Surprised not to see a thread on this, although maybe a bit risqué due to the theme? Will be very careful in this post :p

Anyone else playing this? Had a go with a couple of mates on the demo last night and was a good laugh, so we ended up buying the full game, not sure how much longevity it would have solo, but it's definitely entertaining in co-op.

Got a nice little enterprise going so far, making ~£1.5k/day, but it's starting to get a bit chaotic keeping up with all the orders, and struggling to see how helpful the "distributors" are at the moment (probably a an issue with our understanding of them to be honest). We're still only on the first product, got quite a streamlined little production line going, and getting ready to increase our portfolio - as soon as we find a bigger production facility!

Graphically it's definitely not going to win any awards, although it does have a certain charm; I guess ultimately it's a management SIM, but the the physics/mini game based production tasks are a lot more fun than just clicking a "craft" button and waiting for a countdown.

I'd definitely recommend giving the "Free Sample" a go if you think it sounds vaguely interesting; you're limited to a smaller area of the map, but otherwise it seems to be a very open demo.

its pretty fun and addictive though, can easy waste 30-50hours for 15quid.
for me time flies when I'm playing it, other people I talk to say the same thing, it shouldn't be fun but somehow the game loop ends up killing time so efficiently.

Exactly - it's even more fun when playing coop with a couple of mates which we've been doing!

As I mentioned above, it's very similar to Factorio with the whole "just one more thing" gameplay, except instead of optimising belts and factories it's:

"I need to log off and go to bed, let me just quickly replant those seeds first"
"Doh, out of seeds, better order some more"
"Oh, now I need to clean up the rubbish"
"Oops, need rubbish bags"
"Peter File wants 20 Kush, I can drop that off on the way to pick up the bags"
"Got another couple of orders, might as well do those quick"
"Plants have grown, quickly trim and pack those"
"Need more baggies, grab those quick, drop off another order on the way"
"Right, I need to log off and go to bed, let me just quickly replant those seeds first..."
