Fun game, but I find the shadows very hard to see. Usually I have to memorize my path and take a different one. Than I try until I randomly miss the shadow in the places where path cross.
You can also burn a huge forest and rebuild some of the toxin scrubbers. Then you can plant some chunks of forest and put lots of greenery in between.
I found area III harder than area IV. After I got past the flowers, I failed the stage twice because I could not get the weather going. The steam generators need a 2x2 space of water with power and most of the good spots need some channels for the water and then you need to build power on top of that. This is really expensive on top of the already expensive steam engines.
I really like the concept. Coincidentally, when I came back from my skiing vacation in february, I thought that this is the game that I have to make because no one else does.
Keep up the good work. I think many improvements are obvious, but in case you can still get anything out of this:
- Performance is an issue. I ran this on a laptop and it was super slow and stuttery even before I started my resort.
- Information provided are a nice start, but could be better. It is not clear how to get stars. Also I'd be cool if you list thoughts for skiers that used a run recently. (It is annoying to find skiers that used a certain run and then it is difficult to click them.)
- I think lifts should be placed pillar by pillar with a limited amount of changing direction in between. Also middle stations would be super awesome.
- Definitely needs restaurants and party places, and possibly toilets as well.
- Maybe you want to introduce seasons with building only enabled in summer and run work also enabled in winter. Not sure if this is actually a good idea.
- Also not sure if I'd like to see an economy system with money. I think the current system with the volunteers is quite good. Tycoon games with money never really work well. Players always make money redundant through a minimal profitable systems + fast forward. Money only works if you couple it with timed objectives those are out of favor for a long time.
I really like the game so far, looking forward to a more polished version!
Fun game. Feels a little bit too easy and restrictive. Played for 6 or 7 maps, but I never had enough tiles to build a castle with complete walls. Mostly just building a funnel with caltrops and murder holes killing everything.
It crashed on the start of the 9th battle.
It also crashed for me when I click the survey button.
