This game is brilliant! It's a game unlike any other I've tried so far. My mind is blown about it. Most city builders tend to be boring after a while. this of course has its exeption being a demo and not a completed game.
I really love the way that you can change the tax ratio, as well as the overall effect that it has on it. I love the way happiness is both represented in colours red to green, as well as numbers when you click on the houses.
I tried the battle demo as well, I like it, could use a few touches but those are more or less the npc behaviour and not the overall battle.
There are some minor issues, or rather annoyances, not that they aren't survivable, but they do tend to drag the pacing of the city Development.
1. The Wood seems to be gathered just a tick too slow. Like you have everything else build but you're in minus and all you need are houses, but you have to wait like 5 minutes for three lumberjacks to gather a total of 9 Wood.
2. The rocks could use a 0,9% gathering speed increase, not that I've ever really run out of rocks but it's going slow too.
3. There are some minor issues regarding the houses and their needs. I have noticed my houses degrading or just being overall unhappy because of lack of Water, even though I've placed a well right beside the houses, and yes, the well is within the storage house area.
4. I find some small issues in the transportation of wares, for example bread and Weavers, I am collecting it and have like 3 Buildings of each, but the storage doesn't seem to be filling up with the bread or clothes and so on. It's the Only ones I've noticed such a thing with.
NOTE: This has NOT affected how much I love the game and I how certain it is, I will continue to play it, because I will DEFINITELY keep playing this game!
Getting past the Issues, I have some general ideas towards further Development of the game.
1. Add a Building of each type, to every stage. Like, I would like to see a level 1 farm and not just a level 2, or instead of Only having a level 1 forester or lumberjack, add a level 2 design as well, of course level two has to be increasing the income of the product, as well as the cost of resources and maintance.
2. placement of the townhall would be lovely to have, instead of being stuck at the same place forever, I would like to be able to switch starting point, for example when you press new game, you go to a map screen at which you can choose a part of the World to start in, and then you can choose between 5 different starting Places in set part of the World.
3. I would love to see a tech tree, like where you can unlock wagons, so the npcs can carry more.
4. Designs, this is NOT a big wish but I wouldn't mind it, but the idea is that you can choose different Building designs for each stage, like whether you want all normal Wood houses or houses with round roofs, long houses, manors, different kinds of farms, like small farm house and big field, this will require a house beside it but it produces more wheat, where the opposite would be big farm house and small field which makes place for 10 people and adds to income via taxes but produces less wheat.
I don't have more time for writing now BUT I'll leave my email in case you want to hear more because I have SO MANY different ideas for the game, of course, the game is yours and so it's your decision!
