hello everyone

MAIN SOURCE OF INSPIRATION:


The tutorial is in game ...

Story :

During the time between , Nero ruled the Roman Empire between 54-AD and 68-AD and, in his reign a massive fire spread out in Rome .In his attempt to rebuild it ,Nero increased the taxes .Unhappy with his tax policy the province of Gaul (Approximately France today) revolted ."

When told about the revolutions in his empire ,Nero decided that he will confront them with Art!

and that his singing when it reaches it's hearts will let them change their minds

It didn't happen though as he suicided , but this game is an alternate history where he get the chance to fight his way

Note :

If doing an action on Gaul try to do it on the upper part of the province (there is small bug in there).

Nice game though the strategy in isn't shining as expected
I would suggest it being more turn based not time based

I like how you managed to keep away from violence with a theme like this. Good job!

Not bad, although I found that the best strategy to apply is to spam 1-5 keys and hope that it will affect positively the province :).

Agreed that it lacks a bit of strategy, you can just spam any action on any province (I found I to be the most effective actually). Maybe slowing the pace and giving each province different reaction to each action could be cool?

Anyways, good job!

Good music, interesting idea. I think the clic detection is buggy, also an effect of mouse over would help

I love historical games and yours is done with a great sensitivity to the source material.

Well, maybe not the whole 'Nero singing to appease Vindex and the Gallic rebels' thing.

But upon his suicide a hysterical Nero is said to have bemoaned - "What an artist dies in me!"

Art indeed truly misses Nero.

Would recommend.

The gameplay felt nice on a laptop with a touchsreen.

I enjoyed the audio and the idea of nero using art to calm the masses. I think the 1-5 buttons should have been more strongly tied to the art and maybe deciding which of the 5 buttons to press should have had an impact, like certain areas enjoying a certain style of art more than others.
