I think that changing engines and adding more gameplay can be a good idea as long as the characterization and xplayer content won't suffer. Part of the reason why I kept up with this game despite the simplistic gameplay is because I genuinely loved interacting with the characters you've made.
There's also the issue of how long development will take in the pursuit of expanding the management aspect of the game, so perhaps updating the management bit by bit while also adding more events and interactions depending on the management goals met (or not) can be good?
I'm interested to see what direction you'll be taking this.
what's sad here is that you read my comment and thought that I "can't dream of something different and better" and that you didn't seem to understand the point of my comment.
it's nice that you can "think of something different and better" but can you actually talk about that further than this abstract idea of "different and better"?
you, yourself, are a part of society... if a group of people were to focus their time on other pursuits, the other group (ones not reappropriating time) would have to work to sustain themselves and the group not working (which would be unfair)
employment is not the problem, it is merely the tool used to assign value to people's effort
the ones assigning that value are the real masterminds...
you may revel in your "strategic indifference" as much as you want, but the fact is it offers no solutions to the problems we face...
if you are entitled to a living by society's capacity to provide, then you, yourself, should be providing by virtue of being part of society, otherwise you would be cleaving the people in half; one half who makes effort, and one half that doesn't
the question, then, would be: who decides who goes to which half?
(or would you claim to not be a part of society?)
you cannot live without expending effort to do so... basic necessities do not rain down from the skies
everyone has a role to play in this complex, convoluted system...
the values assigned to our work is biased, skewed...
a small portion of humanity benefits the most from the larger part's toil
but unemployment doesn't exactly help now, does it?
the ones in power working behind the scene should be the target of our unrest, not this shabby system that is only a tool at its most primitive form
retreat to your forests if you want, live a nomadic life, sustain yourself on the bare minimum but know that you STILL have to expend effort to live
and if you want to no part in society's scheme, then don't expect it to sustain you either...
... I did not expect to love this as much as I did... I was set on trying it out because the "summary" intrigued me. But I ended up absolutely LOVING IT! I haven't even met the whole cast of characters and I am already hooked! There's just something about his game... The flow? The narrative? The plot maybe? Idk but I am DEFINITELY following this through to the end. Also, the chapters I've read so far have been really engaging. I couldn't wait to find out what was next every time I reached the end of a chapter. Looking forward to seeing more! You did great!
