Great game! Finnished the game in normal on the first run! Never felt fustrated and only on the final parts of the game that I felt that I did everything too well, because I had a ton of money.
I've tried it thrice on easy and have never gotten very far at all. I've been very careful and meticulous and am extremely good at management/simulation type games.
You reach a point where the deck offers nothing but regular worker cards. Stops giving you water carriers/wells. Only offers herman's ditch without ever giving you maps which are apparently a prereq, etc. So it bleeds you down to -100 rep and ends the game.
I tried two more times after the first failure and had the same behavior each time. I had built up the necessary structures for storing my four workers, four permits, and four building materials. And each time it would lock me this way. I refreshed and tried it on NG as well as here.
I am 100% certain that this is the behavior that everyone experiences playing since I am playing in a very NORMAL and careful way. I suspect most of you are alternate accounts of scriptwelder, pretending to heap praise on the game, yet betraying yourself because an actual large playerbase would be yelling about the unbeatability and general unplayabiliity of the game.
water carriers and stables, after placing it, it will be on the board unless you sell it or use it to remove fire and you can even move it around just by clicking and dragging it, as for wells, sumps, and pipes, after you place it, it will be locked in place unless you sell it. If some red construction card never came out, check the construct tray.
One more thing, don't you dare skip tutorials and read them carefully, the tutorials always have the most important stuff included. I already passed it on hard multiple times. I'm a little angry because of this
As for me, I struggle a little on normal mode, and on the final part, I feel like I don't have enough resources lol, my turn to finish the game was 132 though (quite quick), what about you?
Great game! I just beat it, it was very addictive and clever and creative. One bug that I potentially encountered was that if I wanted to use A Common Donation to get money and the Bathhouse request is active, it forces me to do the request when I drag the donation card. Is this intentional? Great job Scriptwelder.
Well I went to check out the game, and then played for at least two hours. The city is limited, but all the upgrades and such make a compelling reason to keep advancing. Please add some autosaves after major events.
The look and feel of this game makes me want more, even before reaching the end of what is available.
I have to say that getting gold might be a bit too easy. Maybe reduce the money reward, supplying water became an issue a few times, but I never had a problem paying for anything.
-Started a new game and realized I was playing on easy the first time. It's a little more balanced on normal. :)
Somehow I got stuck. I can't build any new projects. I think I need to build Water-Work IV next, but I never got Water Tower, and I don't see any way to get it.
I haven't been able to run this game. When I try to launch it through the itch desktop app, it just displays a black screen, and when I try to run index.html in a web browser, it shows a screen with two green squares.
You're probably trying to launch it locally from your drive? That will not work unless you run a local server. It's much easier to just run it directly from the game's page, using a compatible browser (basically any browser that can run HTML5 content should be fine).
Have always enjoyed your games (despite my being scared at horror), but this is such a nice change of pace with interesting factoids and tidbits. Even though the pacing's different, it certainly managed to drag in hours of my time.
cool game. I like how I don't have to think much to complete the game. It takes me 123 days on Normal difficulty. For the achievement I don't feel so Well, if I build the wells and later destroy it, will I still get the achievement ?
Niestety gra się zawiesza. W momencie zakończenia tury następuje naliczenie kasy, dochodzą nowi mieszkańcy, karta tali wyskakuje do góry i następuje zamrożenie gry.
Co ciekawe wczoraj cały dzień było ok (wczoraj zacząłem w to grać), dziś od rana przestało działać, trzeba odświeżać przeglądarkę i po wznowieniu na szczęście wszystko jest naliczone, karty rozdane i jest ok ... do następnego przeliczenia tury.
Robiliście od wczoraj jakąś poprawkę, która uszkodziła grę?
Edit: Po całkowitym wyłączeniu przeglądarki Firefox i ponownym uruchomieniu est wszystko ok.
Świetna!!! Gdyby nie była o konkretnym mieście, pewnie by mnie tak nie wciągnęła. Wypuśćcie ją na komórki, znajomi się obrazili, bo zamiast rozmawiać przy piwie, pacałem we właśnie odkryte grudziądzkie wodociągi :-D
PS Anglojęzycznych to jednak moglibyście potraktować łagodniej i napisać, jak się ten Grudziądz po niemiecku nazywał... ;-)
8/10, ale trzy uwagi UI/UX: 1) (o czym pisał Shroudeye) - boli brak sortowania w magazynach, 2) boli brak możliwości przyspieszenia/pominięcia animacji (sporą część czasu po prostu się siedzi i patrzy na bingające pierdółki, zamiast grać), 3) brak możliwości automatycznego włożenia karty do slotu z ręki/magazynu po kliknięciu na slot, do którego pasuje tylko jedna rzecz (w queście/budowie) tudzież automatycznego rzucenia "czaru" typu donation/gift - zamiast jednego szybkiego kliknięcia, wychodzi co najmniej jedno wleczenie myszą, a jak w magazynie, to jeszcze jedno ekstra kliknięcie i użeranie się z okna do okna.
Oprócz tego, dwa drobne bugi: 1) jeżeli jest otwarta mapa rur, ale zrobi się upgrade systemu, to mapa dalej wyświetla stare zasięgi +X wody (odświeżyć trzeba zamykając/otwierając ponownie mapę rur), 2) zdażyło mi się kilka razy, że gra "zapomniała", że ja już puściłem kartę, i miałem wszystkie karty "wyszarzone", nawet po restarcie tury itp. Działały menu, ale nie działało główne okno gry - czasami pomogło wzięcie karty z magazynu, czasami próby wleczenia na siłę, na 100% pomagał twardy reset gry tylko.
Dziwne jest też trochę, że przy końcu decku gra dobiera tylko tyle kart, ile jest w decku, zamiast przetasować discard i dobrać z nowej talii do pełnej ręki (tak jest praktycznie we wszystkich karciankach, i papierowych, i komputerowych, w które grałem) - ale zakładam, że to celowa decyzja.
Po poprawieniu tego, spokojne 10/10 i gra na dobre 10h albo i więcej.
It was a brilliant game, simple but very interesting. It also took me a good insight about the town's history and most importantly it's development as the demand for water supply grows as well how the people back then develop technology to solve it's problem.
Brilliant! This reminds me of your archaeology game, and I'm happy you've found this side-niche in making mechanically sophisticated games around educational topics. Normally those sorts of games are badly designed and just bombard you with information between tedious tasks, but your game works first and foremost as a game, which ends up being a far more effective vessel for the educational content, letting the player discover it primarily through doing.
Powiem tak - genialna gra. Jest świetnie dopracowana, poleciłem już trzem znajomym. Muzyka mega klimatyczna, smaczki w postaci rozwoju miasta. I tak jak napisał Xielu w komentarzu, to powinno już zarabiać na Steam. Osobiście bym kupił !
That game is polished to perfection. It has very deep lore, graphics are constantly updating when you progress treating you with sweet-sweet eye-candy rewards. Artstyle is pleasant, music is awesome, even SFX. This should be on Steam earning money! <3

A very educational and enjoyable experience

i beat the game on easy on my first try and i am typically horrible at managing games
no trying to brag just saying it is possible
put your faith in the pipe system
unless he finishes constructing Herman's ditch, I don't think he has access to pipes and sumps yet.

Incredible! When will it be released?
AWESOME! Love it so much. Thank you!!
Absolutely beautiful game.
Somehow I got stuck. I can't build any new projects. I think I need to build Water-Work IV next, but I never got Water Tower, and I don't see any way to get it.
I see you had a construction started - maybe that was it?
ah, yeah that was it, I must have been really tired to have missed that :)
Love this game ♥
I spent 1.5 hours to complete Easy Level. Thanks for making such a great game, I had a lovely time playing it!
I haven't been able to run this game. When I try to launch it through the itch desktop app, it just displays a black screen, and when I try to run index.html in a web browser, it shows a screen with two green squares.

Oh, thanks. I was viewing the page through the itch desktop app. Apparently it just doesn't work there. Thank you.
great game and very informative
I would love to see full game and play it
I want more and more <3
This game is amazing! Played it for a couple of hours and was devistated when it ended. Please expand on it, I would pay money to for it.
Great game
Świetna gra, przeszedłem całą i super się bawiłem.
A very nice, engaging game. I highly recommend if you have ~2 hours to spend on something entertaining and educating at the same time.
Have always enjoyed your games (despite my being scared at horror), but this is such a nice change of pace with interesting factoids and tidbits. Even though the pacing's different, it certainly managed to drag in hours of my time.
Great game as always, scriptwelder. :D
Great game! It allowed me to avoid for a couple of hours my in-laws family while I was pretending to work in my room. 10/10 :D
Haha same lol
Fajna gra strategiczna, polecam każdemu, kto lubi strategie lub po prostu nie ma w co grać :D
I found a bug. Though all requirements are met, and the cards are litteraly side by side game won't let me build Water-work.
Those are just construction "schematics" for Water-wheel and Bucket-wheel, you need to build them first.
Oh, right. Would be nice if schemes had some additional icon on their cards.
Thanks for the feedback!
cool game. I like how I don't have to think much to complete the game. It takes me 123 days on Normal difficulty. For the achievement I don't feel so Well, if I build the wells and later destroy it, will I still get the achievement ?
No.
At least, you shouldn't, if you do it's a bugYou can only use wells for an event that has a chance to pop up.
ok thanks a lot. I will try again on the Hard mode

Cieszę się, że się naprawiło :) My nic nie zmienialiśmy - przynajmniej jeszcze nie :D
Wnoszę o zmianę czcionki :D człowiek się bardziej domyśla co jest napisane, a dłuższe rozczytywanie jest bardzo męczące.

Dzięki za sugestie :) sortowanie w magazynach jest teraz testowane i powinno wejść w najbliższej aktualizacji.
Z tymi drobnymi glitchami też walczę, mam nadzieję że uda je się wyeliminować.
An excellent game. Any chance of development into a board game? - it looks like it has high potential!
So addictive! I love this game :)
Przecudowna i klimatyczn
mega fajna :D
Okay manage to play this game at last.

Dobra robota

Interesting game, but I couldn't play/test this on google chrome?
Thanks! Have you tried updating your Chrome?
I did. But it doesn't work either... Kinda strange.
