I see, yeah that's more like the later Settlers games, mine is more like the first 4 games in the series.

Replaced some of the pixel art with models, although I'm unsure if these guys really look like goblins or more like dino-men

Think I will change the graphics again :P

I don't really notice any messed up colors unless your guy isn't meant to be pink of course. Your game looks a lot nicer than mine actually.

So do you auto-generate quests? Seems kinda complicated.

I myself added a working sawmill!

And changed all of the characters into chickens for some reason :P

So your quests should get more and more harder as the game progresses?

Are you going to get multiple people in your town?

Thanks for the compliment btw, I think the chickenmen are quite cute too. And it's something a little bit different I guess.

Added a stone mine

Added grain farm, iron mine, schoolhouse

Thanks Ninja Dog - what sort of battle system do you want to use?

Also, should I create coal mines, a charcoal burner, or just fire with wood in the blacksmiths I will be adding next?

Added charcoal burners, which consume very large amounts of wood and are very slow.

Regarding the buttons - the building picutres are actually stretched both on those and on the map, but the 4th building you were talking about is actually the correct aspect ratio on the map, rather than on the button, where it is squashed so it can fit within it.

I will be happy to provide you with feedback on your game of course. I'm actually kinda curious about it because it seems like an interesting blend of  kind of a a JRPG with a settlers style game. Of course I have no idea what your storyline is. 

@NickJons, What "FAQ entry"? 

Or are you talking to Ninja Dog?

Added a metal furnace, however the perspective is wrong with this building somehow :P

@Ninja Dog

Yeah I have full intentions of having the chickens be one of the factions in this game! And yeah I'm not doing this exremely intensely every single day, it's not my full time job yknow (tho I spend almost as much time on it as I would on one :P)

What sort of enemies are you going to use? Who's gonna be the villain in Ninja Dog Realm?

Also, like I mentioned to Rainbow Design, it's not even likely that I finish this game at all, it's more something I'm doing for the hell of it, not really to create an interesting product and certainly not a sellable one.

Japanese Role-Playing Game. Just the fantasy setting reminds me of it.

I think there will be a while before I need any testers, as I don't have any missions or anyhting yet, just this single map with one player and no goals or enemies.

Added an armoury so you can make guns for your chickens. 

There is some sort of bug with it tho where it stops producing after having made just a single gun. :P

One could also add bronze to the game and use that to make cannons, but I figure iron will be just as good.

And that brings up a question, what are you actually going to use gold for in this game? 

Maybe I shouldn't even include it, but it's just such an iconic resource that it almost feels wrong not to have it.

Are your buildings going to look different when upgraded?

I'm going to have a system where you need a school to educate the chickens to learn better skills which will make their buildings more efficient. But you need to produce paper and ink to run the school, and also have a teacher who has previous experience in the skill she's trying to teach others.

Paper will be produced at a paper mill from wood and water. Ink will be produced by the fisherman (squids!)

Eh, probably not, for now they just have numbers, as is the case in real life chicken farming. ^^

Sorry for my late reply, I realize that I might be getting a little lazy with this game, in the latest couple of days I've mainly been working on music and sfx so I haven't got much now to show visually.

Also perhaps this thread is more suitable for SOYP now? It's starting to become more of a project showcase, but I guess we are also discussing features of the game and such.

Oh, I was thinking of composing it myself, but I might also hire someone, I've been asking around to many different musicians on this site too see what they have to offer.

Well it's like with music like so many other things, how "good" you are depends highly on who you compare yourself to, I mean none of my tracks are that great either?

I would like to hear your songs tho. Maybe I can help with some ideas or something. 

And while your automated music engine seems like an interesting idea, I highly doubt it will be able to create good or coherent songs, but we'll see :)

Is it somehting like this that you've also coded?

https://pernyblom.github.io/abundant-music/index.html

I personally did not like this or any other automated music generators, the music they make sounds very samey to me, with no real sort of drive or interest to it, if you get what I mean.

But I might just not understand how to use them probably. 

I don't know what to say, I think your problems can be fixed, but in order to analyze and explain this I will kinda need to be harsh towards your song, I feel.

And I don't wanna pretend like I know a "right way" which is better than yours. There is no right way to make music after all.

That won't be too easy if I don't know what you know, or how much experience you have, but I could start by asking you what you used to record this, to make sure we're even using the same program. Also I would like to ask you what time signature your song is supposed to be in. And if I get too annoying and smartassy you need to say ^^

I use FL studio as well, so that's good. :)

I have a bit of a hard time figuring out what I want to say here :P I think the song's rhtyhm is confusing, this distracts the listeners attention and makes the song kind of unfit for a calm background theme, but there are so many ways to make different rhythms and I can't say which one you would like or want the best?

I think maybe you should place the notes you want with the mouse instead of recording with a keyboard to start out, this will give you a more visual indication of the time signature, because as you stated yourself, judging from this song it does not seem like you are sure how to measure it.  (if you already used the mouse for this I'm sorry, it just doesn't sound like you did)

I guess if you want to, we can build up a song together, sharing the flp or midi files back and forth. I have plenty of time for this today and I think it could be fun. It would be easier over discord though. What do you think about this idea? You don't need to credit me or use this song in your game or anything, it would just be an example project.
