As written before, I moved to another country over the year end, started a new job, bought a house, all in a few weeks. Naturally, that put Black Forest on the back burner a little.
Meanwhile, as you can see here my new desk has arrived and I've finally set up my working room. Cat is already sleeping on it, so it will not be long until I start up development again.
The main project on my list is the "planning mode" that I wrote about in the forum. This will dramatically lighten the pressure of logging in every turn, making the game much more playable especially over weekends, etc.
Expect more news to follow soon.

Black Forest is a turn-based multiplayer game about cooperation and betrayl. A strategy, resource-management game about survival. It is set in the forest of the same name in medieval Germany. It is a casual game, meaning that you will spend anywhere from a few minutes to maybe half an hour on it per day.
In the game, each player controls one family in a village that is located deep in the forest. Everyone tries to survive the wolves, bears and worse that come at night. Plant and harvest, gather and build, cooperate and betray. Survive as a community, but do not forget about yourself. Try to survive the coming winter to win the game. Or simply be the last survivor to gain a personal victory.
The core element of the game is cooperation and its limits. At some point, you have to think of yourself first. If your community is strong, others will help you. But the forest will sooner or later overwhelm you all - when will cooperation break down? Will people betray openly, or trick? Is that proposal a trick maybe, or really the best? What role will common ground play? Does the village provide shelter for those who lost their homes? Do you share resources or keep them private? All of these and many other questions will be asked and answered in every game.
