Great idea! I didn't understand how to connect streets of different tiles that ended in the middle of a tile instead of at the edge at first but when I clicked start game everything made sense!

I would definitely buy and play this once it was finished.

Very nice and interesting game! I got into this atmosphere)

This is a creative concept, it was cool to have an idea of what the map would look like before jumping into the game

Awesome take on the theme here, I kinda just put something together and jumped straight in. Feels very polished too. I did freeze when I tried to full screen but other than that good job!

I like the color selection here. And the idea is kind of new for me. Good job!

Really cool idea and well executed.

Kind of like reverse exploration. You decide the layout of the area to explore.

Developer

True, if I update the game I may add a mode where the phases are reversed (you have a random world to explore & clear of enemies, and then have to map out that world)

A very interesting game, the map generation tool works very well and I love the idea of creating your own map and then playing in it.

The map generations system is really cool and the game feels well polished. Neat that you even had the time to make a tutorial.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!

I really like the map generation system and the menu overall. I'm not gonna lie,I thought it was a puzzle game at first. Also, I don't think the music really fit the "medieval theme" haha

Funny you should mention being a puzzle game, my original idea was to have you gain points in the realm creation phase based on how well you combine the tiles (as in roads connecting to roads and such), but I ended up dropping that idea because there's no point system in the combat phase.

I REALLY liked the fact that you can build your own map! Very creative! good sounds, good visuals, everything was very clear, and that is hard for a game where you build your own map so GJ! really nice one!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing :D

This is pretty fun! i would love a timer or maybe a score system

Developer

Glad you had fun! If you win the game it tells you the time taken, but if I update the game I'll be sure to add a timer while the game is running too.
