As you said there's a lot of bugs, but there's still a game to be enjoyed here! It seems you have a nice sart to something and you should be proud of that. :)

This is ambitious—I wasn’t able to get far in it, but as Kent said, there’s definitely the beginnings of a fun game here. The voxel art’s well done. Nice work.

the game looks interesting! I tried it but i guess i will wait for the post LD version since it stopped working at all while playing.

I've tried the game, but it somewhat doesn't really work (the controls are given in the bottom, but they don't react in any way - character is still stuck in the first turn on place).

It does look ambitious though!

Very interesting game! I would have increased the ambient lighting a bit, the harsh black shadows made the game feel a bit too drab. I also think the AI should have taken their turns much quicker, but a nice start!

I really like the graphics. But I couldn't get the game to work on either firefox or chrome. I tried a few times. Would like to see what the game is really about.

thanks everyone for your feedback everyone!! @zgragselus and @virtuaworlds the LD version does launch on windows but is unplayable, for the post LD version we may put up a new version and maybe even a windows build for the +3days but it'll be after the end of the ratings.

The style and layout of this game is awesome, I wish I could play more but there were a few bugs in the web build. With some bug fixes and maybe a bit more in game instruction on the controls/ui, this could be real sweet!

As others have said, this is a nice start but did not contain much playable gameplay from my attempt. The world is beautiful and the background music fits perfectly, giving it a very nice ambient feel. Unfortunately, all I could really do was walk in a circle around a hut while my camel was either ravaged by or made excellent friends with some wolves. Great start though, would love to see this developed further!

Seems like a nice start, I like the graphics but the gameplay is pretty limited. I think the biggest issue is the delay between turns - it took a minute before I even realized that I was waiting for each AI unit to move. Combining/speeding up the AI turns or adding more to do in each player turn would help a lot. I was eventually able to collect some resources from a building and give them to my camel, I think this could be an interesting game you develop it further!

Good news a new version is out just in time to see the end of the ratings ^^

anyway it fixes a few bug, implement a few things that were made but we hadn't the time to use, and improve the balance a bit.

overall the only fully new things are the appearance of the lakes and a bit of pathfinding. Both were added in the +3d version
