A deep sim game can be a hard sell but I thought this worked well. A future version with a UI overhaul could go a long way toward helping people pick-up-and-play, and make it a little less like you're playing a spreadsheet. Well done overall!"},{"author_name":"boardtobits","author_uid":"57679","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 8:52pm","epoch":1440708420,"text":"Clever idea, you could do a lot with balancing being mayor and hunting your citizens (e.g., how much do you fund the city watch? what happens when a celebrated vampire hunter comes into town?). I liked the old style map look, too. Hopefully you take this game further!"},{"author_name":"jofra","author_uid":"56160","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 8:54pm","epoch":1440708540,"text":"Very cool concept! but hard one to fully understand. \rthe graphics are very nice and clean.

I want to like it so badly! Fix some issues, and this could be so much fun. Namely:\r\r- Don't front-load us with the tutorial. There's no way we can remember all that information.\r- Don't let us spend more money than we have. There are already 2 other lose conditions that work fine. It feels bad when we have to start over because a preventable mistake.\r- Give us a warning when we're running low on something important\r\rThese points only bother me because the game has so much potential, and I would love to play a complete version."},{"author_name":"MintArcade","author_uid":"35966","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1440709440,"text":"Very inovative spin of theme!

I thought the art was simple, but fit very well with the look and feel of the rest of the game. I managed to fill the entire map before forgetting to hunt.\r\rIt didn't seem like it was completely finished -- I had sheep pastures producing wool, but the tailor wasn't using them... and I never had silver or iron, so the blacksmith and jeweler never did anything. It might have been better if those options \/ resources had just been left off completely.\r\rOnce I had hunted enough times, I knew the "right" answer for all of the different scenarios, so it basically became a balancing reputation vs. strength game at the end. It would've been nice to see some randomness thrown in -- like, sometimes yelling at the thief works, and sometimes it doesn't.\r\rOverall, very impressive that you were able to get something like this done in 48 hours!"},{"author_name":"jofra","author_uid":"56160","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1440711000,"text":"Very cool concept! but hard one to fully understand. \rthe graphics are very nice and clean.
