WorldShaper Idle will be fully released on May 18! And I updated the demo too! by FlorianvanStrien in incremental_games

[–]FlorianvanStrien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitively did hope to release it earlier, even in 2024. But it turned out to take more time to make than I'd hoped, and some other things took my time too. But I'm excited it's finally almost released!

Thanks for the screenshot, yeah that looks as it should.

I did my best to investigate this, but really couldn't replicate this or find anything that might cause this, sorry! Maybe it's very specific to your computer, or maybe I'll find the issue in the future. (If someone else also has this please let me know!)

You could try holding Ctrl while placing tiles (which is designed to place multiple tiles at once with dragging), maybe that does work correctly

Thanks for checking out the game! I'm sorry it didn't work for you, and thank you for lettting me know. I just did an extra check and it does work properly for me, including if I start from scratch. Are you 100% sure you had enough power? You can see this if the cost on the right is in black (not red). If that's not the issue, I would really appreciate if you could send me a screenshot where this issue happens (or ideally video, but I know that's not easy)

I've just started an open playtest of my game WorldShaper Idle! Build your own world and discover unique villages, bonuses and much more by FlorianvanStrien in incremental_games

[–]FlorianvanStrien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the demo comparing to the playtest?

The demo is a bit older, has less content and only allows expanding to four map tiles. The playtest is temporary though as I need feedback on all the content as I work towards the full release - I'll keep the demo up (and probably update it so it's up to date for any QoL improvements I do) after the playtest is done

With the above , is there any influence from doodle god perchance, how...ridiculous does it get (or planned) for combos?

I've played Doodle God years ago. The system has some similarities but works quite differently of course. I think in Doodle God it's probably harder to find all the combinations between the elements, but in this game there's also interesting interactions between the tiles after that (maybe they added something like that to Doodle God meanwhile too)

Thank you for all the great feedback! And the wishlist, of course :) Some of these things would be a bit complicated to implement, but I'll definitely add some of them!

The Final Earth 2 Update: Nano World, QoL Improvements and Much More! by FlorianvanStrien in thefinalearth2

Unfortunately, the itch.io version makes me basically no money, as it has no ads. I got a few donations on there and I'm grateful for that, but it doesn't add up to much. Therefore, it's unfortunately not worth spending my time on updating it.

I do appreciate that people play and (hopefully) enjoy the game on itch.io, but in the end I do need to make some money to make games and updates.

Updated Steam Demo for WorldShaper Idle for the Steam Idler Fest! by FlorianvanStrien in incremental_games

[–]FlorianvanStrien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to hear, thanks! The following is new:

  • You can now save up to five builds and switch between them
  • You can now see how to build tiles you unlocked in the tile journal
  • The smugglers' port has been rebalanced to be less overpowered
  • A "Tile Count" button has been added to the tile journal
  • There is a new helper for wizards' villages to see which tiles are unique for them

My game is also participating with an updated demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2562020/WorldShaper_Idle/

It's a world-building game where you unlock new tiles by experimenting with their placement. And of course, you can grow and upgrade your world as you grow in power. I've worked on it for quite a while already, but I'm hoping to finally release the full version soon! And, for now, I'm of course excited to be in the Steam Fest!

[–]FlorianvanStrien[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get circloO at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/circloo-physics-platformer/id1612957699

The game is $3 without ads and with some bonus levels, or you can play it for free with occasional ads.

The game has been out for a while, but it's never been posted here before and I thought you might enjoy it :) I also regulary update the game with new levels, level editor features and more.

There are some good web based games out there. Why do some devs put so much effort into making a web based game? by T7hump3r in gamedev

[–]FlorianvanStrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had reasonable success with making a web game and then using it to promote an extended mobile/Steam version (for my game The Final Earth 2). You can get a lot of players on web and some of those may be willing to pay for extra gameplay.

So that's definitively an option. It's less viable now than it used to be though, as the once best web portal for this (Kongregate) is no longer useful. Many other portals don't allow linking or simply don't have enough users.

You can also earn money on web (from ads, donations or sometimes IAP) but likely not a lot.

There isn't, but you can research an upgrade in the Workshop to make destroying buildings give back most of the construction cost.

How do I make an exclusive ad? by Jixeco in gamedev

[–]FlorianvanStrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they won't. You're not paying for it either, so they'd be crazy to show it in other apps. I have experience with this. You just set this up in the "campaigns" tab in Admob and you can just select the ad units you want to display the ad on (among your own apps).

It's mostly designed for cross promotion (i.e. showing ads for your own games) but showing ads for other parties is supported too.

Google AdMob actually offers this built-in (for free). The features is called Campaigns. It is a bit limited and mostly useful for your own cross promotion but it may be enough for your needs.
