thanks a lot for checking out the demo and sharing your feedback! i’m noting it all down. btw i’m planning a demo update in the next couple of days that will already address a couple of these points, namely give players more ways to get out when cornered somewhere by other tribes, plus some UX improvements for moving/staying. thanks again


nice, how was your experience? all feedback is much appreciated


hey thanks :) excited to hear what you think


i’m pretty new around here, so thanks for the tip, just cross-posted it now. cheers!


ah i fear there might be some performance issues, but definitely lmk if it runs and if so at what FPS :)


ah i loved Civ 2 :) could never get my hands on the original Civ 1 though. and thanks!


thanks :) if you do, lmk what you think, i’m actively updating the demo so all feedback is much appreciated


true, one of impacts on the resource economy, for example, is that here you don’t have stockpile limits, but you have carrying capacities, so if you have more than you can carry it gets left behind when you move


thanks, excited to hear what you think


@athatet gave a great summary, and the Civ games are the biggest mainstream example of 4X games. there are many sub-genres and lots of games that use it as a foundation but extend it in various ways, and Folk Emerging does that too by centering around nomadic gameplay and complex ecosystems


glad to hear, let me know what you think! either here or in the feedback survey (link in the main menu)


glad you like it. i must credit At The Gates, which pioneered it afaik, and games like Old World that have improved on it over time


nice! yeah this is very much inspired by the early part of Civ, and the many hours I spent playing Civ 2 and 3 as a kid :)


hey I'm a solo gamedev and I recently launched the [demo ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4352180/Folk_Emerging_Demo/) for Folk Emerging. if you're into turn-based strategy games like Civilization and enjoy in-depth characters, cultures, and ecosystems, then this might be for you! curious to hear what folks around here think
