The concept sounds great and the screen look awesome as well but the game keeps crashing a couple seconds after I start.

Idea seems cool, but I'm having trouble playing it (on OS X). When I bring a spool of fabric to the sewing machine and press X, I'm expecting to get back a bolt of cloth, but nothing happens at all.

I apologize for any crashes or errors on Linux/OSX, this is my first game releasing on non-windows platforms and it's hard to find the errors as I only can run them on VMs.

Please try redownloading the game now and tell me if it's working, I made a quick fix for that crash.

Wierd bug, could you try re-downloading and trying again? Are you on keyboard or controller? Try the other and tell me what is/isn't working please.

The game is not easy to play, but the idea is great.
Nice art, well done!

Very well made and nice concept. A lot of content for only 48 hours :)

I love the idea of the game! Playing alone is a bit stressful but still fun. Didn't hear any audio though and walking feels a bit weird, I keep getting stuck at the corners but everything else is fine! Keep up the good work and make your family proud! :P

Thanks all!

Anyone who recently downloaded PLEASE redownload. accidentally disabled all audio while trying to fix an OSX bug. There are sound effects and music!

I don't know how it works in Windows, but ext filesystems do distinguish upper- and lowercase. http://i.imgur.com/eZ1zKC6.png
It runs properly after moving „Data/Levels” to „data/levels”.

Had a crash when the game started on Linux. I took a view on the log, and it couldn't find the path to "data/levels/shenzhen.oep". Turns out your folder name are starting with an uppercase letter but your code is looking for lowercase ones. And because case sensitivity matters on Linux it can't find all those folders.

Great pixelart and the concept is interesting, but all I got to craft was hats. I rated N/A in audio. I guess you had forgotten to enable it back in the Linux build?

Taking hostname as player's name (and publishing it to the leaderboards) is disturbing.

Fun game ! I played it with a friend and we had a good time. It's challenging and need a lot of teamwork, but it's amusing. The only big problem is the crafting recipes, that must be learn by heart and that are sometimes complex. Good entry !

Crashed after opening on OSX :/

Love it, 20 minutes just went by, and had the desire to go keep going and try for number 1, maybe later, great job, the different mechanics for making different products. Honestly most fun I've had among games played so far :)
Is this intentional that the signatures for foot stuff don't come at some point so you would have to stock up for them??

and done :), number 1 for now :P

Thanks for the feedback!
@Starlight & @Testlab & @lekiy: I'm really sorry about Mac/Linux issues, this is my first try at building for those platsforms by using FNA (XNA port) but it's not without some hickups. I have tested both on linux and mac OS and it's weird that I didn't get that lowercase error. I'll fix it and see if I can look into the sound issues as well as the crash. I really hope I don't get a low rating because of these issues tho, I really would like to build to all platforms but if people rate it low because of it maybe it'd be better to skip them until I know they work well.

@Yvanor: You can press C (Y on controller) to view recipes while playing, but yeah you need to learn them to be fast.

@indrkl: Haha huge thanks! Yeah I find myself getting stuck in just sorting and completing recipes as well :)

@Starlight: Oh ah yes I know it's a bit intrusive to use hostname, but you are free to edit your name however you wish (just type while you have selected the name box), and it's saved to the registry for next startup. I think it's the easiest hassle free way to get people in the leaderboards and makes it more controller friendly. (Sorry!)

@indrkl: Haha I saw you beat my record, I'll get you eventually! :)

If anyone would like to change a submitted name I can change all the entries under that name in the highscore database to something new, just send me a message.

@indrkl: There is a logic system that defines what is spawned, you may definitely feel that you aren't getting what you want.. a good tactic is to try to always have atleast one of everything on the floor to pickup when you need it. No orders can through that are impossible to complete, considering what has been spawned before.

Wow, not bad!
we had a very similar idea, but we did not managed it to put a multiplayer and this much content in there. very impressive, especially for a compo. I with definitely play it again with some friends.

Strong entry! Played it alone, so everything was a bit too quick and difficult to get through but I can easily see myself playing it with friends and have fun with them.

Well played also on the art part, the game is pretty nice ;)

Very nice! The mini-games probably need the most work but overall it has a nice flow.

I got bored and quit after I got 10 hat orders in a row is that normal behaviour or a bug?

Great game! And a complete one! There is a bit of "Paper Please" political criticism : ).
Nice Jobs, and good graphics.
Controls could have been a bit smoother.
What software did you used ?

10 Hat orders in a row is a lot of bad luck.. there are a few guarenteed hat orders, then for each new order chance is added to get the more advanced orders..

I tryed the game also on linux to pass time on bus drive, but got a crash at start:

Yeah sorry about the linux crash (related to path of folder which some fixed manually). I just updated it to fix that crash, should work better now! Anyone got sound working on linux? I can't text it on VM.

@qFrct: I used C# & FNA which is a multiplatform rewrite of XNA.

Really nice entry.
First I felt guilty to have fun with this game, then things complicated, and I just felt stressed and like a worker that no one think about...
(maybe the spawn order is too hard, the last minutes, I just waited two elements that never came...)

So the new Linux build runs out of the box, and the audio is working. I see no issues now.

>I really hope I don't get a low rating because of these issues tho, I really would like to build to all platforms but if people rate it low because of it maybe it'd be better to skip them until I know they work well.

I rated it just like every other title on Ludum Dare. In fact, I appreciate that you're trying to release a semi-native port, since most creators don't bother and force me to use Wine (I would've had maybe like 5 coolness without Wine). Don't get discouraged by this not-100% successful port; you can always ask me to alpha test a future Linux build.

Thanks a lot Starlight and for confirming that it's working! I'll message you if I need any more testing. And just post here if you run into any more issues :)

*rerated the audio*

Wow, that's what I was thinking while playing! The game is super complex, very polished from all aspects and most importantly fun! Masterful work making all of this in just 48 hours, I take my hat off for you!

Fun game, loved the concept! It took a while to start. Really fun!

Challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YS39t7Fdzo0
