Thank you for checking out the game and leaving an honest feedback!
You gave very fair points. Crowds leaving the player after sun-down was intentional and it can feel betraying if you have just used-up your Fame and they just left suddenly. I'll make sure to communicate it better next time. Maybe not making the gathered leave will be better, I'll try it out in the next prototype.
Oops, I didn't mean for players to think that picking up trash is the main way to gain Fame for Rallying up crowd. My intent is for gaining Fame is by picking up tokens that are generated by establishments. I will make sure to emphasize this more in the on-boarding for future builds.
I do agree that the cafe community screen artwork definitely need serious re-work :D Hopefully it conveyed enough idea visually that you players can improve the cafe as you interact more with it. But it seems the iteration doesn't have compelling reasons for players to visit yet, huh. Will design on it more. So thanks for your comment.
I truly appreciate your word of encouragement and hopefully the project would catch your attention some time in the future when it's in a better state!
Will check out your submission and comment in a bit!
Cheers!
