Godot tip:
If your game is single player be sure to set up the gamepad inputs to "all device" and not the "device 0" default value.
Unless you want players to ask you why their gamepad does not work (because they have multiple input devices connected).🤭

I started playtesting the complete game myself. So far I can't get to the end without a crash, still some work to do before the next community playtest. 🤭
I'll playtest it once or twice everyday from now on to make it as stable as possible.

Darkness won't destroy your encampment before it has invaded at least 2 adjacent cells. Players will be excited and feel lucky each time it's close. 😤
But don't tell them, otherwise the illusion is ruined. 🤫

At first, prayers were overpowered. I increased the cost but players stopped using it afterwards.
So instead, I added a cooldown so you can only pray from time to time! We'll see if that works.

Do you think starting over from nothing is the best part in strategy/building games?
In Lueur, it will take you only about 40 minutes to go from a few tents to a big city and complete one of the 10 scenarios.

Lueur mixes strategy with dexterity mini-games. I received a message from a player who could not play them because of a disability. This kept him from enjoying the game. 🙁
So here you go, a skip mini-game button!

I made an "Accessibility Trailer" for my game Dawnfolk.
As a solo indie dev, it's hard finding time to add accessibility features to my game. But it's important, so I'll do my best to make it as accessible as I can!
