NEW SUPER Unique City Builder!! - Goblin Camp - Management Colony Sim 

Havent started the video yet but is have any relation to the goblin camp that was out years ago in the same vein as DF?

@@gord163 Yeah, I'm (Ilkka from Korppi Games) the same person who made the original and I'm making this new one now. This time though we've got a really talented artist on board as well so we can make the game look great. I've also worked professionally in the games industry for the past 12 years and learned a lot so I think this one will turn out even better 🙂

@@gord163 Yeah, we're the same people making it! I (Ilkka Halila) put out the first ASCII version of Goblin Camp back in 2010. This time around we have a really talented artist on board so we can make it look great, and I've spent the last 14 years working on games professionally and learned a lot, so I'm confident this one will turn out even better 🙂

@@gord163 (RU-vid seems to be swallowing my comments, third try is the charm?) Yes, this is a continuation of that game. Same people making it, with a very talented artist on board to make the game look great. And after spending 14 years doing game dev as a job I've learnt a lot, so I'm confident this one will be even better 🙂

@KorppiGames sweet I enjoyed that game along and happy to see it still being worked on

That was my first thought too. The old Goblin Camp was like a simpler Dwarf Fortress.

Thanks for the insight into how similar systems work, this is really interesting stuff! Adding a batch/minimum order number to our system would be fairly straight forward to do, I think the challenge would just be to figure out how to show it to players without overwhelming them with numbers. Possibly as an advanced option that isn't there by default, I figure this would likely be something a player would want to get into only once their settlement is large enough. We already have the beginnings of a "happiness" mechanic in the demo in the form of individual goblin morale, we're going to be expanding that as we go along and idle/free time will be part of it, so this extra tuning to the stock manager could have a place in Goblin Camp.

​@@KorppiGames Fantastic to see you are reading the comments, nothing makes a great game like listening to gamer feedback. The system I described is a bit complicated compared with the standard way I agree but what is great about it is if you default that reorder amount to 1 then it's just the normal top up method that most games seem to have so you can do that. Another way would be to have a min and max value so when they go to do a job of making planks they keep going until they reach the max value and then stop until they reach the min value. Another reason for this sort of solution imo is that if you've got guys who have dynamic jobs as your guys do i.e. they do multiple jobs then they might never get to their next job because they have very short intervals between making 1 bread. I would say this could be something you keep hidden behind some sort of research so that it's not there at the beginning of the game and players don't get overwhelmed by it and once their village is big enough. I could have sworn that my company called it "rock and roll levels" but after a quick google it seems they are called reorder point and reorder quantity in retail. I've played quite a lot of games that are very similar to this but I defintely like the aesthetic of this one and most of the others didn't have a research tree either. Examples of games with a similar play style would be gnomoria, towns and life is feudal forest village. The 2 that most closely resemble yours unfortunately got abandoned and I really hope that isn't setting a precedent. Anyway thanks for the reply, do you guys have a discord or somewhere I can follow your progress? I'm downloading the demo now so I'll be having a go myself shortly I think.

They’re smurfs! Lol
