No, I don't have a YouTube channel.

I've actually played the game and finished it several times now.  I see that the money/gold is not really needed once you get the hang of the game, unless you want to change the color of your guy or your horse .  Or if you want the car, but I haven't really found a good use for it as it is too fast and unwieldy (but perhaps there is a secret use?).

I think placing the pizza place right near the free water kind of defeats the purpose.  Who's going to pay when they can run over a little ways and get it for free?

I'm also wondering what the purpose of the Benio? Dog house? Near your "home" is.  I haven't been able to figure that one out.  (I think I saw in the video of the ALPHA there was a dog bone, but I haven't found one of those.)

One other question I did have is did you mean to use the word "Diner" instead of "Dinner"?  It seems like "Diner" makes more sense.

I am very impressed with what you have accomplished!  It is really a very good game, and could be great with a bit more to do, like missions and stuff.  You have the basics for a great game here.

Did you make this game using your own engine?  I'm particularly impressed with the size of the executable compared to how much game is included.  15MB for this game seem ridiculously small considering how nice it is and it also seems very resource efficient.  If I alt-tab to use other program while it's running, I barely even know it's still there (which is good because there is no save-game feature).  This is not the case with so many other games that use standard game engines that seem to be very inefficient.

EDIT: Just realized you are using Clickteam Fusion for the game engine, seems like a pretty good tool.
