Hey everybody, there's been no Anthill Village videos lately because I've been focused on building a Steam demo (which is now almost complete!)
As a solo dev, it can be tricky to balance YouTube with actual development sometimes. But somebody from the Discord community suggested I make some YouTube Shorts during these dry spells. They could show off each new feature as I create it.
The latest episode of the Monster Taming & Chill podcast is all about Patch Quest! I talk about my journey to becoming an indiedev, my inspirations for the game, how I managed to fund it and more! And I even reveal some of my secret upcoming plans halfway through ;D
The Patch Quest Backpacking update is now live! (Devlog episode #15 will arrive Monday)
• The new procedural level generator has revamped the whole overworld. • Several new unlockable perks - including a melee strike! • New ammo types give your blaster extra versatility. • Much more!
There's still time to get into the free Patch Beta. Just visit the #playtest channel in the Discord server to join (for PC only) - discord.com/invite/PatchQuest
With the Holiday period behind us, I'm now back to making fortnightly videos. This Friday I'll be releasing a game design breakdown of SATISFACTORY - and at the end of the month I'll be releasing a new Patch Quest update. The big feature this month is dungeons!
Patch Quest can now be downloaded, updated and played using DISCORD, and a big new update has just released! You've gained a new SKILL GRID filled with 20 unlockable abilities (and several other changes have been made as well).
To download the latest version, visit the #playtest channel in the server. Then click "Add To Library". To hear the full set of changes, you can visit the new #patch-notes channel.
This will be how future playtest updates are released for Patch Quest - The old standalone launcher has now been RETIRED. I'd like to thank everyone who downloaded it for being an early adopter of the game!
The Patch Quest Jungle Crawler update has now launched! Just open Patch Quest to get it. The full details will be covered in Friday's video (devlog #8), and if you don't have the Patch Quest Launcher you can download it here: lycheelabs.net/
This month, Patchlantis has been reshaped into a twisting, winding maze that reshuffles each time you play. Minibosses are also making an appearance. Devlog episode #5 will release on Friday, showing off these features & more!
I'll be dropping a new design video next Friday - on Oxygen Not Included. This game has a lot of fresh ideas that I'd love to see in more base builders. Stay tuned!

Patch Quest has finally launched on Steam! Thanks so much for all of your support over the last 5 years!

I'll be premiering a launch video later today.
And next week I'll also be posting a review/analysis video on Subnautica: Below Zero

Sorry about the lack of videos lately, I've been hard at work preparing Patch Quest for the Steam Early Access launch! (in early May)
My video schedule will resume by the end of this month.
