Welcome to our fourth Dev Diary update! Today, we're diving into one of the most exciting systems behind the growth of your village: the Technology Tree — the roadmap of progress in Rise of the Settlement.

The Technology Tree is your village’s path from humble beginnings to an organized and flourishing society. Each discovery in the tech tree unlocks new buildings, quests, production recipes — expanding both your strategy and your story. More to come...

You’ll begin in a primitive age, where survival is key. As you advance, your people will master new skills, refine resources, and even unlock governance and trade systems.

Every technology node brings new gameplay:

• 🛖 New buildings (e.g., Clay Kiln, Smokehouse, Trade Post)

• 📈 Production efficiency improvements

• 🧭 Expeditions, quests, and deeper economic systems

• 🧠 Hidden synergies that evolve based on your choices

• 💱 Trading mechanics, including barter systems, market unlocks, and dynamic prices — all gated behind specific tech discoveries

• 🧩 Additional quest slots, expanding the number of active missions you can manage — unlocked through tech and story progression

As always, this is just the begining.

I am working on a fully interactive Tech Tree UI, styled like a parchment scroll with ink-drawn connections between technologies. It will make it easy to track what you've unlocked — and what lies ahead.

We're also planning:

• Unique branches based on how your settlement develops (e.g. agrarian vs industrial paths)

• Unlock requirements tied to population growth, profession levels, or previous quests

• Tooltips and progress tracking to plan your strategy

I am currently refining:

• Research speed and balance

• Early and mid-game tech pacing

• How technologies interact with villager skills

This is a living system, and we’ll keep updating it based on your feedback and playstyle.

Thanks again for walking the path of progress with me.

Stay tuned — there’s much more to uncover in Rise of the Settlement.

Hello Folks, we added a lot of missing features.

• Fix Subtitles and missing ingame help/notifications
  
• Fix delay when player "dies"
  
• Add switch for fullscreen/windowed mode
  
• Add switch for resolutions
  
• Add option to change ingame volume
  
• Minor code improvements
  
• Replaced model of Phasergun (yes there is a hidden gun)

Also the game has now translations for german and spanish language.

This marks a huge milestone for us. For the past months, we’ve been pouring our hearts into building something strange, personal, and atmospheric — and now, for the first time, you’ll be able to step into that world yourself.

Expect eerie nostalgia, corrupted memories, and unsettling mysteries, all wrapped in a fictional operating system from a 2005 that never quite existed. If you've been following the project or even just curious about it — this is your chance to explore it firsthand.

We’d love your support:
📌 Wishlist the game on Steam
👁️ Follow us for updates
💾 And mark your calendar — the demo goes live this October.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. We can’t wait to hear what you think.
See you in the system.
