Casting spells in a radius around your native tribe members is a great mechanic.\n- The spell casting mixing bowl was a nice touch to impact multiple tribesman at once.\n- The games theme and overall design were well made.\n\nWhat would I like to see done differently?\n- I spent the first half of the game not casting any spells because there was no instructions on how to do it. I pressed all buttons until eventually SPACE BAR made the difference. You must tell players to press space bar either in the instruction or in the game itself in the center-bottom of the screen: \"Your spell is ready to cast. Press [SPACE BAR] to use!\"\n- When the spells are cast, the tribesman should do something visually interesting. Right now, it's hard to tell if I've made any difference after the spell has been cast. The player needs visual JUICE to keep them going.\n- Finally, I had some tribesman just popping in and out of existence and I found that confusing. I wasn't sure if they were dying or just glitching.\n\nOverall, this is a really great game concept and I'd love to see it fleshed out to completion!","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":782075,"author_name":"Tano","author_uid":"tano","epoch":1649121055,"text":"Everything fell nice and smooth in the game.\nThe things I love about this is the ability to combine multiple spell.\nThe AOE effect is also pretty neat.\nThe map and the music really did add up to the game mood.\nThe lover is a powerful strategic spell I would say, the more people you have the less susceptible you are to a disaster.\n\nI guess the game is going too easy after the point your tribe is too crowded.\nthey even build house in the middle of the road and I can't get the other area since they block the road.\nAnother thing is the shaman should look different from everyone else. Since he looks to similar to the mob\nI couldn't recognize him for the first 1 minute\n\nOverall, great game (actually the best I have seen so far) and there is space to grow.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":785401,"author_name":"Snory","author_uid":"snory","epoch":1649141146,"text":"Hello\n\ni like the idea and i see a lot of work behind this funny take on resource management game. \n\nIt took me some time to find out that I can move with the shaman and that the spells are casted by space bar (well i had to read the instructions under the video). But after that I started playing.\n\nGraphics is nice, the music is really shaman like :D, not sure I felt impact of something being inevitable during my play, but i bet that for a long run it is here.\n\nSo it is a neat resource management package with potential for the future.\n\nPoints to work on futher:\n\n- Spells:\n  - Spells has cool graphic but too often I found myself without a spell to cast. An information about new spell available would be nice. Description of in game impact of the spell would also help a bit, but it is just a detail because on the other hand I like to trying to find out the mechanics by myself.\n\n- Crowding:\n  - Soon enough it was hard to move around","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":786717,"author_name":"Leiv Erik","author_uid":"leiv-erik","epoch":1649151323,"text":"You have something nice to build further on here!

I especially loved the graphics and the atmosphere! The disasters were also very pretty to look at :smile: \n\nThere are two things that I would suggest for a post LD version and they're somewhat related: \n\n- The UI (and the game in general) does not give you any feedback on what you need to do and what you can even do to interact. The only feedback it does offer is the production formula on the huts, but it's not very intuitive. I don't even know if people have to be within my radius to affect them with a spell? I can seemingly combine any number of cards when I cast a spell but: *should I*, except where the card has a x2 effect on other cards?\n\n- There should be animations that show what's going on. People gathering resources or working on something? Show a status icon with that resource above their head. Animate the effects of my spellcasting! Also, there should maybe be portents of disaster *other* than the doomsday progress bar. It would also be nice if people randomly panicked and screamed at the shaman to \"do something\"\n\nI think this has great potential, it just needs a little bit of UI \/ animation love.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":801883,"author_name":"makerart","author_uid":"makerart","epoch":1649250170,"text":"@udo thanks a lot, for your warm words and useful advice!
