Nice visuals and models. The task queue system was a good feature. A time acceleration feature would have been good. You got plenty done though in the time. Good job

Developer

Thank you, thank you! The task queue was pretty opaque to the player but it was robust at least, thanks for noticing :)

Time acceleration was definitely in the plan but it just came down to getting basic functionality in at the end. Thanks for checking my game out!

Cool game! I loved the models and my favourite was the gnome model. I also really appreciated the "queue" feature to queue up tasks for the gnomes. I did experience a small bug where when I unlocked the apple plot, I was unable to actually pay to place it down. It still showed that it was locked. 

Developer

Heya! Thanks for taking the time to play and rate! And thanks for your appreciation, I appreciate it :D

I think what you had was a UX bug. I had originally wanted to hide the cost of farms until they were unlocked but it ended up being hidden if you couldn't afford it in general. I think if you would have had enough currency after unlocking it (pretty sure it's 40 for apple farms) you would have been able to place it. I also noticed that bug when I did my own playthrough recording after the jam

I don't run windows, so unfortunately I couldn't play.    😂

But the game looks good - the screenshots look nice and the idea sounds interesting!

I understand, that's one of the drawbacks of making a game in Unreal. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to leave some positive vibes! :D

Love the game idea! Had fun playing it a bit and expanding the mead empire Personally I would add a time acceleration because the wait time is quite long.

Developer

Hey thanks! Yeah, you're definitely right, one of the many things cut due to time - ironically, haha
