🌊 The GOAT Surfer - An Incremental Surfing Simulator [Early Access/Feedback Wanted]
Hey fellow incremental gamers! I'm excited to share my first game: The GOAT Surfer - where you'll start as absolute surfer noob and progress to become the Greatest of All Times.
I wanted to make an incremental game slightly influenced by titles like Progress knight or Magic research, but to stay in real life, maybe to add just a bit of supernatural skills :)
Features which I think make it unique:
- Catch waves, master new skills and become the Greatest Surfer Of All Times
- unlock new locations and quests and upgrades
- learn new jobs and career paths, earn money and respect,
- surfing simulation in increasingly more difficult locations around the world
The game is in early development, and I'd love your feedback.

How to level up?
The update won't let me progress past quest 2.3, old save, with "contest_placement: top_1" unable to complete.
Fun game, I get the common criticism of faster energy regen, but I think it's fine. Later on with higher fitness and better housing, energy regen is a lot more barable. I do have another small nitpick.
Since this game is early access/indev, I would love to know where the currently accesible content stops. As of version 0.2.0, I think I have all available content unlocked, but a certain job requires me to be surf level 5. This nagged me because I need to level a locked skill to become level 5. After some digging through the code, I found out it is "Speed Generation", which is already buffed by a main quest, yet the skill itself unlocks in Portugal, which is unavailable for me, despite completing the quest that unlocks Portugal? It is confusing and I think its because you are still working on that section, but it would be nice to know for sure where the current content stops.
Besides all that, a very fun game that I would see myself playing again once the game is done!
how can i go to portugal?

Am I the only one who would like energy to recover a bit faster in the beginning? Other than that, this is amazing for a first game.
Please make the energy gen faster or at least try to add offline energy regen or make it still be active when I'm not on this tab
other then that, Great game
Very good game, energy regen is a little slow though
Did this game just update and place a cap on energy? Which is the opposite of what people were commenting on?
And apparently it doesn't automatically continue the last action after energy's been filled up again. Maybe that's an upgrade? If it's missing entirely that's kinda questionable. Why have it automatically rest but not continue what it was doing?
developer response: There was a bug in the first version 0.1 where the cap was not respected under some conditions. That was fixed in 0.1.1.
Automations for work/surf and other things will be added as unlockables as you progress the game.
