The programming for the systems on this game you can tell it really good! It was pretty easy so I never saw my villagers burn in the lava but thats probably for the best, I got attached to their names as well lmoa
love the voice acting, and really like the building system, had a little trouble getting NPC's to listen to at the beginning, but I started getting the hang of it later down the line, great job.
I am very interested in game mechanics But when I enter the construction mode, although the house has turned green, I still can’t use the right button to build the house. I don’t know why
@cloudlunar you must have a villager selected in order to build. When I first started making it, the build indicator wouldn't show at all unless you had a selected villager. This made it tedious to keep clicking the build button. I should have should it red if a villager was not selected.
@linus-szokody you are right about the build system. I didnt get around to. I first just wanted it to where you could only select one character. At the last minute I added the multi select. It did make the game harder and feel more frantic when you could only select on villager.
Took a little while to get used to the mechanics, but after I got the hang of it it was quite fun! I love the sfx, it reminded me of playing Warcraft2 and having 100s of villagers cut wood at the same time. I would have liked to see villagers return to their job after eating, not doing that makes it more challenging. Overall enjoyed the experience!
This is a solid game. The audio is great and there’s a lot of attention to detail. As you said earlier it could do with better feedback to the player when you can't build, because no one is selected. I’d also like a rumble or something a few seconds before the volcano erupts. That might just be because I’m not very good at forward planning!
Really nice to see a smart game as a submission! I was too scared to have first entry be a management\sim game but I enjoy them myself the most! Really happy that someone else did make them this jam!
I thought the game was well designed! I liked building up a lot of units. My suggestion would be to make buildings more expensive each time you build one, because once I got enough villagers I had way too many resources (but I also played on easy because I'm generally bad at rts's). Good game loop for the jam length though!
I think that's the best game on ld so far! I was getting a good chuckle every time I heard the voice, love that voice and . Although I was strongly impressed with villager selecting system, it could be (just slightly) improved. I don't like the default Unity buttons and sliders, but I guess that's a trade-off for a fantastic gameplay. I had a ton of fun playing that game, huge thanks for making it!

Let me play it again. Nice game.
Thanks for playing. I put in multi selection at the last minute. Wasn't going to have that at all.

Nice work!
