The overall game is rough (e.g. travel didn't seem to work?), but I gave you high marks for innovation due to the real-time trading floor. It's something I haven't seen before in a single player game (especially a text adventure).

Great! :D

People, rate the game based on the game. Not down rate because of not full 3D. :(

Great game, maybe a bit more action?

Awesome! I love the fact that its a text adventure. You don't find many of those these days.

I liked the idea of this game, but as soon as the messages hit the bottom of the screen I couldn't see any new offers.
For some reason, the scroll bar not only didn't track the updates, but also refused to allow me to scroll down...

Massive problem: on Firefox I can't scroll down the text, so I can only play around 30 seconds...
It's still enough to see how brillant this game is. I'm really frustrated.

pierrec, oh lame! sorry about that this is actually my first game-ish web-based project so some bugs were unavoidable .. learning how to structure javascript and esp. prototypes ..etc also ate up a lot of time and forced me to cut down on the scope as well sadly by the time I had my scene management and event handing system fully figured out there wasn't much time left to complete the traveling/harvesting systems or add some much needed style and art :/


but rest assured I'm building on this initial concept to make something really fun and engaging that you will get to try out
