I love town building games so this adorable game is right up my alley. SUPER well polished for the 96 hours but could definitely use an in-game tutorial as mentioned. I like how there isn’t any grid to place stuff on, that’s quite refreshing actually. It’s very satisfying to watch all the guys run around doing their little jobs, I think you could do a lot to give them more personality and make them almost like pets XD Very well done!
Good style! I enjoyed the presentation! The cloud shadows scrolling by was a nice touch. I personally would remove the chromatic aberration and possibly add a slight depth of field to the background. I also wish there was an in-game tutorial and I think that the gameplay loop is a little too long for a game jam game. Other than that, good job!
Though the speed of the game may just be a personal preference.
I didn't realize that the only the smaller stone blocks counted as stone and got softlocked on my first playthrough. Was a lot better on the second play through. I think it would have benefitted from a goal to work towards beyond "Get a big settlement". Otherwise was a cool game.
Thanks for playing and the feedback :)
Beautiful building simulator you made. As you warn in your page I got softlocked with the resources, and the music didn't loop. Other than that its an amazing entry for the jam. Congrats!
Cozy building-sim with great controls! Looking forward to see the updated contents!
I like city/town builders like this, so I have had some fun with it so far. My browser seems to like taking some of the inputs from the mouse wheel, but ignoring that the controls seem pretty good. The music did completely stop after a little bit, but the rest of the SFX kept going.
I just love the artstyle and the cozy atmosphere, well done!
This game is so relaxing and beautiful, I love just watching the little people walk around and listening to the music and all of the SFX, which all sound very well together and are not repetitive at all. Great work!
Cute game! I just like it when there's detail to watch, like every one of your people doing their thing.
Minor thing to add would be some indication when a building you want to place won't work, I didn't realize the mine needs to be close to the small rocks, so I just put it next to the mountains and the workers just didn't know what to do.
This has to be one of the chillest games I've played this entire jam-- super good! One thing I do have to mention though is that my first time around, I didn't realize that the people needed to eat, so literally everyone starved because I was waiting for the gold to get the farms up and running. Still cool though, and definitely expandable as a chill city (or town I guess lmao) builder! If you guys have the time, we'd also appreciate if you took a look at our game!
Really fun village sim. I only found a few issues. One was the hover UI glitching sometimes.
Also this is more about balance, but in my opinion the wells run out of water too quickly. It almost feels like I have to spam them, and then they stay as dead buildings.
Cute little village management sim game!
Muito divertido e fique com vontade de fazer mais coisa
Very cozy and relaxing ! I can see the amount of work to make this!
Loved the cozy and relaxing vibes of the game. The audio and visuals were amazing. Overall a good game.
Cool cozy game. Don't really have much to say, but it is executed pretty well.
Also I got softlocked with Sawmill and Mine, cause I ran out of free citizens and gold stopped producing xD
Realy Build to Scale)))
Very cozy aesthetic and it looks awesome! Even though you used pre-existing assets, you were able to fit them well together and make a nice colony sim out of it!
My only real critique is that it feels weird having wells have a limited water supply. I imagine you probably would have added a more permanent water source given enough time, but it does still feel a bit strange to me.
The gameplay is fun and works well, and y'all did a great job!
We were indeed going to have better options for water supply after progressing further with the game, but like you have correctly guessed, we did run out of time. Also we were meant to have selling/destroying buildings added which would have felt better than the current state at which the wells run out of water and are but only a waste of space. It would have also made more sense if we were to go with limited resources for everything, including trees and rocks rather than respawning, which was a plan, but would not work for the game jam.
Amazing style and super clean! I think it could use a little more explanation of where to place certain buildings, since I messed up placement and got locked out my first few attempts.
very clean and polished, and nice music! loved the intro animation!
