I’m myself a bit in hardware world but I must admit that I don’t really know that much, especially on old techs, so I have a suggestion, could you add labels/tooltips to technologies in R&D so we know what we’re researching, if it has a good influence en perfs or if it consumes more energy (for example asking for DIP and PLCM(?) chips), etc… I think that would be really useful because know it’s more about try and die when you research techs. Also I find it quite difficult to know what technologies other chips use meanwhile they often say “hey look I have X or Y techs in my latest CPU”.

Thanks for reading, very fun game ! I love it !

Hi,

Glad you're enjoying the game!

I definitely agree that descriptions and communicating things to the player in general could use work, unfortunately the game will not receive further feature updates.

I have read that a couple hours after writing my comment, I was a bit frustrated but it made me want to remake that game myself in an engine like Unity where you can use “UXML”, quite close to HTML on the syntax, to design vectorial UIs, and unlike my other game projects it doesn’t require me to be an artist to make the game :p

Thanks for your work, it was infinitely inspiring, hope your next projects will be as fun as this one !

That's a good way to channel frustration, good luck with your projects!
