heatmap showing 180 days of commits in a row, from October 2025 to April 2026
I've been working on my indie strategy game for the past 180 days without missing a single one, including Christmas, NYE, Easter and even my birthday.
Now there are 180 more ahead before the release and my motivation is still high. Let's see if all the hard work will pay off.

yes, it's a lot of work, but it's nice to see how things are shaping up
yes, not trivial, but I got some help from a great guy who speaks both languages!
Technically all translations are just maps of strings.
I published a new dev-log that shows the progress I made with my indie strategy game "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror" during the month of March:
store.steampowered.com/news/app/160...
main changes are a new UI, 2 new languages (FR and DE) and more.

debug panels and special dev commands/cheats are the most important feature during development, especially for complex games
new logo for "Virtualord The Virtual Conqueror" with SAGA added at the end
I decided to change the name of my indie strategy game to "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror SAGA" and to switch from an old fashion paid model to a modern and cooler freemium model for the upcoming release.

Done, thanks, even if it looks like the only way to win this is to quit GitHub entirely and to keep your repos private #GoodbyeOpenSource

Let me know if it looks better or not.

VIrtualord DEV UPDATE JANUARY 2026 - 0.5.0 released
I published a new dev-log covering all main updates of Virtualord from last month: store.steampowered.com/news/app/160...
This time I also decided to localize it to several languages (DE, ES, FR, IT, PT). Let me know if you get it in your own language or English.

Yeah, old one is AMD as well, better performance and lower wattage.
Old one works mostly fine, but the battery is dying and charging is faulty, so it's hard to keep it on and I am afraid charging might stop working completely soon
my new Acer laptop
I had to buy a new laptop because the one I bought 5 years ago is almost dead. ☹️
On the bright side I doubled the RAM I had and I gained a 15% performance on the CPU, all this while paying $150 less than what I paid last time.
Now it's time to install Linux and to go back to work on Virtualord!

I implemented multi-language support in my game "Virtualord, the Virtual Conqueror" at last!
For now I am starting with #English, #Italian and #Spanish.
What other languages would you recommend to add next?

MERRY X-MAS written with the defensive walls of Virtualord, isometric strategy game
Merry Christmas from me and all the factions in the Virtualord universe.
They confirmed me there will be a 2 days Christmas truce to celebrate, to rest and to feast together.

I think I found my focus and motivation.
As of today, I have been working on Virtualord for 60 days straight.
The results are a new alpha build coming next week... stay tuned!
Next goal: 90 uninterrupted days of development.

yeah, I can't support every resolution or screen out there, but I want to try to cover all major cases based on the store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/
2K monitor playing my game Virtualord and Qt Creator with the game's code in background
I got myself a 2K monitor (KTC Q24T09) so now I can fix Virtualord's code while playing the game in FullHD!
Proud to say it's refurbished, so I got a good deal and I helped the environment a little bit saving a perfectly fine item from the landfill

unintentional cel shading! 😄
Yeah, that's another good point!
They're hard to see with hundreds of enemies and bullets on screen, but in the end it all depends on your particular game.
Now I'll be waiting for your next experiments 😉
Definitely better than showing bars for everyone 😄
I am trying to decide if I should add them in my game or not, because they give me a casual/arcade feeling I don't really like 🤔
I like it, but it looks a bit too much like Mini Metro (which might be intended)
I prefer the scene without clouds to be honest.
Maybe I'd extend the external grid an extra cell to fill the empty space, but it's all things I would leave at the very last as they are merely cosmetic (unless you're already all done with gameplay ofc 😅)
