Managed to get a weekly streak of these dev diaries going... it&#39;s #61! Looking at the timing of sales so far, plus an excessively cryptic teaser for Project OY. https://lunarchippy.games/2025/10/03/diary-61-sale-retrospectives/ #IronVillage #ProjectOY #gamedev #devdiary #indiegamedev #indiedev #steam

The Puritans &amp; 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/ #IronVillage #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #steam #sa...

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/ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #IronVillage

Looking back on 2025... or at least, the gamedev related parts, not the dumpster fire that is everything else. https://lunarchippy.games/2025/12/31/diary-67-a-look-back-on-2025/ Iron Village is still on sale for 30% off if you haven&#39;t snagged it yet! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/ And of course, there&#39;s a Patreon with more sneak previews: https://patreon.com/LunarChippy #IronVillage #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #devdiary #citybuilder #townbuilder

I pushed the actual update out yesterday, but here&#39;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. #IronVillage #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #townbuilder #citybuilder

I&#39;ve been off of social media for like 2 weeks now, but I&#39;m breaking that with a new dev diary. I&#39;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&#39;s part 1: https://lunarchippy.games/2026/01/30/diary-69-some-nice-games-i-played-part-1/ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #devdiary

Iron Village is on sale for Valentine&#39;s... so of course I had to put together a silly little Valentine&#39;s train, complete with heart-shaped puffs of smoke. https://linktr.ee/lunarchippygames #IronVillage #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #citybuilder #townbuilder #pixelart

After a crazy few weeks, including a blizzard-extended February vacation week, it&#39;s time for another dev diary! Still nothing Lunar Chippy related yet though, so here&#39;s more games I played, including brief thoughts on Cities: Skylines 2. https://lunarchippy.games/2026/02/24/diary-70-more-games-ive-played-part-2/ #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #devdiary
