I'd look forward to playing a more complete version. The guys hat was the thing that drew me in. Also, I like that you went with a historical mystery. :)"},{"author_name":"facelesstheone","author_uid":"55673","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 1:51pm","epoch":1472478360,"text":"Good start! Don't worry about not finishing the game since you've gained some experience. Night\/day cycle is a nice feature, but don't be stuck with small features unless you have core gameplay implemented =)"},{"author_name":"peterthehe","author_uid":"46596","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1472483820,"text":"The art was pretty, great work on the day\/night cycle!

Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36.

Nobody knows what sort of priests or wizards wore these beautiful artifacts, but we do know that there are solar and lunar cycles encoded into the embossing of the hat. I was imagining an Oregon Trail-style game where the player would have to anticipate solstices and conduct eclipse rituals to progress, but I got bogged down in cosmology and also the text system. Oh well, learned a lot on the way!","title":"Wizard of the Golden Hat (unfinished)"}
