It's such a lovely idea to play as Louis XIV's puppy! The dialogues are vivid. I wish I could have more clues for decision-making but it is still fun to explore the history of France in this way. The control is not very intuitive for me since both the arrow keys and mouse are on my right side. I'm not sure why but I once saw the puppy walking backwards.

Thank you ! For the clues, it's because I wanted to put the player with a dog's vision, so you don't really know what your actions can do. But in the same time, as a human player, you have some idea (for example with the "War table", you see some wooden soldier, you can imagine it will change the plans, but you don't know how exactly.
For the controls, yeah I know, as I say to someone, I wanted to do WASD, but my keyboard is in ZQSD, so I decided for anyone who have AZERTY's keyboard to put the arrows, I could have done both didn't think about it.
Oh for the walking backwards, I think it might be a bug.
Thank you so much for your feedback !
Very interesting idea executed pretty well! The detail in the art, music and sound effects are great! My only suggestion would be to implement proper keyboard control, like interact with space key. Having to use mouse and arrow key at the same time feels a bit strange. Other than that, great job!

Building Hong Kong 1840-1897Very charming game. The music was great and the gameplay was simple, but fun, and the lighthearted tone goes well with the art style and music. I can also see this being expanded into a larger project that would be really fun to play. ("It's a lovely day in Versailles and you are Louis XIV's favorite dog...")

The Great Canadian Rail Surveyor!That was a fun run through. The dog has character and it's a funny way to illustrate the history around the Sun King Loius X1V.
Great graphics - loved the picture of the King with his dog at the start LOL.

Scéal - The Story Of IrelandThanks ! The picture of the king was the most difficult thing to draw because I had to create an existant painting (I just added the dog).
The original painting is here if you want to check : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_Louis_XIV
I'm glad you liked it <3 !
Love this game so much!!! Doggo might be naughty but he sure is cute <3

The Battle of BubatA very charming game! :D For some reason, I can't seem to be able to exit the yard after biting or waging tail. Am I doing something wrong? :(
I love this concept, it's such a unique approach - very good! :D

Vasa La VistaI really enjoyed the charming art and making trouble happen as Filou!

The Blind JaskierSuch a cute game, and a very unique concept of seeing it all through the eyes of the dog. :)
I don't know much about French history but the music and graphics all feel really right and fitting for the time period. Well done! <3

The Skirmish at BenderLes Français parlent aux Français : Vous êtes passés sur le Chaîne Twitch d'Histoire en jeu dimanche 8/01 : HistoireEnJeux - Twitch Nous avons pu apprécier votre point de vue décalé sur l'histoire et la proposition de changer le cours de l'histoire !
Une version en langue française pourrait aider le jeune public qui ne maîtrise pas encore l'anglais à profiter du jeu aussi ! Est-ce prévu ?
