Interesting concept but I feel its a bit lacking. With the default output on screen I didn’t even know who any of these names were. It wasn’t until I opened up the excel file that I had any clue and then found out there were stats attached to each name (which was cool).
I think this could have some potential if you were to work on the story telling aspect. As it stands I was never invested in any of the characters and trying to parse everything from the excel file would be too much work.
For example, I noticed one of the character’s happiness went down, but I couldn’t figure out why.
Hi!
We've been discussing adding the family names for all people to help reading the timeline without referring to the Excel output file. Most likely reason for the happiness drops is being captured in war. That happens a lot in this version.
Tried this out, and unfortunately there seem to be some issues causing it to crash when hitting generate; it works when not entering custom names, so probably related to the user input?
Hi, thank you for looking into our tool! Did the tool visibly crash or simply nothing happened after clicking generate? Because the only way to enter the input is to press Enter, after each input, and that can be a bit unintuitive at times.
It visibly crashed, and I had to restart it to try again.
I can't replicate the error, and we tried on 3 different computers. If you are curious about what it's happening, as we are, could you run the program through the command line and tell us what you saw? We would be grateful for that :)
Sure thing; looks like it's a name length issue from the stacktrace, so probably only repros with certain names:
Curious, the problem seems to be with the excel output. We will try to avoid this in the next update. Thank you a lot for your help!
