Thank you so much for this feedback! I will make sure the discord link is working, people have been joining so I didn't think to check. Don't worry about seeing any pictures or spoiling any story, all the extra pictures are placeholders! As far as ruining your game, this next update changes the game to the point that I usually have a note on update: NOTE: highly recommended that you 'reset' your game for balance changes to take effect (stuff like that).

Fridays update will be no different in that I will highly recommend you 'reset' your game for all the new changes to be implemented. Once I get somewhere closer to the 1.0.0 release ( possibly sooner) it wont be necessary to 'reset' every update.

Consistent numbering: Absolutely agree and this will all be aligned in the update on Friday.

Is there any way to save progress? No matter how much I play, every time I reopen the game or refresh the page I am at page 47 in the story and the picture of the Voidweaver. It is, of course, possible that the Voidweaver's skill is similar to the big alien thing in Edge of Tomorrow, but I assume that there is a more technical reason.

The game saves everything to Local Storage, and should save your page every time you advance to a new one.

In your original comment you made it to way past the end, did you come back to the game after that, and you were stuck on Voidweaver?

Or you reset the game, got that far again and got stuck?

What browser are you using?

I am unable to replicate this bug atm, I appreciate your help.

I use Edge , but my PC is a bit of a dinosaur. All devs on itch seem to be full of questions for me about how games react on my PC. It seems to be a sort of Twilight Zone machine that does things that other PCs don't.

I left the game running for a few hours while I went to work with an autoclicker levelling up the Energy multiplier. When I tried to play the game after that I had ridiculous slowdown. So much so that I had to close the browser, which didn't happen. So I opened Task Manager which took another 10 minutes to open and even once Edge was closed it took another 10 minutes for my PC to be operating properly.

I tried again today and had the same issue, leaving the game running for less time but doing the same thing. Both times I restarted on Voidweaver.

Finally, earlier I played again and this time just clicked manually through to the end of the game and when I restarted, I was at the Deer.

I have just reopened the game as I write this message and the game is at the deer again, but my stats seem to be the same. Unfortunately my lumber is at NaN, which seems a bit odd as I only earned 342k while idle, so infinity must be rather low on your game. Also, I am no longer earning gold or food from battles. All fights are only giving me items.

The tooltip for Lumber says that the price will increase by 25G each purchase. It

doesn't. The price is always 100G.

I also think that Swift Potions are way too OP. Getting items is easy, so getting free pages is easy. Halve price pages may be better for swift potions, unless your intention is to make it easy for anyone to get to the end of the story very quickly.

Max Soldiers is 8. Well, you can buy more but the stats don't increase, though your population is lowered.

I just clicked through to page 300 and refreshed the game. The pictures are before and after the refresh.

Though I am earning gold and food again, but my lumber is still at NaN.

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out! And the screenshots help tremendously. I will be referring back to this post as I fix these issues.

My first guess is that my game saves local storage more often than your pc can store the info, totally just a guess but I need to optimize this better.

Happy to help. I'll keep you posted about oddities ;)

What time do your updates usually come? We are obviously in different time zones as it is after 7pm here!

EDIT: Just noticed on your main itch page. It is only 6am in Arkansas! Good morning ;)

Good morning lol! Approximately 5 hours until the update drops!

OK. I didn't reset my game so I don't know if the lumber reaching infinity issue has been fixed.

I noticed that you made most of the numbers consistently units, k, mil, but bil mght be a useful addition as 10 Energy Multiplier costs over 2 bil for me. Maybe even ditch Mil and Bil for M and B. Most gamers understand the abbreviation. I would also suggest less (if any) decimal places. My Energy Multiplier actually costs 2496.917545 mil. 2497 would be fine in my humble opinion! Also, the Total Energy Per Sec hasn't been changed to mil and still shows as k despite being in the mils.

Soldiers have the same issue that you can keep buying them after they are maxed. It would be nice if the new limit of 20 could not be exceeded.

I know that I should play it from the beginning, but it's hard to throw away my 20 mil energy per sec without potions.

I find that the things I do in the first minute or so of playing are saved. So I log on, upgrade as much as I can and then leave. I return and do the same, over and over until I have spent all my energy. I have got into the habit of getting some idle gains by switching tabs before closing the tab. I don't know if it helps, but I do it anyway.

I just paid more attention to your dev name lol. That's what she typo'd.

In the Silver Mine, when a number goes above 100,000, it vanishes completely.

My VPN stopped working so I can only message here.

The current final enemy never dies. Its HP just goes into minus numbers, and also its name doesn't change. It still says King Crab, or at least it does for me. This could be due to the fact that I was already past the final page and the enemy was automatically being fought without ever actually having come across it.

I will look into this thank you! (EDIT: Issue should be fixed now)

I noticed that when upgrading my Blacksmith, I went into negative numbers with coal. After a restart which didn't save my progress, I clicked repeatedly to find out at what point it allows me to buy the upgrade. The price was 4.9k Coal and when it let me buy it, I was left with -0.674k Coal. No idea if this always happens at around 14% under the selling price. Probably be easier for you to figure that one out.

Thank you for testing this out and finding out what specifically was affected. This makes it a lot easier to fix!
