Our Freedom - Wishlist now!

Economic Updates and Player Shops 💰 From now on, every item in the game has its own base price, which is determined based on the difficulty of obtaining it and its value within the game world. Depending on a variety of factors, a item’s base price may vary: the merchant, the player’s reputation, location, competition, and a few other less significant factors. So, if you want to sell the fish you’ve caught in a fishing village, the price will be significantly lower than in other settlements, since there’s high competition and low demand there. However, if you sell bait or fishing rods in that same fishing village, the price and speed of sales will be significantly higher. Each settlement has its own main specialization (except for the kingdom’s capital), so to sell different goods, it’s more profitable to distribute the appropriate goods to the corresponding settlements via your stalls. And now, in fact, you have the option to rent your own stall in every settlement. By default, a base price will be set for each item you specify, but you can lower or raise it, which greatly affects the speed of sales. Pricing also takes into account the item’s quality, rarity, and remaining durability (if the item has this parameter). #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

📜 From now on, settlements have notice boards, while the surrounding forests and outskirts are dotted with bandit mini-camps. At this stage, the boards offer contracts from the locals: delivering provisions and building materials, or clearing out small bandit hideouts. Inside the camps, you'll find not just groups of enemies, but also chests filled with randomized loot — from food supplies and resources to slightly worn weapons and armor pieces. Players aren’t forced to chase down every notice — you can easily just walk past them, or stumble upon a camp along the road and clear it out without taking a quest at all. In the video, I'm showing how completing an order to craft an iron axe looks like 🪓 #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

Map Exploration and Fast Travel ☁️ At the start of the game, the entire map—except for the player’s starting location—is obscured by clouds. As the player explores new locations, they gradually uncover them, thereby clearing the clouds. There are also carriages at key locations that allow for fast travel between them. To unlock a carriage, you must first reach the location on foot. I’ll check the balance later and may limit fast travel 🚶‍♂️ #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

🧭 From now on, players may encounter one of five mini-events along the way. At this stage, these include helping villagers, encountering enemy or allied patrols, ambushes, and traveling merchants, which are planned for the near future. Players aren’t required to interact with these events—they can simply bypass them—but the number of interesting gameplay situations on the road has increased significantly. The mechanic was blatantly stolen from KDC 2, which stole it from The Witcher, which stole it from TES 🤝️️️️️️ #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

🍎 You can now find fruit trees in the game world To harvest them, you need to wait for the fruit to ripen (3 to 6 days, depending on the type), and then by shaking the tree, you can collect several ripe fruits or berries: apples, pears, plums, and cherries. I decided to add this mechanic during testing when I noticed that there simply weren’t enough berries at the start of the game, and simply increasing their number wouldn’t be very interesting. You can find these trees both in villagers’ orchards and right in the middle of the forest. #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

Hey, have you been missing Our Freedom? Now players can set up a banner and name their settlement! Plus, a bunch of new mechanics are already halfway to the game! #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #pixelart

One of the best tips, in my opinion, is to come back after even a brief break in development and quickly implement something small—like a micro-mechanic or some minor detail. In my game, the player didn’t know what time it was, nor did they know how much money they had until they opened the trade menu. That’s been fixed now 👌 I’m still thinking about whether to add the time in the usual 00:00 format, since it’s a bit out of place with the game’s setting It seems like a very simple thing, but it allowed me to quickly get back into development and recall the context of my recent tasks. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #devlog

I've finished the new mechanic — fishing 🎣 It's essentially a small ecosystem within the game world that's closely intertwined with many other mechanics. Fishing becomes a full-fledged craft that begins with careful exploration of the surrounding world. Players craft their first gear literally from nature’s bounty: they search for bones scattered in the thickets to carve their first hooks and collect feathers that fall from birds as they take flight. Using this system, the player progresses from the simplest tackle — a bone hook and a fiber rope — to a full-fledged set featuring a forged iron hook and special fishing line. The gear is fully modular: the player can carve an advanced, flexible rod from a plank, rope, and beeswax, which will allow them to cast the line much farther and provide a wider control area when reeling in fish (in the mini-game). Any part of the fishing rod can be freely disassembled, combined, and upgraded to suit your needs. The bodies of water have become a living ecosystem that responds sensitively to the time of day and the weather. At dawn, schools of fish appear randomly on the water’s surface — if you aim your float at such a spot, the nearest fish will spot the bait and swim toward it, and a successful hookset guarantees a noticeably larger and heavier catch. It’s just as important to keep an eye on the weather: during rain or thunderstorms, the fish become much more active, and the wait time for a bite is significantly reduced. The fishing process itself combines precision and excitement. Using the power indicator, the player determines the ideal casting distance, and as soon as the float dives sharply underwater, a mini-game begins. You must skillfully keep the balancer within the moving tension zone while reacting to the prey’s constant jerks. At the same time, every fish you reel in is truly unique: it has its own behavior during the catch, as well as individual size, weight, and quality. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames #indiedev #colonysim

Hey! We've already reached over 50% of our funding goal! Hurry and get your copy of the game — and at higher support tiers, you'll have the chance to create your own quest for the game or get your own statue in the game world! #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #kickstarter #projectwelove

Second trailer of Our Freedom is here! In this game, you play as a guy who has to rebuild a destroyed settlement. You have to build production lines, provide the villagers with food and heat, and protect them! In addition, the game puts a lot of emphasis not only on urban planning, but also on the RPG component. Trade, craft, exchange, complete quests, and much more! #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames #colonysim #kickstarter #projectwelove

I'm adding one of the game's key characters ✍️ #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames #indiedev #colonysim
