My biggest challenge will probably be having something playable in time(like many others), but let's do this!

What I'll be using:

• Game Maker
• Aseprite, Photoshop
• 1BITDRAGON, Audacity, Bfxr

I should reduce my scope instead of releasing a broken game with more content. I have now updated the content of my game. It is not quite where I want it to be, but it is playable! I changed my category to Extra and will continue updating the game! Stay Tuned

To celebrate the latest update, players will be able to put their own pigeons in my game!

New features: - More Events, - Improved text events and outcomes - Tip of the day to help players understand what the game is all about.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/feathered-envoys Go on my game page and download the pigeon template. Upload it in a comment and I will add it to the pool of pigeons you can get in Feathered Envoys!

Currently Working on: - Save system so you will finally be able to close the game and pick it back up later. (Almost Done!) - Pigeon love. Some actions will increase the pool of love. You will be able to spend love point to temporarly boost, events or resurrect a dead pigeon. - Two steps events. (Once you are in an event you will be able to make more choices or use boost to change the outcome. - Areas of the kingdom. Depending on where you are going, the actions will change. - Unlockable Events. Each Map zones (30 in all) will unlock a special event once you connected it. The event will be available in the following game runs. - Difficulty.

V 0.6.1 has released!

• More than 30 Daily Actions,
• Many more outcomes,
• Randomly generated map layout

My best score is 65 days to connect the whole kingdom and prevent the war!

Greetings, Postmasters!

At last! I have an update. Feathered Envoys v0.7! Our daring pigeons have been working hard to keep the kingdom at peace, but now they're back with some fresh new features.

I've finally added a proper ending to the game. No more confusion and your pigeons can now retire in peace (for the one that survived that is.)

Thanks to @cureja for providing a custom skin with their review:

You can also make your own skin and leave it in a comment on my page. There's a template there.

You can now choose the number of areas to connect in your game. Pick between 6, 9, or 12 areas to customize your gameplay experience.

I've also changed the game loop and improved the day and night cycle animation. The day loop makes more sense and you can now skip and fast-forward most actions to zoom through the game faster!

So, try the new v0.7 now, and leave a review! Thanks!
