Wishlist Amberspire on Steam, out May 6th!

Amberspire developer/designer Nic's written notes: Friction types, for dice rolls - Rolls are grouped by region - no - Penalty when resources isn't used - startinig to feel like this idea won't really come together without multiple other systems - Affect population Dice friction affecting population - When a symbol isn't used, adjacent pop goes away? Probably very harsh
Many of Amberspire's features first came together on paper. We went through a *lot* of ideas figuring out how dice would work in a city builder, and finding the right balance between too-low stakes (boring, predictable) and overly-harsh penalties (frustrating, progress-halting).
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
A screenshot of our upcoming city building game, Amberspire. A science fantasy city is steadily growing, with a number of Resource and Terrain buildings nestled among residential ones. At the city's edge are a number of weather tiles: Rust Bloom, Floodplains, and Slow Fog. In the lower left corner, a Fogbreaker is under construction.

A screenshot of our upcoming game Amberspire, a science-fantasy city builder, without its UI/HUD. A growing city surrounds a central chasm, with many residential buildings in all directions. There are also a number of dice, market, and terrain buildings amongst the residents, with additional chasms occasionally breaking the ground up.
"As production on The Banished Vault came to a close, I knew I wanted to make a city builder. I also knew I wanted more dice."
Lunar Division & Bithell Games' next title, Amberspire, is out on May 6th! 🌇
I saw Amberspire right at the beginning of its life, and it’s amazing to see how far its come. The UI, the art, the vibe is gorgeous.
Can’t wait for May 6th
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 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.

If you're a fan of...
🌇 City building
🧮 Strategy
🎲 Dice
🪦 The ruins of an enormous mausoleum that forms strange, bottomless chasms on a long-abandoned moon (don't worry about it)
You'll probably quite like Amberspire!
Out May 6th, wishlist now.
Can't wait to get my hands on this and to talk to Nic all about it at the FÍS Games Summit this April! Woohoo!
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✨

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!

Thank you to the recent folks leaving positive reviews for The Banished Vault, it is very helpful. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't aggravated by the top two 'helpful' reviews being mixed in text and negatives in the algorithm. If you've played the game, leaving a positive review helps us a lot!
