Many brave gnomes died this day. UI polish would help, since the game is like 80% UI, but I absolutely love this sort of thing and look forward to digging around deeper. Maybe I’ll figure out how to accomplish quests?
Oh, and the music~
Thanks for playing! I think it could use a little UX love (the party vs tavern menus are a little confusing). Any other suggestions for the UI?
After playing it a bunch more and getting many many gnomes murdered and/or eaten, I have a list!
UI papercuts:
Bugs:
Very addictive little game though, someday I’ll beat it. <3
Thanks for the feedback! I like your ideas for the UI.
I think I will put some effort into making the underlying mechanics more transparent, like the Tavern wall listing the level range it attracts based on the trophies that are on it. I also like the double click, or ctrl-click idea to quick loot
This is a great entry. There's a lot of polish which really helps with the immersion. I liked the humour of the quests. Keep on making games!
Such a neat game. I like the paper-like background colour and sound effects. I learnt how to use love2d and Fennel during this game jam, I think I need to study your code to release all the power of love2d and Fennel.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t know if I’d recommend my code as a learning aide ahaha. I usually start off the jam entry with a rough architecture in mind, then devolve into referencing global state everywhere as the crunch kicks in.
I love this little and cozy game! Music, graphics - they are beautiful.
There are few bugs in version 2.1 as well:
1) If all members of your party dies right after making a move, you won't be able to move anymore (and path of the last move taken is freezed on the screen)
2) When a gnome leaves party (one way or another), there is something wrong with equipment of those who rest in party (it seems to be locked on party slots, not on party members)
3) If a gnome is strong enough it can receive negative damage
There are some difficulties with reading the game too - it is hard to understand gnome's stats, and it is hard to compare equipment (and I didn't understand what color on equipment means).
Thanks you for this game, it is amazing!
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ll put the issues in the know issues section. I’ve figured out a solution for 2 and 3. The issue with 1 is a little insidious but I have an idea of whats happening.
The graphics are beautiful. Love the overall art direction!
This reminds me of one of the quests from Morrowind!
The look of the game is gorgeous! The different menus were difficult to understand for me. This feels like a sound basis for a great game.
Thanks for playing! Agreed, it could definitely benefit from a user manual.
