the game is fun i think the graphics are a great tribute to what gaming was. I liked the colors just as much. I made a pretty pink dragon, got the fiery breath killed, the evil wizard that captured me and became a fiery watcher ( burn the forest but not the city then head to the mountain). A lot of people are struggling with the titles and behavior so ill make a list of all SEVEN behaviors, how to get them and the titles. WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS

behaviors
fiery: get the fire breath and burn everything in your path
healer: get the healer breath heal the people of the city. DO NOT heal the people in the war there can be no zombies
necromantic: get the healer breath head to the war zone and make a bunch of zombies
wild: get the leaf breath grow the city, the crops, and the forest
fertile: get the leaf breath grow the forest and the crops but not the town
reclusive: get any breath type and do nothing
rampaging: get any breath type and jump/eat people
titles
guardian: do no harm to the people and make your home the castle . if you want a fiery guardian burn the forest wild guardian grow the forest and houses. necromantic guardian heal everyone but do not hurt the people . so there are some slight variations on the behaviors to get the title you want
tyrant: kill everyone and everything then land on the castle
watcher: same thing as the guardian except you land on the mountain
scourge: kill everyone and everything in your path then land on the mountain

Played it a few days ago when it came out. I was disappointed that collecting all of the elements(?) didn’t produce a special breath.

The music is oddly reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain.

Can you link us to his personal website? Armorgames blocked at many workplaces and I imagine it would draw attention to his other good work more efficiently than linking to works you’ve reported on previously.
Really, I just want to play it on lunch break.

Jumping on commoners makes a really satisfying sound.

Shit, that XX should’ve said “Weir”. Bad editing on my part.

I guess I was also hoping for the different permutations of stages (colour, power, interacting with village, hero) to have more of an outcome on each other and on the final ending. Both Colours and Dragon, in their simplicity, really lend well to exploring permutations. I was never bored or uninterested in finding the different abilities or colours here, but it did seem like the previous stages should’ve had more of an effect on the hero stage, which they don’t seem to. Which is too bad, because XX does a great job of allowing influencing you to explore and create your own narrative. The little things like armour in the basement, the noose, the bloodied villagers, really allow you to think that there’s more going on than is explicit, but the surface narrative and limited interactions leave me feeling a little unsatisfied.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what Weir does next.
