Super exhausted from @godotengine@mastodon.gamedev.place Con , so a couple of days late, but...
Iron Village is on sale for 40% off as part of Steam's Train Fest! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/ #citybuilder #pixelart #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev
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.

Hard to believe Iron Village has been out for a whole year! To celebrate, the 1.3 update is now out, including a couple of bugfixes, a new train, and placeable growable trees! https://lunarchippy.games/2026/03/24/diary-72-1-3-02-release-notes/ for full release notes.
Replying to
@lashman Very cool, looks great aesthetically *and* functionally! My only complaint is that the revenue estimate is off by an order of magnitude for me: https://steamograph.com/games/3011060
Not too surprising, since there's not much data to work from, but my bank account would've certainly preferred your figure, lol.
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!

Looking back on 2025... or at least, the gamedev related parts, not the dumpster fire that is everything else.

Iron Village is still on sale for 30% off if you haven't snagged it yet! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/
And of course, there's a Patreon with more sneak previews: https://patreon.com/LunarChippy

Managed to get a weekly streak of these dev diaries going... it's #61! Looking at the timing of sales so far, plus an excessively cryptic teaser for Project OY.

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/

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.

The Iron Village 1.2 launch has gone pretty smoothly! Just in time to switch work to a... project OY?
It's Dev Diary #60! https://lunarchippy.games/2025/09/26/diary-60-1-2-launch-the-future/
#IronVillage #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot #devdiary
After a crazy few weeks, including a blizzard-extended February vacation week, it's time for another dev diary! Still nothing Lunar Chippy related yet though, so here's more games I played, including brief thoughts on Cities: Skylines 2.

I've been off of social media for like 2 weeks now, but I'm breaking that with a new dev diary. I'm heads down on Project OY, which is still unannounced, so instead written a little bit about the games I played in 2025. It ended up getting too big, so here's part 1: https://lunarchippy.games/2026/01/30/diary-69-some-nice-games-i-played-part-1/
Quick update: Iron Village has another patch - fixing some issues with achievements and making save files less insanely huge. (I ran into a 19 MB save file in the bug report 🙃)
https://lunarchippy.games/2025/12/04/diary-66-1-2-09-release-notes/
I finally got over my self doubt and did it - Lunar Chippy Games has a Patreon! https://patreon.com/LunarChippy?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
If you feel like throwing extra money over, you'll get access to pics of the game in development, in addition to our deep gratitude!
Surprise, another update has landed! Mainly just for Android compliance reasons (16kb memory page sizes), but there's a few bug fixes for everyone!
