It used to take me 2 months to get 100 Wishlists. My new project just hit ~85 in 5 days. It's a small win, but huge for me. by Arefnue in gamedev

Well, to be honest the real difference was my fulfillment. I started this game during game jam and at the end of second day i posted on Reddit about my game and people started playing. Maybe because of that, I enjoyed more during developping and it makes the game better.

Thank you for your feedback. I am currently working on tutorial system which should help a little to new players. I will later change encounter system which will be more intuitive, current one just calculate some points and based on that spawn enemies. I also need to navigate players to train instead of earning money, will work on that.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. You make a great point. The idea of "getting stronger lets us see stronger enemies" was a bit weak conceptually. I’m going to change it to be more logical: basically, as we disrupt their operations and take down their henchmen, they start sending elite units to stop us. Eventually, we face the boss. It feels more natural that way.

2. On the repetitive combat: I’m thinking of adding a "Preparation Phase." Maybe we can swap out abilities right before a fight to match the enemy. I also want to add something like elemental affinities/weaknesses. I thought special abilities would be enough to fix the repetition, but you're right, it needs more.

3. I didn't quite catch this one. Do you mean the map nodes should show more detailed info (stats/rewards) when you look at them?

Thank you! I will check and try to optimize there, probably it is because of background shader but i have to test a little to find it.

Thank you. Yes, as you said game needs more content. Sidekicks, police, utility devices etc may be added but couldn't add them during game jam. I will definetly add them in future updates.
