Dev Diary #2 - Base Building Prototype

Hello, Explorers! 


In our latest dev diary, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most important features for Lysward: base building.

We always planned to include it in the game. But as a small indie studio, we had to make a tough call early on. We couldn't get base building into the demo at a level of quality we felt good about, so we chose to focus on polishing what we could and save this system for later.

In this dev diary, you will see a very early work on what our base building is going to be, and that means rough looks and placeholder visuals. Also, because it’s so early in development, those features might change in the future.

👉 Watch it now:

We're not sure about when this is coming to the game yet. We're working on it every week, and we'll keep sharing progress as we go.

And as always:

✅ Wishlist Lysward on Steam

✅ Play the free demo

✅ Leave a review! We're reading every single one.

Thank you for sticking with us. More dev diaries are on the way! Stay hydrated out there
