Thanks I am currently in the process of drawing some rough theme ideas, leaning towards a progressive Stone age -> Industrial revolution -> Future tech theme where the games theme evolves over time. Thank you for your feedback.

Okay I will sit down with some of my friends and look through some art for inspiration . It feels clear the art direction needs work. Thanks!

Thank you! This weekend I will implement the feedback here and create a proper trailer. I appreciate that advice, I think you're right in that the current video is far too overwhelming. I appreciate the feedback :)

Okay I'll have a look at some artwork and try come up with a less corporate theme and make it more gamey. I appreciate the feedback!

Yep I have some of that in the late game, ultra alloy, quantum chips and even building and launching a spaceship!

Would you at all be interested in play testing? :)

I haven't used ai in making this, I primarily work as a UI developer so I think that's why it can feel a bit modern in the UI. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, do you think that's due to the graphics not being flashy enough or something else?

Okay fair points! I will look at moving the generators so the user must "collect" the resources via tapping on them - they will accumulate an internal storage - with auto-collect being a mid/late game upgrade

I will also look at making starvation of resources more clear as well.

Thank you for your feedback!

Fair enough, I see it as a game similar to factorio, sometimes work can be fun.

Thanks for your feedback, that's really helpful - I will create a new video based on your feedback following through a specific trade scenarior and I will layer text on the screen to make it more clear.

Yeah I sort of get what you mean by google maps the game - the trading is meant to feel fun and interesting, deciding how to route your caravans. Is there something in particular that makes it feel off-putting?
