Hello, when I download your game i get this error, when I open the .exe: "Eroor: Couldnt load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?, if youve renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)"
hope this helps :)
The game looks good but can you make it playable on the web ?
The description seems very interesting and it would be great to have the game available on the web. Great job!
Sorry guys, my bad 🙏 Just added a web (HTML) version — should work now! https://nullfusion.com/web/signal_cabin/Signal_Cabin.html
Thank mate, i could finally play ! I like the visuals and ambiance. Though i'm a little confused on the gameplay, does the event at the end of a cycle depend on your actions during the day ? Also, I don't really understand how the different stats affect the game (medical supplies seems pretty hard to stockpile and i've been at 0 for a while and nothing happens ?) But i like that depending on your actions there are building that are created, and they help your overall economy. Another thing that i am a bit confused about is the signal power and main and secondary objectives ? What do they do ?
In conclusion, i like it (spent about 20-30min on it) even though the game mechanics could get a better explanation ! ^^ Sans titre.png
Thanks a lot, really appreciate you taking the time 🙏
Quick clarifications:
– Signal affects how many missions you receive → higher signal = more options to cover different needs
– Morale & Trust influence cycle outcomes → how bad (or manageable) end-of-cycle events are
– there are also random events, and even escalation like conflict/war if defense is weak and civilian pressure is high
Still balancing and explaining these systems better — totally fair point 👍
If I push this further toward a full release, I’ll share updates here: https://x.com/ionhaven2073
An amazing amount of detail for a game jam entry! The graphics, UI and the chill music are really a nice fit for the game too. It's good work!
You certainly managed to set a nice mood :) Was all the art and music created during the jam? If so that's really impressive.
At first glance it can seem overwhelming, but give it a few minutes and you will see how nice the game is. Good strategy game. I like the visuals and sounds, very nice mood.
I think on itch, there is an option to add a fullscreen button in settings. It may help make the text a bit more readable on web. (though the other URL seems to work for a bigger view)
This game felt like it had a ton of depth, and that my choices really affect how the playthrough pans out. Very cool, and a really impressive amount of work for a game jam!
My main criticism would be that it could do with some tutorialisation to explain what you're supposed to do, the different stats, maybe some vague indicator of how likely decisions are to influence certain stats.
But it definitely felt very close to a real game which is rarely the case for jams. Clearly well planned and thought out. Great job!
I played your game a bit and it fits the theme really well. You need to respond to signals and solve people’s problems, while keeping in mind that your resources are not unlimited. For me is minus that we don't have tutorial explaining what the resources are and what they’re used for. Also, there wasn’t quite enough motivation to keep playing. I understand that I’ll constantly be losing and gaining resources, but it’s not entirely clear what the purpose of it all is. The AI-generated images are well chosen and reflect what’s happening in the text nicely.
Great visual and music style Đ“nfortunately I was a bit slow with understanding how to play the game at first But I think after 10 minutes I've started to get some sense
I recorded my playthrough of your game with comments. I'm not sure how completely I experienced your game because I didn't understand anything that was going on. I pretty much spend the whole playthrough being confused by the mechanics and annoyed at the AI art.
