Really like this concept, I like the balancing of resources and trying to keep everyone happy at the same time. The art fits really well and the music loop/sound effects help build the world. You managed to get it quite feature complete as well which is difficult for this type of game in this time frame. I also liked that you went a different direction with the theme than most other people 😄 Really good job!

@chrisbeck Thanks, glad you liked my game 😃

Nice concept, overall a great mood with the visuals and music.

Your take on the theme is cool!

The messages become a bit repetitive fast, it would have been nice to see more of them. But I understand you can only do as much during a jam :D

Cool game!

I like your interpretation of the theme! And art design is simple but stylish and charming. For some reason the game suddenly froze and I couldn't make it to the end( But still a fun time

This is such a great idea! Compact and clear game play with nice graphics, I like it!

@rolly Glad to hear you liked my game. I really wanted to procedurally generate the prompts but had to settle with hand written ones. Something to change if I get to working on it in the future.

@eklbirifine Sorry to hear you had trouble with the game 😢 but glad to know you enjoyed it.

seriously cool game, the vibes are spot on. I like the "simple" but very effective art style. bonus points for the unique take on the theme. all around nice work!

For being made in only 72 hours I'm surprised by how complete the game felt. The music, sound effects, art and writing all come together to form a very cohesive experience that could easily be a demo for a larger game. The only major critique I have would be the lack of variety in engaging requests, which is completely understandable due to the nature of being made in a jam. Really well done!

Loved this entry ! We actually had a relatively similar idea at the beginning but failed to make it original and cool enough. Congratulations ! I love the "Reigns"-like gameplay, good writing and satisfying soundtrack. Keep up the good work :)

I'd buy this game if it was in Steam. Good job!

Screenshot 2024-04-18 215354.png It froze at me at this 4-4, though.

It's so cool that you went with this genre for a game jam and made it pretty balanced and fun! The art is *impeccable* as well.

In my first run I got to 11 days before getting hung by the advisors xD

Such a pretty game ❤️ but after 5 decisions it stops somehow. :(((

@player04 Thanks, glad you enjoyed my take on the theme!

@ski11az Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked my game! I really wished I could get more events in but by the end of day 3, my brain was cooked 😵.

@chronicpain Glad you enjoyed it! I have been rewatching GOT so the idea came to me almost instantly when I saw the theme.

nabil-shelim 2024-04-18 22:21 ♥ 2

@gord10ahmet Thanks, that means a lot. Some other players seem to have the same issue as well 😢 but the bug seems to happen at random times. Need to look deep into it.

nabil-shelim 2024-04-18 22:23 ♥ 1

@denilseven WOW! 11 days is crazy, I could barely make it past 8, and I made the game 😆. Glad you liked my take on the theme. As you can tell, Im a big GOT fan ⚔️

nabil-shelim 2024-04-18 22:25 ♥ 1

@lonthy Thanks, good to know you liked my game 😄. Seems to be a issue when the day ends but does not occur consistently. Thanks for letting me know, I will look into it.

King for 7 days, doomed by priests. I wouldnt be surprised if most people got doomed by the priests. Excellent game!

@blue-pin-studio Thanks, glad you enjoyed my game. Ha! True, while playtesting I died to priests and army the most. Some sort of stat tracking would have been nice. Thanks for the idea, something to add if I ever get back to this game.

Great concept! It gets pretty easy once you understand how to play, but overall its really interesting!

Love the artstyle and atmosphere! I only made it to day 6 before the Nobles got tired of my head. I noticed repeats within the first couple of days, so it would have been nice to see more events. Still, great job!
