What's new in this update

Two new features have been added to Hearthwall this week.

🪨 Paved Roads

You can now upgrade any existing road into a paved road for 2 stone. Paved roads use a stone-ground texture and grant a +1 production bonus to all adjacent buildings each tick. It's a mid-to-late game investment — prioritize the roads leading to your most productive buildings.

To use it, select PAVE ROAD in the sidebar (below Build Road), then click any existing road tile. Right-click to remove paving without removing the road.

🌸 Season Transition Screen

Each time the season changes, a brief banner now appears in the center of the screen showing the incoming season's name, icon, and current year. It fades in and out automatically without pausing the game — just a heads-up so you don't miss the moment Winter arrives.

Upcoming

Still exploring ideas for late-game content and more building variety. If you have suggestions, drop them in the comments!

Support the project on Ko-fi if you're enjoying it.
