$10 for a game with very little content isn't very good I understand game development is hard and expensive but come on... the game has very little replayability and hasn't been updated in over a year, I'm not asking for the game to be free but they should make the game cheaper if they decide to give up updating the game.
I've noticed this dev seems to abandon games when they 'finish' them leaving them half-baked yet at the same price.
For anything I would want to see in such a game, mostly when the game-play can last about five hours, depending on the game span settings, I would like to see a way to same the progress, and come back to it later.
Knowing the project is done as is, I'd suggest having a save option in the mentioned Daggan 2, if possible.
Fun fact, don't know if this was a glitch, but I started a game, didn't even get to make a move in it, before I had to leave it. When I came back, seen the game say, "You win." Don't know how that was possible, but was funny to see.
Took time to learn a few things about the game, such as, you don't aim at what you want to hit with the aim cross. Found it near impossible to hit small rocks doing that. Instead, I had to aim the swing slash, usually animated below the aim cross, at a target to hit it properly.
I look forward to seeing the Daggon 2 once it's available. And wondering if it will have everything in 3D, or if it be a mix of 3D and 2D like this one is.
My vote is to see everything as 3D models, such as in Just in Slime. A game that reminds me of KoboldKare, just a little. ^.^
A lot of people helped me enough so I could finish the game. Basically now I'm still learning new stuff through new projects and there's nothing more I can do for Daggan (without breaking it). But I'm very happy with the game now, it exceeded my expectations and it's better than my original idea. More focused and creative at least X'D
i don't usually write comments like this, but reading all of the comments from entitled pricks about how the game should cost less made me want to voice my support. i'm glad you know that your work has value and that you're not taking any shit about it (the "1-2 hours" line had me cackling). i think i've gotten about all the gameplay i'm going to get out of Daggan in its final state, and i'm not disappointed with my purchase. i understand why you're not updating the game anymore, and while i'm sad there won't be any more of this cute little base-builder, i'm glad you're able to work on what you want to work on. i'm looking forward to whatever you make next! and if there's any drudgery you don't want to do, or any technical problems you need help with, or text that needs proofreading or anything like that, i'd be happy to lend a hand - for free, of course :3 . i've got plenty of skills but always a shortage of ideas, so the chance to work on an Actual Thing - from a developer whose work i enjoy - is enough of a reward for me.
Thank you very much, I'm very happy you feel all of that about Daggan! If you want you come on my discord server, that's where I share about my ongoing games, nsfw arts, and people can play the prototypes and fill playtest forms!
Thank you, I totally agree! I'm solo dev, I really tried to add multiplayer but it's super complicated and costly so I gave up on that :0 maybe in a future game!
Definitely. But as the dev has said in other comments they develop solo. And if the dev loses interest there's really no point in continuing development ): . But theres still a chance for future development so that's somthing to hope for I guess
Considering this game hasn't really been getting any real updates in a long while.. Not to mention in the spam of a few months it went from 0.12 all the way to 1.0.1 The Patreon being down. For something so simple and small in all honestly not to mention something that still seems VERY much in Alpha. $10 is way over priced for what is basically a concept at this point.
There should be a demo for people to be able to play and to test out because the little bit of what you show off doesn't tell or help explain let alone show off what game play is about. I seen bigger games be sold for less and to counter something you said earlier.
"Would be a shame to be paid for my work" Yes, since at the moment it seems you are being paid for doing nothing but fighting with comments that ask for a **DEMO** Version. you know how absolutely easy it would be to have a Demo set up right..? Do what other developers do and simply have a earlier version like the mentined 0.12 and have that be the Demo. You aren't showing off anything you don't already or plan on not wanting to have out there for free And you allow yourself to have more exposure and trust from people that are able to confirm whether or not they want this game or not.
Again. 10 Dollars for something that honestly could be done in 1-2 hours. That hardly has anything when there are games like this for free that has days worth of content.. It feels like someone trying to sell me a DLC for horse armor in Oblvion all over again.
It's a one-dev-game. But if you can do more in "1-2 hours" I'll be happy to play it. Just a reminder though, every sprite in the game took around 2 to 6 hours to animate. There are something like 80 sprites.
And that's just speaking of the characters' visual assets.
This game is, maybe, not what you're looking for. If you expect countless hours of dull content, you should look at the big AAA games in the market. Maybe understand these games have hundred of hours of content cause they have millions of dollars to spend. Some were made over decades. I had no budget and no time sadly. Only my hard work and my passion.
So here it is. A no-budget game made by one stupid person in a couple of years. You can spit on it, insult it, shame it. It's still 10$ for you.
bitch there are games that have less content than this from sony and xbox and cost way more go touch some grass and make your own game before criticizing the price plus if it were me yall would be paying hundreds and that's not even half the amount they spent to make this so yeah go spend thousands on a game then come back and criticize
I don't hate this game. I know this game is high quality and he put a lot of ideas into this game and put a lot of dedication into implementing it. However, I am a buyer and have the right to criticize or praise this game after purchasing it. Please do not compare this game to Xbox or Sony. Then you will be more at a disadvantage.
disadvantage? what disadvantage? not being a idiot who thinks he has a right to criticize a game because ha paid barely any on it when its better than some xbox or sony games. and if you really think that its not better than some of their games then you haven't seen some of their games that are very bad and way worse than this that cost a crapton more than this. go pay thousands on a game and spend days to weeks developing it then you have a right to criticize this game.
Since I've been playing your game since v0.6 i decided to buy and downplay through itch all the way through the 0.1.1 update i decided to buy your game through steam but what makes me feel not okay,
it's very noticeable lag, camera movement, I can't play your game. Why is it like this now? It makes me very disappointed and I deeply hope that it might be resolved someday
And will hope to come back to buy it again someday
Why was the switch to build mode changed? I can't build because I don't have a MMB.. well I have a scroll wheel but I can only push it to the sides so it's not counted as MMB Please, do one last update for this amazing game where we can keybind everything.
would you be able to add in a feature where you can have offspring/allies with a mixed appearance based on the wanderer you have sex with? i think it might look cool
Can you make it so the population limit isn't so low. When I set up a 3 hr game I end bored having max population and not having much to do. (If you can't make it a setting in the main menu then can you make a .cfg file that we can edit to change values on the fly.)
I am a little saddened that this game will go no further. The art and concept are very appealing. Hopefully this won't be the last game of its kind, I'd love to see more combat/survival type games.
I'd love to add more but it's just hurting the game now to add more content. But I'm still learning and hopefully someday I'll continue its story, but with better systems and all the missing features (like the save or a couch mutliplayer). So yeah in the future I'll probably try to make a sequel of the game UwU
I'm glad to hear that. From what you have shown thus far you have the dedication to actually pull off the kinds of things that often prove too much for some devs. Cheers!
I have noticed 2 issues with my experience with the game: 1. Fortifications tend to be more of a hindrance then help. Stone towers don't work well because your units always hit the tower rather then the enemy they aim at. Wood towers work fine, but the enemies can just walk to the top and attack your allies. Placing walls to prevent monsters from reaching your akkies result on the arrow once again being blocked by the walls.
2. Even if allies refuse to destroy npc house when told, wood cutting allies will still cut down houses as they see them as wood sources.
It would also be nice if wanderers could also get a gender icon like your allies have.
I did very much like the concept and growing your population however. Hope either those little issues are fixed, or see a even more fun game made by you next :D

Hello before i buy this can i save my world
I'd really like to check out a short demo before I buy it :]
Are you planning on make a android version I would love to play this when I don't have access to my computer
Great game by the way
Show post...
honestly im kinda sad i cant help the developer by helping them code the game or pay them.
A lot of people helped me enough so I could finish the game. Basically now I'm still learning new stuff through new projects and there's nothing more I can do for Daggan (without breaking it).

is it going on steam
It's been on steam
Like someone else said the game is already on Steam! :D
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1698670/Daggan/
it would be sick if there was a way that you could play muiltplayer.
sick game 10/10
Thank you, I totally agree! I'm solo dev, I really tried to add multiplayer but it's super complicated and costly so I gave up on that :0 maybe in a future game!
really hope this game gets updated again at some point. would love new stuff added
Definitely. But as the dev has said in other comments they develop solo. And if the dev loses interest there's really no point in continuing development ): . But theres still a chance for future development so that's somthing to hope for I guess
I can't do much more for Daggan, but I do plan to do Daggan 2 now that I have more experience and knowledge UwU
That sounds exciting!
Is this game being updated still?
Nope, I'm onto new games.
why does it cost money now ;-;
Cause I spent years working on it.
ah true
Update when? :)
Patreon is not found? Are you on Subscribestar?
Oops I probably forgot to update the link!

Ah great. You now have a new Patreon. But don't forget to update the link at the top of the page.^^

full respect, game dev is hard, but give credit where credit is due, incase the website bugs out, 10 bucks on a game that has a chance to be dropped
not sure what to say, still want to try the game out but been busy
The game is too expensive for the content....But I don't regret buying this game

wish there was a free version so I could know if i want the game, that is why most games have a demo for the

i think they should put it for free
Would be a shame to be paid for my work right?
Yea it would be such a shame.
not at all! but mabye a demo so that we know if we like the game before buying (granted 10$ isn't a hell of alot)
it was free at once but now it is no longer free
Why was the switch to build mode changed?
I can't build because I don't have a MMB.. well I have a scroll wheel but I can only push it to the sides so it's not counted as MMB
Please, do one last update for this amazing game where we can keybind everything.
I just came back to this game after a long time.
If you go into the wiki you should find the corresponding keyboard key for building mode UwU
Thank you ^^
Have a nice rest of your day.
I hope you'll enjoy the gaaaame! And I have some free (for the moment) games on my page if you want more fun and lewd X)
I have only played a few minutes, but the game has potential. Too bad no have savestates, I hope you can include it in next games.
would you be able to add in a feature where you can have offspring/allies with a mixed appearance based on the wanderer you have sex with? i think it might look cool
there is gay sex here?
Yes if you choose to have sex with males only
That is a solid 10/10 answer lol
this is a very important question does this game support 32bit systems? Please respond .
Can you make it so the population limit isn't so low. When I set up a 3 hr game I end bored having max population and not having much to do. (If you can't make it a setting in the main menu then can you make a .cfg file that we can edit to change values on the fly.)
There's a statue you can build to double the population limit.
This game still getting updates.
Will there be a free version? Maybe just a version to try out, a test, before downloading the full game?
Could you consider an Android version please?
Would you ever add a s#x gallery to this game?
No, that's not the point of the game UwU
Is there a difference between the steam version and this version of the game?
Nope, they're the same version!
How do you use the Forge?
Is saving a game not a function? no breaks
I haven't played in a while but now that the game it's on a 1.0.3 version, it says a lot, I can't wait to see what the game holds! :'o
I hope you'll enjoy it if you give it a try X)
A question before buying, are the allies only females?
No they randomly female or male. Same for the wanderer scattered on the map X)
I bought your game on steam without setting my account to private, now all my friends know I'm a degen. Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10/10 I'd do it again.
I can feel that! I used my personal account as well to publish all my games on Steam UwU
I am a little saddened that this game will go no further. The art and concept are very appealing. Hopefully this won't be the last game of its kind, I'd love to see more combat/survival type games.
I'd love to add more but it's just hurting the game now to add more content. But I'm still learning and hopefully someday I'll continue its story, but with better systems and all the missing features (like the save or a couch mutliplayer).

Hey I got a question, does this game still have M/M scenes in it?
Absolutely!!!
I have noticed 2 issues with my experience with the game:
1. Fortifications tend to be more of a hindrance then help. Stone towers don't work well because your units always hit the tower rather then the enemy they aim at. Wood towers work fine, but the enemies can just walk to the top and attack your allies.

Hey I really love this game, and I was wondeing if you were planning on adding climax scenes at all?
