World Turtles

I really like this game. I love the music. The atmosphere is great, and I really like how it plays. I don't play a lot of world builders so I can't compare it to other ones. I do play a lot of games in general though and this is a good one in its own right. I highly recommend starting the game through the tutorials as there isn't a lot of hand-holding and this will get you moving in the right direction. I did hit a bug when I first started playing and posted about it on the forums. The developer got back to me in less than an hour and posted an update shortly after that. In the end if you're like me and just wanted your own little Discworld then you're in the right place.

Great concept and what I saw looks like it has potential, but UI is rather painful. If it was at least consistent it would be easier to get, but even in the tutorials you see inconsistencies for how to do stuff (e.g. wood stocking requires clicking the campfire, but stone is done by selecting the rocks). Basically please make the actions consistent, and I get there can be complexity, but that shouldn't be so early, especially for those accustomed to the genre. Would love to try again/re-review if things are improved in the future.

Análise inicial, NÃO é uma analise definitiva, ainda NÃO zerei o jogo! Um clássico jogo de gerenciamento de colônias, onde o seu mundo atual são as costas de uma tartaruga, você precisa criar e gerenciar tudo para a sua sobrevivência e a sobrevivência da tartaruga, afinal a vida de todos depende disso, o jogo é bem complexo e cheio de recursos e opções para você conseguir administrar cada detalhe, oque cada pessoa esta fazendo, qual o seu recurso de maior interesse/farm, além de opções de exploração e outras coisas. Por ter muita informação na tela, de começo é bem assustador e nada faz sentido, recomendo que joguem o tutorial antes de qualquer coisa, como o meu inglês é péssimo e no próprio jogo diz que vai ter tradução ptbr em breve, vou aguardar para fazer a analise definitiva, mas oque posso dizer por agora é que o tutorial te ensina cada tipo de mecânica básica, farmar recursos para sobrevivência, farmar alimentos, explorar e expandir, além de um tutorial onde você pode botar em pratica tudo oque você aprendeu, e quando se sentir confiante, pode criar o seu próprio mundo, e começar a sua aventura, tentando tomar as melhores decisões para manter todos bem, são e salvos!

Основная проблема таких стратегий,ч то они имеют ну слишком высокий порог входа - вместо нормального обучения википедия, а рынок и так переполнен, многих отпугнёт, видишь, что для своих и с душой, а разбираться лень. https://youtu.be/qaqfVoSsvo0

What the ♥♥♥♥ is this? Is this even a game? It feels so unfinished and in early access. The UI is a bloody mess; the tutorial is incomplete and annoying as hell. When you want to read the text, a guy reads it in another language - wtf?. In the text, some words are replaced by indistinguishable symbols that are so small you can only think of the too small meme. @gideon.griebenow I respect the fact that you are a solo developer but I can't imagine no one else pointed these shortcomings out yet and you did nothing?

Revised review: Okay, I gave it another chance and just jumped right in instead of trying the tutorials. There's a lot of things going on with this game that I initially thought and there's a lot of things you can build to shape out how the game plays. I'll be playing this more. Recommend if you want a builder game that does something quite different than the usual resource gathering - you can even play trees to regrow your forests so you don't run out of resources. Comets land with resources and fault lines form new rivers. Trading can happen between other world turtles. All kinds of neat stuff happening as you play. Will update as I play it more. Original review: I'm on the fence here because the concept seems cool, but there's so many bugs just in 30min of trying the tutorials and the exe completely froze up the moment I had some event happen in the second tutorial where I assume a golem was going to pop up - it just completely froze. I got stuck unable to make Provisions and the game didn't really have any way of explaining how I do that, and the only option I could find said it was Ignored because the farm was doing other things. There's suggestions all over the place to make/expand stuff in the tutorial, but you can only build things if explicitly required to from the tutorial, and just left waiting not knowing what I'm supposed to be doing. For some basic actions this seems aggressively limited and unintuitive. I may try the full game without bothering with the tutorials but I feel like it's going to be a really rough experience given what brief amount I've dealt with and had so many problems.

Siedler mal anders. Die Grundidee ist nicht schlecht, jedoch mangelt es an der Umsetzung. Man verliert im Spiel schnell den überblick. Die Dorfbewohner lassen sich nicht manuell steuern. Es wird nicht erklärt wie man Gebäude erforscht. Scheinbar erfolgt das von alleine nachdem man das Forschungszentrum gebaut hat. Es gibt auch kein Tutorial wo einem die Spielmechaniken erklärt werden. Ich möchte das Spiel nicht schlecht machen, aber für mich hat es den reiz nach 92 Minuten Spielzeit verloren. Ich werde eine Rückerstattung beantragen.

Das könnte mal ein sehr gutes Spiel werden. Es hat sehr originelle Ideen und eine m.E. zeitlose Grafik mit Wuselfaktor, die es dem Entwickler ermöglicht, weiter daran zu arbeiten, ohne dass das Spiel veraltet wirken würde. Ich bin - ohne Ironie - überzeugt, dann wird es ein Meilenstein der Siedlungssimulation, aufrund der wirklich tollen Spielmechaniken und -ideen. Es macht jetzt schon viel Spaß, auch wenn es kleinere Bugs hat. Zur Zeit dominieren noch zwei Probleme: 1 Obwohl es extrem viele erklärende Texte und Tutorial-Steps hat und auch während des freien Spiels immer mit guten Tipps daherkommt, ist die Menüsteuerung ein bisschen konfus. Aber man gewöhnt sich daran und kommt dann gut zurecht. Man braucht aber viel Geduld. 2 Es ist spielentscheidend, die Schildkröte, auf der man lebt, am Leben zu halten. Dazu füttert man sie und steuert sie durch das All, indem man sie zu Planeten lenkt. Beides funktioniert m.E. nur stark eingeschränkt (Auslösen der Fütterung, Reaktionszeit und Lenkbarkeit der Schildkröte etc.). Alle meine Welten sind kaputt gegangen, weil die Schildkröte verhungert ist und das ziemlich schnell. Das ist ein Spaß-Killer, fast schon ein Weiter-Empfehlungskiller. Ich empfehle dringend dem Entwickler hier eine optional zuschaltbare Auto-Pilot Steuerung einzubauen und nur das Bereitsstellen des Futters als Pflicht zu machen. Ich drücke dem Entwickler die Daumen, dass er das Spiel weiter verbessert und dann seinen verdienten Lohn bekommt. Man sieht, dass extrem viel Arbeit in dem Spiel steckt und das daraus was ganz Großes werden könnte - eigentlich schon ist. Ich werde es sicher weiter versuchen.

After writing my initial review, the developers released an update that fixed many of the issues I had with the game. Meeps no longer stay still, and the camera now works properly. I will be spending more time with the game and its mechanics. It reminds me a lot of Oxygen Not Included (ONI), as there are many interesting mechanics to work with, and the dupes (meeps in this game) aren't the smartest tools in the shed, but that adds to the game's charm. Pd: UI can still take some work, but otherwise looking great with loads of potential! Can't wait to see what more updates bring to the game. TLDR; Based dev actually fixing bugs in the game! Pd2: I'm leaving my old review below for context. So I tried playign the game for a bit, and wanted to give some feedback, thinking it was just some early access game. but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this was released in this state??? Like it needs some work, tutorial is really bad, should at least start with how to control the camera, it just moves all around. Also in my less than 30 minutes playthrough multiple times the villagers (?) just stood still doing nothing, even my own character wouldnt move. I believe the game has a lot of potential, but needs some heavy work and a good idea is not enough to carry a game like this.

I like this game and really want to love it, but every single time I've tried to play it crashes with no notice, making it unplayable.
