Don't feel too bad about slipping, it happens to us all.\n\nInterface is missing some pretty big QOL features, like letting the user know when construction or research it done. Speaking of research, it seems Furryfication never completes, or it're repeatable. Not sure... That or I can't research and build at the same time?\n\nThe idea is great, and there's clearly some good stuff going on. I'd suggest taking a day or two off, and coming back over the weekend to give the UI a pass on a post-compo version. It's a fun little idea and I think it's worth bringing to fruition; especially when it's so close to being great.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Aterlamia","author_uid":"1012477","time":"2018-08-14T05:24:55Z","epoch":1534224295,"modified":1534224295,"text":"@fireslash Thanks for the feedback. Furrification and soylent research are both repeatable. because one of them adds some risk and the other is cheap and has a low impact. Also if it did not broke you do get notified research is done in the left panel. \n\nYou should see a red exclamation mark if a research or build finished, also when a planet was colonized. But I wanted to create a log kind of screen as well unfortunately not enough time. And adding a notification sound probably would have been wise ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"2games2easy","author_uid":"1026408","time":"2018-08-14T08:39:10Z","epoch":1534235950,"modified":1534235950,"text":"I was really troubling with the goal of this game.

Possibly too big.\n\nInformation was hard generally to get to, and I couldn't gauge how I was doing overall. At one point there was either a defeat or victory screen, but I was pressing the **turn** button rapidly to skip past my X months of production and accidentally clicked it away. \n\n\nOne thing that felt convoluted for example was getting to the build menu on a planet. Click (1) on the planet on the left side of the screen, click (2) on the planet itself (possibly having to zoom closer first, when zoomed out), click (3) on enter, click (4) on Build. That's a lot of navigation just to see how progress is going.\n\nI do dig the concept, and I enjoyed seeing the planets' orbits you implemented. All in all, this game probably needed to be part of a one or two week jam to get to fruition.\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Aterlamia","author_uid":"1012477","time":"2018-08-14T20:13:59Z","epoch":1534277639,"modified":1534277639,"text":"@blueblu thanks for the feedback, i tried make it as easy as possible but some tooltips \/tutorial would have helped i agree\n@jk-studio Yes you are right and is actually the reason why i almost not submitted it but since i worked on it the whole jam i posted it anyway\n@flaterectomy yes my biggest enemy overscoping but you raise a good point that ux is not great and needs too much clicking, i honestly had not thought about that yet but then again i also had no more time left.

There is a lot of mechanics, the game feels pretty packed with stuff to do. I like the general idea of the game and how you later mange couple of planet and try to build up the economy on each planet. I like the presentation, watching the planets flying is pretty neat.
