Yeah, Brighter Shores definitely isn't what I was expecting Andrew to release after all these years. I was thinking RuneScape without tiles and maybe WASD control.

I was surprised by him doubling down on tiles and point and click ... but there is a certain charm to it. Especially with the "table top" design he chose. I also think the "rooms" system in retrospect might be kind of genius in terms of allowing things to always have ideal population density.
