Tynon is probably one of the least demanding games I've played. If you want demanding, try uCool's sister game Evony which is great for insomniacs! :P

I manage to to my chores, cook, shop and work while playing and hosting a guild. It's all about time management really and I never used or wanted an auto-clicker. Tynon's major flaw is the set event times and everyone has to miss out occasionally but heck sometimes real life has to get done lol.

The suggestions you've posted have posted many times before and yes they are good ones. People will play less because it's, well summer. Rest assured when the autumn/fall arrives they'll be back.
