Hi,

I'm aware that the robots may end up creating lag at high level, I'm thinking making a maximum number of them on the screen to prevent lag or modify my game engine to make it more low spec friendly... I'm going to see that in few days.

The buttons should have been larger the last update, I've already seen the problem when you showed me your game after 20k clicks, but, I forget to move the new files in the new game's archive... My bad, I'll do a hotfix today, or a new update, depending on my planning.

Letters for number is an idea I'll think about, as you said there is not much chance someone will get that far in game but I'll think about it because it's true, it's makes things clearer.

I'll make stars either bigger nor brighter to make it easier to catch, maybe extend time it shows up on screen too.

Thank you again for your feedback, it's really much appreciated !

Something changed between v0.76 and v0.77

v0.77 will not start.

After I tried to open it, I got an "Engine log" in the folder.

I'll take a look at it in few hours, I just don't have the time yet.

Sorry for this crap, but this should be an easy fix :)

Edit : I've just tried and seems all good on my computer, maybe try a 'fresh' install or change screen resolution in settings.ini as I forget to reset it as default :

name
Atomiclick
window_w
1366
window_h
768
Fullscreen
false
Show intro
true
Visual quality ( 1 = high settings, 2 = low settings)
1
Maximum robots on screen ( between 0 and whatever your computer can handle )
20

It was the resolution. After I switched the numbers in the file to 1366/768, it works again. Easy fix.

This is what the "settings" were at.

name

Atomiclick
window_w
1680
window_h
1050
Fullscreen

Show intro

It could happen if your screen can't handle 1680 * 1050. But glad it fixed the crash and I hope you liked the update.

I've been busy lately, but I put 4,000 clicks into the game today. It looks like everything is working properly so far. Nice work :)

Do you have anything else planned for it, or are you keeping it a "minimal" type clicker?

How's your new game coming along?

Hey, good to hear that everything works fine, thank you :)

I don't have any precise idea, except add the achievement system and some visual enhancements are planned but nothing for gameplay. I know it's a bit boring and lack of things to do, I may add things later like the common reborn system or new level with defferent colors. Nothing very original I must admit, but suggestions are welcome, as always :)

I've been busy myself but I've been working on the game engine and the other game. It's going fine, I've got an early prototype running, a kind of story... I may eventually post it here in few days. Thanks for asking. I hope everything is good for you.

Nice additions in the newest update. I put 5,000 clicks into it, everything seems to be working.

Thank you, glad you liked them. Sorry for the late answer, I've been working on my last game Mad Run.

It's a free game too :)
