Overall great game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"snowdozer","author_uid":"1138392","time":"2019-05-03T21:59:05Z","epoch":1556920745,"modified":1556920745,"text":"this is a very creative idea!  i've never seen anyone make a game about competing gods, so this was certainly a fresh new take for me.  the game itself is a little empty, but it would take a lot of work to polish this idea into a full-fledged game, so i think you did great for 72 hours.  i think the best way to improve it would be to make it faster paced, with shorter days, less holding down the mouse button, and maybe even some direct god-to-god action?  i loved the concept, and i hope to see you expand on it in the future.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eduardo Yukio","author_uid":"1100556","time":"2019-05-04T20:43:24Z","epoch":1557002604,"modified":1557002604,"text":"Things I didn't like:\n - Very confusing, I didn't understand bery much what I was doing and for what purpose. Like, the sun and rain were very intuitive, but the population mechanic was not clear. When people had bubbles of humans should I put more population where they were standing or on the houses? If they wanted the animal, how could I provide it for them? There were other icons like the leaf and other plant that I didn't understand, I was taking care of the things that produced them, why people were sad about it? haha\n - The game starts abruptly with all the mechanics already there. The main thing that I learned searching for how to do tutorials is: \"Teach gradually through experience\". If the player started with only one mechanic and the game explained how to use it and what consequences happened, one mechanic at a time, it would be much less confusing.\n\nThings I liked:\n - The mood is nice, the music and graphics made me feel calm and happy to provide for my people xD.\n - The theme was fun, being a god that people sacrifice other people to.\n - The limited time to enhance each thing made me want to continue improving and continue playing. If you continue working on this game and make an objective system and such, I could see this being an addictive game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PeachTreeOath","author_uid":"1006470","time":"2019-05-05T02:35:34Z","epoch":1557023734,"modified":1557023734,"text":"Another ambitious game from you! It's really inspiring and tempts me to do something like this, though we tried a city sim ~10 LDs ago with questionable results. Curious what your dream sim game would be if you actually had the time to make a full one.\n\nReally cool presentation of the game. It's subtle but I like the slight camera angle tweaks you do to stand out a bit from others. The screenshot for the game actually drew me in because of this. The gameplay is solid though the one thing I really love to see in god games is the city truly flourishing with life. I'm sure you could achieve that affect with only a few tweaks but it crossed my mind. I think there's a lot of breadth to the game so I'm impressed with how much you were able to squeeze in in the timeframe, nice job.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/152943-b25551916bad2c7f6becfb4985e1444c.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/nyrvpyzplna6t5d\/Mono%20-%20LD44.7z?dl=0","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"54721","g_author":"1006938","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"255084","g_title":"Monotheizmation","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"6","g_site2_node_id":"152943","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.972427"},"nds":{"n_key":"152943","n_urlkey":"255084","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/monotheizmation","n_slug":"monotheizmation","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"6938","n_created":"1556527181","n_modified":"1556909153","n_version":"470989","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":152943,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":6938,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-04-29T23:43:33Z","created":"2019-04-29T08:39:41Z","modified":"2019-05-03T18:45:53Z","version":470989,"slug":"monotheizmation","name":"Monotheizmation","body":"![LD44_S2.png](\/\/\/raw\/a1b\/1\/z\/247ef.png)\n\n![LD44_S1.png](\/\/\/raw\/a1b\/1\/z\/247f0.png)\n \nTwo gods fighting for their bloody sacrifices offered by Aztec-ish village.
