I solved it in one life!
Some pop-ups are partially off the screen.
I wish X would close the building interaction too so I don’t have to use the mouse. Maybe C to craft (again so I don’t have to use the mouse).
Alright, here is what I’m thinking about… One of my favorite games (if not my favorite) of all times is War Craft II. So I’m thinking about this kind of multiplayer RTS like War Craft II. Here is the difference, there is more than just Gold and Wood resources, maybe there is 20 different resources. The resources are very sparse and if you get wood you can build a fence around the land with the resource. Building this fence will prevent other players from being able to get this resource (unless they trade with the player that has it). Because there are many different resources this will promote trade where it is necessary. Maybe implement a taxation system that all the players can vote on every so often (this way the have nots can gang up on the haves). Seems kind of ambitious for a short Jam but I think I can get some of the mechanics going with programmer graphics.
I was thinking about Monopoly and ideas for the jam. In Monopoly there is only one winner. If you adjusted the rules so that everybody wins and it’s not a zero sum game then the game goes on forever. This seems great in real life but it might not make a great game. Some ideas I had were to change the metric of success, that is to say don’t use dollars as your success metric. Because we measure dollars we optimize for dollars in this creates the zero sum game. One idea I had would be to create some agents that have a happiness between 0 and 1. The sum of the happiness of all the agents becomes your score. So if there’s one agent that has all the money they’re very happy and they have a happiness score of one while everybody else has a happiness score of zero for a total score of one. But if you could get all the agents to be a little happy say .5 then you would have a higher score than someone who just has a monopoly.

According to this post: https://itch.io/t/380227/im-a-contributor-on-a-game-but-it-doesnt-show-on-my-pro...
There should be an option in the Theme Editor to show a hidden game that you contributed on, but I don't see it. Has this feature been moved or removed?

Brilliant play though. Thanks you so much for playing our game, it was very insightful being able to hear your thoughts as you experienced the game for the first time. You discovered some bugs (the boy is not supposed to go the orange gate on the training level). And you missed some other bugs that would have helped you get. We also know that the immersive training it not the greatest. If you want some guests on your stream some time someone can walk you thought the issues and thoughts behind the game.
Yeah, thanks, I'm sure we will be showing it off at the next LA Indie Dev Meetup, since three of us from the this meetup were on the team. I'm not sure if getting stuck on the walls is a feature or bug. There are other bug-ish things like this as well including what we like to call the Fox elevator.
What are the hours each day and address of event location?
