Oh dear... Do [b]not[b] buy this. Hard Work is really early access. Really [i]really[/i] early. We're talking pre-pre-alpha. I'm confused about what you're looking to get from an early access release, ZarioSide. There's an absolute minimum amount of content, and the controls and UI fight you every step of the way. (Why are camera controls locked when you have the build menu open??). The next steps of development are obvious, so you can't be looking for feedback. Nothing here (in-game and dev log) demonstrates any intention bringing this game up to a playable state in the future... So you can't be trying to generate funds for future development. I hate to be so critical, but it feels like you're really not that interested in creating a decent product. So I can't shake this feeling that you're more interested in [b]getting money[/b] than you are in game development. I really wish you the best of luck, and I certainly don't want to disuade you. I desperately hope I'm wrong. Please prove me wrong.

Abandoned, concept holds some promise but there just isn't anything here to play as is, and it doesn't seem there ever will be.

I like the concept and the feel of the game. Setting up and running a factory to build products and controlling every aspect of production is pretty nifty. A list of bugs and observations I've found. - Item interaction has some bugs. - Employees get stuck on a pallet or a whole pallet of goods gets buggy and any employee that tries to interact with it gets stuck. - After wrapping a pallet of finished product, its easy to unwrap it when trying to load it into the truck and it has to rewrapped. - Sometimes employees get stuck on each other at shift change at the time clock. - Raw materials used for making products have no pricing that I've seen and completed products don't either, it's hard to figure out a business plan without pricing. - There needs to be more detail with the "quests" that come up to build a certain amount of products in a specified time period and an actual time for the time period rather than a number. - There's also a burglar that shows up at 2am every morning and will steal something. Kind of annoying. Still figuring out about the walls that can be built, but there are no doors that can be built for building entry, so I wonder if employees can get it w…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
