Splatt, my game list is 80% your recommendations. I say that to say this. I never comment, and i ALWAYS forget to like. I know likes help. I humbly ask you remind me to do so in your vids. Id like you to keep making these. I dont have the time to look through everything, you make it easy. I want to see you succeed. I like when i remember. But if i had to guess, ive watched every day for the past 1.5 maybe 2 years, since i found you, and have maybe liked 5 vids. I just dont remember. Sorry.

This game shows a lot of promise. I love Banished, and have heavily modded it. This game already looks like a slightly modded Banished....which is a good thing IMHO. Loving the Tech Tree to unlock things in the order that suits your situation, and style. Definitely one to watch!

[@DamsdelDrennon]

It's cute and chill, management is important but you can still mostly enjoy the spectacle of the village running itself. I like the variety of buildings and research which makes for a good challenge while improving the industry and developing the village.

Found your channel this morning and let me say I am so happy that you link to each and every game you try. So many video creators in this space will play a game and not give one attempt to direct their audience towards the game they are playing if they're interested. That touch alone got me to sub.

[@Makalai-Azaylin]

Actually back in ancient Rome, the Romans used a consolidated scheme for city planning, developed for civil convenience. The basic plan consisted of a central forum with city services, surrounded by a compact, rectilinear grid of streets. Each square marked by four roads was called an insula, the Roman equivalent of a modern city block. So America effectively simply copied the Roman method, who themselves stole from and copied from the Greeks!

[@excursor4296]

I think you would like this. Not because you would want to build it but because it is surprisingly informative. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJyWq2Nsm8SUZtU

[@Reoh0z]

And Romans were big on fast-food as many of their apartments were so small they had no cooking services.

[@JH-zs3bs]

@@Reoh0z They had outside open kitchens i think. So in a way you are correct. Just much more healthy than Fast food and no delievery^^

[@autumn4484]

He's also not wrong about township and range. Americans definitely stole from the British who stole from the Romans who stole from the Greeks who stole from? However at each stage the system was improved.

[@jaobidan2358]

Correct except for the end as the Romans did not copy nor steal anything from the Greeks because the Greeks were living among the Italians on the Italian peninsula long before Rome was even founded. During the dark age of Greece, famine and over population forced many Greeks to migrate to different locales with 2 of them being Italy and Sicily where the city states of Croton and Syracuse were founded. More were also founded but those 2 were the largest of them all. From there, Greek culture, architecture, technology, etc. was spread among the native Italians giving birth to a city-state of Greco Italian culture known as the Etruscans and it was this city-state that would heavily influence what Rome would become while also giving it an affinity for all things Greek.

[@littlekong7685]

There are a few things I think Banished missed that new colony survival games should implement. Coins: This game has it, nice to have as an alternative to just resources. Tech Tree: Love the slow progression through normal production, rather than a research building, nice to see. Resource deterioration: I assume this game has some, so you need to upgrade to preserve to keep large populations fed, better than having chicken and corn x100000kilos forever. Guards and crime: I hope this game gets this, unhappy or starving can turn to crime, or just low chance if too many idle. Guards increase happiness, and prevent theft. Gives more life to the village. Decoration stacking: Have a need for some kind of beautification of areas, avoid the 20 house block crammed into the village for the sake of efficiency. Have a deterioration of happiness/production the denser and less "beautiful" your village is to encourage diversity and variety. Love the preset farm tile sizes, makes calculating areas and outputs easy.

[@famijher]

Sorry, Splatty. I'm from Massachusetts. Boston was totally made in the old European Style. Yes, the streets were built on top of the old Cow Paths. Which is why there is still a law on the books that you can take your cow and let it graze on the Boston Common for One Hour a Day!

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

do someone actually do that? bring a cow to graze on the Boston Common? would love to see that and peoples reaction to it.

[@DoomedPaladin]

I prefer hand-drawn over low-poly, but that's expensive af, so I'm fine with this. I wonder (but doubt) if the buildings appearances change depending on where in the world the Seed is placed. So round, stick houses in Africa, yurts in Mongolia, adobe in North America, gravestones for Antarctica, etc. Pretty sure I saw a campfire in one of the build menus. I wonder if that works to warm up settlers, instead of them going home to remove the cold debuff? A warming hut would make a logical upgrade from that later on.

Early Access though, might just not have been a focus as of yet. Get basic gameplay to work, then add fancy features.

[@maxttk97]

Damn that call was good.

[@ReHerakhte]

Ya know, if it works like Banished does, then that blue radius that shows up every time you go to place a building probably indicates its operating range. So in the example from this vid, the woodcutter is not getting a lot of wood, it's probably because it's too close to the town and not close enough to forest areas

[@dinuksilva4113]

[@Rysdad1]

And fun fact about cats, they actually do purr to heal you. They biologically have higher than usual amounts of lactic acid in their bodies, they adapted to use purring as a method to loosen their muscles to heal themselves and other cats.... and inevitably humans thru purring. So when a cat purrs near you it's literally trying to make you, and itself obviously, feel better. Ironically their adaptation to purr also took away their ability to roar and scare away predators due to changing their hyroid bone..... my guess is wolves didn't give a shit they could roar but purring after building up all that acid from running away sure helped them feel better....

This looks like interesting game, I love this type of city builder games. Disasters... I want to see how "well" these are balanced. Games like these usually disasters are horribly balanced into the gameplay itself. The Universim is a good example; you usually get a massive firestorm or Hurricane go through your town before you even have access to Fire station to turn off fires without rain spell usage or before bunkers for hurricane safety. P.S Problem with indie games and what not these days is that every god damn one of these games are asset pack flipflops put together thinking its their own made game. Which it isnt if its made by using ready assets or bought assets. Assets are nothing but assets waiting to be turned into your own products.
