Nice.

Everything was working fine until all the goblins just froze and I couldn't get any more stone to spawn new goblins. They all just stopped on the middle of my map.

Nice game, though...

Nice work, love the sprite work! Reminds me of the good ol' days of warcraft!

munchor: It's not made clear, but goblins go to the campfire (Looks like a ring of rocks, notably lacking any fire) to eat. If there's no food, they just wait there. I'm guessing that's what happened.

Very nice sim.

Good Job I liked having to get my own stuff and whatnot.

Nice game. Overall it was fun to do stuff and watch your goblins do stuff. Although they were very lazy breeding new goats until they had to.
Nice work, had much fun playing it.

Very nice. I enjoyed this. Especially the sounds effects.
Pixel graphics for the sprites were great, backgrounds could use some work.
I'd like to be able to lead a goblin raiding party! Please keep working on this!

A good start for a strategy game. Any plans to make a more complete version, some day?

myachin 2012-12-17 15:06

nice but where are villains?

boxerbomb 2012-12-17 17:02

this is one of the best game so far

A game with a lot of potential. But without a real goal it all seems pointless. I really love the sounds though, nom nom nom!

I liked the game, especially the sound effects.
I understand that you didn't have the time to finish the game as you originally wanted to, but I still think it could have had some simple goals (like get X amount of resources, raise your population to Y members, etc).

This is a nice relaxing game, fun to play and watch the little goblin go about his life.

They felt like living characters and that was very enjoyable :)

Well done!

It's a very good start. I hope you continue to develop it.

Thumbs up for nomnom sounds :D
Cute rts like. Would be nice if you could assign jobs to goblins. Looking forward to the pillaging part of the game. Loved the animations aswell :D

Awesome feel to the game. An objective would have really helped, I didn't really have anything to work towards. Also, I felt as though there should have been music.

huhwhozat 2012-12-21 07:57

I'm sad there wasn't any time to add a goal. Just building up is surprisingly fun though! I love the sounds! Although the sprites were very cute, having the gobbos walk behind buildings really detracted from the experience for me. Even if you didn't have time to implement pathfinding, I'd have prefered them to appear on top. I'm afraid I can't give you much for theme, as all there is at this point is a loose tie-in to Dwarf Fort. Overall, I enjoyed it!

i love the freeform nature of this, designing cities in the goblin plains, watching it slowly grow

i wanna play a version of this with more stuff

norgg 2012-12-21 15:15

A nice start to something, it becomes a bit easy once you've got a stable source of food and stone though, would be nice to have something to be fighting against. The omnomnom sound is great.

aare 2012-12-26 14:49

I like when the gnomes make "OMNOMNOM!" sound xD

fishbrain 2013-01-01 11:38

"Nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum" lol
Nice work!

mcc 2013-01-05 07:44

didn't get very far, but i liked what was there (and i enjoyed the sound effects)

azurenimbus 2013-01-07 05:06

Interesting elements in this strategy game. Nice use of the goats, too, one of the best I've seen :D
