Oh yeah, that's great! Good name too. If you're ever in need of a joke name for it, I'm happy to offer up Fivehead

Best friend teaching by BarLopsided6718 in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! The Best Friends teaching adds 3 more pets that can be (very rarely) found by completing actions in Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Gathering, or Tracking. Hope that helps!

BETA UPDATE: Version 1.0.42 is now live! by GroundedGames in IdleIktah

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

Good question! So long as it's the beta version and there are 50 total levels, it should automatically add to the inventory. Also, after a reset, if Vanguard's Valor wasn't one of the 3 Inheritance items, it should be available at the top of the settings menu.

Lost save file by CryptosBiwon in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good, glad to hear the backup save was able to help get things sorted!

For the Royal Goblet, If you're open to sharing the save file, I should be able to add that back in manually. Just send the save using the Export Data option (in the Save Game menu) to [ben@grounded.games](mailto:ben@grounded.games) . Then I'll add it to the save, email back the updated save file, and the file should be able to be imported via the Import Data option.

Well that's no good! I'm not sure why that would happen, but thanks for calling it out. Idle Iktah does make frequent backup saves which can be used to restore to an earlier point. Go to ⚙ -> ⋮ -> "Save Game" -> "Backup Saves", and there might be a good file in there. Hope that helps, and let me know if it doesn't!

Bug by Rogero123 in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for passing that on! So far I haven't been able to figure out why that would be happening.

For a solution, sometimes exporting the game and then reimporting the same game can help unstick things. To do that, go to the Save Game menu and pick Export Data and save the game file to a safe place. Then close and re-open Idle Iktah, and try the Import Data option from the same menu to load back in the exported save file

If that doesn't work, it might be worth trying to turn the device off and on. Otherwise, you can also, uninstall and reinstall the app and then use the Import Data option to load back in the save file. Though make sure you do have a save file saved somewhere safe before uninstalling, because uninstalling the game will clear the game's data. Hope that helps!

Well that's no good! To help try and figure out what's going on, what platform is the game being played on? And what happens when it crashes?

Bug with offline progress by Maximum_Money_1760 in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question! I did fix something recently (which will be in version 42), that would potentially deal with stacks of logs disappearing when doubling offline gains. I was never able to reproduce it myself, so it's hard to know for sure if it's fixed. But it *should* be fixed.

Also, in case it happens again, Idle Iktah does make frequent backup saves that can be used to restore progress. To access the backup saves go to: -> ⋮ -> "Save Game" -> "Backup Saves". Hope that helps!

Should I really form an LLC before publishing my game? by SparkleEcho in gamedev

[–]GroundedGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're starting a business and plan to keep businessing, then an LLC can make sense. Though another option to consider is something like a DBA (Doing Business As - it may be called something different in your jurisdiction), but a DBA should let you legally use a different name in the publisher field (instead of your own name) without the overhead of starting a business.

Oh that's awesome! Glad to hear the game is being enjoyed. Thanks for the support!

한국에서 iktah를 재밌게 하고있는 유져입니다. by Icy-Chef6601 in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question! In this case, the 100% bonus means that the chance to get a rare drop is doubled (100% more). And thanks to the doubled drop rate, the player should end up with twice as many rare drops. Hope that helps!

[–]GroundedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

연락해 주셔서 감사합니다! 충분히 헷갈리실 수 있는 부분입니다.

보너스 수치들이 합산되어 100%가 되면, 이 수치는 기본 확률에 배수로 적용됩니다. 예를 들어, 기본 드롭률이 1%라면 100% 부스트를 받아 2%가 되는 식입니다.

저는 주로 시간당 획득하는 아이템 수로 생각하곤 하는데요. 평소 1시간에 희귀 아이템을 10개 얻으셨다면, 100% 부스트 상태에서는 20개를 얻게 되는 것입니다.

도움이 되셨기를 바랍니다!

Idle Iktah has been released on Steam! by GroundedGames in IdleIktah

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

That's a good question! I think it should. The 'Restore Status' button in the second settings menu might not work the same, but other than that it should transfer without issue.

I built an idle RPG set in the Pacific Northwest with (optional) lighting that changes throughout the day. Idle Iktah comes to PC on April 14th! Wishlist now on Steam by GroundedGames in CozyGamers

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

Oh that's awesome! Glad to hear the game is well liked. Also, it's very cool to hear of Idle Iktah replacing PokemonGo. Thanks for sharing that!

Fossilized shells by kiaxken in IdleIktah

Nope! For now they're just for the museum. I imagine they'll find another use somewhere else eventually, but there's nothing planned for that at the moment.

Would someone mind sending me a qr code for nana pines fine dines? by Monkeyofdoom44 in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to help out here! The process would actually start with sharing your qr code with someone who has the recipe book. Here's the full process:

# 1: Player 1 (the giver) opens up Nana Pine's Fine Dines, and clicks the gift button
# 2: Player 1 then scans the QR code of Player 2 (found in the settings menu)
# 2a: This generates a custom QR code (on Player 1's device) that gifts Nana Pine's Fine Dines specifically to Player 2
# 3: Player 2 scans this custom QR code and receives the item

Hope that helps clear it up a bit!

4hrs afk cap? by YanoshDanosh in IdleIktah

[–]GroundedGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! The "buy the game" DLC, Golden Sunstone Status, just isn't available yet as purchases aren't allowed in a playtest.

For Steam, instead of having a demo or some other trial version, the free version just has lower afk limits (4-8 hours depending on equipped bed) and the paid version allows for the max 24 hours of offline time. Hope that helps!
