I made a game about a village in northern Germany year 1

I have a great love for mythology (from various regions, though specifically norse mythology) and have wanted to use it as the background for a story.

I finally dared to do this two years ago.

I did NOT anticipate how hard it would be to research for this.
I have various editions of the edda and kings' sagas at home both in German and English (and every time I was looking for a specific song / text it would be one missing from mine :D )

I also relied HEAVILY on the work of Rudolf Simek whole "dictionary" was invaluable especially since he is very open about how vague some of our knowledge is.

Help needed for a bachelor thesis survey

Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking for volunteers to playtest a small roguelike game developed as part of my bachelor thesis.

The test consists of:

+ Playing the game for approximately 15-30 minutes

+ Filling out a short questionnaire afterwards (around 5-10 minutes)

(Testing will probably happen end of June or early July.)

No special experience is required. Both experienced roguelike players and complete newcomers are welcome.

The game is a simple prototype focused on gameplay rather than graphics, so I'm mainly interested in your honest impressions of the gameplay experience.

If you're interested in participating, please leave a comment or send me a direct message and will add you to a dedicated discord.
