperity

As your civilization grows, so too will its needs. More resources, more space, and more opportunities for expansion become paramount. That's where the new island expansion system comes into play. By using your divine powers, you can purchase access to neighboring islands, each with its unique offerings. Some islands may be rich in resources, others inhabited by mysterious creatures, and some might offer the much-needed space for your burgeoning population to spread its wings.

Gather, Build, Explore, and Expand

The essence of Micro Realms is captured in these four actions: gather, build, explore, and expand. Each island you acquire adds a new layer of strategy and decision-making. Will you focus on resource accumulation, prioritize the construction of new buildings, or perhaps venture into the unknown in search for creatures? The choice is yours, and each decision will shape the destiny of your realm

Today's Development Focus: The Island System

Aside from finalizing the game loop, today's development efforts were dedicated to laying the groundwork for the island system. It's a complex feature that promises to add depth and replayability to Micro Realms, and we're just scratching the surface of its potential.Stay tuned, realm-builders, as we continue to explore and expand the world of Micro Realms.

Your feedback and support are invaluable to me, I can't wait to share more exciting updates in the future.
Until next time, may the realms flourish and the islands prosper!
