New version & devlog: Hi everyone, I cared a new version of the game, very different from the previous one.
You can read about it and download to play: https://yjonas83.itch.io/you-can-build-a-trade-route/devlog/338212/how-did-i-dis...
Looking for your feedback!

Hey, Android link is broken (maybe geography limitations?)

Hi everyone!

Using the jam to push forward with a game I've been struggling for a few months.

I started with some vague notions of a game I am looking for and can't find. Over more than 8 months I've been trying many different genres: isometric top-down open world, text based adventure, another text-based adventure. (In the middle I got a bit desperate and made a small procedurally-generated endless runner in space).

I hope to finish something playable for you to try, and to see if I can make something interesting out of my weird ideas.

A new version is now available!

To play: https://yjonas83.itch.io/you-can-build-a-trade-route 

What's new:

1. New "Open world" UI for Episode 2.
2. New endings to the game.
3. Available also for Android (requires internet connection).

I hope you find the new version interesting and fun!

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

The experience in this demo is intentional. However, I am not planning to have all of it throughout the game. The content of the demo follows the onboarding/intro phase.

Also, I'm planning a top-down map based UI.

Hi, will appreciate your feedback on my demo game: https://yjonas83.itch.io/you-can-build-a-trade-route

Hi everyone and thanks for playing!
I created a very short feedback form about the game: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxFRqS2NSLwUd-aYlkWWx6vB-8Giv45WGGde6_...

I would appreciate it a lot if you could fill it out :)

Hi everyone,

For a while now I am trying to build a game about business mechanics that is different from what I find.

To me, most games don't manage or aim to bring the real nature of business mechanics. The true nature of uncertainty, innovation, and failures seem to be missing in many games that try to focus on businesses. 

The trigger for this game is the common action available in many games "you can build a trade route". In reality, this is a complex and high risk endeavor.

To play: https://yjonas83.itch.io/you-can-build-a-trade-route 

I'm starting with a very simple text-based short adventure, to check if the basic topic, mechanics and theme are appealing. I plan to continue to some kind of top-down/map based game. Hopefully, all the way to PvPvE async multiplayer.

Looking for your feedback! Please let me know how do you find the experience.

Thanks!

Sure. It responded very slowly or didn't respond at all. At some point all I saw was a pink screen with no response to clicking on any point of the screen.

Not playable on my device (Redmi note 9)

ok, thanks for the clarification.

Very nice :) Maybe do a version for 2 players, each controls a different spider.

Great idea, thanks!

Thanks

Very nice!!!

I like it very much! Especially as an ex-sailor :)

Wow, one of the best games in the jam in my opinion.

Nice and well designed. However, I feel that the rotation just makes control harder and does not introduce novelty into the game.

Thanks a lot! I agree that the rotation requires additional animation to clarify it.

Nice! Liked it that physics implementation makes things non-trivial.

Thanks, I agree. Will probably use animation to clarify the rotation mechanism.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I agree that a difficulty mechanism is needed.

Thanks! I agree :)
