DUDE, dude, making money and getting to keep it after student loads is the mysterious dungeon of LIFE. I love this premise. The adventurers have great speeches about their lives. Like, in their three minute stay I learned so much about Talia of the Wasted from their denial about how they handle alcohol to how their body is marked up and they want to do the same to other people.
Some things I ran into: it wasn't clear to me for a little bit at the start that customers would keep rolling in and out of my pen, once I got that the game pattern made sense to me. I like all the recipes, but the recipe book is a little hard to read the typeface could be bigger in most cases through the game. Also in the recipe book the words are white on a light background, I started just guessing what it says based on the pictures. Last thing, I really appreciate that the customer spells out on the left what their recipe requires and it'd be nice if it also had a slot that mentioned which station the recipe needs to be performed. I made two Jumprope Whips trying to make some Heavy Gauntlets at the Tannery (I figured since there was leather in the recipe?) before finding the recipe book for the first time and seeing that it was under the Blacksmith category. I want a phantom hover hoover pony smart car so I can sleep while traveling like the zz wizard! Maybe that's an ultimate recipe for later.
Uh, question, why does anyone need a bendy coat hanger? bahaha! I like the ballad of the nutcracker too, there were a lot of really cute items you could make. Nice work, team!
