Build Town by TeamMJZ
Growing in more ways than one, Build Town is a great way to 'let loose'and be the God for once. Grow your population of Beings and keep them alive by increasing their resources (food, wood) and explore the land.
WASD = Camera movement
Left-Click-Hold = Selection Drag box (To select more Beings)
Left-Click = Individual Being selection
Right-Click = Allocation of Beings
Scroll-Up = Zoom Out
Scroll-Down = Zoom In
*Recommended Size - 1920x1080
*Web link is prone to bugs and beetles
*HINT - Hover mouse over player in menu for a greeting ;)
We will add an extra link to the game with the fixed bugs you put in the comments along side the main link!

I had issues placing houses because they collided with farms, despite being quite far away. Every other person I spawned then assigned glitched out and ran sideways out of my view. The graphic for farms was for some reason a fireplace, which was actually a fireplace in the tutorial.
I hope that helps to debug some of those issues. I'd have also loved to have the camera move faster and zoom out further.
Just a small heads up: whenever I right clicked in the Web player, the context menu would show up. This gets really annoying real fast. I don't know if you can disable this in Unity, but I'd imagine you can (most other Unity web games don't have this - especially not when they use the right mouse button for something in the game)
+ Cool ambient music.
- Not so good graphics.
- Game needs more polish (maybe post-Compo version?)

However my persons kept bugging at the farm entrance (they could bring the food back to barn but going back to farm they started to walk against the fence)
Music was +++
Or a WebGl build if this works for you, but there is no Unity web player plugin for linux.
Feedback:
Camera movement faster (Maybe you could have it move at different speeds at different heights and/or have a button that while holding makes it go faster, or just generally faster).
The game doesn't seem well balance in terms of getting resources (Again probably just because of your time limit)
Environment was nice, but I had no reason to explore it, especially not with a character.
Tutorial wasn't a tutorial? IDK what it's supposed to do, but it was exactly the same as the main game, except different goals and area.
Like I said good for 72 hour game jam, if you continue working on it good luck :)
It took me a while to figure out you needed to click the characters feet to select them.
We believe it suits growth by the population growing :)
But I guess it needs some work. Farms did not really work for me because of pathfinding problems. Pacing could be improved and some reason to explore would be nice.
Nice work though, the music choice is great and it has a really nice relaxing mood to it that kept me playing for around 10 mins or so.
I'd remove the tutorial btw, as it doesn't teach much and is just a faster ending version of the main game (at least from what I could see). I had to kill the app to leave the tutorial and play the main game, so an ESC key would be cool :)
For me it's looked an Age of Empire-like strategy game with survival elements without war. I loved the concept but some bug always caused me trouble to navigate and stay alive with the habitants. The user interface is simple and the graphic elements are not informative enough. I feel the music is really close to Banished.
