Following my passion of making games.
Working on a turn-based strategy game with short session.

Weekly playtest sessions: https://discord.gg/pmprTKYjKx
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 !

Trying to make unique understandable buildings...

Do you understand what this one is about?!

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!

Working on a compact #4x multiplayer game with short sessions (20-40min). It combines chill economic growth at the beginning with unforgiving tactical wars to win the game.

Getting closer to a vertical slice with every day.

Do you understand the tooltips?

Trying to use as little text as possible.

Oh yes, Looks better!

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?

Less saturation works quite well.

Sorry, but I dont understand your question.

Hmm, not to much I guess. The cards are always belowing to the player. Would be more like a reassurance and vibe thing. Thats them in the scene.

Trying to find an artstlye for my ingame Actions/Tokens...

What do you think, with or without the player colors?

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...

A simple card stacking animation... Why do I have so much fun creating that stuff?!? 😅

Does this make any sense to you?

Trying to show the power balance per tile...

All the game dev gurus say: use asset packs. I tried it, but it did not felt right for me.

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

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. 😅🤣😭

Just a small 4X game I thought... 😅 Only a small Map Editor... 😭and deeper I went into the rabbit hole!

Even with my limited skill set, there is something magical in transforming scribbles into assets... I fully get why people are addicted to making art. 😅

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.
