I am now officially spending more time playing than working. Maybe this is a good sign, since I do in fact have something to play, but I feel like I ought to be spending this time better. I am finding and fixing bugs, which is nice — but the bugs are really annoying me, because every time I fix one I have to start my game over.

Prices now change intermittenly, and random events (mostly dealing with the actions of your redneck brother) occur every 1-3 game days. I still need some sort of ratings screen for when you retire (and, probably, a better way to retire other than pressing ESC) so that it feels like you’re achieving something. Otherwise, it really is just playing around in a big sandbox with a lousy economy.

My music is really starting to get on my nerves, too. I’m not sure if making more is the solution, though. I mean, I made this stuff, and it’s really starting to irk me. I think I just fundamentally hate the artist.

Also, I am so not making a business sim for the next LD. Maybe a puzzle game, or something arcade-y. Nothing with this many internal mechanics, that’s for sure.
