itch.io

I appreciate the feedback! I will take a look at updating the font in there future ^^
If the font did not work for your need, just ask for refund (dunno how to do it here, but should be possible)

Hi there, wishlisted, i bid you good luck <3

I guess the receipt from the itch should be enough imo, plus im not an asshole, come on. I deleted X quite some time ago, might as well leave a message here ^^

I do agree with that, as funny as it might sound!

One thing I really dislike about modern games is the amount of handholding done - to a point where game designers leave no respect for players’ intelligence. Lost Settlers was founded on the theory that letting players discover everything themselves (as obscure as some of the mechanics might be) would lead to a more engaging game. Since there is also no way to lose the game/progress, it also removes majority of frustration that would normally be present in majority of other cases. Hence why minimalism threw convenience out of the window. I don’t really know if this would have been a better experience if more descriptions were present/there was a tutorial, etc. Will find out soon :D

anyway, thank you for the kind words and thank you for coming to my TED talk <3

no, you are!

<3

Damn, what a bustling economy 

Thank you! I am now (im)patiently waiting for your game with this tileset ^^

the more the merrier 🤗

I think a hug is a panacea for everything, so here is one in either case 🤗

Darren, the developer of dawn folk and previously Lueur, said that Lost Lands did indeed inspire him to make those games. At first I thought it was a blatant ripoff, so I asked around my friends and other fellow developers. The majority said that this would fall under the category of “heavily inspired by”. I still believe it is the latter, but I dusted it under the “you are just being paranoid” carpet. I will try Dawnfolk to see which one is true, but for now… yeah, I don’t know man.

Onto your other question - I am indeed working on the successor for Lost Settlers called Lost Lands which relies on the same philosophy of making a minimalistic, exploration and discovery based city builder (just in 3D). Hopefully it will be as good as the first one ^^

ps: thank you for posting, makes me feel less alone in my camp :D

Fascinating, I guess I somehow incorrectly cleaned up the starting values for the map reroll :O 

I like how by the end you basically had creative mode enabled :D

A big fuck yeah

hi there, sorry I somehow missed your comment!

You can use it for your game, absolutely no worries! Please do keep me posted (or drop a twitter link if you got one, so I can follow up ^^)

Thank you, glad you liked it ^^

Glad you liked it!
I do not think there is any other way to get mana but to build the Mage's Tower im afraid, did;t really think about it :D

Thank you!

I was about to suggest you ping us over the email, but I guess you already have :D

Glad you liked the game! That was the whole idea with the game, so I am glad it worked for you :)

So, emm, I got the track off humble bundle quite some time ago, there was this gigantic pack of loops, sound effects, etc. Found one track I liked, adjusted the pitch so it sounded a lot more slow paced, and you got the track! No magic there I am afraid. I tried looking for it now, but can't find it :/

Happy to that, Thomas!

I am a bit saddened myself I never got to even make a prototype, so please do in my stead :D

you got it chief ^^

you got it chief

Ah, thank you, I had no idea! 

Yeppo! Use as you see fit, and tag me if you do, I would love to see the results :)

The tall buildings (bottom left) were indeed inspired by Amsterdam! The barn, and small houses (top right) are inspired by Norwegian architecture. So, you are bang on!

The palette is actually from Lospec.com, with a few changes and additions, but I cannot for the life of me find the original one now :(

Viken ung babyyyy! Going to check it out, looks freaking fantastic!

Thank you!

I removed all those "disturbing" bits on purpose, I wanted a very chill experience. I do agree that some changes to spice things up would work well, to change context for the player every now and then, so that is already planned :D

Stay tuned!

you might not be a jam, but you are definitely a snack. 

Excellent font, I just feel like I have to use it now :D

Hi Alex, we dropped you an email ^^ Ping us back when you got the time please!

thank you for the kind words ^^ will do our best

Oh damn, I’d think they would add backward compatibility with newer android versions.

I would really want to publish it for the newer version, but I just do not have 100 bucks for a construct 3 license or time to port it again I’m afraid :/

but thanks for playing ^^

Glad you liked it! What do you mean by keep up? I do believe the version of the game here and on android is the same.

Welp, almost a year into the game since release you are the first one to find a bug :D

Thank you, I will take a look at it :)

I am really happy I was able to inspire your next project, it looks absolutely lovely! 

Ps: really liked the devlog, I should do something that too ^^

:O

We are spiffing it up, if you will, gotta have the same minimalistic look and play, just in 3D ^^

Well thank you ^^ I am really happy to see people enjoying it

Hi there!

Your comment made my day, thank you :D
 I honestly never considered the possibility of the starting point to be surrounded by the mountains, like in your case, so I already made myself a task to take care of that so that does not happen.

Regarding resources - noted! We also changed how some of the resources "behave" and what they are used for, so hopefully we can balance it out so there is no grinding.

And regarding the last part - you can expect more of those indeed! We aim to make a lot of building to provide new unique actions and changes to the game mechanics, and more chains (e.g. when upgrading or building next to each other). Also, perhaps not in early build, we will be adding "prettify"ing options for some buildings, allowing you to customize how stuff looks but also brings in some bonuses. So.. stay tuned ^^

PS: I really liked the concept of a mushroom farm, so I am stealing that one for the game :D

Instant wishlist on my side! This also begs to be released on switch.

A few comments, hopefully useful notes:

1. The order of enemy turn is ambigious, would be great to include some indications of that, so you can plan your moves well (this is especially important since enemies can damage each other);

2. In the classic roque-like run (Hades, Slay the Spire, etc.) the most vital resource is health since it is rarely restored. This can impact the playstyle, like forcing players to be defensive. This could limit the viable strategies in game, and hurt replayability. The potions kinda aleviate the problem, but I got to dig deeper to see if that becomes a problem later in game.

3. Allow some potions to be used in between the fights?

4. Really easy to forget what some of the moves (player's or enemy's), would be nice to have some way to read about them and their special moves.

In any case, good luck, this is gold ^^

Glad you like it! Gonna make it even prettier still ^^

Thank you for the kind words! We have a lot planned for the game, so stay tuned ^^

That is great, rooting for you guys!

I saw the trailer earlier today and I am definitely getting my hands on this ^^. Have you guys considered Switch by any chance?

Either way, congrats on the launch!

Hi Darenn!

I really liked what you did with the "source material"! Really liked the illumination mechanic, and the end game is a lot more fun, can be challenging in the first run. The 64px limitation makes everything looks crammed, but that honestly works well with the darkness of the world that you've built.

For starting pixel art I think that looks quite good! I would advice you to look over at lospec.com for palettes and tutorials (artists Pedro Medeiros and Slynyrd are my recomendations). Even a tiny change, like applying a custom palette will breath a lot of live into the game.

Looking forward to the final version!
