But after I bought all money in sheeps and they do never grow the pelt again, I've decided to stop. So I felt that the game was promising, despite a bit of frustration on the commands on the start, until passed 5 minutes and I couldn't buy any sheeps nor cut their pelt. I feel that the game can be more fast, rushing the player to make every thing work.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Beebo Studios","author_uid":"1062033","time":"2017-12-05T10:44:27Z","epoch":1512470667,"modified":1512470667,"text":"Style and ambiente are very great and sounds fit nicely.

Feeling relax during the game time.\n\nIf there are some hints for what I am clicking on \/ the farmers can directly pick up a sheep by one clicking, that will be more comfortable to play with.     \nSeems the sheep can't grow their wool back? That will be sad.     \nBTW nice name of your game, sounds like a beautiful poem :D\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nopogo","author_uid":"1001313","time":"2017-12-05T15:28:36Z","epoch":1512487716,"modified":1512487716,"text":"Thanks for the feedback everyone :), I've fixed the regrowing of wool bug. Sadly there wasn't really time to add more agency to the game. The idea was to have maintenance costs on your farm so the goal would become to make enough money to pay your bills by the end of each season. But due to time constraints that had to be cut from development.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Don Fouts","author_uid":"1038102","time":"2017-12-05T18:28:23Z","epoch":1512498503,"modified":1512498503,"text":"I like the idea of the game, however with now way to lose the game moves it away from the theme a little bit. I didn't see any downfalls for having too many farmers or sheep. Would be neat if the sheep could walk off the ledge, it would make having too many of them hard!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nopogo","author_uid":"1001313","time":"2017-12-06T16:26:51Z","epoch":1512577611,"modified":1512577611,"text":"The sheep can walk over the ledge though :) Whats missing right now is an incentive to actually make money.
