Hi,

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for appreciating the game's design! It's incredibly helpful to hear your thoughts.

I have great news: Update v0.3.1 is now live, and it directly addresses the issues you encountered!

Pacing & "The Drag": I completely reworked the upgrade cost scaling. Previously, costs would skyrocket by 10x in the late game, creating that massive wall you felt. Now, the curve is much smoother (scaling by ~1.8x early on and ~2.5x later), making progression feel consistent and rewarding without the endless wait.
Save System Fix: I'm so sorry you lost your progress. You were right; going back to the menu should have saved the game, but on WebGL, it can be tricky. To fix this permanently, I’ve implemented a new Auto-Save system that saves your progress every 30 seconds. Your factory should be safe now.

I hope these changes solve the issues you faced. I'd love for you to give it another shot!

Thanks again for helping me make the game better.

Ah, I wondered why I lost my save. New version does seem a bit smoother.

Is there a way to unlock more of the prestige tree? I only seem to have three things available to buy, so prestige doesn't seem to do anything, but there's a screenshot with a bigger tree. Do I just need to save up more points?

This is just the demo version of Echo Factory, so the main game will have a much larger tree than this. I am working on that
