Cool concept, very confortable to play and the quest thing has a lot of potential. I'm sure you already have a lot of improvements in mind.
Just a question: At some point i had the goblin issue absolutely under control, and i only had to deliver quest and earn money. It doesn't look that was getting harder or something. But i read in the comments that there is an end game. Did i miss something?
After you've built all the available buildings, you officially "win the game" which is indicated by a pop up. After that you unlock two bonus buildings if you want to continue expanding your town, but they're visual only and the gameplay no longer changes at that point. And yes, many ideas came up, like other monsters that need a different bounty, or need groups of people (ensuring you lure the right classes to your town) etc. :)
nice game.
I have also thought of doing something similar like a village or inn simulation, but went with a different idea. Very well executed, feels polished. Love the godot statue for 50k :D
Thank you! I was hoping it would be recognizable :D
Really original take on the theme and very impressed with the depth of the game.
Well done!
Thanks a lot!
This is neat !
I absolutely loved the statue of the Ancient in the endgame... But I'm not gonna spoil it out in the comments.
Thanks! I made it last minute and thought it would be a fun reward for those going through the effort :)
Fun idea!! I really liked the system of placing gold bounties on goblins, and having to entice the spoiled heroes to go do it. I didn't feel clear on what the buildings were really doing, but I did buy them all anyway :D
I was going to say basically the same thing jerbaloot said, just having the heroes physically appear in the village, I think that'd make it much more fun as a kind of 'tycoon' game. Awesome concept though! I'd love to see a post-jam version of this!
Thanks for the feedback!
I decided to keep the player-facing information about the buildings simple . They get gold, attract heroes and sometimes both (indicated by "benefit"). I felt adding statistics in numbers (e.g. this building obtains on average X gold per tick per hero) was out of place without making the rest of the interface significantly more complex, and there was no way I could add (and tune) that level of depth this jam. If I were to continue this then I would definitely also provide more detailed information about the working of each building.
Fun (?) fact: each player has a generated class and profession, so actually mages only visit the mage tutor and never the warrior tutor. But because each player is created uniformly at random, it averages out that the mage vs warrior buildings are equally effective. One idea was to make your town particularly attractive to certain classes/professions, motivating players to make your town their 'homebase' by e.g. setting a hearthstone at the inn or using it as a respawn point.
The idea is actually very interesting and here very well executed. Good job!
Thank you!
This was executed well! If there was more end-game content I'd be addicted to the mechanic. It's fun seeing those numbers go up. Not many suggestions other than it'd probably be cool to see adventurers come into town to reinforce the feeling of adventurers being in the area.
Thanks for the feedback! That was one of the things that was most painful to drop. I wanted them to come in and have their own personality and needs, similar to Rollercoaster Tycoon. In the background each player has a generated class, profession, level and to-do list, but in the end I had to drop making graphical representation due to the time constraints :( hearing others validate the idea makes me consider adding in post-jam :D
