Hmmm i like the idea of elemental daos, dont know if you look at the patreon but on the next update there already is elemental temperation, maybe i can add more depth to this on later updates, seems to be a great idea.

I still dont think if this would be a endgame mechanic though. The current endgame is more focused on deities and beings that can create/destroy worlds with a whim. Elementals are nothing more than world matters. The first ascension is planetary level, second is stellar level and it goes on.

Anything before first ascension will be useful for first ascension, but wont be that useful for second ascension nor third and so on

What im aiminig with endgame is around 6 ascensions, in 6 you already are controlling multiple universes. Each ascension will have similar playtime of the older ones with kinda similar flows.

Im still thinking if i will do 6, maybe i get this down to 3 if i feel that the progression is becoming too stale

About the world laws, is like Earthly laws and Heaven laws

For example lets talk about Time Law

Lifespan is directly tied with time, more lifespan = higher timeflow

With timelaw you can speed this up breaking the timeflow

So making the days->tick speed having a more incrementalist approach.

So Earthly laws are late game(not endgame) things(power level around e160)

Cultivating laws instead of QI makes your deep understanding of the specific law better.

So for earthly laws:

Cultivating the World law will make you have a deeper connection with the world as a whole, so your dantian will be way more effective at qi gathering.

Cultivating the Elemental law will make you have a deeper connection with the elements, so each elemental node on your node will have a way higher percentage of elemental transformation

Cultivating the Life law will increase your lifespan

Cultivating the Soul law will increase your SP gains

Cultivating the Bloodline law will increase your bloodline gains

Cultivating the Body law will increase all your stats as a whole

And so on, these will be focused on specific upgrades on your character as a whole and will persist thru rebirths. But you will only be able to cultivate a single law in each life.

Heaven laws are later(power level around e230) 

These will have a more in-depth change in the game flow:

Cultivating the Time law(as said before) will make the lifespan->tick speed faster

Cultivating the Heavens law, will add a %bonus of Divine element in any mantra you cultivate, divine elements works with 100% in any element at the same time(pure just ignores elements, divine works with them) if used with Heaven chosen specific mantra(its new, not on this version yet) it will be exponentially stronger

I need to think of more laws but these are what i already wrote

Im still thinking about post-infinity content but this seems good.

Theres already a Dao system implemented, each origin has its own Dao system, i  can do something like that but i dont know if it will be post-break infinity content.

I still need to do the world law system, having more in-depth control of dao will need a related law to that

Hi there

1: i will add that but with army fighting and i wil add more monster tiers, but this is a hard subject because i want weapon ascendance to be hard, not something you can easily do

2: you can already, just need to press ctrl+shift on pc or go to the Buy part on the speed bar but i can see that on mobile the speed bar is behind the modal, i already worked on this and should be updating soon

For 3 im implementing this right now

For 4, yeah i have LOTs of ideas and players on discord gives a lot of them as well, it really helps. But for now im holding on new origins and new mechanics so i can take my time and look into all the existing ones(i think there are around 13 origins by now) 

For the next update i want a more in depth refining into all the origins(like what i did with sword cultivator) with clear progression goals in each of them. Only after that i will come back to adding new ones.

Probably new content only with 0.4.* and even then will be focused on more endgame content(post-break infinity content)

The plan is going to steam at around 0.5

Feel free to come to discord, im p active there.

Hi there, i just uploaded a fix to this, should be working now

Just uploaded the APK but im still working on polishing everything

Oh im working on that, theres already a testing version up but i still need some time to test

Claws is a demon weapon, you need to do the demon cultivator origin at around the abyss major realms you transform

Here you go

https://discord.com/invite/qFRYJ249Ux

Oh if you only cultivated and didnt get enough pills or better equipment i think thats normal, you should lose at stage 8-10.

Can you come to my discord? It would be really good having more feedback on that 

https://discord.gg/sBNw7R4Fn

Are you playing on the normal or fast mode?

It shouldnt be that hard on normal... about the time it get for you to lose, it is a design choice.

For example, you can use the time monsters are beating up your base to get stronger and kill them faster(specially if you are in a clutch), until later stages it takes a while for your base to get destroyed so you have time to do a clutch saving, monks can help with that as well.

About the brutality, the cultivation world is brutal, if you lag behind its just a matter of time until it breaks you.

But if you can manage to do the right thing you can overcome and become a god(thats not even exagerating lmao)

Sorry for the late answer, added this on the current update (0.2.4), when you cultivate your hp recovers way faster

Good to know everything is fine now(about the tutorial i can test it here, no worries)

Probably we wil have a big update(1 tower boss) working soon

The game should feel pretty fast, at least on the earlier parts when you know what ur doing, a full playthrough to divine will have at most 30 minutes of playtime

Hi there!

Good to know, you mean the sect defense part?

It should be the first thing you do when you start a new game

I found it, thats a bug related to skipping tutorial, my bad! Try a new game now and should work normally.

Every 2 minutes on normal mode(or 1 in fast mode) you get attacked by waves

Just doing anything else it restores a % of your hp per day

Peak cultivator is a wuxia/xianxian roguelite+base defense.

You are a cultivator(only sword cultivator) that needs to balance defending your base while getting stronger.

You need to cultivate, buy servants, forge, alchemy and comprehend skills.

When you are strong enough, you can defy the heavens and break your mortal chains getting stronger and getting new mechanics to get even stronger.

This is fun and playable early build, but we still are in early development so some bugs will happen.

Here are the game link:

https://asuma312.itch.io/peak-cultivator

The game is all about time manageament.

Almost every mechanic has an specific minigame to it, do it faster then you have more time to do everything else.

Thanks for the attention, i hope you like our game!

In the earlier versions there was a LOT of concepts and mechanics related to immortaility idle

But based on my experience- and player feedback- i think the current active playstyle is way better as a whole.

It becomes a more idle game on later stages when your lifespan is like at e38 years

But even then, in the current update your day tick speed is based on your total lifespan(you live longer so your immortal mind change your concept of time) so even that encourages active playstyles.

Ik that can be a bad thing for some players but thats how im following and working on the current game design. Still i tend to hear a lot of the community so feel free to input your thoughs on that

Hi there!

Yp, thats how it works.

About that at around version 0.2 i was already asking myself if this is really an idle game.

Most of the good feedback was from the more active and incremental parts, and most of the bad feedback was from the more idle/long term parts

Thats why most of the game is not idle, but an active incremental playstyle(it rewards a lot of active play)

I was thinking of changing the name to Path of the incremental(not idle) cultivator

But you wont die of oldage... i think, at least thats not a real concern from most of the playerbase

This is a weird bug, its fixed already on cultivator-path.com(now achievement is tier based)
Im finishing the body cultivator origin and some body cultivation changes then i will deploy it to itchio

You should watch but you shouldnt play... its a rabit hole of a game

But the sheer complexity of the mechanics make ppl with jobs- like me- dont play, worst if they didnt played the game before.

You can get A LOT of inspiration on that one but make everything simpler and u r on an amazing path.  Look sect manageament from tale of immortal as well, its not the best but its good

I really like the idea
But more like to amazing cultivation simulator but idle and simpler

2D graphics where you can see your disciples gathering cultivation and so on(really simple animations or even static sprites with tweens)

And all you do is get a better sect then beat other sects on tournaments and so on

I was thinking of something like this, if i was not busy with my current project i would try to do that.

Be careful with godot tho, support to bignum is kinda weird and you should either already start with a bignum lib implemented or go for float on everything and work around the overflow.

Good luck! I think theres a LOT of potential in this one

Thats weird, im not getting this problem from anyone and cant replicate, can you come on discord? its way easier for me to help you there

Come to our discord, im way active there!

Consider adding letter format and or engineering/scientific notation. The numbers are just very long: QI Progress 203,265,203,5577 / 4800333291090

Already on the way, i will do that when i finish the current bloodline+elemental mechanic

Allow me to manually resize the width of the left side area of the screen.

Wdym manually setting the width? The main game container?

I did the body refining up to RARE. I don't know if it changed anything? Perhaps hovering over it should tell me what it is affecting? Dd it raise my Powerlevel perhaps? Or did it make it so weapons refining is faster? I have no idea.

Technical manuals will be completely reworked, most of the feedback about that was bad and i dont think the gambling mechanic worked as well

I did the body refining up to RARE. I don't know if it changed anything? Perhaps hovering over it should tell me what it is affecting? Dd it raise my Powerlevel perhaps? Or did it make it so weapons refining is faster? I have no idea.

Body refining multiply your base stats, but i will look into it, its some of the mechanics that will be mostly reworked

For some reason in the tree builder I can make a path like Bloodline->CHC->W.Mastery. But I cannot make a path like Bloodline->W.Mastery->CHC

Can you help me replicate it?

The breakthrough fights not having a cap (to the number of bosses you can kill) seems like maybe it might be exploitable? I dunno. This is fine and fun as is, but i didn't try to go tryhard with it which feels like it might be something crazy if i did.

It kinda exploitable but i think its funnier than exploitable so i will try to keep and just make it really hard to exploit, unless i see thats just impossible to balance, then i will find another way

Oh, and maybe it would be nice if you added a tab where some of the latest notifications were listed, in case on popped up but i failed to read it in time. You know, the messages like "Advanced to Chaos 2" etc.

I will look into that, i tested an action log before but i felt the screen was just too clutered

And a bug i think. If i am dead, but i have cultivated to the end of the realm and unlocked the breakthrough option. I can open the breakthrough option, then just click on like the 100x speed button and the character might attack the boss. I can keep doing this until I finish the first boss. Then I can click finish and breakthrough, now I have more lifespan and am not "dead" anymore. This is particularly useful for QI gatherng and foundation level, since you can just power up for the full number of years, then after no lifespan you can enter this death challenge and continue.

if this behaviour was intentional, perhaps change make afunny flag for text replacement of "breakthrough" to "life and death isolation" or something silly like that. 

Its not intentional, theres not enough tests when you are dead, but it should work as a auto rebirth, i will look into that as well

Thanks for the review!!

To be honest we didnt have enough time to fix all the bugs and polish everything, mostly with the animations

Like some parts just get position bugged :/

Thats prob the best game i've played for this gamejam so far

I want to do a similar game as well, is REALLY fun to play

The only problem i find is that it doesnt really fit the theme, at least in my eyes

If i was you, i would continue to develop this game, its REALLY fun

The movement is really smoothly

the sound is really good as well and its really balanced

amazing work

really liked the music, and fits perfectly with the theme

i had a lot of fun not having limitations on where i can place items

amazing

The art is fire omg

Thanks for the review!!

We brainstormed for some time until we get some idea to what we want to do

And the artist is amazing as well, the design is fire

Thanks for the review!

Glad you liked

Thanks for the review!!

we had some ideas but didnt have enough time to fully implement them, sadly

The artist is really talented as well, all mecha designs goes to him, hes amazing

Hi there

Tkx for the submission

One of the things that we worked more is the shadow system, to make easier for the player

The reason to the cone being visible outside the lightareas is because of one of the secrets, it makes u invisible in light but visible in shadow

We didnt have enough time to really polish the cone but i will take what u said and polish more tkxx

We will continue work on this project, thank you again

Anywais... i wont say where the cheatcode is but you can use these three

sh4d0 - Shadow Walk(press space to use)

1nv1s - Make you invisible in light(but can be seen in darkness)

ph4s3 - Make you phase thru objects(pillars, walls etc..)

Hi there

Tkx for the rating

We will continue to work on the game and make everything more polished(and more levels ksks)
