This was pretty clever. I think a real game could come with this. Short term changes I would make would be to stick the name and number of the thing next to the actual buildings. Also, when something is going wrong (like, not enough water?) then it seems like the production displays (win/loss) just become 0, but I feel like something else should happen?

I think this could make a great browser incremental style game!

I get the following error when trying to run the game for the second time :(

λ java -jar GameOffJam-1.0.0.jar
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to load DataAPI.BuildData(buildingType=SERVICES, level=1, buildingState=GOOD, serviceType=WATER, maxPopulation=0, happiness=0, entities=[])

You can download the v1.0.1, it should be fixed now ^^

Also I don't really understand the controls / goal of the game, is there any instructions anywhere ?
