Maybe go over at first and show him how it's done....

Hi. I'll be honest, I like honesty.
It's one mechanic/building part of a lot of others. So, you will need to place a catapult, and feeding grass patches, and have enough Meeps around it to work it, but it's by no means a "remember to click every 60 seconds" kind of thing. It's also still evolving, and having "automated schedules" is also not impossible.
BTW. I'm saving this comment as the day I beat out The Wandering Village in art style! :)

I'll be honest, I like Wandering Village but I don't like the art style (yours I like very much) and I don't like the dependency on the health of the monster. It's kind of a twist to the genre but I like to build my own stuff in city builders and not be feeding a giant monster all the time.

Can you elaborate how much of the gameplay will be around keeping turtly happy?

If you pick the right Death, there's a whole lot to learn from him ;)

I learned more from death than I have from the living

The Meeps will do their best not to fight :)

Thanks. My favourite author :)

My partner is deep in the Disc World series. This reminds me of that! Looks cool!

Thanks for your support and the kind words.
I understand the conundrum of "people promoting their stuff" vs "being flooded with spam", so my approach is to at least converse properly wherever I'm willing to post my stuff, and to not overdo it.

Thanks! If all goes well it should release on Steam in June this year!

It looks awesome. Just the type of game i like. I hope you release it on Steam one day. Keep up the good work

No problem and best of luck with the game. I might even check it out myself, I've not played something like this in a while.

No offense taken, I really understand the conundrum of "allowing exposure posts" and "getting flooded". Thanks for being civil about it either way!

Yeah, I agree the game looks cool but it is still an ad at its core. I'm just wondering if that's within the rules of this sub. Are ads okay if they're from smaller teams? Are they okay if they have some back story attached that people might find interesting? Where is the line with this kind of content?

I enjoyed looking at this and reading OP’s comments on their thought process. Sure, OP is promoting their game, but it is more than that. It’s actually probably the coolest thing I read on Reddit this morning.

Yeah I've got nothing against you dude and the game looks cool, I honestly wish you the best of luck with it.

It was just a genuine question though, I'm not sure if ads are allowed here, or of it is grey area for ones like this that clearly aren't from some major company.

Hi. If the mods are unhappy about the post, no hard feelings if it gets removed. I'm trying to get some exposure without being too intrusive, but I also realize there are thousands like me (and many who don't care about the intrusion).
At least I always spend time conversing in the comments to try and show my appreciation for being allowed to post.

There's more going on behind the scenes than most people realize, that's for sure. But I had a brilliant tutorial to start off with!

gratz on the hexagons. that sht is harder than it looks

Indeed. Versions of this myth surfaced in a a few different cultures throughout the ages.
Thanks.

Thanks! Free Steam demo updated this week ;)

Are ads allowed on this sub?

I think many people dont know that the myth/theory of the turtle carrying our world is in fact not made up by Terry but has its roots in Hinduism and maybe other asian cultures too. I just found out myself not long ago.

Anyway, games looking decent man!

Hi. Yes, I actually became online friends with their team lead, Philomena a year or so ago after realizing the similarities between our games (she's also mentioned our relations in a talk she held recently). People will no doubt compare the two, but they've got a whole team, and I'm just a solo dev with loads of passion doing my best. Philomena has been very supportive, helpful and friendly. We genuinely developed our ideas completely independently - I have dev-logs from two years ago already showing my Turtle being able to move in space, etc.I hope people see it positively, the way we have, and not as some kind of copy-cat move on my side. If they don't, there's really nothing I can do but be open, honest and sincere about my journey. And it's been a wonderful one so far, from watching my first ever Unity tutorial in Feb2019 to having over 20K wishlists on Steam 4 years later!
