That’s a nice game, I love the art and especially the cute noises the spirits make.
The game quickly slowed down as I added things though. Also, it looks like a lot of spirit won’t explore the island and stay at the station instead - maybe they’re scared ?.
Anyway, I had fun building my island and I’m curious about what you’ll add next!
that looks beautiful!!!! question- did you notice that the trees sway a little? I was wondering if I made that effect too subtle
they're probably a little scared, that seems much more likely to me than a bug in my code 😬
im going to look into the performance issues and spirits staying at the station bug this weekend! thanks for the feedback and ill keep you posted on updates
since you are looking for feedback, here's some ideas:
some relaxing tunes and/or sounds that are more soothing and less repetitive
ability to mute sound in game
ability to hide the ui
ability to zoom
ability to save (i guess that would only be possible with a download version?)
a variety of spirit behavior would be nice, either interacting with the items or with each other (i realize this is probably a #ton# of work though!)
on that note, i totally vote for a lil spirit who delivers the mail between mailboxes XD
a variety of spirit types would be sweet, but that may not be the vibe you're going for
it seemed that spirits grouped together create a lot of light. maybe the lightposts could glow a bit brighter similar to the spirits and the train headlight? this is an aesthetic choice so i wouldn't say it's necessary.
where is the bathhouse?!? haha, jk
these were the "issues" i ran into while playing:
i couldn't figure out to get all the spirits to explore the island. some would walk around but most of them stayed on the platform. do you know why this might have happened?
at least one of the spirits on my island seemed "stuck". it might(???) have been that i removed and replaced the building they were in (or near), but that didn't seem to be a problem for other spirits. maybe they were just bored. or shy.

[i could add a screenshot but i doubt it would be useful.]
thank you SO much for all this feedback, you have no idea how much it means to me!! I'm going to add all your feedback to my doc and try to work on at least some of it. A couple notes:
-a spirit mail deliverer is the cutest idea I've ever heard
- I noticed that some of them just chill on the platform as well, I'll have to look into that. Im sure its that they're shy and definitely not a bug
- a variety of spirit types also sounds awesome. I need to do more planning on that as I want to decide whether it makes sense to have certain spirits have certain behaviors or if they all act the same but just come in many shapes and sizes
- bathhouse pending (gotta hire myself copyright a lawyer before I introduce yubaba and haku tho)
thank you!!! townscaper was a big influence for sure. Ground elevation would make things look so beautiful. It will be a big undertaking but I'll add it to my list!

^ i fixed the lag and the spirits waiting at the station, thanks again for the feedback
Cute game, but really slow on 32GB of RAM. Slows down when placing houses. And then when there are ore spirits walking around.
ah thank you for the feedback!! I will work on optimizing it this weekend.
fixed up lag btw: https://aunty-games.itch.io/mystic-village/devlog/357125/005-fix-lag-fix-scared-spirits-
so much fun to make a village. I wish I could really make a fence that easily!
<3

zoom: added
you stole my picture mode idea. I can't believe you!1!
that only adds zoom - im working on picture mode now and will push it in the next version release later today
This game looks amazing!
I'm in love with the graphics and the general vibe it gives off.
This sort of reminds me of Townscaper, it could totally work in a similar way where you could save and load your maps.
Ground elevation would also be a nice addition, although it's not an easy task to do.
Looking forward to updates! :)
thank you!!! townscaper was a big influence for sure. Ground elevation would make things look so beautiful. It will be a big undertaking but I'll add it to my list!
Hey really interesting game.
You plan to make some kind of devlog? Would be fun, also i think that a way to zoom in and out can be really cool.
Awesome! I am planning to add zooming in next :)
I'd definitely do a devlog. Should I put it right here in itch.io?
Yeah, offcourse!! I'm curious to see what you'll do next.
i agree! since itch.io already has the functionality built in for devlogs, it seems like the perfect place to host it.
cool cool, this is my first game i've posted here so I wasnt sure if anyone actually looks at those lol
zoom: added
Add a picture mode, amazing game, thanks, love you, gl, love you again, do you accept? thank love
thanks! what do you mean by picture mode?
no UI, so Like when I screenshot it just shows the houses and land not the building mode stuff on the left
dope for coding simplicity im adding a button to disable menus and another button to download screenshots, ill post a devlog when its out
THank you so mucn oml oml oml now everyone can see my masterpieces
I have lots to say about the game, but I would like to try and condense my rambling
into a bullet list:In short, I love it! It might not be engaging, but the game sticks to its own mechanics and purpose, as it is relaxing to play :)
yaaay thanks so much for the feedback! I added all of this to my to do list :) this was indeed inspired by wanting spirited away to be real haha
Hey,
I really like the game so far.
Let me know if i could help you with anything.
thank you!! if you have any ideas for new content in the game that would be great!
