Comments for Idle Earth

Does sound work for other Unity based games on Kongregate? I have the same issue for one of my laptops, no sound on ANY game.

Theres a weird problem with the game engine I used (Unity) and how Kongregate stores its games. Working on a Cloud Saving option for the next update.

Noted. I'll have a look at this in the next update. Thanks for the feedback.

Probability happened ;)

That was a fun game.

Audio controls are found in the Options menu (located in the menu). The only purchases I can think of without labels are the core game mechanics which don't change throughout the game, so after the very first purchase theres nothing new to know (if you don't see prices though, just click the 'arrow' button on the right side, thats a different UI layout). As for the text popups, I am not aware of any bugs that do anything like that, if you could send me a screenshot I can see whats going on.

Theres a lot of math behind the ratios and the prizes. In order to offer good prizes, the chance of a bad one must outweigh it otherwise it gets overpowered. I may look in to the logic behind this all in an update though.

Maybe I could put in a high score table for best losing streak! Keep playing though, you're bound to get something decent. They arent rigged, the randomness just hates you.

Open another one!

The one you get from the disco power up? Just a decent amount of coins. The cooler one at the end? Just a fun thing for being awesome.

By 'skipping' some game playing time, you've effectively skipped that achievement. You have a 1 in a million chance to get that achievement every few seconds. Every time you don't, its more likely: 1 in 999,999 then 1 in 999,998. Each artifact increases the odds as well. So the more you play, the more chances and the higher the chance. By the time someone finishes the game the 'intended' way they should well and truly have the achievement. So just leave the game running if you've beaten it, your artifacts should trigger this soon enough.

Hey thanks for the dedication! As more content comes, the long play time will be more and more justified :p

Skip the tutorial then? As soon as you finish the tutorial, or skip it, you arent really told anything else.

Every now and then, when you load up the game, you may be able to score a free gem from the splash page. Nothing special, just a way to randomly reward users returning to the game.

Thanks for the feedback, Im working on a major quality of life update atm. After that I'll look into adding some new things, maybe another cave or something.

That one was a little test I did. You have a 1 in a million chance to get it every few seconds. Every time you dont, your chance increases for the next time. The more artifacts you have the higher your chance as well. You are almost guaranteed to achieve it by the time you finish the game.

The Mage generates a lot more coins than the other characters. The thinking was a way to keep the payoff high while not letting it happen too often. I'll have a look at it though, I might be able to come up with a more enjoyable method.

Thats new. I guess it would be, never heard of any problems with that before. Im changing some core stuff at the moment, ill have a look at the code for the offline mode too.

If you hold the mouse down on the key button, you can buy more than 1. You talking about more stuff for Keys? Not much point, the only way to get a key is to spend a gem, better off to put in more things for gems, (which you might have meant), which I may do in a future update.

My test playthroughs showed a fairly even growth to the end of the game, each tier taking approx 10% longer than the last. I'll be having a look at the scaling of things and this may result in a tweaking of the numbers though in the next update. Thanks for the feedback, I'll be looking in to it.

Hurtful but constructive, just my kinda feedback, Thanks. More content can/will be coming later on and the saving problem will be a thing of the past once I get the next update out (Cloud Saves).

Thanks for the feedback. I am collecting data and listening to all the feedback. Next update I'll be having a look at any bottlenecks and seeing if theres anything I can/should do about them.

Thanks for the feedback. Its hard to balance a game between Idle and Active play. Too much of one side and the other is pointless. I'll be looking at the numbers next update though.

We dont actually use cookies, that setting just needs to be turned on to save. Its the same way pretty much every game made in Unity would save. The other options being Local Saves (which people are likely to block cause who wants to give me permission to create files wherever i want) or Cloud Save. Cloud Saves (which require a server, networking code, accounts, etc). Cloud Saves are coming with the next update though.

The game has never had a problem saving in chrome so thats weird. Cloud Saves coming with the next update.

Resets happen once you get an artifact. Theres 20 rocks to break through, then you can reset.

Cloud Saves coming soon.

Thats a new one. I'll have a look in to it and see what I can figure out. Ive left the game on for over a week running in Chrome, so if you wernt, try playing it in Chrome.

Yer, looks like I had the 'old' achievement text still stuck there. The achievement is indeed 'Get a Sword Combo of 100'. I'll update the text for it next update.

I'll have a look at the income from the Disco Ball in the next update as well as the Earthquake machine. Gotta be careful, don't want it too good that people only see value in just waiting for it and not playing.

This isnt something the game can fix, this is settings in Firefox you'll have to change.

I'll update the wording on that once, must have missed it. The achievement should be something like 'Get a Sword Combo of 100'

In the settings there is an option to speed this up. (I might move it to the chest screen next update)

Weird, never seen this. I'll have run the game in this version and see what i can come up with.

There was indeed a little bug with the Losing chest count. Great to hear you had fun. Sad to hear you were able to glitch the game and are leaving us sooner. The game will definitely get some new content at some point, I'll PM you when its ready :D

Oh awesome! Im working on Cloud Saves at the moment for an update, so that should fix up any saving problems for anyone else.

For future reference, 3 is the one that looks like a backwards E and 2 is the one that looks a bit like a snake sitting upright.

Great game!

Hey thanks. Idle Tree was a fun game.

There are several factors as well. All 5 characters scale differently, in the later levels theres an expectation of higher gems earnt so double people boost, cave upgrades, etc. Not sayng the math is perfect, it may be scaled a little to high, may not, but there are a fair few variables that go into calculating it. How this scales is getting a slight tweak in the next update as well.

Man, if there was a Dark Cloud 3 I would be very happy. Unfortunately, they haven't made that one yet, so we are stuck with references from dark cloud 1 and 2.

Fair enough. Check out the Settings, there is an option to turn down the Sound Effects as well as the Music.

The odds of which is about 1 in a million. Congratulations, you never need to work for gems again!

The 10% I mentioned is based on time, not numbers. Its also a loose estimate. Basically I calculated how much CPS you would have at any given tier and based the time around that.
