Thank you! Yes I can see we had similar ideas! I hope I get to play a complete version of yours too someday!
Yes I made a playable prototype which was just the gameplay without the daily randomness, but found it a bit... boring tbh. So I added a random event system which, initially, was supposed to happen every 3 - 4 days.
While testing I had it tuned up to 100% and realized that it was a lot more fun to have random things happen pretty much all the time haha!
