Just beat the game with 72 people! I didn't read your page fully so the end was a fun surprise! I had no problems figuring out to click for resources, but it took me a while to figure out that mines/lumber yards give out.

Some things that might improve the game:

-notification somewhere when a mine/lumber yard has run out.

-notification when at least the first pirate ship comes

-notification when the next harvest/time to feed your people is

-escalating pirate numbers or difficulty (the game was quite easy once you built the first tower)

-maybe the ability to put certain resources into the ship?

I don't know, those are just off the top of my head.

Thank you very much for your input!

The lack of feedback in the game, like what you mentioned with the mines/lumber shacks, has been really bothering me since release, since stuff like the resource depletion was added last minute to balance the game better.

So I can't wait to get these things fixed, once the game jam is over.

The idea of having a notification for incoming pirates is a very good idea, I'll definitely look into doing that.

The pirates are actually supposed to naturally ramp up in difficulty over time in the game, but I probably broke it in the updated version and didn't notice, much like how I didn't notice that the game's window still has the dumb name that I originally gave it.

I also agree with you on being able to put individual resources into your ship, I'll have to look into the best way of doing that, while still keeping the UI as simple as it is.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! And I really appreciate the advice and ideas. Thank you.
