Is there a way to download it outside of steam?

No updates on 20 days? Everything ok with the project?

yeah it’s moved over to steam, and been having weekly updates 

Maybe you can add an age for each person.

Just for fun.

maybe you could add an auto save or a way to save the game its really annoying when  i spend two hours on a map/world to then close the game and lose all my progress.

(-1)

Yeah, we're adding that later. the current focus is on new features and that will break the saves constantly.

(+1)

oh, ok thanks Doublecap keep up the amazing effort

Maybe you could add this in: if you put shit on plants it grows straight away.

It's just easier for the early game.

Hello, Enjoyable game, theres a few bugs, one of them which you drop items into buildings to construct it and the item just clips into the ground, making it impossible to progress i think, even the villagers couldn't build. also maybe the right click to zoom should be enabled by default, took me a while to press esc and notice it 👍

thanks yeah looking into the bug right now! Yeah I’ll set it to default 

Hi,

could you please add a early game weapon i think that would be a great addition to the combat. Something like a sword and maybe a armor :3

(1 edit)

Yeah, the warrior comes pretty late now but i'd like to add something earlier

nvm i did it :)

i downloaded the thing but how do i like open, i unziped the file but idk what to press to open

how do i play the game?

can you make theme collect wood and stone

yeah! Click on them and select what to pick up

(+1)

why didn't the game saved the advancement that the player make

(+1)

Any plans to make it playable on mobile?

(1 edit)

eventually, but the focus in on pc first 

(1 edit)

I can't believe after all these patches and you still didn't fix the purple screen

its been a weird one, we fixed it for some. we're still looking into it

(+1)

The miners doesn't want to dig a big stones

This is fixed now

uh i still get purple screen idk why 

oh! ok, thanks for letting me know. ill look into it 

even after patch 15 i still get purple  screen when launching the game

yeah, sorry we haven’t figured that one out yet 

If you join the discord i have a build you can try now that might have this issue fixed, but it cant send it here

Hey! this should be fixed in the latest Patch 

(+1)

When will the mobile update come pls because everyone wants mobile games and yours the best

thanks! Yeah mobile will take a while, I have to focus on pc first. 

after downloading, what do I do to play?

you have to unzip the folder and run the exe. 

im trying to play but after i press download i cant play. is it something im doing wrong or just cant play on mac

yeah y out can’t play in Mac only pc at the moment, sorry

hi i just have two questions 1 what ways are there that i can support you in the creation of the game because im on mac and cant wait for it to come out and would still love to be able to help. also second quetion is mac support up there on the list of things to implement into the game or is it well off just want to know. ps just from what ive seen this games looks like its coming along smoothly 

(+1)

Yeah Mac is not the highest priority. Really sorry. I don’t know when it will be added but I really appreciate the support! 

You could join the discord to know as soon as it’s added 

Game has so much potential but add saves and i seem to notice that starving in the game is a big problem so if you could make so that there would be more food and bushes with berries.

thanks! Yeah I’ll see if I can balance that better. Saves are coming eventually! 

(+1)

The game is great but please put it so the world can be saved it keeps getting deleted.

Thanks a lot! yeah, saves are coming soon :D 

The game glichs and I you can't play! While opening the game it just presented a black screen with pourple squares and it doesn't do anything, i'm guessing bug but idk.

yeah seems some are experiencing that! I’m working on fixing I. Thanks for your patience 

(+1)

Can we get like free early Access? (For OGs ofc, some just don't have the luxury to buy this game, I am bot suggesting making it free for most, but for OGs rather. If this does work great! If it doesn't, well there ain't nothing I can do, also add a save button so I can mesmerize whilst it's still free, thanks!)

(+1)

Totally agree with this. I know that few games have had this luxury for the OG players but you might aswell be one of the first :)

yeah, if you join the discord there’s a chance to get the full game if you wanna be a tester! 

I've played the game for 2h or so, this is the feedback I've got so far:

  • Building structures can be hard to understand at first and annoying to do later. Since you have to drag the materials into it. When you have 20 items to drop on 1 building, you'll spend a good minute dragging items around.
  • Builders are nice to have, but they don't do much atm. They're really slow and most of the time there's nothing to build.
  • Combat is really easy (lightning on one side, revive/heal on the other side) and extremely monotonous.
  • The click drag system is really cool, but annoying when you have 10 items on the other side of the map.
  • After 60–90 minutes, the game becomes really slow. Villagers have to walk a long way to pick up a singular item. Perhaps an upgrade where villagers can pick up multiple items or have faster movement speed?
  • The lightning spell is insanely strong, especially since you can unlock it lv1. Maybe an upgrade system where each spell can go from lv1 → lv5, where the current lightning is lv4 or lv5?
  • Save system pls ;-;

Hope this helps!

this is great feedback! Thanks a lot!

sorry, I can't start playing...

I can tap on "exit" but I can't tap on the "play" button 

The game does not properly support other aspect ratios than 16:9 at the moment, see if you can force your screen to that 

hello does it already have a save? its a cool game but last time i download it it doesn't have a save function

o it doesn’t have any saves yet sorry

My cousin was at my house and he saw this game and was wondering if it would soon be available for mac

Oh, yeah it’s only for pc as a start 

(2 edits)

Just asking, does it work on mobile phone? Because I download it on mobile phone and it doesn't work even when I unzip it

No, it’s only for pc at the moment, it’s still in early development and other platforms will be a focus after pc

Aww I thought I can download this on mobile 

Aww I thought I can download this on mobile 

how to make the people build?

you have to make a carpentry, and then add them to the building

hi, so ive downloaded the game maybe an hour ago and i cannot upgrade the altar more than level 2. should it be like that or?

Is there a way that this game gonna be on steam?

Yeah! I’m working on the steam page right now 😁

(-1)

when will a save system be added? and if the full game becomes available will it still be for free or will it cost money?

I don’t know exactly when the saves will be added, and yeah, the full game will cost :)

how much do you intended it to cost?

I don’t know yet, somewhere around $10-$20 maybe 

I plan on adding loads more content and the game is still super early in development 

i cant download

hi dont know if it is just me but i played for 40 mins and when i logged off and came back my progress didnt save is there a button or is it a bug

yeah the game does not have a save system yet

After playing for a few hours i can say a few things that are on my mind at the moment. 

First of all, food is really annoying to collect after some time. Deers are really common and when archers kill them they just leave the food on the ground. A real hunter always collects his prey and rewards, so the archers should to; after killing the deer they should bring the food back to either the archery or the totem. 

Second thing is, villagers are too slow with collecting items in general. Going left and right to collect the items and put them in the center totem is a huge pain after a while when u unlock a bigger section of the map; Either make some villagers that will collect stuff only and do it quicker, and make some kind of a building connected to the totem that they can deposit the stuff in (i know that there's a storage but i'm just giving ideas). Or make an unlockable skill worth 2 or 3 points that when you click an item that's on the ground it instantly goes to your inventory.

Third thing is combat AI; villagers are REALLY low IQ when it comes to fighting. Archers will stay in place and not actually go to where the other villagers are fighting with the enemies so you have to move them manually.

There's many bugs with the villagers behaviour but i can't list them since i can't clearly point them out. I'd suggest keeping an eye out for them or for people to respond to this if they know any.

(+1)

thanks a lot for this feedback! 

Yeah upgrading to instantly pick up would be a good mechanic. 

Yeah gotta fix a bunch of stuff with the ai to make them better, and also being able to give them a specific resource to collect! 

I really like the current system its very unique. The issue is more that the ai is really buggy and just does not pick up the stuff. But I do like there being basically 4 types of villagers, those that extract the resources but don't pick them up, like miners, those that pick them up (which u then divided by those who just bring everything to storage and those who bring it to current building process) and soldier. I can see that the soldiers take a lot of inspiration from Kingdoms, I would try going for adding a melee, like swords to it. Overall, its very cool i would stick to your initial ideas, the issue is more that it has bugs, waves of enemies are very unbalanced and that's it.

I agree with you, that's why i've given multiple ways to fix the problem. Clicking to pick up was just one of the options and it'd be a hard skill to achieve in the skill tree. Also i like the melee idea aswell as nerfing the enemy waves a bit, maybe adding more types of enemies instead of just adding +1 to each wave

Is this available for Linux? I saw this on tiktok but only running Linux and not windows

(+1)

yeah, it’s only pc for now m, sorry 

(+1)

you could run a virtual box to make it work

Hello, I just saw your game, I find it enjoyable to play when I watched it on tiktok so Im downloading it now. Im a new tiktok follower btw. Hoping for you're game to be successful.

edit: I have played the game, I dont like the delayed mouse movement when I'm ingame. The mouse on the main menu has normal movement but when ingame, it got delayed. I dont know if its a bug or intentional but It mad the game so ahrd for me to play, I struggle to drag things.

(+1)

ok, thanks a lot for trying it out, I gotta fix it hat. Thanks for the feedback!
