Discord: / discord
1 month ago i released a mobile game ive been working on for 2 years. Pixel Tribe is a game inspired by Forager and Clash of Clans where you build and upgrade your own clan of vikings.
PixelTribe is a game where you can build, upgrade and manage your own clan of vikings. Here you can craft and equip weapons and armor for your vikings, and send them on different raids against other bad-guys.

For anyone wondering, this is from the discord: He's still working on the big multiplayer update, it's 70% done as of 2 months ago. The reason, that updates are slow are because he started working on a giant update insead of smaller ones and he "planned for the worst" by signing up to programmer job, which he can't quit. So he's working full-time and making the update.

The art style looks heavily inspired by Forager

[@p1n3]

It almost feels a little too inspired to be honest. It’s pushing the point of blatantly stealing.

[@sirstroam]

OMG. It is called a clone and is a practice that is older than you guys.

[@ElonCrusty]

Yeah Its definitely a Forager clone... a little too much tbh

[@ninjasploit]

​@@p1n3 But then again, the style is simple for a solo-dev and also loved by many; mechanics also seem like those that just fit the style of game, so of course there will be big overlap with other games that aim for the same type of game you know, just how it is.

[@almightyme2188]

I love the video edit, love the game and the fact that the dev has youtube channel dedicated to the progress of the game (as friendly as you do) is lovely. keeep up the work and dont ever feel overwhelmed. if you can, hire a team of fans or volunteers, if you dont w/e just always remembe you are here for us and not us for you (other words we should appreciate you and not the way around same with demands)

[@blankderechte5382]

I dont get the Video he said he got from one Month 25.000 Euro than Apple and Google takes 15% + Takes lets say 10-15K is rest something like this. That means he made 10-15k Per Month with this game. He lost Money from his Job 25k 1 Year and 20k Advetising so lets say he is -30k. But he shows us only the earning from one Month of the Game and if the Game makes every Month 25k or mb more or 2-3k less he still wins a lot so i dont get the negativ Video about his earnings

[@diezmann10]

I am at lvl 53 in pixel tribe, I love it so much, thank you for creating a fun game that doesn’t rely on micro transactions and involves both combat and city building. I especially enjoy how you can setup the work and come back to it later or actively play it for hours at a time, a balanced approach that appeals to active and idle gamers. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I do have some small suggestions that may improve the experience. 1. A building mode where you can stash and move buildings around to make city building easier as opposed to it temporarily become a puzzle game just to move buildings, although that is kinda fun too, just tedious. This is especially problematic with roads. 2. Adding in a building like a healers hut where Vikings can be healed to full HP over time with a resource cost of some kind. 3. Units not permanent losing HP when armour is removed, especially if they are just being taken off to be improved in the church. 4. The lineup of Vikings in the tribe/assign worker menu not changing around after moving the houses around. 5. A “collect all” option for farms, mills, smelters, beehives and fermenting barrels. 6. The ability to stack tasks, example would be assign a worker to collect wood and go to rune carving after. (Being a mobile game I understand why this would not be added in though) Please continue developing this game because I love it so much, everything is getting upgraded to the point where I can see the ends of the upgrade/tech options for some areas and I really want it to expand as I am having so much fun. Thank you again for the amazing game you have made, I can see this game overtaking other titles like clash of clans in the future as it continues to grow and improve, you have done amazing work and please know that nothing I have written above is meant with negativity, just some ideas from a fan who is enjoying a game worth coming back to, whether it's for a few minutes during my break at work or a few hours at home. Finally note number seven. 7. Keep up the amazing work, there are people in the world who struggle and a simple smile from a fun game can make a real difference to them, and yes I have purchased a micro transaction or two, the next one I buy won’t be for the gems, it will just be to support your marvellous work. Thank You!

Sorry this is a weird question but you seem like you know what you’re doing. I started playing the game a while ago and I can’t figure out how to replant tress on the island and thus cannot complete the quest “Planting Trees!” I was wondering if you could explain how to plant trees in the game.

I have a suggestion for the game: custom banners, there could be a white banner in the decoration section in the shop. Whenever you place it down there is an icon that says "paint" and whenever you click on it takes you to a sorta pixel art thing where you can make your own banner and whenever your done you can place it in your village

[@r3_emnl]

Hey! What's up Simon?, I'm from the Brazilian community of your game, honestly I've been enjoying it a lot, and here, in this comment, I came to make a suggestion that can greatly improve the development of the game!. Why not add the vikings HP recovery system by way of sleeping?, That would help a lot, as it is very annoying to wait for food that will take 1, 2 hours or 30 minutes to Preparing a food that recovers 25 HP would really help, I hope you see this Simon, and the game looks amazing!

I have a suggestion. It would be nice for the Vikings to recover hp easier. As of now it is quite difficult if you have to heal after a raid. I hope you read this comment and maybe even do it too.

[@Yaine64]

I came up with 3 quality of life improvements that I think would be nice to have in the game 1. Make a build mode kind of like clash of clans where u can easily and quickly move around buildings and make base designs, this would really help for people later in the game with more buildings 2. Please make it so even if a building is being made or is making something e.g food or weapons we can still move it around 3. When you put away a decoration all it does it take it away and you can place it back down by going into the decorations tab, instead I think it should go into a decorations menu/storage, there could be a button on the buildings menu to look at your storage of decorations (the main reason that I thought of idea 3 is because if you buy a Christmas decoration then they leave the shop because it’s no longer December, then what will happen if u stash the decoration away? It could just re- add the object into the shop to be placed again but it would be sorta weird. I hope u like my ideas, they’re small but helpful features that would make the game just a little bit better :)

[@leewatson1770]

Can you add replanting, so you can buy bits of forest and put it back after you cut it down, it could still be expensive to stop players auto farming wood, but it would help make bases look cooler if there wasn’t dead space. Or even make it so you won’t get wood from replanting plots of forest, love the game
