My feedback:
- smelltery is way too slow in the lategame and I am wondering if it is a necessary mechanic at all(though something good might certainly get out of it)
- Being able to pick up gold bars from the smeltery only after it is filled up was a little bothersome
- Saving camera view in the upgrade tree would be greatly appreciated
- Many stats and descriptions were contradictory. As a programmer myself, I strongly recommend having a single source of truth for everything. That is, if you have a value somewhere in the game and need to use it in multiple places, have those places reference the original value instead of copy/pasting it (or even better, have a file or multiple files e.g. a json with all of the game's numerical values). It will save you an incredible amount of headache
Generally really enjoyed it, except the lategame grind, but I understand this is an early version and I can see it being very good in the future
