Kind Of Pretty Alright

Alpha 3 is done! This one has families, completely new pillaging mode, character traits, loyalty system and a fixed inventory implementation. Plus tons of small stuff! Let me know what you think, especially if anything is utterly unintuitive. Also, is it fun yet?

To run it, all you have to do is extract the zip and then run tinyTyranny.exe located in the dist folder. Keep in mind this will only work on Windows for now.

Tiny Tyranny Alpha 4 is in the works, but I’m still figuring out what to prioritize. Any thoughts on what we should add next?

Tiny Tyranny is still moving. There’s a lot of cleanup to be done and bugs to fix for the alpha but I’ll be ready to post it on the 15th. (I’m not around next weekend to work).

The big changes are that enemies now use weapons, the inventory system is fixed so it actually keeps track of what you have instead of just being endless buckets of swords (a cool band name by the way). Also, I got the basic trait system in place which means that I have a way to add in level-up perks and Tyrant setup, which will be one of the core areas of the next alpha.

Right now the traits add to the fun, when you’re the competent tyrant trying lead a one-eyed archer and a needy swordsman.

I also added some prisons which give you an extra chance to recapture deserters when they are crewed. The last game, all my characters were pretty busy pillaging, so I made one of the kids jailkeeper and she did a decent job keeping the attrition rate down.
