Description

Scribed castle is a relaxing building game with a unique art style. Dive into relaxing scribing during the day and protecting your town at night.

You are a monk who received a manuscript from God that can materialize anything you draw in it into the world. 

Scribing surfaces

Time to scribe, but to draw any structure, you need a surface. So it's time to scribe one!

Scribing structures

As a monk, you will scribe structures. You can scribe structure upon structures. Some of them are for decoration, and some for the economy.

Requests

The Scribed castle has a special mechanic to help you scribe. It is pre-assembled structures that can give you interesting rewards.

Folks

To earn money, you need some folks to work in the fields, and to protect them, you need guards. There are several types of folks, but not everyone is friendly.

Supported languages: english, ukrainian

          Вона настільки тупо зроблена та непродумана що в неї просто неможливо грати. Marginalact просто найжахливіший gamedev України.

          I really enjoyed the game! It has a pleasant atmosphere, an interesting concept, and overall left a very good impression. Definitely worth checking out

          I really want to like this game so I'm going to give it a positive review and hope that the dev will improve a few of these things-
          -I'm hoping for some updates that make building the blueprints more intuitive. Perhaps placing a ghost of the blueprint on the ground to make seeing what you are trying to build a bit simpler.
          -Additionally, I'm having issues with enemies spawning from nowhere. I get the need for challenge, but in the first non tutorial level I am being swamped by wolves and what I assume are heretics right away.
          -Also, combat is confusing and, well, jank. There are no death animations and my defenders seem to be hammering away at an endless stream of enemies and I have no idea if they are being even remotely effective.
          -Lastly, I have no music in my game? The music in the game trailer is very nice, why isn't it playing in my game.

          If some of these issues are addressed, this could end up being a very fun, hopefully low stress little builder with a cute aesthetic.

          its fun, try it out.
          its cozy and unique, and most of al it has a great aesthetic.
          a little tip is to press N to disable fade mode to actually see what you have build.

          that said, it is still a little to buggy but i see the dev actively hotfixing stuff people adres.
          - i could not go trough with my island because everything got stuck, every character stood still, villagers stayed in there houses and the dragons became invincible. the first half hour saving and reloading worked. sadly this time it did not.
          - i run in to a problem where i can not delete certain buildings, the first 2 floors work, but after that it refuses to delete the last and it makes the 'not possible' sound. saving and reloading fixes it.
          -as i said throughout playing i keep having to save and reload the game because the characters stop moving around the island, saving and reloading fixed it.
          -when i deleted the merchant on accident, i could not replace it on its default place (the little island on the side) when i then places it on the main island, it keeps duplicating after reloading a save file,
          - i do not really like that you have to click in and out of the inventory/build menu every 2 seconds, i think it should be just open, the gameplay and screen has room for it
          - more then a couple building blocks, like walls and towers etc felt useless because there is not really a reason to place them. like houses or farms you gain money from. so it could be me but i noticed i did not place them at al, because i forgot them. but maybe they have a defensive function i did not stumble upon it yet
          - the building feels a little clunky because in order to demolish a block/building you have to have a building in your hand.

          that said. i did not play that long yet, and i think it deserves more time to look in to.
          lets see what the dev brings! in the meantime im exploring further.
          this studio seems to have a lot of interesting unique games on there record, lots to see

          I've been having some fun with this as a break from other things. The art style is quite sweet, and essentially you're creating structures using an animated planner to help work out just how to do it. For me, a big part of this has been not the figuring out what I need to do but figuring out how to do it.

          There's a bit of tower defence to it with waves of enemies who are beaten on a rock/paper/scissors kind of basis by units you can have deployed to protect your little peasants who farm away to pay for your construction.

          Couple of little things which could help me would be to make deleting what you've built a little easier to figure out, and some more screen options. But tiny indie game and dev has already dropped a hot fix on one little bug I ran into so credit to them already on that.
