Good game - long tutorial, but it's ok + great story + good realization with cards + suitable audio accompaniment

dawnreaver 2023-01-09 21:51

@huozhedexiaoc when you scroll into the bottom corner with the scroll bars, you get the full screen button :)

dawnreaver 2023-01-09 21:51

@igor-minenko Thank you for your kind words ^_^

dawnreaver 2023-01-09 22:01

@huozhedexiaoc I also added you a Unity Standalone build for downloading the game if you prefer that ^_^

Lovely game! Reminds me a bit of "Reigns" games. I really liked the story of it and how it unfolds as you play your cards. I think what could be improved besides what you already mentioned in your description would be to introduce game states to make it clearer when a certain card is played and what visually show what happens (your crop increases, a certain effect takes place, etc). All-in-all - really lovely game. Good job!

EDIT: Forgot to mention - very well done tutorial, good job on finding the time to include it in the game!

dawnreaver 2023-01-09 23:04

@boostas Thank you so much for your feedback! I am glad you enjoyed the game :3 I know there is lots that I could improve :o I didn't have enough time to implement more feedback, so I tried to focus on the things I had. Deffinately need to look into some improvements post jam :)

Pretty fun game with a cool concept and good execution! Enjoyed playing it and the music is very nice and fitting for the game! Enjoyed playing

unentokku 2023-01-10 06:09

Interesting but lot less interactive than I expected. Is there a reason to not just play all miracles that just give stuff as soon as possible?

dawnreaver 2023-01-10 08:20

@kenguin Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it ^_^

dawnreaver 2023-01-10 08:27

@unentokku Thank you for playing the game! Yes, I would have loved to add more interactivity, but I was lacking the experience. Will deffinately look into this a bit more :)

hayricakir 2023-01-10 21:17

Good looking game, have nice music. It's so relaxing. Good job mate!

dawnreaver 2023-01-10 21:59

@hayricakir Thank you so much for the kind words and giving the game a go! :)

This is actually an interesting and fun game! I like the different cards and there was a little bit of strategy involved. Honestly would have like to see different seasons but was great either way. One little thing was that sometimes the miracle cards would glitch out and display in the middle of the screen along with popping up for only a fraction of a second when you would hover over them.

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 08:12

@turtleflyte Thank you for playing! Gald you enjoyed it ^_^ Yes I did come across this when the scaling issue (see known issues ) happens, but I couldn't figure out yet why that happens ^^' I do want to flesh this out a bit more mechanically in the future, but your suggestion of more seasons is an appealing idea ^_^

This was Nice and relaxing to play, not something I would normally play but felt good and like i said relaxing well done

taikinaaa 2023-01-12 10:25

Great game!

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 13:12

@deadgoodnik Thank zou so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 13:14

@taikinaaa Thank you for playing <3

glaikunt 2023-01-12 20:57

Great Game! was fun playing through. Relaxing music and just making choices was great fun :smile: Awesome Job!

apollowales 2023-01-12 21:02

The music was pretty good and I liked the card system. I would like to effect things more since it felt a bit to Rng based but I think this game has potential and is pretty relaxing.

christian-zommerfelds 2023-01-12 21:58

Very relaxing music!

To be honest I didn't get the game, what decision could I make to help winning? In the end I just ended up spam clicking the deck to get to the end.

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 22:59

@glaikunt Thanks for playing ^_^

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 23:00

@apollowales totally agree! I just ran out of time to introduce more options for you to have an impact. Thank you for playing and the feedback!

dawnreaver 2023-01-12 23:02

@christian-zommerfelds Thanks for giving it a shot! I am aware that a lot more balancing needs to be done to make using the miracles more meaningful! I had some coo ideas to make this happen but alas, I ran out of time :D Thank you for your feedback!

sean-tang 2023-01-13 02:00

really like the concept of the game

dawnreaver 2023-01-13 07:57

@sean-tang Thank you for your kind words ^_^

Cool concept! I couldn't see all the info at the top in the browser (maybe an issue just for me) so I was trying to keep track of my harvest in my head for a bit! The idea of miracle cards is a nice additional mechanic that adds an extra layer. I think the game would benefit from more cards overall (I saw a lot of repeats), and maybe a slightly faster deal - e.g you could get three events at once maybe, which would make things happen quicker and also add an interesting dimension to the divine intervention card where you've gotta weigh up if it's worth losing the good to get rid of the bad. Good music!

nullval 2023-01-13 09:41

Really cool, I love cultist simulator. For this kind of project you really want a lot of flavor text and writing, also fixing possible grammar/spelling mistakes. It's really impressive and appreciated that you managed to get a good tutorial into this game :) good job!

dawnreaver 2023-01-13 14:57

@adam-burt Thank you for playing and your thoughts on the game! The web player has been nothing but trouble XD When the game has started, you can use the scroll bars to use the full screen button :) Definattly planning to expand more on the gameplay and events.

dawnreaver 2023-01-13 15:00

@nullval Thank you for playing and your suggestions! I was struggling a bit with the screenspace so I tried to keep the texts short ish. Deffinitively love myself some flavour text (been playing Magic: the Gathering since 2001). I also tried to keep the setting a bit vague so the player can choose what pantheon this is about :)

yamzho 2023-01-14 16:22

What I liked : * The story telling * How it has been kept simple in the design * How the tutorial has been implemented * The music

What I liked less : * The behavior of cards in your hand. It did not show up all the time when I was hovering them. * I found that the game lacked interactivity. It feels i had low influence on the outcome. Maybe with a bigger variety of cards, this would be different ! :)

Overall, I liked playing the game. Good job !

butterflan 2023-01-14 16:29

Interesting game. I didn't feel my actions doing something in the story, that I think it's little bit sad.

dawnreaver 2023-01-14 23:27

@yamzho Thank you for the feedback ^^

"The behaviour of cards in your hand. It did not show up all the time when I was hovering them." <- Yeah I encountered this bug that can happen in full screen mode due to scaling, but was unable to isolate the issue :<

bastienre4 2023-01-17 13:07

Nice concept, kinda reminds mine. As other stated, it lacks a little bit of interactivity. But it's a well done entry! Congrats!
