Hi, thanks for the hint. If I could offer a suggestion, I feel that the puzzles and events should make up a series of hints that allow the player to figure out this last puzzle. This game is addicting, but it seems like just a random series of events, with no purpose. If each hint gave the player a clue to either the next puzzle or to the final puzzle, this game would be strategic, and a mind bender. Right now, it just seems like a game that takes a lot of time to allow certain random events to happen. It needs to be more like the game "Myst".

I have not yet solved the 12th puzzle, but I have solved puzzles 1 - 11. Instead of hints that lead to solving the 12th puzzle, a player just has to randomly play and hope to get the right combination.

Also, when I saw "puzzles" to figure out in the demo, I thought there were actual puzzles to be solved, which drew me to it. Only to find out, that most of the puzzles are solved automatically. For example, I didn't do anything, and the huts got built, and the GC was born and moved the boulder.

I must admit that I am disappointed in this game because this game cost $20, and there is no thinking or solving required. It is basically a cool graphics game with no central theme or puzzles.

I don't mean to be critical, just honest. I look forward to seeing your game improve.

These are good suggestions. The idea of puzzle progression was suggested by several testers, and I think that's a good idea. The update to the game will, at a minimum contain clues for that last puzzle, as well as a way to train builders throughout the game, in addition to bug fixes. It will be interesting to see how the game improves for the update, which will be available at no charge to people who bought V1.0 of Village Sim.

I think that under the detail screen the arrows should be bigger and the left arrow on the left side, and the right on the right. Also the directional pad should be used for moving about the screen. Finally I think that there should be a full screen option for T3 and T5 palms. Maybe should also be able discover more of the island as the game progresses.

I think that new versions/ updates should be able to just add on to your game so you don't have to start over.
