Welcome to our ninth blog post, Saving! Given our recent completion and integration of saving, we'd like to take a moment to explain how it effects the game.

In this, we'll be showing off some of the innerworkings of our Structures. This includes a full overview of both integrated and planned content.

We'll discuss each Structure's purpose and how they tie into Moonrise's RPG-like system.

This is our first video officially showing off some of the gameplay within Moonrise. We wanted to highlight a bit of everything- from starting off, to building a small base, to establishing an army, to exploring the world and advancing your warriors, with swathes of combat interl…
