Amazing Dwarf Fortress-ish vibe! And I loved the font you’re using :)
Unfortunately my small party of two died in Lvl 1 dungeon, so I might be lacking skill 😅
Always blame your units, not yourself ;)
A solid advice 😁
I like the funny names (autogenerated?) and the look of the text and boxes. The movement between the menus is clumsy but I guess this is a shortcoming in most turn based rpgs. Maybe a key could be use to speed up the 'advance to next day' action.
Also, I did not manage to play the linux version(missing glfw error) but the windows version runs fine using wine.
I forgot to document it but if you press "end" in the root menu it'll jump the cursor down to the advance day button.
Strange that there would still be GLFW errors, it should be included with the game. I'll look into that.
This is unexpectedly really fun! At the beginning I thought it was a GUI to manage TTRPG campaigns, but it's actually a game where you manage parties of adventurers. I particularly enjoyed when my party of DEAD adventurers came home :D. I think it would have been nice if they had stopped reporting, forcing me to send out another party to figure out what happened to them. I think this has good potential.
The nested dialogue boxes interface is quite extensive though I also felt I had to dig far into the menus to find important information, like the health of my party members between turns in the dungeon. I didn’t make it out of the early game, but the early game feels slow - I can only buy 1 or 2 party members with the starting money and then I have to get another 400 just for the next party member. I bet it’s more fun if I can get lots of different parties going.
