YOu need to research the last upgrade first and then progressively all structure updates - as earthquakes shift anyways every round, both the magnitude and position is nice to know but only cost research points.\n\nThe bank with a +10% gain in money, but weak structure, costs too much to repair and the universit yis rathe rpointless, as after about 30 round sther eis nothing left to research.\n\n\nTha tbeing said it's a lovely idea and I enjoyed the whole game. Howeve rI'd rather like to have science calculate don overall inhabitants and rebalance the villas down to less inhabitants and the big (instable blocks) to a lot more inhabitants.\nTHer ealso should be a way to spend mor escience later on.\n\nI understand that it's a quickly developed gamejam game, and that everybody has to do as much as time allows, but if you consider further developing this, the feedback mainly helps.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":740363,"author_name":"kernon","author_uid":"kernon","epoch":1633535643,"text":"You seem to have opted out from the audio ratings but I wanted to make sure I mentioned how much I enjoyed the explosion sound when a building crumbles down.  :) Fun little title!

Also, I found a little bug : if you're using the repair tool, clicking on a fully repaired building still cost money, at the end of the game I wanted to just have a good looking screenshot with every building repaired and I just randomly moved the mouse while spamming left click until I realized that this was wasting most of my money !

I can't believe you did all of this in such a short time. The scope is huge and it's so polished. I liked the management of resources and seemingly interesting choices. The research does have a big impact on your understanding of the game and mechanics and changes the way you play which is really cool. As you know it's a little bit on the easy side.
