Bob the conqueror by Thijs Tak

[raw]
made by Thijs Tak for LD 40 (JAM)

Bob the conqueror is a hybrid rpg/strategy game. You follow Bob on his quest to conquer the world. Bob, being the great warrior that he is, does not need the help of others. No he lead an army of the undead and turns his enemies into allies. However, the undead are not quite healthy for the land. Everywhere they walk, darkness creeps over the land.

Hi everyone, this is our entry for ludum dare 40. This game contains a quick tutorial that explains most of the game and 3 level to help Bob conquer. While not perfect, please enjoy it and let us know what you think of it.

Original decription Bob the conqueror is a necromancer who hungers for power. You need to assist him in his conquest of war.

The image is not working but we will fix this later. We will also include a webGl build soon, there were some issues with that build.

Unexpectedly addictive. There are some bugs which don't let me finish the mission, just cant conquer the final castle but in rest game feels very smooth. Audio is impresive, graphic is decent and overall mood is hight. For sugestions, i think you should rewrite dialogs for shorter ones,it just donest motivate you to read more then a half. Overall very good job.

I like it's easy gameplay alongside a seemingly endless complexity. The Tutorial could have been briefer but i'm delighted that you took the time to create a comprehensive story.

The font is not the best and I think if you picked a better font it would have made the game look nicer, the graphics were strange but not bad. overall its a very interesting game that has a lot of complexity but is also easyish to learn, thanks to the tutorial. Also gameplay is good. Nice work!

The music is really good but I don't feel like it fits the game. The art is OK. The battle system seemed interesting but wasn't particularly challenging, 90% of the time I just clicked 'Fire bow' and won instantly.

I enjoyed it, the world has a cool story and the dialogue is nice. Its personal preference but the music didn't fit music with the game much. If you worked on the game further improving the combat system would be great.
Nice job ! :thumbsup:

Fun game. This kind of game isn't really my cup of tea but it was made well. I did experience a bug where the ui for the battle grew though.
Other than that it was great. Good job!

I liked the music, but it felt very out of place in the game. My favourite part was taking over a castle early, and instantly taking control of all farms and town of the colour.

The music doesn't fit the gameplay, game was somewhat fun, the battle system is quite easy to master so after a while the battles feels unrewarding.
Overall the game is ok.

Nice concept.
However the music didn't really fit the game in my opinion.
Otherwise good job.

I appreciate the amount of work that must have went into this. It's pretty fully featured. With that said, the tutorial/intro is a bit long winded for this audience (I kinda did the same thing with my game... :cry:), and the battle mechanics are a not as clear, I found myself dying a lot for reasons beyond my comprehension not able to finish the tutorial, and lastly the music was kind of out of place. The banter during the tutorial is pretty good, and it's nice to see effort like that in this kind of entry. Overall, I think it was decently made and clearly had a lot of effort put into it.

There's a lot of shit in this game and it doesn't feel overwhelming or over-technical to play. I beat the 3 main levels which had properly scaled levels, but the tutorial was slow and unbearable.
There were a lot of differently seeming ways to play, however they all kind of felt the same and lead to almost identical outcomes. also: I tapped into your pandora account or some shit for music
Really enjoyed this game, made me feel like a proper conqueror.

That was certainly an experience. The game has a lot of mechanics and content, but I'm not convinced that it all comes together into a cohesive whole. The level of detail in the combat mechanics is undermined by the fact that most strategies lead to more or less the same outcome and the player's overall impact on the battle is offset by the player's army. I like the music, but it doesn't seem to fit the whole medieval fantasy aesthetic at all. It's also nice to see what appears to be the work of a fellow vector artist. I ran into a few different bugs, most notably one where I couldn't clear level 2 because even after I claimed all castles, there was an unallied, unattackable town. I did clear the other two, with a few deaths. Good work!
