How to Play

• Connect buildings up to a solar panel grid to receive power (signals)

 Other Notes

• Total Dev Time: 28:57:05
• This is an idle game - I've adjusted the waiting period to be fairly short for Jam-players. Should be able to unlock everything within 10 minutes if optimized. 15 minutes if you play around
• Yes, signals were used to program this :P
• No AI was used in the creation of the game including assets, code, and research - we read docs like god intended
• First time using godot outside of messing around with it
• Wanted to try using some of Kenney's assets. 3D solar punk models are made for the jam. I typically make 2D games so this was a lot.
• Started with Kenney's city builder template and built off of that (TY)
• Because you can make your own music with this game there is no BGM track - unlock the bell and drum!
• For musicians / optimizers:
  • Each solar panel receives a signal once a second and distributes it same frame. Length of the chain does not matter.
  • The router / distributor can be used to delay a signal to every 2s or every 3s. If you chain these well you can get even more delay.
  • Let me know what your max coins / second ends up being or if you make any music :)
• Had to cut quite a bit, but I hope you enjoy!
