First off, I really like this game!
Bugs:
- Got stuck with an hourglass cursor and couldn't do anything. Possible because I hit ESC during a tutorial screen? (then started a new game)
- Placed first stone generating building then could interact with anything.
- Loaded game after that, had the same village but balances seemed to be reset?
Feedback:
- While there is a lot of really good design in this, still needs a ton more player feedback.
- Tooltips/hover overs will be your friend.
- Could you explain the consequences of events/weather when the happen? What's a Recount? Did we vote?!
- Not sure what the zoom does other than fun.
- Why can't I feed my people bread?!
- Not sure how being an oracle helps yet. I had a lot of trouble parsing what the balances did and how I could effect them. Or counter act them? I sort of got the heat/cold. The health I get that people got more sick, but what could I do? And the other I have no idea! It seems like a good system for the game, but really needs to focus on a) giving good & actionable tips up front and b) giving good feedback when something worked or didn't work.
- This one may just be me, but I'd love to see the research tree UI look more well tree like as is spreads out on your possible choices and you can see future choices. I know you lose the element of surprise, but for those who will play more often it will make that meta game more interesting.
Great game! Best of luck!
