This is great. It definitely is Totally Not Settlers. Obviously there's a little bit of influence from Settlers but the defense building and multiple worker aspects make it a completely different game imho. And it's really good! The only think missing was some nice relaxing music. Great work.
This is _really_ elaborate. _Nice_ work! With a bit more polish it'd honestly feel like a commercial product. I'm going to have to come back to this one later for more.
It's a bit complicated, but the Art is great!
Game feel and plays great. The graphics are really nice. For some reason I could not build mines, so I never got metal tho... It said building cant be placed here for every place and with every character i had...
Very nice game! It took me a while to understand that i needed to stay on a tile to gather resources but as soon as i figured it out everything went smoothly :) I really liked the use of the theme and the exploration feeling. I think that a relaxed background music and a couple of sound effects for the tile selection and movement would add to the experience. Overall a great submission, well done!
@ausstein It requires to be placed on top of a mason hut with a worker. I need to check later if the description is not well explaining enough. Thanks for pointing that out.
@aayph cool:) will try another round later maybe :) Another thing: I often forget to move people that i can still move. I know you already have the indicator but maybe do it similar to civ where it asks you for every still active unit i before you can end your turn. Maybe I'm also just too stupid :D
Turn-based strategy is a complicated genre and I think, it's hard to make one during such a short period of time. However, you managed to do it. I like game design and simple visuals, well done.
A beautiful looking game! I feel like I was running around in the beginning too much, so I wasted a lot of turns there. The idea with the workers is very nice, though it feels very slow. It would be a lot more entertaining if you would start with an explored area and some kind of tutorial on what to do though. Still a nice idea and even more impressing concerning the time you had for creating this game! I will come back and give it another try later.
Cool game! I really enjoyed it and it seems like a really difficult game to make in just a few days! It only needs sounds (and a tutorial)!
Had not reminded me of any popular or existing Euro-style board game whatsoever.
Wow, that's pretty amazing to have done in a weekend. Only think lacking is some background music. Small improvements: - At the top left, I must click on the little number box (meeple information) to select that character. Should be possible just by clicking the entire info box. - It took me quite a while to understand how to get wood. I thought I would have to enhance the tile, like with the others, but no, just stand in the forest. :) - Some info saying you can scroll in and out with mouse wheel, and move map around with right click, would also be nice :)
Nice entry. Controll is a bit uncomfortable but game was fun to play!
Fantastic Entry. No Downsides
Complicate to understand at the begining but a good game overall :) Good job !
It reminded me of a board game from my childhood. (The game was about the Vikings and the Imperials, it seems, I don’t remember)
Very cool game! It totally embraced me for some time.
Nice resource management game, I like the mechanics, quite simple that you need to leave the worker on the place to produce the resource, but I think this should be explained in advance, as its not so intuitive.
@aayph Just played another round understanding metal now. Realy cool. It's tough but winnable :)
Nicely done. I wish the picking was better though, as I accidentally skipped turns when I thought I clicked on a peasant to move it, but the game didn't register it. Good graphics, but could of course have used some music. :)
Very enjoyable and detailed game, surprised you got all this done in only three days. Sound is definitely a must and some of the descriptions were lacking (how/ where to place buildings) but everything else was very good.
Good job! :)
This is fantastic, you should have just thrown in some suitable royalty free music to perfect it. Most of the critique are about the lack of any audio.
Interesting little turn-based strategy gem. The collection mechanincs were not fully intuitive, but once I understood it it made totally sense. Unfortunately I'm not patient enough to play it to the end, but still very well done!
