Really nice art style and an enjoyable building w\/ resources system. Some things such as what each building does are hard to understand and that maybe why my workers keep leaving... Very interesting gameplay, im determined to find out whats under the castle! Perhaps just some simple text that pops up when you hover over buttons telling you about the building and its resource costs wouldve been helpful. Other than that its fun game with an interesting goal!"},{"author_name":"tomdeal","author_uid":"35919","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 2:42pm","epoch":1472481420,"text":"Really cool art style and a great experience.

If they don't they will leave, breaking their room which will use resources to fix.\r\n\r\nBuild rooms to attract new workers depending on that room:\r\n-Builders build new rooms and tiles as well as repair rooms from where workers have gone.\r\n-Miners mine stone and metal to build with\r\n-Foresters will produce wood and push back the forest to allow for more farms\r\n-Farms produce food \r\n\r\nRooms can only be built if the background part of the castle has been build first.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to dig down to find a hidden artefact, upon which you will complete the game. Finding the artefact will require digging tunnels off the main stair case.\r\n\r\nIf a room which was built goes transparent, the worker has gone, this is either because you don't have any food, or because all the beds where being used.\r\n\r\nIf you manage to win, please mention it in your comment, will be interesting to see you gets the reference.\r\n\r\nThere have been some fixes made along with a display for what buttons are.\r\nThis doesn't completely fix the builders, and having multiple builders can still make all builder get stuck, but they are a bit better.
