I would genuinely consider making a general animation a Wallpaper Engine. Really really good stuff here.\n\nThe game itself was a little confusing to understand - I wasn't sure what levelling different buildings did, nor how they affected my resources (not with regards to the cost, but to how, if at all, they would speed up my resource gain). I always had plenty of villagers to sacrifice, and had everything max level within plenty of time before doom. The actual doom cutscene was absolutely amazing, and I was looking forward to seeing what happened. When it came out and I got the good ending, ooh that was satisfying. Just iwsh the actual journey there had been more difficult and strategic.\n\nMore explicit tutorialisation probably would have helped wiht that a lot, but I know this is the LD, and so that's a very common problem. I'd love to see this expanded and refined. The sound design was also great, music moody.\n\nWell done, everyone involved!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Knightsunder","author_uid":1106225,"time":"2018-12-23T23:02:02Z","epoch":1545606122,"modified":1545606122,"text":"@pickens-inc Thank you man, the feedback on the artwork has been so great. \nAye, the tutorial section was certainly the part where we fell the shortest - will definitely need to make that a higher priority next time around. Was a shame too - we got to the final few hours and the tutorial was just the basic description it is now, and the last two of us who were awake (myself and Fusionnist) were far too tired to even suggest the other person do it, lol (I was up for 27 hours whilst making the final God animations for the endings). \nWe are actually planning on making a full release, with quite a few additions, changes, and a lot more UI and tutorials.. \nThank you again!

Love the music and atmosphere. Gameplaywise, I had no idea what I was doing, since the stats are hidden by default.

Some text snippets by the god or villagers would also give some hints for what is going on perhaps. \n\nNonetheless, nicely done!
