Instant Neopets vibes hehe

Also ofc a vast fantasy inspired map with various towns and cities, wilderness and obstacles on the routes between them.

I do fear that I am loading too many features onto it from the start but I am definitely aiming to make an intricate game over a simple one.

It would have to feature unique characters with different load capacities, skills and specializations when it comes to different "goods". Players bid on contracts in cities and try to cash in as much gold as possible. Lastly, a day/day/night cycle will determine different outcomes for event cards.

Kairo in C Tier let's gooo

tried it but wasn't for me either. I appreciate the artistry but it's far too complex and at the same time simplistic in design for me.

Have you had a look at Void Stranger? I've been looking for something to bridge the gap between BG3 and C:S2 for me and haven't really found anything equally cozy so far. Always happy for more recommendations!
