Hi, thank you so much for this comment! Appreciate both the order and the kind words :)

Yes, those 4 puzzles are solvable. A WWW puzzle is missing because Herd was actually finished before WWW (and then got delayed because of production problems).

About the 4 civilisations: I think they'd be pretty chill with each other! :) None of them seem antagonistic.

Lego pieces, clay, modified checkers pieces... Just note that the figurines need to stack!

Absolutely understandable! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you'll have a good time with the game :)

The link to the digital file is listed in the book, on page 2 :)

Woah, if you're still solving only in your mind, that's mad impressive!

Hehe, that would be quite a thing to experience! Especially since Zach-likes were a big inspiration on some aspects of the game :)

How far in are you? I think that at some pointit will become impossible to mentally solve the puzzles without any notes, but who knows, you might be a super human :D

Glad the book arrived safely! Thank you for the kind words :)

I apologise, I can't really do that, but there will probably be a similar discount bundle available at the time of Herd's release :) Thank you for the interest!

Oh, thank you so much Dexophilia! :)

If you want hints for this game, I suggest you join the Letibus Discord ( https://discord.gg/vqNdS3zG7k ), as I wouldn't want to spoil directly anything in the comments here on Itch :)

I suggest you keep on playing - it will probably get clearer for you later on in the book!

Thank you Sangchoo! :)

Thank you very much for your nice comment, I hope the bonus content will also be up to par for you :)

This was extremely cute! I really love the aesthetics and the ruleset.

Tnx hamptersss :)

Congrats! :)

Much appreciated :)

Very kind message, thank you :)

Currently no plans. Herd Digital would probably be quite a different game than the physical one. It might not seem like it at first glance, but Herd is quite dependant on its physicality :)

At this point, you can only print it yourself. But I'm in the process of making physical copies :) Should be done in the next 2-3 months.

thank you! :)

Ah, you're absolutely right! This was a mistake from my end. The correct solution (with the same initial placement - and with "J" signifying a jump) is this: U L JD U JU JU D JD D JD D R JU U JU L JD D JD R JU U JU L JD D.

Also, this comment made my day a bit, cause just today I was feeling pretty bad about Herd being so unplayed, but seeing that you're looking at solutions for the final part of the game makes me hopeful haha! Thank you.

Best, Blaž

niiiiice

Hey Omega, I think you were actually present for the majority of the development and helped a lot with it! Thank you :)

Thank you, really appreciate your words :) Lineon actually might be my next project after Herd (since it’s still unfinished).

I removed all online playtesting option for Herd, because there’s no way to properly experience the second part of the game without the book opened before you. It’s very dependant on the physicality. I know this limits the current reach of the game, but I am making 3d-printed playtesting kits and sending them out to select people and I am depending on kind people making their own playtest kits (even using Lego pieces on an iPad is probably good enough for the late game content). It makes for a very slow playtesting process though 🥲

Hi Ang-Ar! Glad you’re interested in getting my games in the physical form, thanks! :) At this point, I’m still unsure about the release date - I want to playtest the game more to offer a bulletproof product and I don’t want to overlap with LOK Digital release date. So most likely in the beginning of next year, but if I suddenly get a lot of feedback, I might push it for November.

I’m not sure what’s going on with Big Cartel’s text - I just checked the “coming soon” button for this item without specifying the date 😅

Thanks LageB! The jumping clarification was actually added to p.13 only two days ago, so if you updated the pdf in between playing sessions, you might have played p.13 before the clarification was added. You’re not the only one who was unclear about this rule, but I hope the rule is now sufficiently explained/pointed out!

Wow! This looks absolutely fantastic. Love the format!!!

Thanks Scarlet! There is an end to the demo, you just didn’t get as far probably :D

Thank you! :)

Hello! Your kind words are much appreciated :)

Ah yeah, sorry about not replying to the second question. So, the game ends when the person whose turn it is can't make a move in that turn. It doesn't end in the previous turn yet.

Hi dnobi! Thanks for the comment. Huh, I never considered that drawing subsequent lines in the same direction could lead to a stale-mate. Can you try out a few matches with the rule "You can't draw lines in successive turns in the same direction, unless having no other option"? And see how it plays, maybe this rule will make it better? Let me know :)

Otherwise, sure, you can use the diagrams.

thanks!! :)

31a is about when/where to turn. Do you see a difference in turning between 31a and 28-30?

Thank you woofmao! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

Hey HouseRule, thank you :) I hope you'll find the expansions satisfying as well - I myself don't play AIB without them

Hey! We already talked on Discord and sorted this out right? :)

Great, thanks for the feedback!

Great, thanks for the feedback! 👍👍
