A screenshot of our upcoming game Amberspire, showing the top right corner of a city. Six resource dice have been rolled but not yet used. The city is doing well, with a small number of terrain tiles around the outside, but they and the buildings are not currently in each other's way.
A screenshot of our upcoming game Amberspire. Resources are being distributed to different buildings in the city, including the Fogbreaker, Cistern, Landing Pad, and Ruster. In the lower left corner, there are two new buildings being constructed: the Chapel and the Fogbreaker.
A screenshot of our upcoming game Amberspire. More resources have been rolled. The building menu to the left is open on the Dice Building tab.

Amberspire will have a physical manual!
It is most useful a reference document for all the buildings, and of course seeing all the lovely art printed on a page.

A screenshot from our upcoming game Amberspire, showing dice that have been rolled and the resultant resources being distributed.
A screenshot from our upcoming game Amberspire. At the edge of the city, the terrain is beginning to pose a risk to the residents, with several houses already being affected by fog.
A screenshot from our upcoming game Amberspire. The lower edge of the city, where fog and rust have begun to intrude upon a sizeable residential area. A Fogbreaker is under construction nearby, so that it can help manage the overgrowth.
A screenshot from our upcoming game Amberspire. One of the factions, Dais, has arrived in the city. To the right is a portrait of one of their members. To the left, a description: The city has drawn the attention of a new off-world faction... Dais Dais are a nomadic religious order in a fervent quest to maintain the corporeality of their god. Small cadres travel the galazy in search of artifacts, converts, and political assistance to maintain the inertia of their faith. It is rumoured that the Dais knights have supernatural abilities, but these are so rarely seen they cannot be resolved. The Dais favor adds two dice storage spaces, and the penalty removes two dice storage spaces.
Build a city on the ruins of an outer space mausoleum, manage resources to construct and maintain buildings, and preserve balance with the local ecosystem.
Oh, and try not to get on the wrong side of the strange factions keeping tabs on you.
Amberspire is out on May 6th!

climbing back into the [redacted] to go back down the [redacted] to make sure they say my ass is fat on my [redacted]
congratulations!! it sounds incredible
my ass is fat and it crushes with the weight of history
im built different (atop a vast cyclopean network of catacombs)
suddenly everyone's a hierarch from the guild of city planners
me personally I would not build my city on top of a cyclopean network of catacombs that buildings can apparently fall into
Amberspire's incredible music is from @mode7games.bsky.social who captured the overall tone of the visuals and writing beautifully. Can't wait for everyone to hear more than just a snippet!
See all those buildings? @nictringali.bsky.social and I have written hundreds of ways they can collapse into the mausoleum beneath, leaving geographical reminders of your city’s history as well as impacting the political machinations of factions 😌
Which can be experienced on MAY 6✨
Shout out to @artofyue.bsky.social and @gryme.bsky.social who did incredible art for Amberspire, they took my vague ideas of a science fantasy city and ran with it
In the third millennium a consecrated justiciar of the Denton region, the demigod known as Big Tex, was burnt to ash in a battle against the sun
lord in heaven
Very cool to see my soundtrack come together with everyone else's work in these recent teasers.
This game has The Vibes in abundance and Nic's thoughtful design is going to be of interest to many of you games people so please give it a look!
not if you're the one making it!
