I had so much fun in this game, I really like the visuals, I had a tough time when obsidian was requested.. One thing to point out is that giving all the resources isn't really necessary (you can get away with using them at the beginning to get extra workers or the corn farm ready) as long as you don't run out of time.. Or Was it intentional to prevent the player from getting too much time? Anyways it was pretty confusing when I just started playing to differentiate between the 2 countdowns (the one for drought, and the one above the pyramid for dooms day I think), but the more I play the clearer it gets. Good job!

Spot on! Handing over resources immediately isn't necessary, the game is built around that exact tension of managing your focus and time. Once you look past the chaos, you realize you don't actually need a massive surplus of resources, and you can use your time to build your setup instead of instantly catering to the pyramid's demands. You completely cracked the secret, great job! Thanks for playing!
