thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m working hard on a big update which hopefully shouldn’t take too much longer!

hi, thanks for the feedback

Yes, the tax system is bugged at the minute, but it is being updated, changed and scheduled (as opposed to random) in the future :)

Thanks for playing and leaving feedback! 

ill be sure to add a skip tutorial option on the next update.

The characters coming into the office are (currently) randomised. So you could actually get the Fiscal Overseer ask about tax much sooner. I guess he just keeps being late for you! 

Cheers :)

4 rations are to be received at the end of the day by default. If you decline any of the DAC members requests, it decreases. Or, some characters may ask for a ration to help them out.

Yes, tax does increase ration cost, but there is  a limit on how low. However, if you’ve increased the tax previously, and then lowered it again, it will decrease. 

Stress will not change the ration amount, only the money you receive. :)

thanks for the kind words! And thank you for playing and making a video. 

Many updates to come, so I hope you’ll enjoy this as it continues to be developed!

cheers

thanks for playing and the feedback!

Others have also mentioned that they’d like to see the ability to improve the max cap. So I’ll be sure to find a way for this! Currently, it is balanced for the demo so that it wouldn’t reach 0 during this playthrough, but you’re right, a longer play would become an issue if not balanced.

Stress currently affects your wage quite significantly. In the future when I’ve implemented the new dialogue system, It’ll have an effect on what choices the player can choose etc. 

Cheers!

Balancing will be adjusted for longer versions :)

currency is calculated using the old english currency system:

20 shillings (silver) equals 1 pound (gold), so your silver coins will reset, but you'll have 1 gold :)

Hi!

Thanks for playing :)

As in, the pounds (gold coin) reset at 20?

Sure! I'll add one to the next update :)

Base wage is increased every week, and then is effected by DAC Reputation, Stress level and your responses to DAC members during the work day :)

Hi! Are you clicking the reply buttons or using A / D? There is currently a bug with clicking that’s effecting things.

else also be aware that denying DAC members of their requests also reduces your ration count by 2. Cheers :)

Thanks for the feedback! I agree - after the next update I’ll be completely redoing the dialogue system and the story for each character. :)

thanks for the feedback! I’m working on a new update which should be out relatively soon :) 

Good point about the brightness, it is a dark game at times and only gets visually darker as the street health reduces. I’ll add a toggle prior to its full release!

as for the wonky doors, there are supposed to be small gates in front of those houses. I’m assuming it doesn’t come across that way? I’ll emphasise this with the art rework.

I had inspiration from Sort The Courts and Reigns mechanics. Just with a little more depth!

Thanks for playing Calciumlime 

Thanks for playing and making a video of Dear Edmund! Glad you enjoyed it. There’s plenty of changes in the works that’ll hopefully make for an even better experience. One being balance which needs adjusting. Your feedback is definitely useful!

As the street health decreases there are visual changes to the buildings of the street, but you kept the health high at all times! (Mainly due to the fact you enjoyed telling Jack to fuck off haha) These decisions will be harder to decline in the future, I’ll make sure of that!

enjoyed the video, good job. Thanks Sake

Try a new game and take the tutorial a little slower, there’s occasionally a bug which can skip the hunger and stress stat tutorial! Apologies.

- to eat or reduce stress, press E by the table in the player house, this’ll open a menu to buy food :)

thanks
