Holy.  From a technical perspective, this is insane.  Given the fact that you built a voxel game with NPC's, building and burn interactions within 2 weeks.  While I would argue that this is more of a tech demo than a game, I still had a good amount of fun messing around, even when I wasn't really doing what the objective told me to do.  I also noticed some chunks transforming as I got close, but it was no big deal.

I also personally really liked the narration and felt like I was playing The Stanley Parable again.

Nice work!

Umazing!

Really impressive submission from a technical standpoint.

Couldn't contain myself and burn everything down though.

Chain reaction for each voxel. That's actually smart. Was a bit buggy for me, builder guy didn't do much, then randomly started building and during that the game crashed. Ofc I set the crops on fire and everything else and that was funny hell ye. P good :D

So I am very confused about a lot of things.

The game seemingly runs normally, at 40-50 fps on my 1080 Ti. Unless I look at the God-rays of the sun there aren’t a lot of frame drops.

I burned some stuff, I placed a town, spawning 3 dragoons. I see 200 something stone and lots of wood on the bottom right bar and assume the game is asking me to gather those.

At this point I am scared of leaving my town because I might not find my way back but I manage to carefully collect all the resources and I hit B around one of my guys that didn’t move at all and I manage to remove all the relevant items from my inventory, but nothing happens so I have no idea what is going on. At some point I realize I have some items like houses in my inventory. I try to place them around, they disappear from my inventory but there is no visual indication of where they are supposed to go or what total materials I need. The bottom-right menu shows me a list of materials related to the very last construction related item I placed but when I deliver those items to the town nothing happens probably because they already have an invisible queue of all the other items. I don’t remember where any of the items I “placed” is supposed to go because there is no visual indication.

Night falls, I try to walk around and explore and gather materials because there is nothing else to do. One of my guys have wandered pretty far away at this point so I find him and build a dirt tower to mark his location. I find a river but there is nothing of interest there so I keep wandering and gathering stuff till morning.

At morning, Mint is here and she is inside a little crater with the “town” guy and she SCREAMS and gives me some items that I can’t tell what they are and when I right click the items disappear one by one.

The dragoon that wandered off is properly lost and the other dragoon is stuck seemingly placing yellow leaf blocks? I try to deliver some items to the town but it changes nothing with his progress. I try to place other structure items, nothing changes. I have no way of seeing what the next thing I’m supposed to do is at this point. If I’m supposed to deliver a specific item, the game doesn’t tell me. It instead tells me on the bottom right that I need 1 wood because the last item I placed was a fence.

At night I was starting to experience chunk errors, where a chunk would transform in front of my eyes, appear higher or lower or rotated. On the 2nd day the chunks were transforming right under my feet.

So there are a lot of cool ideas in the game and it was great chill vibes in the first day while I was just farming for materials but I am unable to make any actual progress in the game.

Some suggestions:

• The game should let the player only place 1 build order at a time OR let the player see the details of every build order and cancel them individually.

• There should be a way to easily “find” the location of the town as well as each build and npc.

• Please have a hover text or something on the inventory letting the player know what the item actually is. It is difficult to tell based on the art for some of them.

• Speaking of text, the tutorial voice is fine but it is a lot to take in every time so I wish it was also displayed as text somewhere on the screen that the player can read and remember what to do next at any time.

• Instead of having drop items to town as a button, it would be much easier if, for example, when the player is not in placing mode, right and left click instead interacted with the npc’s and opened up menus where you could see the details of what they were doing and what they need etc.

• Minor nitpick but for items like logs, instead of counting the number of atoms in the block broken, the inventory slot should already know how many atoms make up 1 block of “log” and should do the atom to block conversion and display the number of whole logs it would make. I understand dirt blocks and such but clicking a log and only getting like 60-75% of a log doesn’t make sense.

I know all this is asking a lot for an already very complex game.

I love a lot of the ideas you have here. But unfortunately there are a lot of things that made it really hard to actually keep playing the game as intended.

Very ambitious and proud of the implementation! I ran it on Low and it looked really pretty still! The NPCs and environment was so lovely to just watch change around me. I was able to do some digging and stuff, but couldn't figure out what some of the items were for. 

Great job on the game!

That was neat, nice and peaceful!

I would prefer if the game didn't start with a SAW-esque intro monologue. Gave you the benefit of the doubt that nothing shady would happen; but I got a black screen and stared at it for too long for comfort; so I killed the game process via task manager.

I got spooked too badly to even play the game now; good luck on the other players; but I'm not gonna continue.
