Yeah so, as fatswan (and others) have explained, I have the same problem, the ranger camp has some game breaking bugs. Also, if there's a building right next to the darkness, warriors sometimes ignore the enemies, and if you have enough healers, this can put you in a loop, forcing you to restart. But besides, the game is really fun, and enjoyable, I look forward to updates soon! ^^
(ps. there could be a troop that the player can control, to make them a little more active during the night)
Should be fixed now! I have thought about adding a player hero to run around at night, but I'm torn, as part of the fun of this game seems to be just watching it play out
The warriors could have a bit more of aggro - enemies frequently attack stuff and the nearby warriors just stand there and do nothing - or react way too late
*** BUG REPORT *** First of all, I love the game! - I started my third match, and the game stucked in a eternal loop of "Start the Night" no matter if the UI show day or night, and enemies stop to show and I got stucked in an eternal money and recourses farming without any other game play. Cheers! The game is super fun to play!
i've discovered a game-breaking bug with the ranger building. it seems you're not allowed to place the ranger building next to anything (which isn't explained in the tooltip, and presented great frustration until i realised what was going on in a second run. i would recommend explaining this fact to the player).
the bug: if you place the ranger building down, you can then place other buildings within its no-buildings area, at the very least houses, doing so utterly breaks the game:
the ranger building's little circles (which indicate connection to a forest) remain eternally highlighted. the offending building can't be moved. in fact, no placed buildings can be moved at all.
further, choosing "begin night" begins a night with no enemies. the night "ends" correctly, in that money and choices are rewarded, but the night counter doesn't advance. the first time this happened to me was exactly on night 5, so i kept getting torches and one extra reroll, which was very funny.
i played in this enteral night 5 for a while, placing torches to expand my area and upgrading methods of acquiring money in order to level up faster in order to get more upgrades. the eternal night 5 never ended, and i got bored of waiting for the bug to fix itself. at this point, i didn't understand the cause, and assumed it was a hiccup in the night counter.
the second time the bug happened, i understood the cause was placing houses directly next to a ranger building. this time it was on night 10 and i kept getting 1 extra choice (the dialogue still said 4, but i had 5, then 6, and then they went off the screen). i still couldn't move any placed buildings, enemies continued to not spawn, and the night counter didn't advance.
that was probably more detail than you needed.
besides that, this a very fun game! i made it night 19 twice but have yet to survive 20.
EDIT: oh, i'm not entirely sure if it's a bug or a questionable UI choice, but i've found that when placing buildings they appear in my cursor in a different position (a little higher) than they will when placed. this makes trying to place things neatly rather confusing, and requires trial-and-error for things like linking up towers with barracks.
A really nice game! However, I have encountered quite a few bugs. One common one is the game not changing from day to night, and clicking on "Begin Night" just gives money as if the night passed (but no monster spawned). This first happened when I completed the game. There's a lot of other small glitches, such as sometimes not being able to move buildings at all, or healers are turned into sorcerers automatically when starting a new game, or the circle animation at the beginning of the game looping annoyingly. But great job, keep it up! Are you planning on making the code open source?
If you play long enough(and your setup is good) things start gettong a bit weird.
I spawn so many units each night it starts lagging and I can no longer move Buildings after Placing them. As is visible in the picture above, the UI also starts to struggle at some point.
As is visible in the screeshot (two Ranger Camps on the top left), some of the buildings wouldn't unselect after being placed. Placing buildings in general was pretty floaty and sometimes took a few tries.
You couldn't move already placed buildings anymore (as in, they were impossible to even pick up) and the card selection starts to be hard to click with a lot of cards. I think that's it.
Honestly though, I was pretty amazed that the game still ran at all, I was putting quite a bit of a strain on it
The warriors could really need updates on their targets. Just got stuck in a loop of out healing the damage and the warriors just stands around. Otherwise, it is a rare treat of a game :)
Really fun game. Just wanted to report an issue which is that rangers can't shoot enemies that are visible on the map and attacking. In this instance it even meant being unable to progress because the wall is being healed faster than the enemies can attack it, but none of my attacking units are taking care of the enemies.
It's really annoying that all Warriors all target the same enemy every time. Spreading several Barracks over the map should mean that they split up sensibly, but they will instead run to the far end letting enemies right next to them destroy your base.
I'd just request that Warriors update their attack priority far more often
This! I agree, just got stuck in a loop because the soldiers stopped targeting enemies after going to the wrong side first and now my healers are out healing the damage.
Best game of the jam for me, the concept and execution are amazing, I had a lot of fun playing it and reaching night 20 ! Please make a full game at some point it's so good, like actually
I love the idea of the game, reminds me a lot of rampart and graphics are so good. I don't mean to be harsh but AI of the units is trash(most noticable with warriors), they all go and attack the same enemy and I usually feel cheated when warrior from left side goes all the way to right and leaves his side of the map undefended. Maybe have Kingdom Rush style zone around baracks in which warriors will attack. No rally point just circle that they protect and attack once enemy enters. That shouldn't be too hard or time consuming to implement using circle collider and I think it would go a long way with QoL of the game. Boss might be harder this way tho, so maybe having an option to circle protect or attack anywhere on the map would be good.
Sorry for rambling, I just found the loop of the game really interesting and was slightly triggered everytime all the warriors go to attack one enemy on left side while there is 3 on the right.
Great and fun game mechanics, kudos! A few points to improve:
- After 30th day, when I have a lot of units, the fps is starting to drop drastically at nights. I guess the arrow particles are one of the main causes.
- At the end of the night, the flying coins are on top of the card selection menu, obstructing it.
Nice idea and I like the style. But is it intended that I don't get new cards? After placing some building I had basically nothing to do because I didn't get new cards.
Yes, I made it through several nights. After a night, I can choose a new card. If I choose a building, it is added to my playable cards, if I choose an upgrade, nothing happened. So basicalli after playing my initial cards, I can play one new card at most per day but often, I can do nothing at all.
You can move your existing buildings around, you need to defend & get more gold making buildings to get new buildings. The upgrades are having an effect, it's sometimes just stat changes

Nice game. Made it to day 41.
Sorcs are op :) they melt anything even at 52 days and I finally got bored.
Nice!! Yeah the balanced might be a bit wonky at the top end

I had the same thing on my second game - i also couldnt move buildings anymore and i think one of the buildings stayed permanently selected?
I had the same bug on second game. Not sure if the ranger camp caused the glitch.
Yeah the ranger camp had an issue but it should be fixed
Thank you! Those bugs should be fixed now

same here
Thanks for the feedback! The ranger camp issue should be fixed now

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on Ubuntu.
Same issue on windows. But until this (wave ~15 I think) the game felt really nice great work :)
This should be fixed!~
I think I've broken the game, however.
If you play long enough(and your setup is good) things start gettong a bit weird.
I spawn so many units each night it starts lagging and I can no longer move Buildings after Placing them. As is visible in the picture above, the UI also starts to struggle at some point.
Woah... I assume this is not actually wave 24?
This IS wave 24. I had a pretty insane run, with a lot of sawmills and sawmill upgrades
Woooah, that's amazing. What UI issues were you having specifically?
As is visible in the screeshot (two Ranger Camps on the top left), some of the buildings wouldn't unselect after being placed. Placing buildings in general was pretty floaty and sometimes took a few tries.
You couldn't move already placed buildings anymore (as in, they were impossible to even pick up) and the card selection starts to be hard to click with a lot of cards. I think that's it.
Honestly though, I was pretty amazed that the game still ran at all, I was putting quite a bit of a strain on it
Ah! I see them now. Thanks for letting me know :)
how to make it on full screen
possibility to change control ? i'm on azerty
hi! love your game- it really do be tiny tho:
is there any way to get it in full screen i'm missing?
You can press ctrl+F11 on Windows (but I'll improve this on the new version)
not working for me :( but i'll keep an eye out for the next release ^^
Add Tavern to boost house economy and add Adventurer's guild to hire adventurers that levels up everytime they slay creatures?
Nice game, I can report the Linux build works just fine (says untested).
The warriors could really need updates on their targets. Just got stuck in a loop of out healing the damage and the warriors just stands around. Otherwise, it is a rare treat of a game :)
Really fun game. Just wanted to report an issue which is that rangers can't shoot enemies that are visible on the map and attacking. In this instance it even meant being unable to progress because the wall is being healed faster than the enemies can attack it, but none of my attacking units are taking care of the enemies.
Really cool game! By the end I got a pretty nice looking castle too <3
In the end I made it to night 40 with the whole outer map being covered with walls, towers and barracks
Neat game! One gripe-
It's really annoying that all Warriors all target the same enemy every time. Spreading several Barracks over the map should mean that they split up sensibly, but they will instead run to the far end letting enemies right next to them destroy your base.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah this jam version has pretty shitty AI - I'm hoping to improve that with a post-jam build
warriors don't always attack when they have to

Did you click the begin night button?

I replayed it and now a understand it better. Maybe I was misled by false expectations. It's a very nice game and I love the pixel art style.
