Feedback on Catan Game

Hey there, first post on the forums so excuse me if I do anything wrong.

I’ve created a game which is pretty similar to the real board game Catan. I’ve been trying to get feedback on it, but I’m having trouble finding people who know how to play or are interested to play.

If any of you feel so kind enough to play a few minutes and provide genuine feedback, I’d appreciate it.

To start off, as a strategy-game addict It’s quite a decent game as a starting point on your development career.

However I’d like to point out a few issues and possible improvements:

  1. Should put player characters in a failsafe to prevent them from repeatedly dying by falling in the void off-camera
  2. Camera is able to zoom and clip into the board, perhaps add a barrier value for the y-axis
  3. Add a skip button for AI turns because most players are impatient and will leave your game if they get too bored and tired of waiting
  4. Improve textures and maybe add some 3d models (eg trees, sand dunes, wooden ports/piers etc), you can also animate the waters surrounding the board
  5. Improve GUI design (I reccomend using UIGradients overlapped with decal patterns for a change, but the UI scaling is ok)
  6. Include an instruction manual GUI which explains the rules and mechanisms of the game that can be opened anytime - NOT TUTORIALS

Hello there! I tried your game :slight_smile: personally I pretty much like it but perhaps there could be more details, and more instructions to make the game more clear to a player. (Since I don’t know this game It took me a little bit to understand it)

First off, thanks for taking the time out of your day to play a bit and share your input.

I’ve gone ahead and fixed some of the things you mentioned, such as the limiting the cameras y-axis and preventing the player from dying.

Hopefully by the end of today I can implement some of your other ideas into the game!

I’m glad to hear you liked the game. I don’t really hear that often haha.

We will definitely make the actions/events in the game more clear to the user. It can be pretty confusing if you initially don’t know how to play the Catan.

I will admit, when I posted this, the game wasn’t fully done to my expectations, but I just wanted to gather some early opinions.
