The Guild 3

Greetings, aspiring business owners!Welcome to our 7th dev diary! Last time we talked about goods and items; now we want to expand on this and focus on in-game economy and the effects of global events on your playthrough.

Herle is a small map, designed to keep you focused on the essentials of the game.A new filtering system for highlighting buildingsYou can now select what is highlighted by the building overlay and choose to filter by your buildings, all profession buildings, all city-owned or private structures, residences or resource sites such as mines or woodland areas.New and tweaked animations to reflect the activities of workersWorkers are now visibly working on their tasks, and ever
