Really like the idea of a village sim for the jam. I know you said you didn't quite get as far as you would like for the ideas but I like even with the framework you can get little bits of stories between the villagers. I think the daily income could've used more explaining though I couldn't quite figure out if that was tied to villager happiness or not, but there's room there for like keep your woodcutters happy because you used up all your wood the previous day.

Thanks for the feedback! The daily income thing definitely could use explaining, and it actually is tied to the villager happiness! If their happiness gets too low they stop producing anything, and if high enough they produce more. I definitely do intend on adding some kind of indicator for when their production changes based on their happiness in the post-jam version! Glad you liked the idea, I definitely continue to expand on it in the future!
