Goblins of Elderstone! Tribal fantasy city builder.
« on: October 12, 2016, 03:55:50 pm »

Saw a preview ad-vid on the Goblins! webcomic and pretty much went into a little ball of effeminate keening joy.

So if you like city builders, rpg elements and cute bitey balls of chaotic joy:

  • Here for their twitter
  • And here if you feel like they could use some money.

Spoiler:  A few preview images (click to show/hide)

This is extremely charming.

i especially like the "chaotic goblins" feature they describe there. i know it's not what they are after, but it could have been great if this genre's new "evolution" would be toward more of a hands-off approach. less gamey, more toy like simulation where you can see a village grow chaotically on its own around constraints such as self security, resource management and personal relationships and be varied enough that each new gameplay will result in a relatively new kind of village. it obviously should have some form of abstract interaction by the player, but a near completely procedurally generated village, in real time, would be a blast to play/see/explore.

But yeah, i am just mumbling here. this game looks adorable, smart and fun to play.

Huh. Well, looks interesting enough to follow, at least.

I don't get it, nobody's crying or being tortured and they don't look like mangled playdoh monsters.
