Crown and Taxes by Hexela

[raw]
made by Hexela for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

A game about collecting taxes for a king Everything made by me. Sadly i was too slow to fit into compo deadline. The game probably contain a lot of mistakes. I was too tired and couldnt think straight. Wanted to make it for web, but had issues with uploading, maybe i will fix it later, but not tooday for sure.

For people who asked, I was inspired by "Reings" and "Sort the Court".

Cool game. Made me think of Sort the Court. The character design is great. I had fun playing it. Well balanced too.

Huh, not sure if it's Reigns or King's Dilemma, but good take either way!

Very cute art style and a really fun spin on the resource management mechanic. Funny dialogue as well! There were some spelling mistakes throughout, but that's reasonable within the time limit! If you continue developing this, some kind of checkpoint or progress report scenes would make a big difference. Well done, great fun!

Very cool game, loved the waddling of the advisors! The balance was nice too, always had a somewhat low resource that I needed to watch out for haha!

Hahaha "the dev is very tired". I really enjoyed playing this one! It's fun to play a game where it's about the words, and I have to guess the impact on my kingdom. I'm glad you set me up to be the bad guy, because if I was running my own kingdom I would feel bad being so greedy. This way I could just say "ehh, I need to get 500 gold for the king's son, so Imma just raise taxes on these poor farmers".

I'm always happy to see the Godot logo at the start of a game!

Well done!

Collecting feedback and trying to balance various numbers, it's a pretty good game!

This is a very beautiful game! It made me laugh many times! Thank you!
The concept is simple, but still engaging! I've finished the game (poor farmers🪦)

This is a pretty popular game genre — overall, it looks nice, but it doesn’t play very comfortably. It’s missing some kind of images or icons for the choices so you can roughly understand what they affect. Also, the choices blend together, and sometimes you have to pick them in different directions — sometimes in a row, sometimes in a column.
Another thing — you can click multiple times, and the stats keep changing even when there’s no text.

Excellent game. I love how distinct each minister looks and behaves. And I'm simply delighted by the sheer number of possible dialogue lines!

Cool game! Thought myself about same idea but couldn't invent how to affect the resources and you made it interesting! Sometimes it was hard to understand how you decision will turn out but I managed to collect 500, maybe some of decisions should have subtract money from your gained. I admire you writing all those dialogs!

It's really cool for solo play, but there wasn't enough music.

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting to come across a game inspired by Sort the Court :eyes: Thanks for making my day!

I enjoyed playing through this, the character designs were fun and you came up with quite a lot of scenarios. I lost on my first attempt cause I was going after the gold too aggressively, but I got it done on the 2nd try. Even if you missed the Compo deadline you did well to get it done for the jam as a solo project. Cheers!

Cute art style and surprisingly large number of dialog lines you fit in. I like collecting taxes as a take on the theme. A few text lines got clipped, but not a huge deal. 1 or 2 other game mechanics on top of the option selection could help break up the gameplay getting to 500, but overall cool complete game experience.
