So I keep going with making my own assets.
Maybe not as pretty, but I have so much fun creating them.

It's so awesome to see other people create maps in my game. They are so different from how mine and I can learn so much about level design from them.
What a banger, thx @citrionmc.bsky.social !

Tooltips are quite challenging. They shouldn’t contain too much information nor too little. They should be clear at first glance, not stealing the show or being too boring. Am I on the right track with mine?

I skip tutorials in literally every game...
So I’m trying to design my game to be as self-explanatory as possible.
How clear are the gameplay scene and the power dynamics to you?

A few tweaks:
🔭 change in the perspective
🎨 color overlays
🗡️ simpler power indicators
went a long way after introducing 3D. Now it feels like ruling a kingdom again.

Tried the 3D build in a playtest for the first time. Visual upgrade? Huge.
Game feel? Not so much.
Time to fix the feel without losing the look...

What a feeling!
Despite it's still just a prototype. Other people actually enjoy my game, bringing up challenges and even make content it.
Never had that bevor.
@donythepony.com @nojoule.bsky.social Thx, for the awesome test rounds!

Leaving the prototyping phase behind and building towards a vertical slice. I'm so exited to bring all the parts together!

I'll replace the 2D with 3D in the near future. So there was no better way to waste time then make the 2D tiles less ugly. 😅🤣😭

Inverting the colors just felt like a really dumb idea... Now im not sure if I just go mad or the "not so normal" colors are actually quite cool.
