Build a village while making sacrifices to ward off plagues.
Your goal is to generate enough resources to make enough sacrifices to prevent plagues.
The game is very much about sacrificing your population to appease the God. So the primary goal is to get a steady supply of humans to sacrifice, which makes it hard to keep your farms going. But, with such few resources, you will likely have to sacrifice many pigs before you can increase your population.
About this Entry
The game play is not well tweaked at the moment (never enough time).
None of the sound is mine, please download to view the sources.
~~I did not make the four clipart images at the top (people, pig head, pile of logs, corn).
~~All other graphics where made by me. Since this is officially a Jam Entry, I guess I can keep working on it...~~
Edit: R2 released (Dec 3, 2018 4:55PM UTC-500)
All graphics, for better or for worse, are mine. Sorry about that...
R2 also fixed a couple of bugs which I doubt anyone would have noticed.
Edit: R3 released (Dec 3, 2018 6:25PM UTC-500)
Corrected starting resources. I modified them for testing, and then forgot to unmodify them.
How to play
I forgot to add how to play the game in game, so it is here instead... :expressionless:
* Click on the little buildings in the center, to place them. Use them to generate resources.
* Farms do not generate resources unless they are managed by someone. Click the plus icon on the buildings to add people to attend them. The icon will then indicate how many people are assigned to the farm.
* Once a building has generated resources, a gold star will appear click it to gather the resources. Important: You can only gather as many pigs as you have corn for. So ensure you have enough corn when you click the Star
* Build a Church to make sacrifices, human sacrifices are the best, but enough pigs will suffice.
* Build Hovels to increase your population to sacrifice or tend your farms. Note: Your population is hungry, and with each event progression, those without pigs will die.
* Build Tree Farms to produce wood to build more farms, hovels, or church's.
* Build Corn Farms to support your pig production. Fortunately, pigs don't eat once they are "gathered".
* Build Pig Farms to sustain your population and make sacrifices.

Post Ludum Dare Update: R4 released (Dec 14, 2018 11:23AM UTC-500)
This is a post release, please play the original above and rate before playing this version!
R4 is meant to be the version I would have created if I had another 24-48 hours. The win condition may be the exception (when I thought of the game Friday night, I was assuming there wouldn't be a win condition).
* Tweaked the audio and graphics; hopefully they are better...
* Added audio controls.
* Added difficulty levels.
* Added a win condition.
* Fixed runaway timers.
* Enhanced people management.
* Made it clear what resources each building is lacking.
* Wood is now required to produce a baby.
