So addictive and relaxing! Takes time to understand but later it’s so nice! Absolutely love it!

Developer

Thanks dude! Is a little bit challenger at beginning but can turn a little fun after all... thanks for playing!

Really well done. I played for a long while, and enjoyed myself! I struggled a little at the beginning. I've never played a game like this before, so I didn't find the resource management aspect to be very intuitive, although I did get the hang of it with some help! I hope you guys keep fleshing this out, it's a hit!

Developer

Thanks Scrubette! the games has alot of feedbacks missing, like building destruction visual and sounds, resource markers in card for non available resources.. and alot more rs but i am happy you enjoyed and workaround this missing features...and we'll continue the development, a 1.0 version is planned... i hope you enjoy when comes out!

Wow great work, it's a really cool concept. Impressive that you made all of it for the jam. I like that it is presented like a board game, and using resource cards to place tiles in the game space, it kind of reminds me of Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms but as a modern adaption with more complex mechanics. Kudos to you on developing a promising title, happy to hear that you are planing to continue the development, I would be interested in playing a full version of it. /Azynthia

wow a Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms comparison what a honor ... We're planning continue the development after this jam, we saw alot of potential in  mechanics but we almost get crazy to accomplish it in the dead line... hahah  we are taking alot of notes you guys are given us and we'll be happy to show you when we implement it... we appreciate your feed back thanks

Hi Pielloy,

We getting this problem sometimes Windows, we suspect what causes this is a problem in render order of the UI Items... some people does a work around this restarting the game a couple of times.. =/ let me know if work for you...

Hi guys,

The first time I've started the game on Linux (latest Manjaro), I've encountered the same problem, but closing and re-opening the game fixed it (or maybe it's just random). There were no error messages on the terminal.

humm, nice to know Fodi, we started it a several times in linux and this does not happen... We have a guess about redering order or Z order in our GUI... Anyway is knowledge to think about in the next projects

Absolutely amazing job, folks! You've managed to create a very complex (mechanics-wise) and still enjoyable game. To be frank, I've never played anything like this before (the closest would Terra Nil) but I'm loving this.

Are you planning on continuing development?

Developer(+1)

Thank you Fodi! Glad you like it, we’ve been talking about continuing the project. We are very please to say that we did something with a promissing future, so stay tunned for updates on that!

We didn’t have much time to balance the game so thinks are a bit weird atm :D

What a good game! Crazy how much you brought into the game. Where can I start... 

The UI looks very clean! All the icons you added, the tooltips, the layout. Really well done. Also the cards spread out in the hand and the darker background on the bottom of the cards with the white icons, I dig it. And also beautiful screenshots/icons for the buildings to place. A Small thing I noticed, maybe tween the cards when hovering instead of instantly popping them up, and also not removing them from the hand when clicking on them and showing them bigger.

The controls feel very natural. The Camera Controller is really well implemented, especially the middle mouse button rotation around a focus point. 

Next I love the polish on the map, where it turns from gray to landscape. Wow what an effect. Generally the contrast of the gray grid and the playing field surrounded by walls, I like it. And all the game assets are neat.

Lastly, the music. Great choice, very atmospheric and fits well.

Overall great game, incredible that it was created in a game jam.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Flipflostudios!

Sadly the time was too short and the game was very ambitious so we didn’t have much time to work on SFX, nether to balance the game :’(

But we are very please on what we did accomplished on that three exhausting days!

Thanks again for your support and feedback!
