Hello! I figured if you liked Factory Town Idle, you'd be interested in the sequel I'm working on for the original game.It's called Factory Town 2: Paradise, and in this game you are building up a tropical island village and feeding a sentient volcano with trains, conveyor belts and catapults.The Steam Next Fest is happening now, so I built a free demo you can try out. If you like it, give it a wishlist and you'll be notified when it launches in about a month!Here's the store page with demo / wishlist links:
To all lords of Zhenbao Pavilion,This minor update includes the following:Added subtitles to Heavenly Mystery event unlock prompts at each level. Now you can more intuitively understand what is happening. For example, the Level 3 prompt "Beiming Xuanwu, Po Zhe Jing Yuan" includes the subtitle "Unlock Heavenly Mystery Event — Xuanwu Blessing".Modified the Vermilion Bird skill \ to increase Purple Crystal drop quantity. Removed the previous setting of doubling Purple Crystal push rewards. This makes the effect more tangible and better aligns with the coin pusher's core gameplay of pushing more treasures.Beautified the coin patterns in the beginner tutorial. They are no longer garbled text, but now proudly display "Zhao Cai Jin Bao" (Inviting Wealth and Prosperity).Remade the Chinese character title in the logo to better match the logo's texture.Added "Launcher Sensitivity" adjustment to the game settings.Optimized fade-in/fade-out for the black mist special effect in "Abyss Gamble". Now the effect's appearance and dissipation are more natural.Thank you for your support and feedback!
Hey everyone, it’s been a while (do I say that a lot?) So I’m not here to ruffle any feathers or yank any chains, but I do want to let you know that pox and I have been workshopping a lot of ideas lately. In fact, we even put together a little teaser image: We needed a healthy break after SD2, but it wasn’t long before we started dreaming of effervescent, multicolored glass bottles once more.Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all of that.I can’t confirm any details about the teaser yet. New content? New game? It’s complicated! All I knew is that I couldn’t come back to the series unless I could do something a little bit… different. So I’ll leave it at that.But here’s the other thing, friends. I’ve actually been working on a brand new game for the last… well… three years at least? It technically started while we developed the Primal Lands update, but it gets messy.It’s a hand-animated, tag-team battle RPG with a heavy focus on building combos. It’s not quite Soda Dungeon, but it may scratch that turn-based itch for you.So I’ve got a big favor to ask…. Would you mind checking it out? The demo is available as part of Steam Next Fest RIGHT NOW!Wishlists would be a huge help too. I staked a huge chunk of my game dev reputation on this project; help me get it across the finish line and maybe I won’t get fired from my imaginary job as an Indie Game Developer that somehow still exists in 2026?(I’m mostly kidding, but getting some eyeballs on Signy and Mino will make it MUCH easier to keep the lights on over here ;)

Challenge Store Changes Following player feedback, Time Bank costs have been reverted. While the previous changes were intended to increase the value of Challenge Points, many players felt the new costs reduced the usefulness and enjoyment of the Time Bank system. Time Bank costs have been reverted to their previous values: 15 Minutes → 5 Challenge Points 75 Minutes → 25 Challenge Points 180 Minutes → 50 Challenge Points 360 Minutes → 100 Challenge Points I'll continue monitoring Challenge Point balance and Time Bank usage as the Homesteading update rolls out. New Challenge Store rewards are coming soon. Bug Fixes Fixed Time remaning being incorrect on some Imbuing altars. Fixed Raw Yak Haunch item name being incorrect.

Hey Villagers! 🪵 We hope your little Knacks are keeping you good company and help you building some nice floating villages on your screen. 🥰 We just wanted to do a quick shout-out for some indie friends of ours who are making another awesome (and really cute) desktop companion game. It's called Tiny Capsule Collector, and it’s a super cozy, ambient idle gachapon shop that runs quietly at the bottom of your screen while you work. You get to set up little vending machines, collect cute capsule toys, and watch animal customers hang out.Since it has that same relaxing, low-pressure background vibe as Emberlands: Desktop Village, we thought some of you might really love it. They have a free demo live right now, so if you want another tiny world keeping you company on your monitor, go give them a look! 👇👇👇 Have a great, cozy week! 🥰~ The Tiny Roar Team

A Tower Defense Game Joins the New Games Festival
《Idle Immortal Sentinel》A Tower Defense Game Joins the New Games Festival
Prayer A brand new skill joins the lineup. Bury the bones your enemies drop to train Prayer, anything from common bones up to dragon and abyssal bones, with the rarer drops worth far more experience. Unlock altars as you climb, a gold sink that multiplies the experience every bone gives you. There are three altars to work toward, each a steeper investment than the last. In combat your prayers draw from a points pool that drains as you fight and refills with every enemy you put down. Twenty-two prayers fill the book. Raise an overhead ward to block an incoming melee, ranged, or magic blow outright, or call on the offensive and defensive prayers to sharpen your accuracy, hit harder, and soak more damage, all the way up to a handful of elite prayers that roll several boosts into one. Select an enemy and the book tells you exactly which ward stops its attack style.Thieving The second new skill introduced with this update. Pick a mark, anything from wandering townsfolk and hooded zealots to market stalls, armoured guards, and a locked rogues' chest, and help yourself to whatever they are carrying. Stalls give up the goods they sell, logs and ores and fish and gems, while people carry coin, food you can eat mid-fight, and on the richest marks the occasional piece of rare gear. Every mark has its own pockets to pick, and stalls visibly empty out as you work them over. A botched steal freezes you on the spot for a beat. Your odds climb as your Thieving level outgrows a mark, which means the best play is always the richest target you can rob cleanly. Chain clean lifts together to run up a streak that pads your coin. Seventeen marks wait in all. And three new foods round it out: bread, cake, and a richer chocolate cake, lifted straight off a baker's counter with no cooking required.A reanimated companion Your character got a brand new idle animation, redrawn from scratch with more than twice the frames and a smoother, livelier resting pose. It is the thing you glance at most,...
