itch.io

The event first appearing is just my first thought on the cause as that is the only new thing that has happened and is present when the game goes unresponsive. The first time it happened I could see all of the correct text load and the three buttons with highlight states still recognized that I was hovering over them (so "Ready!!!", "Conspire", and "Expose") but clicking on them does nothing and I can't click on anything else either (like the stars or hiring any more minions) nor can I even scroll the page anymore - I managed to refresh the page in time and got rolled back a few minutes before the issue occurred but immediately hit it again once I got to a choice again and it behaved the same other than the actual Choice Message not changing and remained the generic text, though the risk descriptions still loaded (as in the generic message for when you hit Sovereign stayed present, so I have no idea what the choices refer to - its possible that message just changed when I hit enough influence and I didn't notice it at first). I was also actively interacting with the top stars and reading their descriptions probably at the same time it tried to change to a Choice Event, so that could likely be part of the repro

Seeing the same issue with the guild merchants - also the 25% discount on Merchants star applies every time you upgrade one of those so the Traders and Caravaners just become free after enough purchases, lol. Also get a hard lock that I haven't found a way to get past when a "pick one of the two" option appears as the influence keeps going up but I can't interact with anything. Also couldn't seem to purchase the 9th star upgrade, but usually tried around the same time as the previous issue manifests so might just be the same issue (or a problem with gaining too much influence at once since I purchased enough merchant upgrades to have them granting many millions per second due to the upgrades being free).

Overall though, very fun and I appreciate the time waster. Thanks!

Very fun time waster - thanks! Two points of feedback that I had:

1 - Anchor the "Open # tabs" button to a static location - currently it changes positions at least three times (when upgrades or cache becomes available) and each time it throws me off.

2 - I really like the RAM usage bar visualization on the App Manager page and basically leave that up the whole time while clicking behind the window - would be awesome if that bar visualization could be added to the main page (either replacing the number visualizers in the top right or just in addition to them)

Either way I had a great time, so thanks again!

Never played 1 or 2, but has been fun so far - do wish there was a way to see how much my current store products are making for me so I know when its ideal to switch from what I'm currently buying (with maxed upgrades) to start on the next thing that needs all its upgrades (I tend to stick with 35ish, cause that feels right, but no idea).

Would also be nice for the Upgrades and Store pages to remember what page you were last on (though the q keybind does help, now that I've read that it exists. . .).

Either way, I appreciate the time waster - thanks!
