Tingus not only removed everything that made the game fun but they're also doing the standard mobile game thing of ads that aren't real This is what the devs have to say about it quote:it's more like a/b test experiment, shown to a percentage of users to see if these screenshots attracts more users. If it does, it make sense for us to put in the game as mini games.

It's always bizarre when a mobile game makes a sudden shift to "and now we will make more money than god" but it's especially strange in that case. Tingus doesn't exactly have mass market appeal. Somehow I don't see a g-preg (goose pregnant) graphic tshirt showing up next to Minecraft at Hot Topic.

another idle loops question (thanks for the advice so far!): imbue mind seems obviously fine, but... imbue body --- +1 starting stat seems... completely negligible. even if i spent 20 hours farming it to +20, those are stats that i get like, 20 seconds into the loop. is there something im missing, or is imbue body just a trap?

crime weed posted:another idle loops question (thanks for the advice so far!): It's mostly useful later when you can get a lot of it, and since Talent has pretty steep diminishing returns, it's pretty cheap to pick up when you have enough talent that it's negligible. It's definitely not strong enough that you want to trade significant amounts of your talent for it. It's particularly useful since there is some mid-late game stuff where you have to do something *really fast* and having those starting stats is a pretty big help there.

Garfu posted:I just played through it on the 1.0 beta. It's VERY good but it's my second playthrough so I knew not to invest anything into my gear until I hit the max level (150). Just upgrade gear level as you go but don't worry about crafting or optimizing anything. I really really like that game. You can theorycraft builds, do challenge runs, and a bunch of other fun idle poo poo. I don't know how you sped it up without drowning in a pile of loot. There are not enough filters early game, and character builds unlock slowly and don't really seem necessary until nearing level cap or something? I don't know that I'll keep with it past the demo. It feels like it's going somewhere, but also not going anywhere at all.

It feels like it's going somewhere, but also not going anywhere at all. You can hide loot en masse in the glossary. The end game is farming a specific drop to then craft up by un-filtering it for a sec then re-filtering it. There's also the scrapper, which turns into an auto scrapper as you upgrade it with a ton of customization options. But yes, the 1-150 grind is weird cause the game doesn't really open up until 150 so there's not much point in scouring through loot or filling your inventory up. Thus why I sped it up.

Daraken posted:My advice is to try to brew as many potions as you can per run. It'll still give you some alchemy exp and the money you get from selling them increases pretty quickly. More gold means more mana, which means you can get deeper into the large dungeon. More soulstones then gives you more leeway if you want to grind up the older skills or if you want to push forward. I'm extremely dumb, how do you play this game? Any way I arrange actions on the left side just leads to a reset and any progress being reset along with it. I tried for five minutes and couldn't seem to actually progress anything?

to start you want to wander until you have pots to smash - the pot display of # <- # <- # indicates how many pots you've smashed this run for mana (which extends the run), how many pots you can smash for mana, and how many pots remain to check whether they have mana or not. to progress you mostly want to break any pots that haven't been checked while exploring to find more pots with mana in them until you build up a good number of mana ones to keep a run going long enough to rack up stat increases and other actions.

Yeah what wasn't really clear to me initially is that your character "remembers" stuff between loops. So initially if you're picking locks, and the game says there are 100 locks to pick but only 1/10 contains loot, you've just got a 10% chance to get loot when picking a lock, and will have to pick 100 on average to get all the loot. On future loops, you can check the box to pick locks with loot first, and once you've "discovered" them all, you're guaranteed to get all the loot with only 10 picks.

I got the scrapper, but didn't realize I could filter out loot in the glossary. I'll give that a shot to see if I can manage the deluge. I'm just going to leave it to grind up levels then until it gets to the meat of the game. It seems worth $5 in any case.

When it says "Every X ~actions~ gives Y", then every Xth unrevealed action converts to Y permanently. So, every 10th unpicked lock becomes a gold drop permanently.

If you're not opposed to speeding it up with cheat engine it seemed worth it to get through some of the monotony. I also made minor dll QoL edits. I can share but I probably need to update them to the main version. Nothing progression breaking and nothing that effects damage.

The 1-50 blew past and I figure it won't take that long to get to the meat of the game.

wonderboy posted:Bit of thread necromancy, but I didn't see this answered, and also am too dumb to know how to actually run this fork? Sorry went on vacation right after I posted that. Easiest way would be: 1. download VScode 2. add the Live Server extension 3. In the terminal type 'npm run evolve' (can't remember if this launches your browser if it doesn't go to step 4) 4. click the tiny 'go live' text/icon in the bottom right of VScode There are other ways but that's prob the simplest for people unfamiliar with dev environments.   You can then go hog wild if you want editing stuff, just make sure to run 'npm run evolve' after every change. Garfu fucked around with this message at 22:49 on May 3, 2024 |

I thought npm just came default with VScode but perhaps you have to install npm first, just search like you did for Live Server and install it edit:  apparently it does so unsure why running and npm command wouldn't work. I can troubleshoot via discord this evening if needed. Maybe update vscode (if you have an older version) or update npm? You can also view and run npm scripts via UI with this extension so if nothing shows up then somethings up with your npm

Thanks for this advice and others. I'm not sure I like it yet, but I'm at least getting some of the appeal. It is quite cerebral. I'm purposefully avoiding the perfect optimization rabbit hole and just playing on bonus time because it is VERY slow otherwise.

jetz0r posted:They killed the goose game so hard, and it ain't gonna recover. I played in the beta where you could get any IAP you wanted for free and still got annoyed enough to quit at how aggressively they monetized the game; can't imagine how they made it even worse. What a fumble; a big physics-based build-your-own pachinko machine idler with a weird bespoke art style could have been something super cool. edit: I'm desensitized to F2P games going for my wallet but I think what killed it for me was literally everything had a popup that was "spend $ to skip this, spend $ to get this" etc. etc. -- like there was no aspect of the game that didn't offer some avenue to spend money to not engage with it, which makes me wonder if the devs had any faith in people wanting to play it at all. Like at that point just add a $500 in-app purchase that makes "YOU WIN!" pop up on the player's screen, because clearly that's what you're going for. Every F2P game has monetization that's some degree of annoying, but Tingus Goose was impressive in how it managed to make what could have been a really interesting game feel completely soulless. It's worth checking out just as a case study in bad game design. goferchan fucked around with this message at 04:07 on May 4, 2024 |

It mimics the style, but it's more similar to Evolve/Theresmore style game where you're constantly gated by max resource/resource gain and you just have to wait. Part of the appeal of Orb of Creation is you constantly have something different to work on. Here I'm waiting for an upgrade that requires 20Qi Knowledge while I only have 5Qi max knowledge, and it's literally my only option.
