Sorry about that!\n\n@lenny-sirivong You're absolutely right: \"the do nothing strat is the best way to enjoy this game.\" If I expanded on the concept it would just be procedurally generated towns and scenery. No more hot dogs. B)\n\n@limered Yeah, no goals or penalties are this game's fatal flaw. The sacrifice is that you have to destroy some towns in order to give other towns hot dogs, but when you can't 'lose' the game... you're right, it doesn't feel like a sacrifice at all. Oh well.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"uvwar","author_uid":"1002587","time":"2018-12-05T23:44:38Z","epoch":1544053478,"modified":1544053478,"text":"You do know this is a GAME Jam, right? :bub:\nI love generated names, so keep making more of that please!
