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...

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. 😅🤣😭

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.

Quick prototyping question: how should actions be represented in my 4X game? Two rough ideas on the table — cards or meeples. Which one clicks more for you?

There’s a very thin line between making a prototype clear… and slipping into premature polishing.
Not sure which side I’m on right now. 😅

The first multiplayer test went well…
At least for my brother, who completely destroyed me in my own game 😱😭😂
Still, it was so much fun — and for the first time I feel like I’ve really found the spot where I want to make a game out of this prototype!

I just draw it... :P So it correlates with the time spent on the project. I also note down feelings, achievements and such stuff.
So far it helps me alot to understand what to do change in the next project, and see if it actually changed something to the better. It looks like this:
