Agreed, there will be loads of options for the player. If you check out the demo, you'll see I have lots of options even for how to triangulate the terrain, and I will extend that to gameplay too. There can be a "full game", and then one where you switch things on or off, for you to enjoy it the way you want to.

Be sure to include options to reduce or eliminate hunger rate of the turtle or manipulate other factors like resource gain or research rate. I'm a big fan of survival crafting games, but the sanity feature in Green Hell was simply too much on top of an already complex system. After turning it off I felt like I was able to learn. Sometimes doing a super relaxed playthrough to learn the game is a big help.

Yes. They exist as far south as Nicaragua. Even Florida has them. Which I am assuming you mean something like conifer trees. Trees that are always green and extremely common in the south like tropics as there is no cold weather.

Hehe. I actually contacted Rhianna Pratchett and she's fine with it. The World Turtle myth is of course as old as the mountains. As long as I don't make it Discworld-y, a few hat tips are in order.
I like to think Terry Pratchett would get a smile on his face if he saw this...

Thanks for all the supportive and civil comments, everyone. I always try to stick around and react to comments to show that I'm not just on a "dump and run" spree hoping for some quick, free exposure.

There are so many loose ideas floating around in my head! I wish I had more hours in a day to implement more of them. At the moment the "antagonist" is mostly natural threats / disasters, as I'm focusing on teamwork and helping each other rather than fighting and armies.

This sounds like a super interesting mechanic, curious if you've considered intentional neglect or damage to sabotage others enjoying prosperity, perhaps there are things you can do to protect yourself from such an event.
