That's incredibly kind, thank you! That is indeed a design principle I was going for -- fully interconnected relationships. I'm not happy with the balance I was able to complete by game jam end, but since then I've added new wood choppers using copper and bronze (once you unlock them), unlocks for apples, sugar beets, cows, and chickens discoverable through the trading post, and so on that help bring you back to the earlier areas. Everyone's responses are going to keep me developing this for sure, I really appreciate it.
