Really damn beautiful :O

Holy cow this game looks gorgeous!!! I wasn't sure what I was doing at first but I quickly got the gist of it. Really nice idea, I really like how polished the visuals are (only nitpick is the 'Restart' button on the game over screen)

Wow, I enjoyed that very much. The art is great! and there is some neat decision making on wanting to be nimbler with a smaller amount of followers, have one huge group or spamming congregations all over the map while one guy is channeling. It did seem like the castle did nothing, or are these just spawnpoints for the inquisition?

Thanks for the comment and yep, castles are just spawn points.

This is a great Lovecraftian game, I really love the art and the theme running throughout the entire experience. I found it really easy to just ball up with 1000+ followers and move into the nearby towns to collect devotion until I could summon a portal. The towns on the lower end of the map are almost too close.

I love the beautiful graphics. But I hope that the game can be more challenging. So far I just can move to the next village and do the same simple things

How is it even possible to create a game of such scale within 72 hours! Great job. Beautiful art style and effects. Quite interesting mechanics, even though the concept was a little confusing at the beginning.

*clicks channel*

*percentage skyrockets*

They built that fuckin' doom portal real quick. None of that waiting for the stars to align bullshit! Here we go lads, doomsday's upon us!

zsolt 2018-12-06 17:09

vlad-ilisan 2018-12-06 21:25

Great art!

captaingim 2018-12-07 11:57

Looks amazing! Any chance on macOS port?

Very very impressive. I like strategy games and yours was really cool. I wish there was more base-building involved.

captaindreamcast 2018-12-07 18:55

I did it, I managed to save humanity from its bright future of peace and lack of Yomh’uiggdu! My favorite strategy was creating a second summoner early and putting him in charge of summoning the portal while summoner #1 takes a roundtrip around the world.

The map is absolutely gorgeous and gigantic, the art in general managed to create a great lovecraftian mood. The sound effects also helped with that, especially the whoooosh and chanting sounds when you gather followers or devotion. Loved it!

Thanks for playing everyone! We've updated it with some much-needed bugfixes today, should be more playable now

@captaingim We've built a webgl build, you can play it on the itch.io page! Hopefully that works, as i don't have a mac to test it on!

@captaindreamcast Thank you for playing! Managing multiple summoners is difficult, since it's hard to keep an eye on them all, i personally never had luck with that approach! Thanks for the kind words!

Really great art, and a huge game for a short project. Very nicely done. I found the controls a little difficult to get down, but it all hangs together with some practice.

drauthius 2018-12-09 13:00

Lovely graphics, and quite an ambitious entry! I like the strategic depth you've managed to get. I had some trouble with the clicks when selecting and moving, and I couldn't get my guy into the Easthearth village at all.

groggi 2018-12-10 19:26

Love the handdrawn graphic style! Overall really great work!

pranjalbisht 2018-12-12 13:15

It's insane you managed to make this in 72 hours! Love the sketchy art.

shieldgenerator7 2018-12-13 21:18

looks pretty but i couldn't tell what was going on because i couldnt zoom in close enough

also it has nothing to do with ponies :(

paulhocker 2018-12-18 03:10

really well done effort here -- a lot of rules in this game which show the effort you put into it -- thanks for making this

Lovely graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UvsNqUUFv6I
