Dice Settlers by Jimbly 2023-01-22T21:37:43Z
It s very well done! It was slow at first and yes took a bit of learning at the beginning but once I got the hang of it - oh boy, I was hooked. my only issue was overlays on the tiles being the same black/white even with the tinted background was quite difficult to my eyes.
I liked the art and 1-bit definitely helped! Lack of music was not missed at all in this case, the frequent interactions and their sound effects had their charm and filled the silenced very well.
Played twice got it done under 100 - probably could have done earlier but just did not want to part with my die :| some of the buildings I did not feel the need to explore. harp for instance. Very nice touch of the small hints/narrative upon exploring!
It is very dire in need of a tutorial of sorts tho. I had not checked the guide in the description which added to my own fun but I figured it out in the end. Would have helped a ton if it was part of the game like the initial few steps
In this version at least, it felt like a rush to find the temple and finish it. Resource requirements increased a lot. felt like it s easier/better to rush the temple than build bunks
I really like this entry - well done. you may be on to something here! would definitely be checking this out if you were to continue working on this post-jam
