I was lucky enough to play this early! It turned out great. Really tight controls, and super addictive.

This is the most pleasant and thoughtful review a game of mine ever got:
"A impressive, interesting, elegant, and pretty tile laying puzzle game. The central play loop and core mechanics is fabulous and really enjoyable. The game is enticing and well balanced as well.

My only suggestion for improvement is to expand the Laboratory and make that aspect of the game more interesting. If the upgrades were hexagons, the "skill tree" could use the exact same mechanics as the game itself, and also have upgrades linked to in game achievements color-coded to match the terrain types they're associated with, which makes those upgrades more thematic as well. I'd also like to see the ability to unlock, upgrade, or discover different tiles, tile types, and unique tiles. I feel like there's a lot of potential to enrich the game through the laboratory that hasn't been explored yet. The upgrades could even result in subtle changes to the tiles themselves, like having people/automatons on tiles that are doing things. They could be static changes to the sprite or animated behaviors that wander around, interact, and do things.

I'd also like to be able to mouse over the upcoming tiles in the tray and rotate them."

Good launch for Realmfold! A little under what I remember Towerbound (my best), but similar performance. Towerbound kept it up for about a week after launch before it dropped off on @itch.io. Not sure if Realmfold will keep going as strongly, but hoping some players come back to it. #gamedev
Realmfold analytics, landed at a little under 300 views/day and about 200 browser plays/day, plus some downloads.

Started a prototype for a Dorfromantik clone over the weekend. Hooked it up with some mushroom, crystal, and ruin models from poly.pizza and it looks pretty cool. Right now you have to build leylines and other tiles need to be adjacent to leylines to make it different from Dorfromantik. #gamedev
