A word of caution is also why I like Flotsam: It's in development, so it's changing. Things work, then change, and sometimes break before they work again. It's like playing a new game every few months. The play is casual, which I like. But interesting enough to keep me playing one more game day. They've added "architect" which allows fixing city layout. Floating things can be rearranged. So unlike other city games, when something doesn't work, you don't have to destroy, crash your population, and then rebuild. I like the discord community too.

Thanks for playing. I enjoyed playing it twice, opened all kinds of buildings and built a big floating city) It's a pleasure to pass time with it, and it's quite easy and fast. For a couple of weekends you can easily try all the features of the game. Also the game has nice graphics and gameplay. Thank you for continuing to refine it. It would be cool to add some dangers to the game. The game description states that there are predatory sea creatures in the game, but I didn't encounter any. There is a whale swimming around, but it's safe. For example, you could add different predators on land, in the air and in the water and the ability to create and pump different tools and weapons to counter them. Also, I would love to play through the story campaign in this game if there was one. I'm waiting for the full version to come out already. Thanks for an enjoyable game!)

Great game. Getting improved constantly. If you like city-builders management like Frostpunk, but less punishing and more wholesome, it's for you. It also has a Rimworld-like feel to it, because of the inhabitants having traits that makes them better at some tasks and worst at others, so you have to "know" them to use them appropriately.

I love the game! HOWEVER, I built a good size town, then it wouldn't let me build anything else. Apparently there is a maximum size for town, at least for now. Unfortunately, I was nowhere near completing the technology tree, so the game is definitely incomplete.
