playing Virtual Villagers

[jinian]

Another Last Day of Work game, following my conquest of Plant Tycoon (YAY) and Fish Tycoon (pretty fun). The game is basically a sim starting with a few shipwrecked humans trying to get by on an island. There are a bunch of puzzles in their environment, of which I have solved a few. I was wary, but I haven't been annoyed by any racial element so far. In fact, there are several types of people, none of which has any traits beyond appearance as far as I can tell. I will list them:

• The Redhead Army


• Men who look like Rock Lee


• Men who like skirts (ponytails are optional)


• Spiky-haired kids


• The Bald Man (his kid appears to be half bald)


• The dark-skinned, big-eyed people


• The Femmes

Unlike Fish Tycoon, selecting a person doesn't show you who their parents were, so I live in mild concern that I will unwittingly inbreed these people. (Maybe the Klingon kid is a result of that. Uh-oh.)

I am annoyed that the women have to do nothing but nurse a kid for two whole years of game time. Come on, you can pick some damn berries with a baby on your back.
