Hey supper curious about it. I tried for 10 mins but couldn't figure out how to make the monster machines :D . Do you think you could add a screen shot of how to make a basic generator? Looks super interesting.

Thanks for giving it a shot, here's a screenshot that tries to explain most basic setup to send monsters, hope this helps. Would have liked to do a tutorial given game complexity but ran out of time unfortunately .
Press 1 to place down some essence machines and 4 to place down a combiner. Click the output ports on the essence machines to connect them to the input ports of the combiner. Then press 5 to place down a teleporter and connect the output port of the combiner to the input put of the teleporter. If you see a monster flickering in the teleporter, its working. Every flicker is sending a monster to the battlefield.

Yayy I spawned monsters looks like I lost though :D . I really like the base idea. Would love to see if you continue it!

Nice! Yeah it's not set up very well now, it's just mindlessly increasing the amount of stuff it sends at you over time. And there's no winning/losing. I definitely plan to continue this project. At least get it to my original design including things like machines costing money, earning money, and smarter enemy spawning but I probably will continue to take it even further. I dunno, some future work for sure. I'll see how much it ends up being.
