Ok! So I think I finally found it: The game saved your essence cap as 100. When you reopened the file, it loaded that saved value. So I need it to apply on load. Try again?
Alright! That download fixed the essence cap issue!
It showed me one final issue with actually finishing the game, though. To complete the "Hour of Ascension," you need to have 400 faith, but faith is capped at 300.
I feel so bad for reporting nothing but issues with the game because the writing and story all genuinely feel so good. The interface and the progression (once numbers worked) feel paced well and the little random events definitely gave it a great feeling of slowly regaining power and being able to flex that power in more and more direct ways.
No! This is the goal! I am happy to weed out all the problems of the game! Because that means, once we're clear, we can actually have a solid game! And that's what I want people to be able to experience. So honestly, I'm sorry that you weren't able to get the best experience possible from this game! But this means a lot to me! Thank you for sticking with it! (Fixing that bug right now!)
Yay! (Yeah, I am thinking of adding something like that in the future, but I have so many other ideas I want to work on!) I am currently working on 2 other Idle games that should be pretty good, but I probably won't have then ready until sometime next week. But thank you so much for helping me out with this one!
