HINT: in the beginning pause the game use the 4 spots to the left of the house for trees and grow your family three people is enough and plough all of the fields to the right of the house resume game then wait until they finish ploughinhg all the fields then plant vegetables in all of the spots you should be able to get though until harvest time with the beard while waiting for the vegetables go to school with the 50 golds pieces (go twice) then chop the trees at 5 go to the market and sell all of the trees hope this helps

Pretty fun game! I think it could use one more thing though, that being a family tree. I would love to see how mangled and confusing it would be xD

Interestingly enough, if you didn't have the grave mechanic, you could just sell all your food to get schooling, out-reproduce the starvation rate, and have the entire family plant trees for as long as you like. [I tried this out in Sandbox mode]

To send someone to school you just need 25Gold - only source = market
To reach a high lvl, start with 2 ppl - send one to school (always), the other one plants only trees.
Research the right techtree first,
After having everything researched build one well, you only need 1 person to drive the farm - no worries, you get automatically a new person if you die,
Build pens on all spots and buy cow, if u have two cow left in a pen they will breed more cow - cooking those brings the wealth
Selling is not necessary, the value of all goods count for the score.

This is a great game, but I wish it had more stuff to keep it going. Like being able to buy more land and buildings, more research and jobs. 5/5

Wow, mourning the dead makes you healthier? I guess I should take my sick relative to the nearest graveyard. They'll recover within six months!

What the hell. 3 of my sheep ended up on the graveyard (a tombstone occupied my pen). I kept buying sheep and it kept putting them in the graveyard pen. Sheep are now useless. That sucks. Fix this bug please.

I actually love the lack of tutorial- I hate games that grab the focus and don't let me play for the first 10 minutes.

This is a really good game. It makes me think about the flowing of the time... it's like a sort of speeding up of our lives, a wonderful metaphore about the existence of men. You born, you study, tou find a wife, you raise a child, you work, you die. Without forgetting your ancestors. And many other things. Really really deep, only apparently just a simple game.
Ok, a part from that, some advices: 1) a genealogic tree would be very nice; 2) a shortcut key, to avoid to the player to click continuosly on the ground spots to plant, harvest, etc; 3) an ability tree, to let us know what's the next upgrade; 4) a little summary about the current age of the members of the family; 5) on the grave, a number that displays the age of death of the member, instead of having us doing the math; 6) a year clock. This game has A LOT of potential, you really should continue to develop it. 4/5 for now, but you can easily make it a 5/5! ;-)

im kindave confused. you walk in front of your house to "bake bread" and grow family and research. well i guess for research you walk back and forth thinking of what to make but you dont get to work.

How to survive as long as possible - Plant trees, fill the screen. Sell them to earn coins. Buy bread and go to school with them. Repeat. DO NOT grow family. Research and build well. Draw water until health is 100. Research +1 health per year. Destroy well and plant trees. Research double trees. Profit. Makes the game extremely boring but this is how you survive as long as you can, given you live forever alone.

All of my emily's have had 3 or more husbands.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've encountered several cases of homosexuality producing children.

Basic info for anyone new: Trees have 3 stages in which you can cut them down, the first when the tree is as tall as your house, the second when it is double the size of your house and the third when the tree is massive. The first stage will get you 1 wood, the second 3 wood and 5 wood for the third stage. Veg and grain will get you 3 or 2 back per fully grown plant, dependant on what is planted before it. If you keep using the same area for wheat and grain, you will only get 2 back (with no upgrades) however if you alternate planting trees then grain on the same patch, you will get 3 back per plant (no upgrades). You can see this by the height of the land after you have harvested or cut trees, hope this helps :)

After researching everything and having 100+ of each food I decided that it was time to make what a man and a woman are supposed to do. repeatedly. all the time.
color me surprised when I discovered there is an enforced populational cap of 12 people.
So much for my little den of debauchery.
