What an inspiring game to produce during a jam. Thanks both for recording the process of making it and for the fun few hours I spent playing it!

Glad you got so much out of the game! Thanks for playing :)

conveyors are useless they could be replaced by beamers

"Cheap thing is useless, it could be upgraded by much more expensive thing!" :)

Maybe I'm dumb but, I cant leave a sandbox :<

You just have the refresh the page. The jam time didn't allow me to make any sort of window to exit to menu.

Really cool game. Always amazed how quick these can be made to such good quality.

I saw in another comment you probably won't update. A suggestion perhaps for future games, the hover-over details would be easier to read next to the items/mouse.

It caused issues with covering stuff due to the increasing amount of structures among other complications when I tried it and I ended up deciding to anchor it to the bottom left. I appreciate the feedback for the future.

GG Can't stop playing, but the way you get resources out of brains and printers is annoying, and it makes changing layouts difficult.

can you make this save-able?

As much as I'd love to, I could only implement this in a downloadable build of the game. I'm a very "keep moving" sort of guy, and managing a YouTube channel means I need to be putting out new content. I'll likely not be updating R&Dy post-release unless somebody finds a game-breaking bug.

Great job! That's a lot of money!

this is such a good idea given the theme, and amazing execution!

Thank you!

im so lost how do i get a game from the computer it doesn't work for me

Use beamers to insert a genre and an idea. Genres are created in combiners and ideas are extracted from printers.

Wery nice game. I love it

Thanks!

fun game, a tad confusing at the start but you kinda get the hang of it very quick, I do have a complain, I can't for the life of me make any kind of figthing genre and it would be nice to have a way to mix the contents of multiple belts, other than that very solid game and nice looking

Thanks for playing and for the feedback. There was a fighting genre in the game during development. It was removed to do a lack of popular fighting indie games. Mixing the contents of multiple belts is possible, I have a friend who playtested it and created a loop to automate the discovery of new games and genres. Glad you enjoyed!
