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.

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?

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?!? 😅

What else can I do to stop people confusing ‘Buy’ and ‘Sell’?!💣

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.
