Great little management game.

Good Work!

gamejuv 2019-10-08 16:37

loved the game so much! I like that you can make some cake in the end. The soundeffects are awesome haha

luminawi 2019-10-08 16:51

idk why but I couldn`t stop playing, cool game :D

Nice little management game. Why "notoriety" though, that word implies you're getting famous for doing something bad?

fax 2019-10-09 09:35

@hajden Notoriety (for me) mean that you get famous, in a good way in this case. But sometimes indeed, you can get bad notoriety. I may use a good/bad bar in a futur version. Thanks all for your replies.

This is a really good jam entry, I really enjoyed building up my farm empire and creating mini towns! The ordering-people around system also worked very well as well as the trade system. However when you get a chicken coup people want that toothpaste looking thing when you have to save up money to get that, but I couldn't get any money as everyone wanted that and I couldn't afford it. Overall, with a bit of work this could turn into a really good commercial mobile app, and it's a really good jam entry!

@black-flag Thanks for your comment. I know that my game need more balance (the chicken coop and the eggs needed) but i was out of time. I am glad you appreciate.

I really enjoyed the time I played this game. I love it. But honestly, the first stage was a little hard to understand.

pedro-rosa 2019-10-09 23:31

I liked the game it was fun to play :)

tom-adams 2019-10-10 01:27

Great Job with with one guys! Keep it up!

fax 2019-10-10 12:46

Thanks all. Yes @hiro-e the first stage was a tutorial but, it was so buggy that i decide to don't publish my game with it.

steffy 2019-10-10 14:25

This little game amused me for way longer then it I imagined it would. Very addictive. Well done.

jam373 2019-10-10 14:37

Really fun game!

barracudadisaster 2019-10-10 14:42

Cool little farm management game. Simple graphics, simple gameplay, simple audio, very nice. First time when I clicked my minifarmhand I laughed because of the "YES" sfx :laughing:

brandon-anderson 2019-10-10 14:44

I got to a point where I was making cakes like a mad man and had like eight pastry shops back to back, but couldn't keep up with the demand of my delicious treats. However, at some point a bug happened and I could no longer click on the customers. Each spawned customer wouldn't highlight or have their trade popped up. The buildings were fine, not sure if it's a bug with a pooling system (if you're using one). Otherewise, I put in like 15 minutes into the game so good job!

fax 2019-10-10 17:03

@steffy Thank you for your feedback. Happy to see you appreciate.

@jam373 Thank you ^^.

@barracudadisaster Glad you appreciate. The "yes" is like an easter egg for warcraft 3 and age of empires where peasant always speak with the player ^^.

@brandon-anderson Unfortunately I could not fix this bug that sometimes appears. Each building and Cereals Fields are available for only one peasant. I don't have enough time to introduce this information in the game. 15 minutes were enough for finish the game ? Thanks for feedback.

This is great! I got 382 before stopping. Really relaxing, and I love the art style too.

One thing I think would be a great addition is some kind of jumping off point, something to aim for. In Stardew Valley you have the two year thing, where after 2 years you're given a rating. You can keep playing after that as long as you want, but for people looking for a goal they have that to aim for. Perhaps trying to reach as much notoriety as possible before a certain date? And then players could have a reason to go back and try again with a different strategy.

If you have no jumping off point, the reason every player will stop playing is because they got bored, often it can be better to finish before reaching that point. But I think that some people WILL want to carry on past that point, so it should be an optional jumping off point rather than forced.

Great job with this! Really strong entry!

thebearcrab 2019-10-10 18:44

Really fun to play!!! I accidentally got a house stuck inside a chicken coop though

honey-pony 2019-10-10 19:11

Cool game! It took a little while to figure out but then it made a lot of sense and went pretty smoothly. The only problem I think is that it takes so much cereal to get the stable, because by the time I had enough guys to generate cereal fast enough, everybody wanted milk, and then I didn't have enough money for the stable.

Aside from that, the art and sound is good and the gameplay is pretty fun.

cybersoftuk 2019-10-11 06:21

Really liked this! I didn't understand what to do at first even with selecting the little guy but figured it out ("Yes!"), the game's pretty fun to play, i like the simple graphics and the sounds are nice, i served most customers but ended up with mostly negative notoriety for unhappy/unsatisfied customers where i had ran out of produce, not sure what the rate is there?. it might be nice if you could hire workers (at a cost of course) that would help you gather more supplies within the time you have as i find i have to wait even though i have the buildings in place. overall really nice game that was surprisingly fun to play!

gamebuilder 2019-10-11 16:22

Fun game! The speedup and pause controls are very handy (I just wish I had noticed them sooner). I like the bitsy graphics a lot!!! Good work Fax. You have the gaming spirit.

kenster 2019-10-16 03:49

Very nice! Graphics and mechanics are all great. Would like to see more expansions!

fax 2019-10-18 15:24

@joeshanahan You're right. I had to give some temporal objective, but that was hard during the jam. I had to realize all graphic assets in the last 6 hours, that was not in my organisation time. Thx.

@thebearcrab Thanks for reply. Yes this bug occure when your mouse is just outside the collider but still on other building.

@honey-pony Thx a lot. Yeah the balance of the game isn't perfect. At the end of level, you will earn too much money ^^.

@cybersoftuk I'm glad you appreciate the game.

@gamebuilder Thanks a lot. I sadly don't have enough time to introduce all features in a good way (like other buildings, how to move farmers, how to use time controls,...)

@kenster Thank you to your feed back. I hope a day i continue this game, maybe transform it for a mobile game ;).
