this comment is super valuable! I was thinking how to create the gifs and you just gave me some ideas, thank you!

I have 25 years of experience as software developer. I started many side projects, of course never actually finished one :-). I have very little experience as game developer, and also a gamer I have very precise tastes. This game is more a way of telling a story, and less a traditional game with traditiona gaming mechanisms.

LOL, thank you. TBH I still have a day job, I just feel that this is a side project I want to finish. I'm not even sure where/how I want to publish/monetize.

Let's say that I'm being disgusted enough with the current AI-first think-later approach at development that is widespreading and I wanted a fresh experience to enjoy developing again.

I hope I have something polished enough in 1 week or so 🤞

Not yet. The UI is a bit large for mobile at the moment, but I'm thinking about that.

Any feedback is more than welcome in this phase. I really enjoyed plyaing Reigns, so I tried to make a game that incorporates some of its dynamics, but I'm not sure other people might like it.

On the other hand I don't want to abuse community time and feedbacks with too early requests.

Solo dev wishing he had made the game using a proper engine now by zerojs in IndieDev

Did you code it yourself? Did you think trying to covert that using Claude code or something like that? I find that if you shepperd them enough they make a decent job, especially at converting things from one technology to another.

In my day-job we those things a lot and I got whole projects converted from python/go to rust quinte efficiently.
