Without it, rendering the 800.000 tiles that compromise the game map became problematic, so the team had to spend a week on optimizing that. Identify key features you need your engine to support, make some prototypes and see if Godot suits you and your game. Still, the switch didn’t occur without its fair share of issues.

In the original version, one player discovered that the optimum strategy was to cover every fourth tile on the board with a city, a mind-numbingly boring strategy that was always the best choice. Namely, building an urban improvement and producing a specialist on any tile extend the city borders in all six directions.

And while overall I've been overjoyed with the response, I've seen a few comments from people who dislike the inclusion of the disaster tiles in the game, and I realized that I haven't ever sat down to write out my thoughts for why I included the mechanic despite knowing that those tiles would be controversial.

Drapple is an abstract, tile-laying gardening game. I sometimes use blank cards or write on prototypes if I need to iterate quickly, but that typically only happens at conventions.

Not long after that I started working on a game (then called City Draft) that would be strongly inspired by a few key influences: 7 Wonders for the mechanics and structure, Carcassonne for the idea of placing tiles in a grid, and SimCity for the theme. Science is purely all or nothing. Few viable paths to victory.

I probably left them in by mistake from one of my previous prototype passes. If you "confirm" on a tile where there is nothing to attack, then the selection indicator will just move back to the hero for you to try again. Go ahead and open the script and delete them.

That means card games, dice games, miniature games, and tile-based games also fall under the purview of what is frequently called “board games.” A designer usually starts with the simplest possible prototype – often either pen and paper or on an online testing tool such as Tabletop Simulator. This is really important to know.

At different parts of the bridge there were investment tiles, so on a basic level the premise was kind of, “do I move to a relatively unsafe investment tile, or do I BUMP?” You win by bumping the opponent into damage areas, dealing damage to them until their health reached zero, before they could do it to you.

At that point, I’m getting close to a prototype. As monks we can only win once we are in perfect harmony, which requires strategic placement of garden tiles to balance our own inner state. I can take a lot of influence from the media that I’m consuming and transfer that into a theme.

I first prototyped it back in 2019, but I didn't really know how to finish it. Originally this was prototyped as "Saugzwang" and I made it for the 7 Day Broughlike Jam back in 2019. This marks its true public release, with finished graphics, gameplay, tuning, more sex, and finally an ending. L of semen for each one.
