    Research is cool, but it seems like a bad idea. In a game like this.. unlocking new things to build is usually a reward, rather than a job. What's gonna be rewarding other than expanding the plots? Unless you're designing it so you can research certain things until you reach specific levels.

    I understand the choice to go top down, and as a solo-dev, working on this project, I can see why you'd go that direction. However, for me, the isometric look was a main draw to the game. There are already loads of automation games out there, and many find their niche with art. The previous style had a charm and quality that really attracted me to the game, and I feel without it, I may no longer be interested. This is also something I've seen reflected in other comments (though maybe not to the same extent), and so, marketing wise, I would say it's a step in the wrong direction. But if making money and reaching the widest audience isn't your goal, then that's fine.
