Kingdom Trainee by ukirain

[raw]
made by ukirain for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Trainee replaces the king while he is away. Will he be able to solve all the problems of the kingdom using his meager mind and ingenuity? Perhaps it can, if you pimp him a couple of ideas.

Keeping the kingdom alive with a card style game - great entry.

Really unique idea! The cards were a bit random at times, but it's a really nice entry overall.

I really liked how this game manages to be at the same time interesting and casual. Very enjoyable to play. The gaphics are great, they give a real identity to characters about whom we don't know much, especially the king's son x). GG !

Very well thought out and put together, I like how your choices influence the outcomes. Loved the art and mood of the game :)

I really loved the artwork, it is super impressive. Sometimes I didn't have the cards that I needed which sucked, but I built a lot of taverns in the meantime lol

Artwork was amazing for this game. Sometimes it seems confusing when some cards would work for the same problem, but other than that, great game!

Nice game ! I sometimes a hard time understanding what I was doing right, since even when I dropped a random card in order to get rid of it, it triggered a good reaction. In total, I had four bad reactions, even though I thought there were somehow appropriate. Anyway, I liked playing it :purple_heart: !

This is nice, Looks very good and has a nice concept. The game has a bit too much RNG though, it is clear we sometimes don`t have the cards necessary! biased (or controlled) Random would improve things a lot; especially at the start. Still good!

My decisions worked really well and that's strange. Won the game in the first try.

The music is cool and the illustrations great :) good entry

It's a neat idea and a slightly different take on the Reign concept. The weird grammar and wording made it hard to understand what was going on, I can appreciate if the developers aren't native english speakers but in this case I would avoid making a game so heavily reliant on descriptions. It wasn't clear what the value on the card was since it didn't feel like I had a functional resource to spend. I also wish I could more easily preview the text on the cards, felt clunky to have to pull them out. Did love the art, really sells the slovenly prince idea. Altogether still a good job.

Im was missing some sounds at the beginning and also some animations would make the game much more interesting, and by the end the problems just kept repeating I would add bit more. Overall it's a good game

The art really drew me in to this. I didn't understand why some of the events and chocies were a bad match. The music was nice too :)

I liked the art style a lot, and the game mechanic is a really good idea. I liked having to make the best of my limited hand while people came to me with their problems.

I found a bit of dissonance between the wording of the cards and the outcomes: e.g. the 2 money card sounded quite dismissive even though it was pretty good, most of the church cards sounded quite weak although they were sometimes the right solution. I was surprised how often I got away with what seemed like a weak card leading to a good outcome, and the bad outcomes didn't always seem "fair". I think some randomness (or at least hidden information) is good, but a few tweaks to the text might make it seem fairer.
