I love idle games, so I enjoyed this! Gameplay is a little shallow as there isn't much to do, but I like the premise of the player being a wizard manipulating the actions of a village. Seems like a nice test of your ECS library, too!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it 🤗
I really liked the write-up of the lore; that was cool.
When I reached the win condition, the game crashed for me:
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Sorry about the crash, I’ll try do dig into that. It was going to just display a message box, you’ve missed nothing fancy :)
I don't know what an appimage is but it worked great. (I had to figure out how to resize my virtual machine because the screen wasn't large enough.) The graphics really are great, and make you wonder about the world. I particularly like the white tree top right, and the colonists. There is a lot of nice detail in this game.
I didn't finish the game because it takes a while. If you had some engaging mini-game in it, it could be a lot more captivating. I also wish I could select colonists via the rectangle method, i.e. dragging the mouse and generating a selection rectangle.
Thank you very much for your feedback! Happy that you liked it :)
I’ll definitely think about minigames and drag-select.
Impressive game! AppImage worked like a charm
Thank you! 🤗
It is a nice game!
The feedback to the input is kind of slow in terms of gameplay, and sometimes it was hard to click on NPCs.
It was fun reading their names while waiting for mana to regenerate :)
Thanks! 🤗
The balancing is indeed not perfect. Character picking also takes some time getting used to.
I knew adding the names was right move :)
I like the game graphics. Game was a bit slow, and not always clear to me what was going on and what my progress was. Could not build a workshop, it did substract the mana but not the wood. Being bundled as an Appimage made it very easy to run.
Thanks for the input! 🤗
I was kinda aiming at meditative pace. Nothing is more relaxing that watching other people work 😅
