If you have anything to say about a specific card, press 0 (numpad) to display the name of the card :) it will be easier for us to find out which one your talking about :)

Would love to see some more extended "stories" that come back after some time etc.
Nice entry, I enjoyed the time I spent with the Gods of Discord (for some reason after reading the title first thing I expected was a Discord Server simulator game)
@ldp I'm thinking how to play with this basic idea and add more games in the game (like the dungeon phase in the first reigns). I'm pretty sure there is some cool things to do ^^
@aerloth the sink is not on fire 😂 it's tentacles. Don't take the joke about the northern France first degree, it's a typical cliché that we had here (like a lot things we wrote for this game, it's fulllll of cliché). Our game system allow us to have some extended stories but the feature appeared lately and the writing was almost finished. So it was hard to add it in the lasts mi
nutes. (and you are not the first one telling me that they think it was a Discord game XD)
The length of the game is perfect for an homage, though.
Some feedback:
- I got very often the same cards again, but it's enderstandable since it is a jam game ^^
- I did not feel like a tension was growing up, with more instability setting in, or cards that change the experience overtime so I make mistakes.
- About the controls, I was really often confused on the fact that "left click" is a sort of agree and "right click" is disagree. You could argue that it is the case with the swipe gameplay of Reign, but in the case of a mouse, the "validate" input is more standard as an action to Validate something...
- Since you made it on Unreal, I guessed that perhaps you would have a transition to a 3D game world at some point xD Or perhaps it is the case when all success are unlocked? :stuck_out_tongue:
* About the cards, it's a real easy fix, I never imagined that with amount of cards we made I'll had to do it X) that's all
* Our game is not balanced at all and it's a real problem (I need to do stats to track how much every god is affected). A good add could a be downward spiral mechanics : the worst it is, the worst your cards will be.
* I had many feedback about the controls. In facts I was lazy and didn't wanted to make the swipe system to focus on the core gameplay, so I just plugged two inputs with a secondary click to confirm a choice. It confuse many people (some of them didn't understood that you have to possible choice, one on right and one on left and that you could choose the one you wanted). All our choices didn't match the "agree" / "disagree" pattern and during the writting phase, everybody didn't choose the same input for the same choices.
* Using unreal for this is completly overkill I know ahah but it was the only tech that everybody know in the team and it was also the only one installed on our computers X). We decided to use that before the jam and before knowing the theme (the other members of the team are all 3D artists so naively I thought we will make a 3D game.)
