About the Loading screen
- Why do we need now a loading screen and before not?. Before the update we had much less animations and different buttons. We added more detailed animations, added premade buttons for categories and other things, added better rgaphics and much more. This needs more preloading time of graphics which would cause lags and or waiting times with no window reaction for some or most players. Before the patch the times were vere short and we set them to different windows before start of the game and nearly noone saw that there are loading processes in the background. No with the change we had some delays of 2 or 3 seconds of loading time which looked like a game freeze and some lags at the beginning of the game which were able to cause problems with the asynch. functions. The avoid problems and show players that it is no freeze or lag we added an loading screen were the player can see what the game makes at this point and what happens. The time from start to get ingame is the same as there would not be an loading screen, but the screen itself makes it clearer why there is a little more waiting time. The loading should only need a few seconds (around 5 seconds for most players). If it needs much longer or does not load after the screen please write us in discord or the steam discussion board.
About the crystal autocollecting without pets
- The crystals have now a 10% chance that they are not dropping to the ground and are directly collected into the storage. This improves the idle gameplay possibility on beginning when palyers have no collectors because they get approximately 10% of the crystals also without collecting them or when players are idle and have no collector pet.
About the deletion of the skins:
- We are reworking the complete design and skins. First we make a new design for the default skin and to make sure the player does not get crashes from incompatibility of the upcoming new default skin and the special skills we are deactivating the skins until the remake of them is completed (no eta yet)
About the manual backup system:
- When pressing F1 the game saves the actual state and creates an backup of the files in an extra folder at the save game folder. This savegame will only get overwritten when again pressing F1 and is secure from every automatically used save system.
About the offline gain system:
- The offline system is server time based and is only available when online.
- If you are online the game is syncronising an internal time in specific times and gives a new ressource named SC (Shadow crystals).
- Every SC is worth 1 hour
- When getting offline the game is saving the actual server time and when getting back into the game it syncronises times, calculates the time difference and gives for every full hour and Sc you earn an specific value of ressources.
- The ressources are at the beginning very low but you can increase them with evo upgrades.
- If youa re offline the game does not get the server time and deactivates the online mode (offline in the right upper corner). then you get 0 SC over time and the internal time stamp gets reset. When restarting the game after getting online again the game restarts gaining SC and the offline time gets automatically to 0.
Why server based?
- We have several cheaters on the game and its hard to find much of them. When using the local clock of the computer it would be very easy to cheat with simply changing the computer clock and players would be able to get easy thousands of hours offline gain daily. To stop his possibility it was impossible to stop the offline gain when offline and only making it possible to use online.
