Just wanted to say good job, and you were one of the reasons I started game dev. This turned out great, it was fun following the development.

Oh wow. Outstanding!

I'm in shock! in 34 hours it's had nearly 11,000 plays now, 10,375,330 little populants have been spawned and 17,658 islands have been reprised ... and at this precise moment 66 people are playing

It's exceeded all expectations, I thought getting 1000 plays was going to be amazing!

11,000 plays now

That's fantastic!  And for your first game ... Can't wait to see what you do next.

Can I ask how you are doing those stats? I think that's an awesome thing to see how many people have played.

Sounds good. Loving the art style to.. I'm a big fan of pixel art.

Stopped playing on the second level of my first go because of how heavy the tutorial was (people who know who I work for can enjoy that comment).

Gave it a second chance, really got into the populous style of play. Fiddling with the land is a lot of fun. Good game!

Congrats on the release! Been following this for a while and happy to see you finish it.

Thanks all for the comments! It's been a crazy 48 hours, 30,000 plays and climbing.

@JasonPickering I'm storing stat's in my own DB to help me keep a count of populations, island reprisals and plays, kinda like the universe.

@st33d I'm glad you gave it a second chance, there has been chatter about the 2 island tutorial, it's a rock and hard place thing. You can see I struggled with it in the past posts  

... but onto the next project which is already under way, and this time it's an ... app!

Oh and this one (web) has been hanging around for a while and needs finishing!!
