Not a bad start, I like the vib, but I had genuinly no idea what I was doing, I put down a few block's then the game stopped letting me place them...
I know it a bit of a work around, maybe just push for some descriptions of the tile sets.
also not sure about the block placing itself, as the fact it was hovering above seems like a weird design choice, but maybe I just don't get it.
All in all keep up the good work :3
Hey NeonGoo,
thanks for your feedback. As you said it's more of a work around but we recognized that it's really important! We currently work on some first "tutorial" (so to say) instructions. Nothing too fancy - simply to get people to play the game without losing their money too fast.
And that is exactly what happened to you: You weren't able to place the rooms anymore because you had not enough money - at least we assume that because it happens to almost all play testers we were able to encourage to play locally.
The hovering was introduced for juiciness purposes but we are currently thinking about snapping it to the mouse position instead of slightly above the mouse position.
We try our best to make this game fun. And we really like to get your feedback. :D
Here are a few things I've noticed that are a bit.. off with the game? There are also some suggestions.
Hey treebird,
thank you very much for your feedback. Since November 2018 a new version is available in which we were able to include most of your feedback.
The blue icon is most likely the demand for families which you can see in the upper-left corner. If the icon is displayed above the room you have no demand for families and have to pay for advertisement.
The other ideas will be included in a later version if we continue the work on Oddly Assorted. If so, then it will be in the midterm of the year.
Thanks again and I hope you had fun with the game.
Love the concept of the game, and it works a lot better than expected.
A few suggestions:
Some things that @treebird mentioned that I agree with:
Overall, I really like this game, and see a lot of potential in it. Hope my feedback and suggestions are of any help to you. Keep up the good work!

Hey dcwatkins,
thanks for your feedback and sorry for the very late response. I just replied to treebird: we were able to include a lot of your feedback into our new version (released 30th Oct 2018). Nonetheless, the work is paused for now as we are occupied by another project.
The balancing and room diversity is just at the beginning and will be improved in (possible) upcoming releases.
We hope you had fun with the game!
And do you guys have a Youtube. I have been following the Astroneerteam for a while and just started to follow Satisfactory. Even with one or two vid about some 'behind the scenes' stuff would be awesome! Try to get a 'cheap' version out, give the game to some Youtubers and who knows... Might me a very nice 2019 for you guys!! Greets from Holland.
Hey madogy again,
Thanks for your positive feedback. We are glad you had fun playing Oddly Assorted and are thrilled about the interest in future updates. Sadly I have to disappoint you in this. As I replied to your bug report we are currently occupied by another project and will (most likely) come back to Oddly Assorted in the future (sometime 2019).
I like the game and im sure the finished product will be wonderful. I do have a few small problems. 1) to much repair! every 2 seconds i need to repare something. its annoying. Students are throwing parties every day. 2) the unlocking system through leases are confusing. Ill have enough corn to buy but it wont even give it as an option. 3)i had to turn on sound before i could get sound
Hi guys,
Glad I saved this link a while ago, let's jump in.
Allthough we gamers should be able to check all the keys and see what they do... I would like to see a page in the settings that sais Keys: W,S and scrollwheel: move up/down, A, D, <, > : Rotate map. E: rotate while building. Shift: place more items. Perhaps a hint to this could be implemented in the tuturial. <EDIT> This is all at the top of the gameplay page, raced right bye it to download the game. But if one makes this mistake.. who knows...
The double clicking to repair and destroy is pretty tedious, I would like to see a setting of 'one click action' or something like that... To bad if I destroy stuff without looking, my fault, should have been more carefull ;-)
As an older Tetris fan, love the challenge of placing the buildingblocks together.
The posts in here are a little old tho, any updates or plans for the future? Or working on other stuff?
GreatGame and I've only just started. :-) Cheers guys! (-;
Hey JakeSimmer,
I'm sorry for the late response. I haven't been on itch for a while..
I'm very glad that you like the game and that you have some good feedback for the game. We know that the game has its fair share of issues and a lot of missing features...
However, I'm very sorry to inform you that the game is not in development anymore... It was a student project after all and the idea of continuing development was never certain.. The team split up by now and I don't actually have contact to some of them anymore. We all work in seperate studios on other stuff now. I will change the page description to mention that as I honestly just forgot to do so when things changed
Thank you very much for the feedback though and I honestly wish I could continue working on the game but that's just not possible anytime in the forseeable future...
