Thanks for the review! Re sound in particular,  Yazorius our sound artist made some *amazing* sound effects,  but I sadly ran out of time to implement them for clicks. Looking forward to adding them as I refine them game. For twine, adding onclick events requires some javascript scripting, for anyone else developing in twine looking for quick info on how to do that!

Thank you! It seemed like the right choice to lean in to. I'm new to coding but I've been making websites since I was a teen for fun, so it let me use my strengths which was important for that short time frame!

I think the responsiveness and cross-platform functionality also makes webdev really appealing for broad releases and I'm excited to experiment more with making games using it! 

I think it's important to design around what you are working with, which is why the game is point and click - designing the game around an interaction mechanic like that (versus seeing it as a limitation) is, imo,  key to making a good flow through the game loops. I think webdev in general works with that concept: games that are built with the knowledge of their architecture can tailor the gameplay to mitigate or enhance the limitations of that engine. For example,  a webdev based game can highlight clicking through art and page reloads through things like (clumsily coded) additional displays, like of random memories. 

I'll rate games tomorrow, when everyone has had a chance to add devlogs :)

Great bug,  thanks for letting me know! :) End condition is based on 0 resources all around but i also added in a quick check for low resources to block a user from allocating them if they had none  - result is your edge case, thank you so much!!!!

Thank you so much for the review! Please feel free to share any other feedback or confusing moments you had. This is very useful to me! :)

Re the death: my next big steps are to refine the memory selections and balance the gameplay - by the time the player is out of resources, I want the gameplay experience to feel like it's at a natural end.  The experience I want to eventually tell is about how we choose which stories to tell for ourselves. The replayability aspect is key - if you keep picking the sad memories, what does that mean?

 I want to make it so the tension lies in staying alive as long as you can to create a richer life story - do you have any thoughts on ways to enhance that? 

My next step is to improve the templates a lot more so they don't sound like creepy androids and experimenting with having memories respond to player choices. Eg someone picking certain moods enough times  will get a rabbithole of memories in that mood.
