Hi Civilians! I have just posted a new version (0.3.3) which has improvements that should fix the lag that people have been reporting on. Let me know if anyone is still having issues !
I also want to thank everyone again who has played the game or left a comment or feedback. I’ve read everyone’s comments and all of them have been so helpful for me. I know some others have been having issues with save files or playing the game in browser too. I’m planning to post Mac and PC builds in the next few days which should hopefully solve those issues in the short-term.
Good game, but it really becomes unplayable very quickly. After my third reset, I am sitting at >100q digs/s and the game is running at an average of probably 1 frame every five seconds (even with the reduced UI animations). Gotten to the point that firefox has been telling me to reload the page because it is slowing firefox down. If you find the right way to implement it, I would highly recommend implementing multithreading and offloading the heavy dig processes to worker threads that won't cause the main thread to hang... Though I'm sure there are plenty of optimizations you are also considering :)
I love the game so much it reminded me Realm Grinder with its strategic planning on upgrades and "specialization" to achieve different goals etc. Very creative, good Dwarf Fortress touch also.
If you're not familiar - your game was submitted on Incremental DB and it got big positive feedback there, so good job. Would love to have your game on Steam.
P.S. But lags in later stages of the game are disastrous...
bug! the first research permit costs 200, but the text box says "now that you've reached 300 research points"
Related to this, the value of research points is way too low for what's required for the first prestige. at 0.1% you need 1000 to make a 10% difference which really isn't that much.
I am also investigating the save file issues that people have reported ; I believe the game should be saving in Chrome but I need to look at issues with other browsers!
Hello everyone thank you for playing and leaving feedback; its all really helpful for me !! I totally hear you guys about the lag issues. I'm going to make it a priority to fix. In the meantime, if you see lag, you can click the little "eye" button in the top right of the 3D view to disable some of the UI animation on the grid. This should hopefully help a bit in the meantime, but I am working on a more robust solution now. Thanks again !
good game! i also would love to see the cost of buying 10x and perhaps how many you'd buy with max. also, i don't like the upgrades that reset prices. it's super easy to accidentally get a few of them at once and 'mess up' your progression. perhaps the upgrade reduces the scaling instead of resetting it each time.

one frame whenever i feel like it
one frame every maybe
got to a point where i get 1 frame every sometimes
I'm guessing a lot of the lag is caused by the text boxes that each fossil creates. Maybe only show it for first time finds?

Realm Grinder was a big influence for me ! And yes I think my goal is a Steam release
Nice game. Really enjoy the "hold back for better rewards" style upgrades.
Typo report: pop up for first new permit says 300 research points while other places it is 200.
Also, it got really laggy for me too, it persists even after a new permit, when you have high bonuses.
The game is stuck in the unity loading screen.
No errors are logged to the console.
Hey thanks for reporting this and sorry youre experiencing that issue. Can i ask what browser you are using ?
I use Arc, but also tried Firefox and Safari.
played well until i got a high productivity bonus, then it keeps freezing and stops playing
you did a great job of making each new building feel really impactful without making the previous ones feel useless, nice job!

thank you for catching this !!
The text size and contrast could be better. kinda difficult to read certain texts.
noted !

The rate at which you gain research points is so slow I lost interest in the game.
It really snowballs. Once you are able to reset, do so immediately because you get some huge buffs that aren't related to the research points.
took me like 2 hours to beat the game idk how Ur having issues?
i played for like 2 or 3 hours, went away a bit, came back and my save was gone, pure pain
The more your dig power grow the more it lags at around 2000 worms on the worm garden "map" it becomes unberable.
I think it's the 3D map, it surely looks cool but it's something that is likely making the game lag.
When you are a at more than 1000 worms it became laggy

Makes sense ! have been on the fence about the resetter upgrades myself
would be nice to see the total cost of buying 10x option and how much and how many are being bought for Max option.
thank you, noted !
