NOTES FROM DEVELOPER: Disclaimer: This is NOT for the competition. I had some stuff pop up this weekend so 100% honesty I started on this Thursday night because I couldn't do the other stuff. I still wanted to share this with you all.

If you want to follow along the progress I have been streaming some of it on Youtube on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/schematical

Interesting idea, could have some potential. Sadly I don't really know what to do, also sometimes only half of the group do what I assigned them to, sometimes even noone. Too bad :(

It was very hard for me to understand the mechanics and I suggest you try to include less text next time and make the mechanics a bit simpler. When I assigned a person to explore a building they just wandered about. Also the zooming with the scroll button is a bit broken. Despite all this it was cool to see a browser game because I have some experience with web developing and thought it would be very hard to make a game like this that can compete/surpass other games made with game engines.

You have gone for something that'll need a lot of time before reaching the point of being fun to play.

You are going the correct way though, it will just need a lot more time. I see that you rushed the features and deliberately left apart the visual feedback. It's understandable given your scope, but you should try to focus on the feedback aspect way more, players often need to be spoon-fed ^_^

Good luck with the next steps of your project, and keep having fun doing it :)

Wow, everyone that gave feedback I am incredibly grateful. I was afraid this feel through the cracks. Thank you so much for taking the time to even glance at the game much less leave detailed feedback. You guys are amazing!

Nice idea but it seems to be too broken. I can't really figure out how it's supposed to work, what I'm supposed to do since the characters hardly react to assignment. At on point I lost all visuals and I only could see dialog windows in top left corner partially hidden behind the box. It was really confusing.
