sort: go back
Dark mode is coming :( sorry for the trouble you all
Good concept! The biggest flaw that comes to mind is how cranky the interface is. It would be nice to fit, say, your resources always on screen, or really just more things in general on screen. Needing to finagle the tabs on and off just to look at your things is like spinning plates. Fun though, and especially very promising!
Please organize skills and resources into subcategories. It's difficult to find what I'm looking for sometimes.
Good lord that's bright, is Gondor calling for aid?
I really am enjoying it, I just wish the second set of class unlocks that lock you out of the others also had a warning like the first set, I accidentally locked myself out of a thing I was actually going for by getting a class I didn't realize was either/or.
Damn, every unlock is more depressing than the previous once you pass the first few
I was having a lot of fun with the fact that there were different routes that seemed distinct and explorable on their own, and then I got softlocked into religion even though I avoided it completely, which I guess is a good metaphor.
I'm with Lustre: I took the Church route, but everything is grayed out and I cannot reach Subdeacon because at least one of the "Needs" is not appearing. Adjusting Furniture and Housing isn't helping.
I got to Rat Warden and did a few things, but it seems like I am stuck or something. I don't see how I'm supposed to progress further.
Very fun. Took me the better part of a day. Feels alot like Theory of Magic. Great work!
An bug im exploiting is, if you open and close the settings menu, all pasively generated resources are maxed. Im using this because thought generation is soooooooo slow in the later stages
As a follow-up to my previous comment, knowing even a vague outline of how to advance classes would be nice. Me sitting over here like "I want to be the rat king type class, but do I really have to kill a cat?" etc.
"What if Theory of Magic but we made it Catholic?" Amusingly, undergoing Baptism continuously drains your ability to experience Gratitude.
The beggar's journey is in the scriptures.
If you can't get subdeacon, make sure you have all the skills. There's three major church skills - Ecclesiology, Latin, and Holy Studies (I think? I already did it and restarted so I can't check the requirements).
Oh! A suggestion is to have a page like Theory of Magic which lists the power-ups you have already gotten. If you can do it, an alt-text hover or dropdown to show the requirements you hit as well? That way you can keep track of the path you took in case you want to make notes for the future - or for another character if you're going to do a similar system to the Wizard's Hall.
inconsistent tabs depending on which u click first, would be nicer if they were in fixed (adjustable) positions each time they opened
Really enjoying this, thanks! Only just scratched the surface so far, but seems really deep so far!
massive menu
Needs a dark mode. All white is annoying.
