November has been a month of building, creatively, mechanically, and structurally.

Steam Cities entered a new milestone, and everything is beginning to take on its final shape.

⚙ A New Milestone for Steam Cities

We kicked off a major development phase, and progress is happening across multiple fronts:

• Full component design in motion: food, wood, building materials, storage, scouts, trade agents, sabotage agents, all redesigned as unique, custom-shaped “meeple-style” pieces.
• City illustrations, city upgrades, and updated 3D models are actively being created and refined.
• Animation work has begun, and the visual foundation of our Kickstarter page is now being assembled.
• The rulebook is stabilising nicely, fewer edits, clearer structure, and stronger cohesion.
• Blind testing has increased significantly, guiding the final adjustments to gameplay flow.
• We’re writing, editing, and drafting what may become the final visual design of the game, including layouts, icons, and UI elements.

Our priority remains unchanged:
to enter the manufacturing-ready stage before the Kickstarter campaign begins.

We remain committed to our ambitious goal:
Only 6 months from campaign to fulfilment.
No long waits. No dragging timelines. A disciplined, predictable production cycle.

🗂 The Bureaucratic Road

On the administrative side, we’re preparing for the next funding window in February 2026.
This allows us to keep all focus on development while ensuring every document, certification, and financial requirement is properly aligned.
