Hello everyone, my thoughts about the game so far. Last week I didn't really play much because it was honestly a bit boring. ATer mondays update it became more interes8ng. I played every day a few hours and I'm at level 17 now. At first you can play constantly, but aTer a few levels the wai8ng 8mes are a bit long in my opinion. It's like I'm staring at the game thinking: what can I do now when wai8ng for my ships to return, wai8ng for the sawmill (17 minutes I think?) to produce wood, wai8ng for my fishers (10 minutes).. I'm playing TS much too so that keeps me busy while wai8ng, but new players that don't play TS will maybe get bored fast. But maybe that's just the way a game like this is -‐ wai8ng 8mes. Also I realise the game is just in it's trial right now, so I'll have to take the wai8ng 8mes for granted. -‐ I'm sure it will get be]er with every update. A few things that maybe have been said before by other people, but I felt like I wanted to say: -‐Graphics could be be]er. I'm not saying it's bad, but some things looks a bit 'cheap' (don't know what other word I could use to explain that..sorry) right now. -‐XP gain should be be]er balanced. For example: For upgrading my workshop to level 6 I have to spend 1500 gold, 1400 wood and 270 stone. For upgrading my House to level 4 I have to spend 700 gold, 800 wood and 200 stone. For both upgrades I receive 300 XP, but have to spend much more materials on the workshop than on the House. -‐A cancel bu]on (2-‐5 minutes) on sending ships should be great. -‐A warning when you are about to spend gems. One click too fast and your gems are gone. -‐In a further state of the game, when we have maybe 20 or more ships, a overview screen like the Local/IT/Depot slots on TS, just to see what ships I've all got, would be great. Also being able to see how long it takes for the ship to come back will be good. -‐Last week fishing was too hard -‐ it's too easy now. I have 28.000 fish now, with not that much playhours. I'm sure if I spend a lot of hours I will get 100.000 fish with no problem. Maybe rebalance that again. -‐The rainforest is great for overnight sending. Send your boats away for 8 hours, and gain a lot of wood when waking up. One bug I've experienced: At the bo]em leT side of the screen, the bu]on above the buildings bu]on, I keep seeing a red "1" at the ships bu]on, but I don't have any (new) ships to buy. Overall I'm enthusiast about this game. I realise it's just the second week we're playing, so I think we can expect more extensions with 8me. I'm sure I will keep playing! smile emo8con This is my first 8me that I'm tes8ng a game, so I'm a bit unsure what I go]a say about the game. But I've tried my best! wink emo8con smile emo8con If you have any ques8ons, please just ask.
