Hello developer, could you please make a port to Android, I really want to play it on my phone, but my computer is not that powerful 🙏,I like your game and I'm going to follow it )
what is the age rating? My child wants to play it
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.
Yeah, we're adding that later. the current focus is on new features and that will break the saves constantly.
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
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
why didn't the game saved the advancement that the player make
Any plans to make it playable on mobile?
eventually, but the focus in on pc first
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
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
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
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!
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
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!)
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:
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
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
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 😁
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.
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
yeah, it’s only pc for now m, sorry
you could run a virtual box to make it work
