Right. It is a fun game with good potential. But i wanna give proper feedback
The trading system: It is is fun. But needing to match the point score before trading is a slog. Especially trying to get a job in the early game. Especially since the net result is that you can never gain points from a trade.
Moving the requirement to half points could be better for balance. Low trade chance but still possible. So you can gain points
That or make it so charisma influences your trade chances and thresholds.
Beginning: The beginning is a slog. Especially with lack of explanations or tutorials it can take ou 2 weeks to get a first skill (speaking from experience) A guide or similiar explanation section would help a lot
The world: The world has a great beginning. There are a lot of locations but they feel empty. I’d reccomend focusing on character conversations
The shady alley: The shady alley is basically always a net loss. With over 100 different shady trades i only got about 10 positive changes. which were like +3 on avg.
Overall i am interested where this goes too. Keep up the good work
