lol, I just realized this wasn't a jam I wanted to apply for anyway, and this game is old, I didn't made it during the jam process. I'm withdrawing the game from the jam. Sorry about that.

It should be working now; we had this problem a while ago, but it's gone now. You can test it now. Thanks for the feedback!

hey everyone! Game is under maintenance, servers will be online again on tomorrow, thanks for patience!

Small question for players:

Do you prefer rare monster drops being extremely rare (0.1%–0.3%) but very powerful, or more common drops with smaller stat upgrades? 

I'm currently experimenting with both approaches for future regions. Curious what players prefer.

Idle Throne continues evolving

This update focuses on strengthening the core combat systems, fixing long-standing item issues, and improving multiplayer reliability.

⚔ Combat System Core

Combat calculations have been unified across the entire game.

Previously, different systems could use slightly different formulas, which created edge-case inconsistencies.

Now:

•All combat damage calculations run through a single core system

•Defense mitigation is fully synchronized with backend calculations

•Critical hits and passive bonuses are calculated consistently

•Combat outcomes are now predictable and stable.

🗡 Rare Equipment Now Dropping

Many items previously existed in the database but were never obtainable.

That has now changed.

47 previously unreachable equipment items are now obtainable as rare monster drops.

Drop rates range between 0.1% – 0.3%, making them true rare finds.

Examples include:

• Shadow Dagger → Shadow Stalker

• Sun Blade → Djinn

• Drake Staff → Fire Drake

• Spider Queen Staff → Giant Spider

• Mummy Lord Staff → Mummy

• Void King Staff → Void KingThese items now appear from monsters that match their region theme.

🛡 Region Armor Rebalance

Region armor sets have been rebalanced to properly reward exploration.

• Region gear is now 15–25% stronger than the best craftable gear of the same tier

• These items are monster-drop exclusive

• No crafting alternative exists

This ensures rare monster gear actually feels valuable.

👥 Multiplayer Stability

Several backend improvements were made to stabilize multiplayer systems.

• Party state synchronization improved

• Edge cases causing broken party states resolved

• Disconnect handling improved

The goal is simple: multiplayer systems must be reliable before expanding them further.

Idle Throne is still actively evolving as systems are expanded and refined.

Something unexpected happened today.

A player just purchased the Idle Throne Founder Pack…
and instead of paying the $3 price, they chose to send $10.

For a big studio this might not sound like much. But for a solo developer building a browser MMO, it means a lot.

Idle Throne is still growing step by step, systems, dungeons, combat and multiplayer features are constantly evolving with player feedback. Seeing someone support the project this early is a strong reminder that people believe in what this world can become. Huge thanks to Magnimoth for becoming one of the very first supporters of Idle Throne. Early supporters will receive special recognition in the community and help shape the future of the game. If you enjoy the game and want to support development, you can do so here:

Even small support helps keep development moving forward.

And if more supporters appear…
this world will grow much faster.

Heyy, you can play this game on ---> https://idlethrone.com

I’ll be actively reading and responding to feedback. Early balance will evolve with community input.

Hey,

I’ve been quietly building an idle / incremental game and finally pushed a public alpha.

The core idea is simple: progression shouldn’t feel automatic. In IdleThrone, you can push upgrades as far as you want add stats, stack levels, even roll new effects but the more you push, the higher the risk. Items can become cursed instead of stronger. There’s no full safety net. Offline progression also isn’t guaranteed success. If you leave your character unprepared, things don’t always go perfectly. The goal isn’t to punish players, but to make decisions matter a bit more than “click and forget.” It’s still early. Balance is actively changing. Some parts are rough. That’s exactly why I’m posting here.

I’m specifically looking for feedback on:

• Does the upgrade tension feel interesting or just frustrating?
• Is risky offline progression engaging or annoying?
• Does this direction feel fresh in the idle space?

Short clip below shows the upgrade system in action.

Playable build: https://thronecreator.itch.io/idlethrone

I’m active and iterating constantly. If you want to go deeper into discussion, there’s also a Discord linked on the page. Appreciate honest thoughts.

Interesting game, good job!

Founder Pack is Live!

Most idle games are solved in the first few hours.
After that, they just run.

Idle Throne is built with a different mindset:
a long-term idle MMO where systems stack, decisions echo over time, and progression is meant to last — not spike and burn out.

Combat runs automatically, online or offline, using the same real rules.
There are no fake idle bonuses, no hidden offline penalties. What you build is what plays.

The depth doesn’t hit you instantly.
It creeps in.

You start noticing how small optimizations compound.
How certain upgrades feel harmless until they’re not.
How some items push you forward — and some quietly curse your path.

This is early alpha, but the foundation is already there:

• Persistent idle combat with real rules

• Flexible party composition (no rigid classes)

• Dungeons with modifiers that change how runs feel

• Risk-based item upgrades with permanent consequences

• Guilds, raids, travel, gathering, progression that doesn’t reset every session

Idle Throne is not finished — and that’s intentional.

The game is being shaped openly with the community.
Feedback matters. Ideas matter. Broken systems get rebuilt, not patched over.

If you want to be part of that process, you’re welcome here.

There’s also a donate option for those who want to push development faster.
Donators receive the First Upholder Badge — a permanent achievement displayed on their profile.
No pay-to-win. Just a visible mark that you helped build the foundation.

Try it.
Question it.
Break it.
Help decide what it becomes.

Discord Community (Fresh New)

IdleThrone started as a simple question: What if an idle game actually cared about decisions?

Over time, the answer became clearer. Roles matter. Party composition matters. Dungeon modifiers don’t just change numbers — they change outcomes. The game no longer rewards “set it and forget it.” It rewards players who stop, think, and adjust.

[Dungeons are not ready yet]

With the role-based system in place, Tank, DPS, Healer, and Hybrid characters still matter — but party combat now works around shared actions rather than shared targets. Parties consist of 5 players, with each member fighting their own monsters. When one player uses a skill, it also affects other party members’ enemies. Heals and buffs are shared across the entire party, turning individual decisions into group-wide effects.

Loot is no longer fully isolated either. Drops have a percentage-based chance to appear for party members, and when multiple players focus the same monster, loot chances slightly increase while granting temporary attack and defense bonuses. Party play isn’t about collapsing under pressure — it’s about 

 even while fighting separately.

The world itself is no longer a single loop. Traveling between regions changes what you can craft, gather, and optimize. Farming in the wrong place won’t stop you — but it will quietly slow you down. Progress is still idle, but direction is intentional.

Getting into the game is easy. Guest Mode lets anyone jump in instantly, no account required. Staying and mastering the systems, though, takes time — and that’s where player feedback matters most.

IdleThrone is still evolving, and this is where the community becomes part of the process.

If you enjoy systems-driven idle games: • Play and experiment • Share feedback — what works, what breaks, what feels unfair • Talk about builds, parties, and dungeon strategies • Support the project by spreading the word or following development

Every comment, test run, and suggestion directly shapes where this game goes next.

This isn’t a finished product being shown from a distance — it’s a project growing in public, with players helping define what “idle” can mean.

More deep dives coming soon — especially into how dungeon modifiers reshape party strategy.

Thanks to everyone who’s already playing, testing, and supporting. And if you’re new: now’s a great time to jump in.
