itch.io

Just giving extra data on the issue: I'm playing in Google Chrome v142, on a Windows machine.

I guess the game has an autosave somewhere, because I just re-opened it and some of my stuff was still there, even though I did not use the 'savegame' cmd.

The game opened. Info on offline progress says some 42mil cycles. Still says I have 6 used cores out of 7 (6/7). cmd 'listprocesses' says 'no processes running' (there should be 6). I start at srv.1, which is stopped, and at level 1 (it was level 20 before). I'm able to start the cycles on srv.1 because still have that extra available core. All other srvs say stopped, and cannot be started because all cores already in use.

Very interesting! I enjoyed the command line feature and the setup. Since this is an alpha, I will limit my review to issues I found that hurt the playability:

#1 You play a bit, get to 2 cores and have 2 active processes. Then save the game and reload, processes are stopped, but you cannot start them, the game says you dont have available cores.

# 2 After situation #1, doing a newgame and reloading the page, number of cores and cycles do not get reset. Still cannot start new processes, and processes are all stopped. Had to force some deep cache clean for things to trully restart.

# 3 the 'copy' command needs better explanation for the [args] (lot of players are not familiar with command line)

# 4 the 'copy' command gives an error when it tries the js command for navigator.clipboard.writeText. An error is shown in the screen the first time, and copying never actually works.

# 5 (not a bad thing, just a feedback in the experiene) getting to 10k cycles can take a lot of semi-idle time. Waiting for cycles to go up, upgrading process, repeat. It takes a couple minutes, and its a bit boring when you have already explored all nodes. Maybe its lacking content, or guideline to start pushing for 10k earlier while exploring, or it could be a goal that is too high. Or its working as intended and this is just an individual opinion.

Cant wait for more content!

If the score does not go up with the [Click] button, use the RESET button. Fixed for me.
