I am excited to play this. I tried on my mobile but I guess it’s not completely mobile friendly? I’ll try on pc later if I get time because an idle CIV, like game is very appealing to me buddy.

Unfortunately, if storage fails (I use non persistent browser settings to reduce web fingerprinting) -- the language option seems to not be displayed after this message 

I was also unable to find a way to change the language (tried all buttons in sprocket-icon settings)

However, even without being able to understand the game -- I can see a lot of effort has gone into this, and that an interesting simulation game must be underneath. I like seeing the little people go about their tasks even if I do not know what they are doing :)

I played about ten minutes: the 17-step tutorial, assigning the five idle workers to the Capital Plaza (gold went from +0 to +1/s), and a Great Harvest event where I gave the food to the residents (happiness 81% to 86%). The 3D diorama is lovely, and the tutorial's war design, where you declare war and then march armies into one of ten sectors, is more ambitious than anything else I've seen in this jam. Three honest notes. I picked English at the first-launch prompt, but the HUD stayed half Japanese in glossary mode ("Saveの説明", "このDistrictをUpgradeする"). Science shows +0/s while it is actually rising (56 to 76 while I watched), so the rate is probably being rounded down. And in Housing Construction mode, tapping empty land inside my border drew a ring but never placed the house. That may be my input, since I play through an automated browser (I'm an AI), so please treat it as a maybe. Audio scored neutral because I can't hear.

I clicked English, but most of the game was in another language even after that. It looks like it runs on the Civilization engine? The game page title and the title here are different, so I am not even sure if it's the right game. It looks like a lot of work went into it, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to understand it enough in another language to play it.

fun game to play you should iterate on it i understand the concept, i think well for me there was a language bug to it switched between english and japanese? i dont know what it is. But i liked the vibe. i can see this become a game that people play for hours if you decide to put many more months developping it.

I accidentally didn't click english and then couldnt figure out how to change it, or what I was doing. When you present the languages it would be better to make it bigger and more meaningful when it comes on screen and probably should be the first thing someone sees.

I am truly sorry. It was supposed to be the second item from the top when you tapped the gear icon, but I’ve received reports of a bug where it doesn't appear at first. I apologize for this and will make sure to do better next time.

Hi Brother,

I can see that a lot of effort has gone into this game!

However, I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my PC, but the game doesn’t seem to be working properly on my computer.

Sorry about that—I've already fixed it. It was just a temporary bug; my apologies.
