Hey, I saw your post on Facebook and tried out the game. Since I’m a big fan of this genre, I’m giving you my feedback from a pure player's point of view: I felt a bit lost. As soon as I started, the amount of buttons and concepts was overwhelming.
I understand the general theme, but I lack a 'starting point.' I don't know where to start, what the UI does, or the logic behind the mechanics (like why I should produce certain items or influence politicians). The goal of buying 50% of shares is clear, but the path to get there isn't. I really want to try everything, but the learning curve felt too steep right away.
I'll give more in-depth feedback once I have more time. Even if you aren't ready for a tutorial yet, I’d suggest thinking about 'onboarding' now to avoid technical debt or major changes later on. Hope this helps!
That seems to be most people's experience so far. The next update (0.0.7.0) will include a formal tutorial. In the mean time, if you need to give yourself some breathing room, you can build some wind or solar power plants to increase your income. (Just be careful as there are upper limits to what the governments will buy from you.)
Also, if you check out the contracts>objectives menu, that will give you some rewards for exploring the UI, and building.
Very in-depth Godot build!, came across this while I was looking for Godot resources. Any chance you will be publishing the code or Github repo for learning?
Currently, I don't have any plans for that. Code is not my strongsuit, so I'm a bit self conscious for people to see it. However, if there was interest in a specific aspect of my game, I wouldn't be opposed to making a tutorial. Something along the lines of "A Novice's guide to [blank] in Godot". Not sure there would be much audience for that.

Would love to have this as Early Access in Steam with some price so that I could play this on Linux!
A Steam release is my goal.

Do you have a discord? Mine is n8thegreat, I'd love to talk to you some more in some specific problems I'm having that I'm sure you've implemented.
Interesting economy game, quite deep.
Thank you!
Looks cool! Will there be a linux version too? Is this made with godot as well?
This is made in Godot 4.3. I don't have any current plans for release for linux.
Cool about godot! If you change your mind and hit that export button and want a tester, :wave: :)
Woah man; this is really cool! I really enjoy the concept and depth of the mechanics! Nice job!
Thank you very much, I am glad you like it!
