I do however get the impression that you were intending on doing more.  As other's have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be anything negative in the game such as a time limit or resources being depleted.  It looks like you can just assign the peons to a resource and let the game run on it's own.  Specifically, I currently have 2049 peons mining the same location and over 100,000 resources.  I'm guessing this was just a matter not enough time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>What I am impressed about is how buttery smooth the game runs with 2000 peons; it's using almost no CPU resources, and the game doesn't shirt at selecting them all at once.  So for reasons unknown I decided to take this to an absurd level.  At once point I had over 100,000 peons on the screen (see https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/87314864\/TooMuchJand.png).  The only slowdown I saw was when I mass sacrificed them.  Finally, mass-sacrificing 120,000 peons in one shot took down your game.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I know this probably wasn't the intention of your game, but I did have a far too much fun trying to break it."},{"author_name":"Thepattybeast","author_uid":"18033","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 5:24am","epoch":1450070340,"text":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/UKQAI55.gifv\r<br\/>You should mention the you game requires &quot;Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015&quot;.\r<br\/>https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=48145"},{"author_name":"adamk33n3r","author_uid":"35043","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:14am","epoch":1450073340,"text":"So addicting for something so simple.

Jand is once again upon us, and we haven't even begun the sacrificial bonfire! If we don't finish it in time... I shudder to think of what horrors will befall our land...\"\r\n- Aeret Drazius, High Priest of Aramoor\r\n\r\nCelebration of Jand is a game that I made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 34. Due to a tie in the theme voting, there were two themes: \"Growing\" and \"Two button controls\". This game follows both of those themes.\r\n\r\nThe goal of the game is to command your peons, gather enough resources, and prepare for Jand by building the sacrificial bonfire. Trees are worth less resources than stone, but are more plentiful.\r\n\r\nUsing your mouse, you can left click to select individual peons, or do a box selection. Once you have some peons selected, you can right click on a resource to tell them to gather it.\r\n\r\nTo gain additional peons, you can sacrifice one peon and 100 resources by selecting a peon and right clicking on the bonfire.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/Dooskington\/Celebration-of-Jand\r\n\r\nIf you are running Windows, this game requires the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015!\r\nDownload it here: \r\nhttps:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=48145","title":"Celebration Of Jand"}
