Hey everyone!
With the Most Wanted Feature Update out now, we are now fixing our gaze on the most important update since Creative Mode! More News in that regard will come soon™, so please look forward to that.
The Upcoming Game Mode
Today, we’d like to invite you once again to make your ideas and voices heard, and help us shape Dorfromantik to make it the best it can be. With our upcoming, third Game Mode, “Custom Mode” (Name subject to change) we plan to give you the keys to the castle, so to speak. In this Game Mode you will be able to play around with a lot of options and tailor the game to your wishes.
New possibilites
Want to play without trains? No problem!
Less fields, but more water for more wooded islands? You know it!
Start off with less tiles? More Tiles? Yup, we got that too.
Only got the time for a short session and you don’t want another open game? Set a Tile Limit, just like we had in the various Demos!
This mode will also bring deterministic seeds, meaning you can share your 'seed' with someone else, and you will both play the same game! Never has it been easier to determine who's the better Dorfromantik player. You will also be able to share your custom game setup that way!
Preset Modes
We will also be creating a handful of selected custom modes ourselves, which will be available to everybody by default as presets and will likely have their own leaderboards. We have two ideas already, which we'd like to share with you as examples of what we're looking for suggestion-wise:
- A quick mode which, like our various demoes, has a tile limitation that allows smaller and faster game sessions.
- A hard mode that will be more difficult than the Classic Mode for everybody who wants to compete at a higher level of difficulty.
Help us shape the new Game Mode!
This brings us to the heart of today’s call for ideas. Well, it is two-fold, really.
We would love to know the following things:
- Which parameters would you like to be able to tweak for custom games? These could be options such as Stack Size, Quests Rewards / Frequency, or Tile Limitations.
- Which preset game modes would you like to see in the game? As already mentioned, these preset game modes can also have their own leaderboards, but this is not a requirement, for example, if you would like to have an even calmer game mode completely without a highscore, that would also be an viable option.
We will be collecting all ideas and wishes from you over the next days and then check what the most requested and/or most interesting sounding suggestions are, which we can include in the game for you. Please share your thoughts with us here in the discussion thread or talk to us directly over on our Discord.
💛💙 Stay safe
