I think the art looks okay but realm grinder sounds like it requires actual effort to progress through so instead of playing it I'll just continue idling vicariously through other people

Poultron posted:I'm kind of feeling this way too. I've played a lot of different incrementals lately that all individually have some interesting idea or gimmick, but none that have really kept my interest for very long at all. Realm Grinder was the last one I sunk many, many hours in, but I haven't come back since the new stuff was added recently. It just seems like it takes too long. There definitely hasn't been anything new under the sun recently. One thing I'd like to try and make if I ever have any free time again is something with a multiplayer element. The singleplayer part would have the expected idle/mmo-esque elements. You'd have a character that automatically fights monsters, can be geared and dressed up, factions to join, etc. For the multiplayer part, you'd submit your character data to a database, then a client I have my own computer would fetch random characters and form a sort of idle raid group that fights monsters together, while streaming everything to twitchtv. Random people in chat could contribute... something. Maybe bet on who they think will die first. Unfortunately I don't have time for anything new right now.

I downloaded Realm Grinder onto my Fire tablet and somehow it loaded my Kongregate save from when I briefly played the game 6+ months ago  The text is very small and I can't imagine how anyone plays this on a regular phone.

Someday I might finish my idle side project/spin off game and then maybe I'll become the flavor of the week again. It's actually around 70% done but  Here is a preview of things that might come to be sooner or later but probably not for awhile

I posted this a few weeks/months ago. Here is a link if anyone wants to try it: Test the game Keep in mind this isn't a release, this is a limited edition test version. There are probably a lot of glitches, unbalanced things and other issues. If your save data doesn't fall into the abyss, it won't carry over into in future versions. It's also only going to be available for a few days. But I do have an online ticket system, so if you play test it for me, or if you find some kind of game breaking issue or a really unbalanced build, I can gift you fabulous rewards in the future

The game not running in a tab is some browser technical thing that I can't do anything about. You can fix it by pulling the tab out into its own window.Xtanstic posted:Immediate impression: the upgrade menu is a tad confusing. Each character having differing attack bonus is weird. Feels more natural to just have a scaling atk bonus? Also there's sound/music options but I'm guessing it's not implemented yet? The upgrade menu is probably something I'll reorganize before the end. I was trying to avoid doing the exact same thing every other idle game does with building/unit upgrades. And music and sound effects aren't implemented, because I don't actually have any music or sound effects to use

Generic exceptions and out of memory errors are going to going to be an unfortunate part of life right now. Definitely don't go in expecting a release ready game. I uploaded a new version (0.36) with some small improvements. Same link as before

I think the host I'm using treats each new upload as a brand new, unique game and thus doesn't recognize older saves. That's... undesirable. I guess I won't update the game again. On the bright side, I wasn't planning to use them for the official release. If anyone wants to test the support code system (it's under Game status), here are some Heroic Gem codes: bo1-d8d6-5hi 7kf-wc3o-6sy 1yg-18pt-46m gs4-cx8s-nto 5i8-eta5-h5s fw4-oco5-hs6 tjm-1o4w-ssr i4y-dsxw-4op 7u8-roac-ra4 313-5ti9-sfc You have to manually type them in (including the hyphen) because ~Unity~. Dr. Arbitrary posted:Suggestion: The dismiss all button shouldn't dismiss tutorial messages. Are you sure the close all button closed the tutorial messages? Aside from the two intro messages (which I fixed now), it shouldn't be. The tutorial messages all have yellow titles. I'll add a manual save before the real release. habituallyred posted:The new version certainly deleted my save. I don't like the mouse over gems to collect them system, but at least it seems to be optional here. The gems get auto picked up after 2-3 seconds, or you can change the Graphics Level to low (it's the one setting that does things).

Ghostlight posted:Experience seems weird. I've got a bunch of bonuses to it, but the Mission/Combat level increases don't seem to reflect it at all, and there's no way to see actually what my bonuses from it are. Are you talking about the experience boosting consumables? Those are just one time increases, they don't give you a multiplier. But that's something I might change in the future, since there are currently very few ways to increase your experience gains. It might not be obvious since I haven't updated the game, but I am fixing all of the typos everyone points out. edit: the craft item rewards are broken, but they (and many other things) will be fixed before release

Dr. Arbitrary posted:When scrapping items, there needs to be a faster way to clear the "Are you sure you want to scrap this" popup. Either let me tap enter or have some way to mass scrap things. I'll add enter as a way to confirm. Kyrosiris posted:I'd also like to have a comparison of what I'm switching against when changing equipment. If you aren't already, you should go to the equipment tab and use the Weapon/Armor/Shield/Trinket Inventory buttons. It makes changing gear easier. When an active trinket is active there should be some yellow text with a timer underneath the HP bars that shows the buff and a timer. Depending on the region it might be hard to see. If it never appears that might be an issue. Ghostlight posted:I guess I am? But also the experience boosting equipment and achievements - I got far enough to find out that levels were consumable, but it seems then that experience is a huge trap stat. It turns out the mission and combat level experience calculators had some issues but rest assured they'll be

I'm working on a sort of item comparer. When you open the inventory through the equipment tab, your currently equipped item(s) will show up on top of the list, like this. That's probably the best I can do while still keeping the UI mobile friendly. Because I might actually put this on mobile instead of just claiming I will then never doing it, or so I tell myself. In case anyone was wondering, I have invisible leader boards implemented into the game, so you can't see me but I'm silently watching you progress through the game  . Whoever reached level 55 and has 106 rewards unlocked is currently winning the test build.I'm probably going to take down the test build in ~12 hours or so, so if you have any input you'd like to get in, you'd better hurry.

I don't when the real release will be, but I'll post here when it happens. Expect to see a bunch of incremental improvements. I'll also give everyone free premium currency and maybe something more.

Once I posted here complaining about how the Lost Idols game had daily quest type things that required you to click. Well I want you to know that in my game I posted here a little while ago I added not just daily click events but also achievements that require you to complete daily click events because I'm just the worst person  The click events have a low chance to appear, at least. I'll probably actually release the game (on web) in October. Maybe.

There's 5 possible daily bonuses that can appear each day, all of which are counted for the achievements, and one of which involves clicking between 250 and 500 times, which you'll probably get without thinking about when you're trying to push through a boss. Not only will this likely not ruin the game or make it unplayable, you might even enjoy the free items you get afterwards.

I've posted things I've made here in the past and have just about always made change when people have made suggestions. There's not really a need to run a smear campaign against me me because 1 brand new feature that's not in the release yet (because the game isn't actually going to be released for another month or two). Since it's not a popular thing, I'll remove the daily click bonuses.

GrossMurpel posted:Incidentally, is there any accessible version of the game anywhere since I missed it the first time around? I'll probably do another round of testing before I release it, but I don't when exactly. Monitoring forums and responding to questions/comments/complaints is actually very taxing and I don't have the time or energy for it right now.

Unity WebPlayer builds (which require the addon, and ran moderately well, and was actually nice to developer for) ran in the background. But then addon was killed. Unity WebGL builds (which use javascript and are unfun for everyone involved) need to be focused or in their own window or they get throttled.

StrixNebulosa posted:Play them in Steam, where it can log the hours you've wasted in the game and show them to all of your friends! I always wondered, do people on Steam actually like idle games and spend money of them? (other than Adventure Capitalist and Clicker Heroes, which would make money anywhere). I remember back when Steam Greenlight was a thing and games needed votes to get onto Steam, people would show up in mobs to express how much they hated idle games.

Poultron posted:Moral quandary: Does the new Lineage 2 Revolution on Mobile count as an idle game? I was thinking of starting a clan or something on it if I can't find a goon one. It has has some idle elements but I think calling it an idle game is stretching it. I'm still playing it though (on iphone) because I played massive amount of Lineage 2 when I was in highschool and it's really weird to me that Lineage 2 is a thing again. I wonder how much it costs to siege Aden or fight Anthras or skip my class change quest.

Oenis posted:Uhm, how do you buy anything other than Attack Up upgrades? Does that come later? The level 30 boss is a wall but you should be beatable within an hour or two of reaching him if you're using all the mechanics available to you. The game does have a lot of little features that aren't immediately obvious, though. Some of the information here might help: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1002340-ef-universe-endless-battle/topics/1635692-faq-for-newer-players After you beat him everything you need to complete daily bonuses is available. Elixirs work like this: Press Create -> Receive permanent stat increase. Violet nuggets make them 35% stronger. This is something I'll add to the confirmation prompt in the next update. Dr. Arbitrary posted:I really like some of your older games, specifically Spaceport Command and Idle Raid Guild. Any plans to remake them? I wouldn't count on it.

If anyone tried to play my game earlier in the day, you might've encountered a ton of errors. The game's back end service provider decided to crash and burn and take me with them, but it's "probably" fixed now. Such great timing  If you look at these graphs you can probably identify when the issue took place

Toshimo posted:@shs: Any word on any of this? You can post here and I'll read it, but 99%+ of the people playing the game are on Kongregate so that's where I spend most of my time. It's actually kind of strange watching 200+ people slam themselves into the game.
UI improvements will happen gradually as time goes on. The game is more complex than most people can comprehend and there's a massive volume of information that needs to be displayed, so things take time.

Lottery of Babylon posted:I really enjoyed this and it was working great at first, but for the last few days it's been super lagged and running at like 1/5 speed and basically not playable. I've been shotgunning out updates at least once per day. It's possible all the tubes are clogged. You might try clearing your cache. It's also one of those games that won't run at full speed unless its tab is focused or it's in its own window.

Captain Foo posted:what engine/toolset are you using? Very delayed response, but the game is a Unity WebGl game. Hence why it requires a high end computer and still has questionable performance.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Why do so many idle games have sound and music? It just seems like the worst "feature". They make the game feel more complete. The hardcore fans of idle games might be annoyed by those things, but the general gaming population will often see a game with no music or sound effects and assume the game is cheap / lovely / broken. Even better if the music actually fits the game and wasn't downloaded for free from some bargain bin music website.

I'm making a new thing. It's an idle game with a collectible card theme (crossing the streams ) play it here This is a test build, not an official release. Save data won't carry over to the release, but if you help me find things that are broken, confusing, or unclear, then the actual release will get here sooner. Some of the art isn't finished. For the time being, all of the regions use the same background, and several hero/support cards share portraits. This screenshot probably seems incomprehensible, but if you play the game for a few minutes, it'll all makes sense. Probably.  If you played one of my previous games, I want you to know, this is what the cards were for.
