Another Game

I found another game. This one involves creating a village, solving puzzles, and accomplishing tasks. You can get it from Grubby Games. You start off with 8 people and they have children which grow up. It's fun to watch them grow and see them building things. Here are some pictures.

It's raining!

This is a map of one island I'm developing. Eventually, you sail to other islands.


This is my cast. You can only go up to 50 people so I don't have any children right now. The couples are color coded with bright colors. (You can change their clothes, hair color, and hair style.) And I named them in order of age alphabetically.

Slitherlinks

I'm addicted to slitherlinks. It's a logic puzzle that is a cross between a maze and a dot-to-dot. "The puzzle consists of a grid of dots, with some clue cells containing numbers. You connect horizontally or vertically adjacent dots to form a meandering path that forms a single loop or "Slitherlink." The loop must not have any branches and must not cross itself. The clue numbers indicate how many lines surround the cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines (from 0 to 3). "

There are a lot of them here. I started out with the 7x7 and then the 10x10s. Now I'm working the 20x20 easy puzzles. (I can do the 7x7 and 10x10 pretty easily now.) With the 20x20 I start by using a colored pencil to mark all the lines I'm sure of at first glance and then come back with regular pencil to complete the rest. Sometimes I even color them in afterwards.
