Wow really great idea. I love seeing ideas that are so vast in scope really come to life with such simple rng. Played for about 30 mins and got quite a few loops in. I definitely haven't seen it all so will be sure to come back and have another session!
Out of curiosity, do you have a planned end-point for this project? An amount of content where you'll call it quits? Because this really seems like the type of game you could keep adding to forever, so many possibilities for content!
Thank you very much for playing and kind words. Truth be told, with 30 minutes of gameplay you probably saw next to all, with this being a LD jam game and all. If you went through all the city locations in all the society types then that should be it, racial and supernatural ability variations just change parts of text a bit, except for the update where avians and serpentines are able to climb trees without a random outcome.
And yes, a textual procedural game can suck its developer in, as there is never a lack of details that can be added nor graphical resources to hinder you, so I do intend to keep adding stuff whenever I can, while improving the engine and interface. I guess the first goal should be to provide experience that makes each loop feel fresh. And then maybe one day even break out of the loop, and allow players to have a decent run in the alien world, hopefully I'll keep my sanity by then. Thanks again!
