Hello bosses! There’s a new update available on Steam. We’re focused right now on stability and bugs, so most of these changes will not affect the actual gameplay - but we have gotten your first round of feedback on the current state of the game and we have some great ideas to improve things. Some of the upcoming changes (not in this patch, but future versions) will address many of the core issues. Here’s a shortlist of what we’re looking at:
Slowing down progression so the game is less chaotic
More information and visibility to players for better understanding of output
A completely reworked output calculation formula to standardize facilities and effects
Audio rework
Full balance pass for all facilities
Complete revamp to the Forge and upgrading experience
Further polish and improvement of the Planetarium
Rework to the spell system to make casting more accessible
And much much more! If you have feedback, do let us know - we check everywhere, including Discord, Reddit, and the Steam Forums.
Balance Changes
Motivational Poster
Buff no longer stacks
Buff reduced to 20% output
Supercharged
Now capped to 1 max stack
Metronome
Reduced rank scaling expeditiously
Slot Machine
Removed from item pool, and is now only accessible via the story
Briefcase
Removed from item pool, and is now only accessible via the story
Poker Set
Max rank increased to 5
Psychologist
Max rank reduced to 3
Coffee Machine
Influence pattern changed from cross to single. NOTE - Coffee Machine is now very similar to Subwoofers. We will be adding a new pattern in the future to make the Coffee Machine more differentiated, but 4 separate multifires was a bit overkill.
Pool Table
Rank scaling reduced to 3
Briefcase
Cooldown increased to 8 from 4
General
Level Experience
Added level data from levels 100 to 1000. Level progression is now based on several different curves, and the max credits top out at 1 Vigintillion. We haven’t actually reached this ourselves yet, and we think the current variable setup probably can’t handle it, but we added this for now in case players want to keep their game open beyond Level 100.
Idle Buff
Unlock is possible even if the player selects Annie’s decision early game
