Thank you for adding that!
But it looks like there's a problem since I'm in the US. I haven't seen this error before. The linked page 404s too.
Okay, I think this is actually due to the itch.io app sandboxing? When I launch the game from the itch.io app with sandboxing on, the Aircraft and Vehicle block previews are messed up, and the Open/Export dialogs have trouble opening some paths.
When I turn off sandboxing and launch from the itch.io app or launch the exe itself, the previews and paths are all fine. Not sure if supporting sandbox is on y'all's roadmap or not, but it'd be cool if you did as it's a useful feature from itch.
I'm still getting block artifacts in the preview sidebar (first saw in Asset Forge Deluxe 1.2.0) for Aircraft (screenshot) and Vehicle (screenshot) blocks. The other types are fine.
I have the Ultra setting for quality, so I believe I'm on AFD 1.2.1.
Great idea, and good execution!
I just played by myself but found it pretty engrossing right away (didn't finish a song though, almost!). Hard to tell my progress, but it was just fast enough that I didn't have time to worry about it.
Very slick opening scene (photo fading in, title text overstamp, good choice of font), I really dug that.
Nice job!
Thanks to all for playing and rating so far!
To jwang19's point, there were definitely some performance issues that became more apparent as you do better in the game (turns out reflowing layout on each leaving audience member callback maybe not sustainable).
I've directly addressed those performance concerns in an update I just pushed, and it definitely is running smoother. Plus, there's a weird Chrome bug(?) that makes the leaving audience members kinda flash a little before disappearing. So that's neat. Safari still hates gigantic spritesheets, so I've noted on the game page that it works best on Chrome/Firefox.
Also found and fixed an issue where you couldn't actually win if you got to 500Million. =) Not surprised no one found that (yet).
@joystickhero: Thanks for playing and especially thanks for commenting!
And you're not definitely alone in being confused about the phrase effects. All through testing I wasn't always sure exactly what would happen, but I made peace with it by knowing that 1) all the info is there by hovering each audience (which is tedious and not intended to be played that way, but it's possible) and 2) the replay value comes from the quirkiness and fun of the random phrases. =) Which I'm super glad to hear you enjoyed! Thanks again.
