How does your game fit the theme?
Ran out of time so it doesn't really fit the theme, but the idea was to build a large production network, and eventually zoom out - scale - to use your own network as one node among many.

It definitely is an interesting concept. Am I understanding correctly that after having the ore refinery done there's no way to use the iron? Is that where you ran out of time? I could see myself playing a node-based factory game, so maybe consider continuing the game to at least a point where you could run a playtest.
If I'm not mistaken there is no way to generate money from refined iron. Besides that problem I'm a sucker for factory games so seeing a submission like this is really pleasant surprise.
Thanks! Yeah I started working on a market near the end but ran out of time haha. I've wanted to make a game like this for a long time (almost half inspired by Victoria 3 and Factorio) so it was a lot of fun to work on.
nodes nodes nodes! super cool concept
I like this a lot! This is really clever. I would like some more instructions on what to do, but I could see myself playing a game like this for a long time. Awesome!
That's a cool idea ! It a nice way to use these nodes. I find it a bit hard on the UX side, it is a bit unclear what is happening, but I liked the idea ! :)
