Rex by MateusBoga

A social management game where you play as the ruler of a kingdom trying to make it through the years.
Summon your court to resolve various issues that arise in the kingdom.
Make deals with your kingdom's folk, get boons and gift them back to gain their loyalty.
Manage your resources, and make sure your people don't starve or die in a pointless war.

@liniux The music stops when you're fighting wars / have a plague going on, it should restart when those go away
@escyll Thanks, yea it was a lot of work indeed, I felt like giving up a couple times :sweat_smile:
I can say however that your art style is cool and juicy as always, but you know that by now :smile:
admirable level of complexity in the game play,
Overall Really Good Work!
I liked the variety of town folk events, I was often ravaged by plagues and occasionally by thievery, my chancellor was never able to find anything wrong with anyone, no matter how hard she investigated :wink: It would be nice to see a specific devotion of each vassal.
Anyway, it's quite impressive for a one-man job in such a short time!
Atmospheric medieval experience, reminded me of one old game I was playing on 3DO though they're nothing alike mechanically.
It does have a certain learning curve which probably could be better explained in the game, but once you get it - it becomes more clear as to what kind of decisions you should be making.
This babe gets a fief...and this babe gets a fief. All babes get a fief!
*Civil war after my death? dunno don' care :laughing:
I got a little confused with the mechanics and some pieces of the gameplay, and the UI really made me feel that I should be able to drag it all the time, but those are really small things.
In the end my kingdom was decimated by plague and I was completely smashed at war, but had really enjoyed the experience of doing so lmao XD
