Finally, an update about gameplay!  I swear we're basically done with the "let's make that rendering prettier" stage for a while.  We can get back to what matters: simulated social behavior.

Well it looks like somebody is a fan of saws.

This looks like it could be really cool.

Spent the day reading up on marxist labor theories of value.  I have no idea what effect this will have on our game.

My hopes, they are dashed. And sometimes, dotted.

This excites me for some reason and I don't know why.

So have you guys made any progress or given any thought on sound design? Not just the world sounds and whatnot but music too, since that's a rather big factor in creating atmosphere and so far everything you've done will be oozing it, all it needs is some sound icing on the atmosphere cake to make it all the sweeter

[Citizen Daniel]

Yeah!  The music and sound effects are in full swing actually.  We've written a dynamic music system, where @zath has written several layers of music for each track, each one representing a different sense of tone, such as progress, battle, insanity.  The game keeps track of the events in the settlement and chooses which most important few layers of music should be played based on what's happening.

There was a blog about that at one point, wasn't there? It's been a while, but I remember some music samples posted and talk about the dynamic mixing based on colony mood.

[Citizen Daniel]

You're right, I had forgotten about that

Here's the blog post, complete with some clips.

It felt like the right time to put together a teaser trailer with some of the stuff we've been working on.  Check it out!  Now I can sleep forever. 

(Also the new site has screenshots)

Once this game is released, I shall never be productive again.
