Hey there, I love the concept but I'm having trouble understanding how to play so far. I've built roads and houses, shopping, and industry, but my population remains at zero and I'm not earning any income. I do have roads extending to the border, although the cursor can go beyond the screen (not sure if that matters or not).
sorry this is a weird bug with the game's population that happens often. I should revisit it at somepoint just to make it playable but this probably wont be anytime soon
The game seems cool, just a few suggestions. I'm not fully understanding of pico-8, so I dont know its limitations, but you could make it so the player cannot build of move outside of the viewable grid, and maybe a delete function. Otherwiste I like the graphics of the game and the 8 bit music. Nice job.
I was thinking about add those things but I just wanted to get this project out of the way so I can start some uni project but I might add those features and more in the future maybe some meat to the gameplay its just a tech demo right now.
