Thanks for the feedback Lynea! Onboarding will definitely be a huge focus if there are any updates. Glad you were able to enjoy your time once everything was figured out!

Thanks for the detailed feedback Molli! We spent quite a bit of effort making sure that feedback systems of the game were well iterated on. The tutorial is definitely something we would have executed earlier so some of the rougher aspects could be more polished to the same level. I'm glad you were able to have an enjoyable experience, and the praise for the character designs is well appreciated given how lovely the ones in your entry were executed!

Oh hey Kimu made an entry, would explain the cute art style! Charming diners style game,  quite a clean game for the jam!

Funny physics based game, for some reason the camera seems to be a bit out of control, probably because it could get so close and tilt so far up. Fun concept overall.

Interesting ice cream parlor experience, definitely was caught off guard a bit by how suddenly it starts but seems pretty fun

Neat pizza making game, definitely would be nice to include the instructions in the game itself - but the simplicity of the concept was pretty charming.

Cute visual novel, nice combination of painterly backgrounds and storybook looking characters

Animation work was quite fine, quite a funky soundtrack too

Interesting use of voxels, brings an uncanny vibe that fits with the whole concept.

Quite a nice game loop for going it solo, the rhythm game loop is pretty solid in this enjoyable little experience.

Cute game, I like the responsive sounds for feedback to your actions. 

Great art and the atmosphere is on point. Nice use of the visual novel format Puffy

Very nice presentation, shame the game was not able to be fully realized! I like the painterly nature

Mole miner picking up blocks is a cool mechanic, could be iterated on a bit more. For smoothness. Otherwise fun.

Cool game! Would be nice if holding the mouse dug - was the only real issue though accessibility wise. Reminds me of battleship somewhat.

That's really fun, pretty easy to get a hang of game.

Interesting concept, the puzzle setup with different foods attracting different animals is neat.

I like the FTL inspiration. Ambitious concept for a jam!

Charming artstyle, I like the character design and writing. Good use of Godot for a jam game - works quite nicely.

An easy to implement feature which would greatly aid in structure diversity would be an adjacent to placement  / operation tag for structures - one which is checked on placement and world update within the adjacent regions only. This would allow for systems such as easy multi tile structures (have a preset of adjacency dependent structures which access the same UI) as well as water dependent resources not necessarily on water tiles (like fishing huts). Additionally, a system for multiple structure layers would be useful for things such as placing road underneath gate houses (versus having road speed and graphics logic tied to the gate house / structure itself) or buildings on raised platforms or fortifications in swamps or military areas. The same logic would be useful later for things such as seige engines, which could then be coded similar to settlers to be able to deploy into a structure and unpack later utilizing layers.

As a less pressing but still easy to implement - with a large payoff - concern, there should be a way to set certain resources to be visible only to certain races in the UI - as right now one can technically custom balance resources for different races in the API - but the visual support lags behind a bit (A nice way to do this might to be only showing the resources for the current races the player has under their control - you seem to already has a race.query function, so that plus some additional lines in r_race would go a long way towards making multiple player friendly races  possible.

And finally, if there is the possibility of adding a quick build bar of some kind to settlements / hold shift to place multiple - it would greatly aid in building up settlements quickly. A priority queuing system would be ideal, but the first statement would be a simple step towards improving player UX. (Though the second could be done through a say: 1-10 array of lists collection with 1-10 being the priority level for each structure. That or a simple linked list ).

I have encountered a similar issue pre 2.1 - it seemed to be related to path finding when cargo paths were saturated at some point with units - now that friendlies can move through each other (and most likely another system tweak) the issue seems to be non-existent even at high loads.
