A lot of this is explained in-game at various times, but it's not always accessible, so I've assembled a quick-reference mini-guide: here:

Post-submission bug fixes:
* Fixed incestuous bug where children coming out of the cuddle room would sometimes end up in someone else's bunk
* Fixed bug where an early-game hint about growing population would reappear in late-game due to... circumstances
* Fixed typo in cuddle room's help text referring to "Bedroom" which is actually called "Bunk" everywhere else

*Development Notes*

All sound effects created by either recording bouncing dice onto things, or using Bfxr

Me before jam: _Last jam I overexerted, let's do something small._

Me when theme is announced: _Let's do the most mechanically complicated game I've done yet for a jam._

_And for the fun of it, let's make only 1-bit graphics._ Maybe that actually reduced the time to make art though, it was a fun challenge regardless =).

Pretty much all sound and final graphics were done in the last 2 hours, no music for this one!
