hey please approve our bundle here: 3D DEVELOPER SUPPORT BUNDLE I by -X-ScornGames and 15 others - itch.io
Very well done. Its very polished and fun to play. Please fix the not perfectly looping background music!
Hah thanks! Yea, will do :)
That's a cool one!
Looking forward to buy it, once it's finished.
The only thing makes me wait, is the lack of remove selected buildings instead of redo everything to that point. It's kinda fights the concept to mess around and try different methods.
Other than that, the gameplay is fun, visuals and sounds are plesent!
thanks for playing, yes a remove tool has been on my radar for a while.. might have to add that soon ☺️
I would like to be able to play this game.
However, can't seem to build anything. I pressed the left mouse button on each tile.
I like the art style of the game.
Select a tile from the right side then place it in the world
Hope this solves your issues, if not let me know and I will try to help you more
When I click on a tile directly nothing happens. However, if I left-click and then drag into the tile, information about the tile appears. I still can't move it to the hex grid. This is the web version by the way.
Can you see these buttons?
If you left click one of them to select it then, left click to place it - don't drag
I tried that. The buttons don’t click.
hmm very odd, which browser?
