Really cool 10/10 would play again
Very well polished game! Great graphics but the stations/resource areas could be highlighted to make them stand out from the rest of the map.
Impressive scope and polish for 72 hours of work. I found the cursive font difficult to read and it was hard for me to distinguish the state of the red/green/grayed out buttons, but other than those usability issues the UI and color palette were beautiful and captured the historical feeling very well.
Really nice graphics and the music sets the tone of the game. Amazing work! I do have to agree with DaleP in regards to the cursive font. A more legible font would make the experience more enjoyable.
I really like the art style, music and the concept itself. Only the font is kinda unreadable.
Love the idea. Not many games are set in an industrial revolution era.
The game looks and sounds great. Love the graphs, atmosphere and the music. I love the industry era and the game feels very historical. However, I find the game a bit unbalanced. Initially I struggled a lot because I could buy licences but I couldn't send things to my capital to sell it. Later i realized I have to borrow money to research and build the railways. In other strategy games I played, taking loan usually is not a necessary thing unless you are trying to expand very fast in the early game but this game makes it a requirement due to the lack to money to start. You can't do anything without railway tech and a railway built. After restarting a few times the game just give up and give me gold and silver next to my starting city which was a nice touch to help the player :) I guess some tuning would make the game a lot easier to get into! Also I found that the research tab cannot be closed in the WebGL version with 16:9 resolution because the close button is invisible for some reason. I had to download the game to play it at the end.
Right, I don't know what happened. Looks great, I really would like to play this. However on the web link the research window can't be exited on 1280x720. When I switched resolutions the x button still wouldn't show.
I love the aesthetic! It also feels very polished, and was overall a very enjoyable game.
Not sure how to get past the "You can move the camera" screen. No keys seem to do anything and I can't see any way to close it.
I can't get past the instruction screen either. Playing the WebGL build and it seems like some of the screen is cut off?
Cool game!!!
The font selection was a little unfortunate but there is something about these simulators which always captivates me for a long time. Great game! Would love an expensive option to automatically send to capital.
The Keybinding help window does not fit into my browser. Can't click OK there.
nice game. i can't play it, but nice game.
new fonts is a big improvent, but you need to think about adaptive UI for differenet resolution.
btw you have paid asset in your sources.
Of all the games we streamed last night on Twitch, this is the one I had to get back to afterwards to play some more. It took a while to realise I could borrow money, that could have been in the tutorial pop ups. Speaking of which, it felt like a lot of reading to do at once, progressive pop ups (as you click on a city, the research panel, etc) would have been nicer imo.
After a short while, I wished for 'send all' and 'sell all' buttons because I'm lazy that way, but overall really enjoyed your game. Great job :)
Thank you nanimono. I disabled the link to my repo and looking for a way to get make them not public. For anyone who is wandering what this assets were:
- TextMeshPro a tool for displaying fonts in a higher quality
- Script Inpector 3 a Script Editor for Unity
- Unity Standard Assets (it's free)
- CurveLineRender a tool fore displaying lines with rounded edges
