Really like the idea of a village sim for the jam. I know you said you didn't quite get as far as you would like for the ideas but I like even with the framework you can get little bits of stories between the villagers. I think the daily income could've used more explaining though I couldn't quite figure out if that was tied to villager happiness or not, but there's room there for like keep your woodcutters happy because you used up all your wood the previous day.

I loved the music for this game! I think the entire game had a really cool vibe, although I do wish the events happened more frequently. 

Music here kicked ass! Not really my sort of game, but I saw a lot I liked. Good Job

Pretty interesting game concept and I had a lot of fun playing it. Only thing I wished for was a screen edge indicator of when people were unhappy and were out of my view. I didn't mind scanning around looking but I think an indicator would make it a bit more enjoyable. Also, I really liked the chill music.

This is one of a kind game I have played in the jam so far. Loved to see something unique put out. Great concept and very cute art style. I feel a tutorial at the start would be helpful but none the less I liked to manage the village.

This is so cute ! Maybe an UI with the current number of unhappy villagers would have been great because I was always looking around in desperate need to help unhappy villagers but most of the time there was none :/

Cool idea cool game I liked it :)

First god type game I saw submitted so far, very cool. Like other's have said I think more tasks each day could be fun. Sometimes I felt like I was just looking around. Nice job though, it was fun!

I think it's a good choice to create a stat management sim in relation to theme and i think it's quite helpful that you have shown how each choice will effect certain stats before you choose them! I like that the choices add some personality and character to the game, and I thought some of the events were quite funny, although I would've liked if the choices had effects on the other character's around like for example if one character got punched by another guy, then the next choice would be about that guy getting injured, to make your choices feel more impactful. 

I also think that game could have been made more difficult each day with more choices, and maybe like a timer on the choices to give it more tension. 

I like the presentation though, has a decent level of polish! I quite like the detail of the current day number getting bigger. 

Good Effort! : )  

I really like the feel of this one. Took me a minute to figure out what to do, and like others have said I didn't have an issue with maintaining resources. Not sure If I'm just too good or if it's too easy rn. I'd like to see this expanded, some sort of village development like new buildings and stuff would be cool, whether the villagers just do it when you're doing well, or if you have some sort of control. 

Cool game! As somebody in the comments already pointed out, a few more quests per day would be good (and shorten the waiting time at the end of the day). Also, the amount of resources I had felt pretty easy to balance, so maybe consider decreasing how much you get at the end of each day. Or maybe let the quests cost more? 

The artstyle and music were pretty good, btw :)

The game has a great atmosphere. And the gameplay is better than mine))).

The only thing I think should be improved during the jam is to allow you to change the zoom to the other side.

If you are going to make this game a full-fledged strategy, make it with indirect control. Let the inhabitants of the village created by the player live their own lives, and the player himself solves their problems at will. Or creates new ones))) (orders to work overtime, change the type of activity, etc.)

Cool idea! Definitely lost the first time trying to interact with buildings, with the game being named Co$t Village; I assumed I'd be building the village. But on the second attempt, I figured it out and won! Good job!

I am biased because I enjoy god games and it gave me that feel, but it felt rather easy since most of the villagers were happy I don't know if it's me but each day I got like a maximum of 3 unhappy people, I feel like with some polish and some expansion upon the idea it can be a solid game.

Banger idea ! The screen size is small so it got tedious to circle around but I really like the humor and art of the game :D I can see how the scope of the game was a bit too big for the few days we had, but this game has potential !

-----------------------------

I went to your github, I'm not familiar with godot and GDScript as I work in C# but from what I see :

- a lot of work went in system like the houses but I never noticed the villagers enter their home as I busy with gameplay (but you already are aware of that as you said in your game description)

- I could be wrong but maybe trying to achieve Composition would have been better for your events ? looks like Godot have "Resources" that look really close to the Unity "ScriptableObjects"

Good job !

I think the issue here is maybe that it was too big of an idea. It's a very solide base, but there is unfortunately not that much to do apart from the events. It feel like the village can grow without me and it will still be fine. However, with that very cute artstyle and humour in the event, it can really grow to something reallyyyyy cool!

Good submission! I don't know if it has potential for larger scale game, but it was entertaining for the short playtime I had :) Maybe this could be a nice side mechanic to a more general strategy game?.. Like, you build and manage your village, command villagers to collect resources and produce stuff, but then those villagers actually have their everyday life problems you get to solve too.

very cute concept and design but i have some suggestions:

1-give the player less recources(i felt like i could choose the best coice each time)

2-make doing nothing cost no money but it makes the villagers angry(doing nothing in the game costs more than helping the villagers out)

3-make an angry villager meter that makes you lose once it reaches a specific level (the villagers kick you out cut seen would be fun)

4-respect for making this game in such small period of time , well done!
