Nicely done. My father is disappointed once again 5/5. It might be a nice feature to have an indicator showing which area is being selected.

Thanks for your comment. And yes some comfort functions could make the game a bit easier and more clear to read.

It's a little UI-heavy and wordy

deathstorm 2018-12-04 19:31

@cloakedninjas That's the spirit of the game idea XD

Thanks for playing

I like the idea of the game, immediately reminded me of civilization. The game was however very text heavy, too much for me. I think making it a bit less text based would be ideal personally. Some sound and music would also have been nice, makes a massive difference(even if you just get something premade)

@olavdeng2 Thank you very much for your comment. Yes Sounds and music would be great, but the time ran up so fast XD

I liked the gameplay a lot! Took me a while to figure out how everything works (like at the beginning I didn't understand that I was missing resources to do stuff and just thought the game was buggy :P), but after that it was a lot of fun! I went with the Lifequality route and managed to win in my first run. :) I think some music and sounds as well as a short tutorial would do wonders to make this game appeal to more people. But overall, the game was great for the limited time you had to create it!

deathstorm 2018-12-05 09:35

@apace Thanks a lot for playing and your very very nice comment. I totally agree, sound, music and maybe a tutorial or so would improve the game. But I guess you know it aswell. The damn time at the end of LudumDare is always the "Enemy" XD

cool game but i thing you the ui wasnt the best and thats bad because its the main thing aou use

Hey, this look like it took a lot of work/effort, kudos! The sheer number of features and options is awesome for a jam game. Great job.

I think it feels a bit sloppy presentation-wise. No audio, some misspellings, no transitions between things, etc. I think given some work on that stuff, it'd be a really kickass conquering game. I'm impressed with what you have in such a short time, though!

This is a very ambitious turn based game, I really like how developped it is for a game made in three days. I like the clever ideas to make simple two choices questions at the start, it kind of remind me of my game.

There's a lot of details, which is great, but it's also a problem because there's so much things to do in a round, and we get no tutorial to explain. It's inherent to all the games in this style made in game jam, it's very ambitious and have a lot of things for itself, but most of the time the dev didn't had the time to implement a tutorial. And also the cursors for tradind/selling are a bit small, but maybe it was because I play in windowed mode.

Overall it's a good game, very ambitious. It's not my type of game but I can definitely appreciate how well he's made.

@toulou thanks for the great feedback. Same goes to all of you here as well.

Well yeah. We (nearly) always come up with turn based game ideas. The good thing might be that we can slowly create a guideline to get faster/more effective to our goals. But still there is the feature creep. I'm really happy to say that we just cutted 2 features out. It could be more. But still we had the time issue which leaded us to missing time for a tutorial or proper balancing. Polish (font sizes and other stuff) as well, of course. Anyway. Thanks for all your feedback!
