My people are thriving, great game!
Amazing game! This could very easily go on steam! but the font was kinda hard to read for some reason 🤔
might be some compression issues on my part tho!
Thank you that means so much! And yes the font is a bit of an issue to start with but I think that playing in full screen makes it even worse, it looks best without full screen or downloaded.
I really enjoyed this game, reminded me a bit of Crusader Kings!! Very fun and well done implementing such a complex system and making it all work in 1 bit!!!
Thank you! I really wanted to scratch that itch games like CK scratch in this jam
Not a fan of the text for numbers I had to go full screen to see them clearly, but besides that I enjoyed the game.
I agree they can be hard to see, I've definitely been considering ways to make the game more readable in it's complexity.
if you open the font file in a font editor online, you can clean up the numbers that are hard to see. I’ve had to do this for certain fonts that made my fours look like nines.
This started quite overwhelming, but after a while i got the hang of it. Love the style! And to be honest, I thought this style wouldnt work with just 2 colors but it does :)
Thank you for playing!
Very complex game you got here. I read through the guide but still felt a little lost with all of the different things to keep track of it. But I do love a good resource management game. And the art style was excellent! It reminds me of wood carvings. I wasn't able to beat it but I did make it pretty far in a rebellion. Thanks for making and sharing it!
Thanks for giving it a shot! It's a puzzle to figure out, in it's current state Order is quite weak, so prioritizing high tax and hoarding resources while disregarding the consequences of low order is honestly a pretty good way to beat the game if you want to give it another try
so thats ALOT of stats to throw at the player right off the bat, i was able to parse most of it....
any ways i started off getting saddled with royal guards twice and i had no money for teh first year,so i focused on money and it seemed like 'i was able to make alot more interesting decisions' just by being able to PAY for said decisions, and once i had infinite money going, im basically clicked yes to every event without really thinking about it, even the overthrow teh current emperor one which did not really seem to impact me AT ALL, also having -7 order didnt seem to impact my gameplay AT ALL, i get one screen of 'you people are teh poorest in the world' and then i click on games a couple times and things are K?
theres no real direction, i think after year three i got bored, maxed my army and clicked rebel, and i won? in zero turns?
i think my biggest gripe is i did not know what to do with the emperor lines in the stat screen, i tried waiting to get a bad emperor to rebel but....see above, and WHY should i care about Em. orders? at ALL? and order in general
overall a worthy submission, maybe space your text out a bit better it was kinda unreadable in the pick three UI.
I enjoyed it, I like how many stats this game has, making the player think carefully how to do stuff right if they want to win, the gameplay is very polished, also the art and music are fantastic.
The art and overall polish in this was so well done, love the style. The take on the theme was fun too, even if subtle. Event and character portraits as well as the music was also nice. Great work all around!
Thank you so much for playing the game!
Thank you for playing through the game! I'll take a look at the text and see if something's up there ^^
