In Crownbound, you are the ruler of a growing fantasy kingdom, but your heroes have a mind of their own! Unlike traditional RTS games, you cannot command your units directly. Instead, you must influence them through spells, rewards, and strategic kingdom management.

Indirect management/influencing of typical video game protagonists in a city builder is one of my favorite subgenres.

Nah, judging by your upvotes it’s definitely appreciated. I also subbed to the W&R community! 😉

Ooh, I have this one for being a cool in-depth micromanagement city builder, didn’t realize it also was an automation game. A friend with similar game tastes to mine gives it high reviews.

Also didn’t know about the AI art, though, and I’ve already bought it, so oof.

Thanks for posting here!

You probably switched it off in Settings or don’t play Campaigns.

Ended up bouncing off for some reason I can’t even describe. I can say it was less of an “absolutely not!” thing and more of a “hm this isn’t really as fun as I thought it would be and the games I already have provide more fun” thing. And I was so excited to really like the game, too.

I will say being able to follow the vehicles, both from the driver’s view (you can honk the horn! With a horse-drawn carriage the button to honk produces a neigh!) and from a third person view, was cool though. And mousing over people and finding they had NAMES was very unexpected and a pleasant surprise.

I remember Hades crediting the devs’ dogs for making the dog sounds that are in the game. I wonder if anyone ever credited the horse that made the sound effect for this game.

So I opened up the game for the very first time today before being called away to work before I could finish the tutorial or really get any impression of the game, besides: I was not expecting Transport Fever 2 to have voice acting.

Is this a metaphor I do not understand? Seems like you might have accidentally posted in the wrong community if not.

Oh hey, nice to find you on a different corner of Lemmy! Thanks for the in-depth review, we need more OC on Lemmy like this. I’ll probably check it out because of you.

Might want to crosspost to !puzzlegames@lemm.ee and the much more active !adventuregames@lemm.ee which has also decided to include puzzle games, despite its name.

Something about it seems just so weirdly self-promotional, instead of “normal” engagement with the community. I never pay attention to usernames but I have noticed this kind of content from the guy on this community several times, and just checked his posts and it’s all YouTube promotion (although I admit the ones mentioning “Dani” might not be his, not 100% sure). No regular engagement with the community as just another gamer. I suspect that’s why the community does not seem to generally like these posts. It is why I certainly don’t. The vibes I get from the posts are way less “hey I am a game dev, I’d love some feedback on my game!” and more “SMASH that subscribe button” but from an English language learner who has not learned the tricks of clickbait titles and the ways people grow those channels, so instead we get these constant posts for their YouTube on Lemmy. Of course, my judgment could be off, I’m certainly not actually clicking the videos to confirm whether my suspicions are right or wrong. For all I know that video has a misleading title and is a tutorial on how to paint a ceiling.

However, it is on topic and I don’t make the rules, and there’s something to be said for unpopular stuff still being allowed. I’d personally want this gone as the self-promotion type of spam but hey, not my community, and I could have judged them wrong.

I had no idea we did that! This link should let you open it.

This isn’t going to attract political comments like flies, no siree.

Game concept sounds fun though.

Thank you! Now that I think of it I probably should have just said “I can’t see the image” instead of uploading an image of the “can’t see image” icon…

Thanks!

Interestingly enough, raw lemmy.zip in browser, no apps. However if I open this post on ani.social I can see the image. Regrettably, I didn’t remember that as a solution to my problem until just now. (Also, hi, fellow ani.social user, this is just my .zip alt!)

I uploaded an image of the default Lemmy image that shows up when you cannot see an image.

very Abigail-core

(people who have an image, what am I missing out on?)
