Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your concept engage in the jam's themes?
An ancient wartime epic that focuses on a battle for resources such as Gold, Silver, and Diamonds. Constant war and conflict cause for civilizations to go through heavy climate change globally.

Use of Theme / Inspiration
I find the themes of the Climate Jam 2024 very intriguing. I feel it is very intriguing because my initial game: "Pyrite", is meant to serve as an example of what war does to the environment. I look to incorporate the use of environments and ecosystems as a crutch and an obstacle. The main games that inspired for this project are games like Sid Meier's: Civilization, Wargame, Europa Universalis, and more. I also took heavy inspiration from the Crusades and the Dark Ages within World History.

From the Climate Jam FAQ (here):

Can I work on a game I previously made, or am currently in the middle of developing?
We ask that you not use the jam as a continuation of a previous project. You may take a new approach on the idea of a previous game of yours, but the whole process from concept to completion should be new. 

This is clearly using the original game's assets and code: https://c4boosekiller.itch.io/pyrite  which says it was first published in November 2023.

Also you haven't provided any of the materials the ideation sprint calls for..

Your prototype is a lot further along that I would have thought it would be at this stage! That being said, I really wish there was a tutorial or more clear instructions for what to do and how to control the guys. I think that you have a very solid base, and with a bit of polish on the UI and UX design, you'll be set for the next few weeks!

I'm amazed that you already have a prototype, but I wasn't quite sure what your plan is for the game. You didn't really go into your production plan or mechanics. I also wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do when I ran the game.
