I bought Llama Villa from them a month or so ago. It was a fine little distraction, although it felt more like a proof of a concept than a real game (like a lot of stuff does on itch.io, which is why I like the place so much). The art was really top notch, as far as “proof of concept” goes, though!
Same, I love who they are and happy to buy. I just dont like maybe half of what they make, so I am going to stick to buying on demand.
I just saw a bit of The Historical Gamer talking about this but still have no idea what gameplay is like. Keeping an eye on it, however.
Being, as I am, a sucker for digital boardgames, has anyone played this?
Yes, I refunded it. It wasn’t fun or explained well.
Was the video tutorial any help?
Sadly it wasn’t. Admittedly I’m not a big board game person, but there are some I love, like Lords of Waterdeep, so I can grok board games. Not really this one though.
@Sonoftgb DId you ever play this? Also @BrianRubin did you give it a whirl as I can see you own it? I just received a 66% off voucher for it on steam.
I’ve not, sadly. I keep meaning to.
Well it came out at $1.70 after current discounts so it was worth a punt.
It completely fell off my radar.
So I picked up Exodus because board game 4X. There’s definitely a learning curve, and it reminds me of Eclipse on steroids. It’s definitely more polished, which is good.
I watched the video tutorial followed by a couple of videos of the physical game being explained, so I have the broad strokes, but the interface needs more explanation (it took me 10 minutes to figure out why I couldn’t move pops from one planet to the other even though I had researched the tech).
I think I’m going to watch the developers other playthrough to see if I can grok it a bit more, but so far this seems like a keeper.
This comes out today, and should at the very least be on more people’s wishlists!
Glad you have more patience for it then I did.

Project Warlock, which is exclusively releasing to GoG on October 18, looks like a pretty sweet retro FPS throwback!

Another board-game style historical tbs. Pushes all of my buttons, especially at my “Why the hell not?” price.
Anyone playing Fate Hunters, currently in EA? Reminds me of Slay the Spire.
Here’s their roadmap.

I imagine we’ll be in for a long wait, but here’s another sweet looking indie FPS, Prodeus, developed by a couple of ex-Raven vets.
Did you get to play Age of Viking Conquest a bit?
