Reply to comment by GideonGriebenow in "Make something small at first. Just get something published!" they said... "Hold my juice..." said I. No, I did not spend *all* my savings (I've got kids to support!), but after 2 years of nerdy-hobby mode, I've been working full-time on World Turtles for over a year now! by GideonGriebenow

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?

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! :)

Haha alright 😉 Looking forward to your game, I'll be testing the Demo within the next few days (after I'm done with the current AoE4 beta doh)

Be sure to include options to reduce or eliminate hunger rate of the turtle or manipulate other factors like resource gain or research rate. I'm a big fan of survival crafting games, but the sanity feature in Green Hell was simply too much on top of an already complex system. After turning it off I felt like I was able to learn. Sometimes doing a super relaxed playthrough to learn the game is a big help.

Agreed, there will be loads of options for the player. If you check out the demo, you'll see I have lots of options even for how to triangulate the terrain, and I will extend that to gameplay too. There can be a "full game", and then one where you switch things on or off, for you to enjoy it the way you want to.
