But then it would be neat if some of the devs liked the concept enough to keep doing stuff with it. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sometimes it's a &quot;quick fix&quot;. I don't think that's here this time. I think this is a fun concept, because it's the &quot;build game&quot; in reverse. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>You've got a tremendous number of things to pick. But they don't really seem to do anything. You could make a 2.0 version if you tied them all together with something like 7 stats of the island\/citizens, and then gave the options prices, specs, and damages. Then you have running readouts as the user picks his weapons! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>By the way,\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The DonationCoder LudumDare 32 April 2015 thread is here: \r<br\/>http:\/\/www.donationcoder.com\/forum\/index.php?topic=40573.0\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It happens to be their 10th anniversary!
