GAME-BREAKING BUG UPDATE: You can actually get it to give you 2-3 Quadrillion a tab-switch (with Midas Touch), if you get 300-400 wizards and demons. There seems to be even a limit to how much this well help you though. I have 6,592 souls now, and it doesn't seem to help with this bug much more than when I only had 1,500. Seems to be mostly dependent on the amount of wizards and demons you have when you have Midas Touch.
if you have 6,592 souls and midas glove, it's probably a rounding error (you are earning 659200% more money than "normal"). I'll keep refining the formula, but there's probably always gonna be a delta because of how floating point numbers work. At the stage you are in, 4 quadrillion is pocket change tho :)

hmm, never mind. I closed the browser and tried to reopen it (the firefox) and couldn't because it told me firefox was running. So I closed it in the task manager, reopened it and it works.
Maybe the server choked XD (we were not expecting this amount of players, this was supposed to be a small side project while we were waiting on some paperwork, and then... well it kind took over our miniature two person studio)

Once I push the update to allow you to use several artifacts at the same time, I'll start working on a data export/import function, so you can backup your progress.

I'm not sure why, but more than once friefox didn't load the game for me. It got stuck on "Talesay" logo (right before the white bars show up).
Hope you'll look into this :)
Our main influences are AdCap and Candy Box, so you are right (I wanted to make my own take on the genre because I like those games a lot. On some distant point in the future I want to make my own take on Pokemon, FFVI, and FFT, but we need to improve our workflow and skills a lot before that happens)

I currently get a 30-40% jump in my cpu usage when playing this game. I think your recent update is causing it since I didn't have this problem before.
Most probably, for the time being it's the only way I had to make the game work when it is sitting in a secondary tab. (each tick, it's testing if more than 1000 milliseconds have elapsed since the last tick, and if it does, it recalculates your money. The problem was that when the game was in a secondary tab, it dropped to 1FPS)
Noticed after the fact, we were torn between using "sedecillion" and "sexdecillion", we settled for "sexdecillion" as it seemed more intuitive, and then when we did the abbreviations and noticed that Lilith costs "1 sex" we decided to keep it :) (yes our sense of humor is juvenile)

I seem to get enormous amounts of money at times when I don't deserve it. Not that I'm complaining, really; just thought you might like to know.
It was a bug related to tab switching, you were getting 1000 times more money than you should (I forgot to divide the milliseconds by 1000, whoops :v )
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you should make it possible to have more artifact at the same time. also, i think the progression curve is way to slow.

when you reset the game it dont reset the prize on the minions soi got skeletons costing 80 k... cant even play now on reset:(
This has happened to a few people, I can't seem to be able to replicate it, we do know that if you reload the window you get the correct prices. (I'm investigating this problem)

To clarify on TheAdmiral's comment, I replicated the bug on my end, but after closing and opening it once more the bug seems to be gone. So it's probably not 100% replicable.

I have to be honest, the fact that the game doesn't progress when the tab isn't in the front, is a real problem. I have been playing for days and getting nowhere, cause I forget to put the tab up front when I go to sleep. And closing it and remembering it to open when I wake up will never happen. Playing in the background is a big deal breaker. Cause right now, that takes idle to a whole new level.

now that i have 1500 souls, and on next reset, i'll have ~3000, i can see that the prices aren't realy great, the game just forces you to reset, so that you could progress faster/further in the next run.

"we are sorry, try using google chrome. your browser is not capable of using localstorage." this is bullshed, i am on chrome -.-"

Found a bug. Everytime I change a tab in Chrome it gives me a billions, like it skips alot of time when changing tabs.

Sept 16: when restarting/returning to the game, the minions do not have their speed bonuses until they've completed one filling of their progress bar. I need to whip them to completion, then the leader & army speed bonuses are turned on.

found a bug: if u switch your browser tap the amount of money increases rapidly! like from 1 million to 5 billion, each tap switch... it comes handy, but isnt really good i think :D

100 times more gold.. soooo good.. the second i could get two souls for reset i did it. it took me about 20 sec to reset again and get 40 souls. maybe a bit broken

a little bug , when i switch tab and switch back on the game tab i loot a large amount of gold :S it's funny but a little cheated ^^
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When you change between tabs, you get a time skip. Several cycles pass and you get extremely large amounts of money very quickly. The fix to inactive tabs may be responsible.
Also happened if you pushed newgame+ and canceled the popup, I had a "off by a thousand" rounding error :v (forgot to divide the milliseconds by a thousand)
It was related to the "inactive tab patch", since i forgot to divide the milliseconds by a thousand. I'm this ' ' close of building my own Date+Time module, the native one doesn't agree with me.

looks like i don't get the real boni from the achievements by the way
for example gives me the boss-achievement only 100% more but i already got the green one and it should be 300%
and i believe it is the same with all ^^"

Because the increase in unit cost is not linear and units max out at 1000, it will always be better to get the midas glove then those other artifacts.

The money making bug only appears for me if I open a new window or tab. Not when I just switch to already existing windows/tabs. I'm using Firefox.
I didn't draw it all my friend, in the game description you can see the public domain, and creative commons art we used and modified. The trick is that we recolored all the art to use the same color palette ( google DawnBringer 32 and you'll find that palette, it's beautiful). Things that we drew, were made in Paint.net

O.O 3 days of playing gone in seconds !
ok so I left the tab ad turned it off and I came back to see how may souls I could get and I have 1 skeleton and nothingelse and I did not even restart

Addendum: It appears that while you're in another tab, the game accelerates at least 100X; probably much higher. I tried to switch tabs quickly to do something, and came back to see my money jump 100s of billions up at a time, again and again, until it settled on 2 trillion. There must be a way to fix this. Other games seem to be able to function with tab use.

GAME-BREAKING BUG: I noticed that I was getting a lot amount of money mysteriously. It would happen occasionally with no warning, but eventually I noticed that I would switch tabs to Youtube and have a lot more money when I got back. Getting suspicious, I tried this several times and each tab switch brought about 100 billion. I went from 15B to 900B by flipping between tabs several times. This is not only extremely exploitable, but for an idle game, it's extremely easy for people to accidentally cause it. I don't know if it happens because of the switch or if the game just "accelerates" when in another tab. I know Flash has a habit of just about stopping dead if it's not in the active tab; that may have something to do with it. Throwing off the game's perception of time.
Reload, you may have been served an older version by your local ISP :) (we can't afford a deal with a CDN at the moment to get instantaneous delivery of the new versions to everyone at the moment)

one thing i would like to make a note of is that the lvl 4 skeleton boss requires 4 billion, and i have 4 billion....but its not letting me purchase the upgrade. it is not a HUGE problem but i would like to see this fixed if it is not too great of a hassle.

Liking it all so far and seeing that you're working on everything thats been reported so no complaints but the one that doesn't seem to have been mentioned is that if say you whip all your dudes on to the point of red and then swap to the bosses tab they wont cooldown whilst i idle on a different page. A minor flaw and again i know its all pretty beta so 5/5 Talesay. A solid contribution to idlers everywhere.

it would seem that i gain 1soul per 100 trillion, i noticed this once i acumulated 5quadrillion, and kept checking till 10Q

i think the price of the 100x gold find needs to be nerfed..... took me 30 sec to get beyond where i was previusly after 1 reset
