I love the idea of this! I was able to play out a few days but as I've only got my phone, placement didn't go super well. But tbe crytpids were cute and this was peak fall vibes. I love it, need to play again on computer.
Love the art style, and love the premise of cryptids camping out. Well made. I think some music and sound effects would really elevate the game. Also, I was surprised to discover keys 1-4 allow you to place infinite things :) I was just trying to select the card I have in my hand for the day with the keyboard and discovered this debug tool I think.
Yep, I 100% forgot to remove that oops! I think I want to add a couple of more characters and objects/cards and maybe add music and some popping sound effects when a card is places. Thank you for playing!
All of those ideas sound awesome. Looks like the game is in good hands!
really good game! i wish those cryptids were introverts and hence had a nice time at the spread out camp i built after i discovered that the map was much bigger than i thought :))
Yeah, that is something I found too. I think the issue is that they are always attracted the objects places first. So they all migrate to the same area. I to make adjustments to their exploring script as well as make the different cryptids have their own personalities. That is if I continue this project. Thank you for playing!
Cute little game. I like the system with the cards! Maybe could use some tweaking in the artwork the fishing dock was a bit big in pixels and could use some music and sound effects. But very fun little game!
I agree the dock and lamppost were not in the asset pack I used so I drew them quickly and I am definitely a better programmer than I am an artist lol. Thank you for playing!
Cute game and I like the card/energy system. It needs a bit tweaking on the balancing since by the 2nd night i could place every card. SFX and music would also go a long way here. Otherwise a very visually appealing game and short enjoyable experience!
As a human, who is not a kappa or a cryptid, I can not say that I related to those poor neglected cryptids finally getting the treatment and love that they so desperately desired and deserved. But if I could relate I would have cried from happiness.
Hello fellow human, for some reason I felt a need to draw this. Now I feel an obligation to add him to the game.
This work of art should replace the Monalisa!
Neat little game, I can see some potential for this. Few things to note, I was able to start the night without placing anything (I thought it was a maximize button at first), and then I could just place every card every turn, I didn't have to think.
Al in all, great submission!
Thank you for your feedback, I will have to fix the night button. I wonder if this caused an error with the energy calculation. You should start off with 3 energy(cost is 1 or 2 depending on the card.) then it should increase your energy by the number of guests you have. Maybe the system tried to calculate the new energy but it didn't have anything to add so it got messed up. I'll have to test when I get home tonight.
Eventually I want to make more cards and allow the user to open packs to get more options in their decks. The rarer cards will cost more energy, I do think it's a little bit too much energy per cryptid at the moment though.
Thank you for playing!
this is so cool! It’s very cozy to build a camp site! Great work!
Thank you for playing!
Love the idea of running a campground for cryptids. Placing my tent and then seeing a little visitor wander in after nightfall was a great moment. It would also be fun to see each cryptid's likes when you hover over them. Nice job!
When they are at your camp if you click on the cryptid a pop up should appear at the top and tell who it is, what they like, show their happiness and tell you what they are doing at the moment. Let me double check to make sure I didn't break it before publishing it lol.
18 campers, 1420 happiness, 25560 points. Not sure if it's good or bad. I like how it looks, but I don't think I understood all the mechanics.
That's great! my record is 26k. I wanted to add a tutorial.
You seemed to be doing it right thank you for playing! Anything suggestions on improving will help I plan on updating the game based on feedback and republishing the new version after voting is done.
I do actually have some suggestions. Some of it might already be in the game, but I haven't noticed, so my apologies if that's the case.
One is to add more mechanics around the types of cryptids and the buildings. Say they would get attracted to the building and stay near, but other surrounding buildings would affect their happiness. The visible affect range would be great. This would lead to the resulting winning map being more like a real camp with zones suitable for different visitors.
Second is to add some cards that would manipulate the cards/deck. So that you could add some specific cards to the next day's draw, copy cards, remove cards, etc. These might also have some effect as building, f.e. that they are favored by some type of cryptids.
So (I guess it's third) you can diverse your cryptids to types revolving around deck manipulation buildings, around building many preferred buildings, around making remote hideouts, around building and cryptid variety, etc.
I hope you'd find these ideas useful. Good luck!
Great submission! I liked the cute cryptid sprites. Nice to see the little description UI for each of them as well! Slap some music onto it and it could be a cozy sim game
Music was the one thing I sacrificed for time. I also have no clue how to do music so I stuck with what I knew. I agree though, I was listening to the lofi fall playlist someone sent to the discord and some of those songs hit while testing the game.
