ack pressed the wrong button on my keyboard so didnât manage to finish it :â( but have some more feedback for what I did play
after the public find out about the asteroid after the UN meeting feel it doesnât elaborate enough about how they found out/not enough options for suppression/damage control, such as propaganda/tighter regulations on how itâs openly discussed
found the homosexual conversation a bit weird, might be just me, but I wasnât surprised by the context, I would have definitely still fired Marlon.
Feel if riots keeps occurring some flavour text could be nice on the high number of riots and/or other choices such as decreasing public spending/raising taxes/scape goating/drawing attention to other issues etc.
not sure how similar the in game England is to real life England, but kinda discussed this previously, but guns are mostly illegal so a bit more on how they became legal/the cultural change would be good, if the in game England is similar in this aspect.
Also not sure how the public found out about the ship, not sure if I missed it?
maybe have two options when launching the nuclear missile? As I said from what Iâve read trying to destroy the asteroid rather than divert it wouldnât work, but an option to choose either could still be good.
Loved the game over button, actually got quite annoyed as thought there was an out of nowhere time skip when I saw the name of the button, as not seen that done before 
.
When choosing your robot butlerâs gender, with the asexual choice do you not mean non-binary or something similar? I thought asexual referred to orientation?
Still loving the yp 
just a pity that I tiredly refreshed my page 
.
Why? He wasnât attacking homosexuals, just stating something that actually has some logic behind it.

There are lots of great replies and questions here.
The spaceship, no matter what design, will use constant acceleration of 1g through the journey. That means, an artificial gravity would be created that would feel normal. Halfway through the journey, the spaceship will stop accelerating and turn around through 180 degrees. It will then decelerate at 1g, again creating the same artificial gravity.
Guns for public use wouldnât be allowed on the spaceship. The military would have access to blunt melee weapons for order. The actual guns would be stored in an inaccessible part of the ship until arrival on Kepler 62e.
@FutbolDude21586 The limits on cryogenic and habitation modules were only set yesterday. As such the game will be a little easy right now. I will make changes, likely this weekend, to make it harder to build everything.
@CreepyPastaKitty Iâm glad you are enjoying it! This game was started in 2013, originally with the intention of being a community written game, but for this story itâs now just me. A seperate prequel is being written by @Samuel_H_Young.
Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland are all in there, along with the UK if youâd prefer. They are just not selectable on the main list. You are also the first person to notice/mention the jarring start to the game. There is an explanation, but you will find it in the prequel.
In year 8, you have the option to send a nuclear missile to destroy/divert the asteroid. Feel free to try it.
We chose dollars as the currency for the game as, although English myself, setting the game up for 20+ different currencies was too time consuming. Dollars are the most recognised currency worldwide and the majority audience for the game will be the US. The same reason is why it says military instead of CIA. The word president shouldnât show if you are English, though, so Iâll check that 
Thanks for all feedback - Iâll change a few things for sure. At present, the year where the public discover the asteroid is random. (Year 2-7 if you donât tell them). If you get to Year 7, thereâs a full explanation of how the asteroid was found. In other years, you are right, it seems out of the blue. I will definitely change that.

I think they might feel bad about the Earth dying, but they didnât directly cause the asteroid. Lots of bad things happen every day. Iâm not forcing people on the ship, if someone wants to die, they can just stay on Earth. I understand depression and not wanting to live, but I donât understand shooting up an elementary school or theater or going randomly homicidal because youâre sad; I think the people who do those things probably had preexisting mental issues.
Also, Iâm a American. I donât know if the cultural values of each country are taken into account, but we Americans are individualist and not collectivist. That means family is not super important (in a relative kind of way. We ship our old folks off to retirement homes when they get too bothersome and such stuff like that). We also kinda believe if you work hard you can get good stuff and if you donât work hard (or sue people) you deserve to live bad. Iâm kidding⌠a little bit. There are also hard core survivalist already here and theyâd be fine, probably. Look at our president.
Outgoing people probably will lose more close personal relationships. Our 18 year old probably had high school friends, but you usually rarely see your friends from high school once you finished. Sure, the parents will be missed, but youâre suppose to leave your parents anyway.They can start a new family and life on the ship and the new generations wonât even know or remember Earth. Being more reserved and having a source of joy outside of people could be an advantage.

Well I canât remember what he said exactly, and it was well into the yp so⌠but I think it felt like he felt theyâd be more burdensome or something like that you know?
Plus @andymwhy thanks for the responses, yeah that makes sense guess Iâll have to check out the prequel too then, if there is a public yp up for that too?
Or theyâll be super polite chaps who call us âmate.â

There is no link at present for the prequel - it will come out long after this book, Iâm afraid.

The error was from trying to check the progress of the modules after the first year.
Also not sure what is going on here. I am building cryogenic modules the turn actually.
Iâll take a look at this one tonight. I think that maybe you have the veto modules in the production line but not yet fully built. As such, itâs registering as not done yet. Iâll correct that.
I also noticed the end scene doesnât seem to take the space elevator into account anymore for loading the ship.
Loading the cryo ship is being caculated for like 1000 weeks!

Haha, yes I noticed this the other day. Itâs on my ever-decreasing shortlist of things to do.
UPDATE
You now have the horrible task after finishing the spaceship of choosing 10 out of 100 people who will survive. This was a pain to write (and sadly the actual interview of each of the 100 has been sacrificed to spare my mind) but itâs finally completed. It passes quicktest (after so many bugs!) but I havenât had a chance to test it myself yet - if you find any errors, please let me know. Especially with the note system. Iâm sure you can find a way to break it! (If not, yay!)

Possible bug.
I have 190 billion dollars, the Computer Module costs 120 billion, why canât I make it?
Also, completing a Cargo module doesnât add to the count of them.

@Drakeye thanks, I will change that today.
@Bugreporter the cargo modules are correct but it is not easy to see why⌠I will amend them the text today to give more information. Just to explain quickly, after paying for a module, your engineers have to actually build it. The module goes into a queue. Depending on how many engineers you have, 1-4 modules can be completed in a year. The module wonât show on that list until fully built.
Iâm not sure with the computer module - Iâll have to look into it. It does look like a bug though!

UPDATE
The demo has been updated.
-Major improvements to nation select page, especially if you do not choose a nation from the main list.
-Adaptation to nations, allowing me to set nation specific bonuses easily (at present, all nations start equal, but I plan to add difficulty levels for certain nations).
-Notes now work when choosing the 10 people to survive (this happens after you finish your spaceship)
-Price hikes. The game still seems too easy for me, and I would like to make it tougher, but Iâd like to hear feedback on itâs current state first.
-Achievements - now 25 achievements, all working
-Spelling errors and bug fixes (lots of these! Please tell me if you find more)
-More news articles completed (still more to do)
TO DO
100 interviews completion - at present, bugs if you choose people from 41-100 on your list of survivors. This will be corrected for the next update.
Robotics update
Damien relationship update
More News section
Better Shuttle runs and Space Elevator implementation
Nation specific bonuses
Improve rioting check (possible bug)
More tidying up and filling in xxxx sections.
Hereâs the link.
