By definition it is literally not theft. Stop redefining words and stop accusing innocent people of felonies.

How is it not real art? Also are you sure you are judging the images based on their visual quality, cause I feel like you are just biased against AI art in general.

The AI images that tell the story in the beginning are very good. If you expand the game, I think you should lean into it.

Regarding the current state: I think the very early game is quite boring. You basically have to click "Respawn Target" far too many times before the game starts having a bit of complexity. I think some Auto Respawn Target (which respawns after 10 seconds of inactivity) would help. Also some randomly appearing items that boost fire speed and damage for a few seconds. This way the player can either idle (auto respawn) or has more stuff to do in active play (random temporary boosts).

The AI story illustrations look great though. There is no need to remove them.

Manual research and creating crates doesn't work after ascension.

It's fun how many resources you can make when you got the right cards and your deck starts running like a well oiled machine.

Really cool game!

What I don't understand: What is "for each 5 size ?

Game doesn't load. I'm using Win 10 + newest Firefox update, if it helps.

Nope. Maybe I'll restart the project some day, but there were gamedev issues which forced me to stop developing it 10 years ago.

The laser shoots like 30 degree off of where I'm aiming at. The hit is still detected, but the visuals are wrong. It seems to be connected to changing resolution / fullscreen.

Wow, this is a very good game, but hampered by a few game breaking bugs and a steep learning curve. I hope at some point you'll revisit this game and polish it.

Really cool.

Interesting topic. Dystopic and relatable.

Small suggestion: I think if the miners have megarock focus, they should be mining regualr rocks, if there are no megarocks. And vice versa.

Nice

The droning noise was annoying so I tried deactivating it via menu, and it told me that the progress will be saved, but there was no volume sliders and when I got back into the game all nodes were deleted and I was too poor to buy new ones.

I'm sorry to hear that you have decided to step away from the project. It is a good, fun game that plays well and shows talent. I hope you don't stop developing games forever.

It's a good game. The only things that I would love to see improved is:

- Better idling (should run in the background or accumulate some offline-progress)

- Have idling be less strong (when you let the game idle it gives out 100% rewards, which allows for a ton of upgrades when you leave it running for an hour). If idle progress was capped, it would feel better, I think.

- There should be some easier way to upgrade. How about some button that buys the cheapest upgrade for you and a button that does that 10 times. This would make it easier to get the ton of super cheap upgrades each prestige.

Is there a way to pause the game or deactivate waves, so I can have it idle without losing the base?

Very frustrating handling.

Ah, thanks.

The right column in the store is out of the screen. During fullscreen and non-fullscreen mode.

How do I press "Next Level"? I'm stuck after destroying the 3 radar dishes because I the game doesn't show the mouse and I can't press the button with keyboard.

This is really cool! You should continue development.

It took me a while to find out how to go to the next turn, I was confused by the city UI at first, at some point the settlement was inaccessible for some reason and since there is no save/load feature, I gave up.

It looks like an ambitious project, but it feels quite broken right now.

I can't even test it because the events are happening too quickly. It's like every 2 seconds there is a new crisis.

Also I can click (and earn EP) even when the simulation is paused. Is this intended?

I hope you add more content. The current version is too quickly won.

Also the negative CO2ppm values do not make sense. Just cap it at a healthy/desired rate and it will be much better.

After just like 4-5 rounds I have maxxed support, max attack speed and laser damage, which makes it very easy to get to 10 simultaneous laser. At this point I bought some defensive upgrades and could ignore the battle screen, buying mining upgrades rather mindlessly (also the mines' conveyors are too slow to take the output of all mines).

Besides that the girl's audio clip is repeating too much for my taste.

Overall I think this goes in a cool direction but you might want to change the balancing or expand on the gameplay so the max-out doesn't happen so early.

I have multiple versions of Firefox and when I ran it in the vanilla one it was fine, while the one with a bunch of plugins ran the game badly. I'm not sure which specific plugin caused it.

I have 48 gems, doing combat and gem merging. The biggest spikes come when I spend a lot of mana.

The high CPU usage when the game is out of focus was because of a Firefox plugin, not because of your game.

I like the game, but as you get more stuff it slows down quite a lot and hogs up my CPU. I'd love to have this game run in the background, but the high CPU prevents it. Maybe have some passive income calculation when the game isn't in focus. Also maybe there could be some tick rate setting, so one could have one calculation per second instead of one calculation per frame (or whatever the current speed is).

This is quite a good game, but has a very frustrating learning curve at the start. I bet it would be more accessible if you added a tutorial and a relaxed mode, which leaves out the random negative events and makes the score requirement more forgiving. As shuffles are quite necessary sometimes, you could add a manual shuffle button to the relaxed mode, but have it be on like a 10-turn cooldown after use.

One bug I found: Sometimes you have no stones in hand, but you can't pick up stones from any circle (and there is no special stone selection). This softlocks the game.

Don't let yourself get bullied by these people. Use whatever tools (AI or not) you want and don't get discouraged from doing non-free games with AI.

Most of the people complaining about AI art are using AI at work (or school) themselves.

Interesting approach and I respect the effort, but since Itch has a ton of new games every day and gives you next to no free exposure, I believe you won't get much usable data. Analyzing Steam tags or looking into Steam genre breakdowns might be more fruitful.

If you disagree with some tools that some creators are using, just pick another game. There are over a million games on itch alone.

You have published 11 games in 3 days. I'm just curious what your motivation to do so is.

Also how about combining ideas from those games into one game that is more fleshed out, cause right now all of them are very minimalist.

Cool! Good improvements over the previous UI.
