    When you're making the icons it looks like you're using GIMP's fuzzy select to delete the default grey background. Blender can actually output with transparent background. On the sidebar: Render Properties -> Film -> Transparent. You can even add your white outline in blender. Render Properties -> Freestyle -> Tick the box and select the desired line width. Then in View Layer Properties -> Freestyle you can set Edge Type to Silhouette and FreeStyle Color to white. Now you can generate your icons entirely in blender and skip needing to open them in GIMP.

    Awesome start to this project! Your plan to focus on fundamental gameplay systems first really resonated with me - every week I tell myself that's what I'm doing, but I find it so difficult to stick to that sometimes. Excited to see how you tackle it!

      When he mentioned this, first person I thought about was you. I remembered you talking about this in your videos, and it feels like you have been focusing on it these days. Definitely feels like you're working on the important, fundamental systems. Tackling the diving system has been awesome to watch :)

      I have been trying to do that as well with Velaptor. It is easy to be implementing a feature and then think, "well, its easy to do. I might as well add this extra thing right now."
      Then at the end I realize that I have more things added then what I originally planned for a planned release. 🙄

    Hey @ThinMatrix, I spotted a equilinox picture (or maybe printed linen?) at 5:35 on your left wall.
    The community and I don't think about the city builder as failure, neither should you even if you leave the project behind forever. If you are eager to add your city builder to the wall as well, to remind yourself about the acomplishments you had within the project, something you can still be proud of including the community you managed to grow - I'd like to sponsor you such a picture in the same style. It sure as hell would fit below the equilinox project!
    Looking forward for your efforts as always, keep up the good work!

    Wow. Love it so far, couple of suggestions:
    1) the shovel should have durability, gives the player a reason to frequent the shop
    2) crops should have a chance of rotting adds some variety and risk
    3) if weather is implemented, it should affect growth rate and increase / decrease chances of rotting
    4) if animals are implemented, fences should be added to the shop to give the player a way to protect crops
