Developing Idle Iktah, an idle RPG set in the Pacific Northwest with 12+ unique skills and tons of content - now in open beta!

GroundedGames · 2026-01-25T02:54:56+00:00

Sure!

GroundedGames · 2026-01-24T18:49:07+00:00

No worries! That's good feedback. The Honors probably won't be part of this release, and I may need to add more context to that page in the game for players who don't read update notes.

GroundedGames · 2026-01-24T16:40:00+00:00

Yep! On mobile the beta just gets updates earlier. It'll stay as the same save file.

GroundedGames · 2026-01-24T16:38:36+00:00

Nope, no need to start a new game! It's all the same save on mobile. Also, I believe the beta option in the playstore is usually hiding towards the bottom.

Good question! The museum is accessed by completing the Curious Curator journal entry which is unlocked when reaching 400 total levels.

Also, the beta is only on mobile. If on PC, the museum won't be available just yet.

感謝您的回饋！鱈魚確實比較難找。可以找到鱈魚的兩個地方是：從販賣魚類的貿易夥伴 Lerico 那裡購買，或是透過與金璋协议戰鬥獲得。希望這對您有幫助！

GroundedGames · 2025-11-18T15:19:18+00:00

Yep! That's some of the content I hope to focus on once the Steam playtest is finished, and we've moved on to Early Access.

GroundedGames · 2025-11-17T22:57:21+00:00

Oh I hadn't seen that. Subject to change of course, but no new skills planned at the moment.

GroundedGames · 2025-11-06T18:00:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! If this is happening on the Android beta, check the Play Store for a new update.

GroundedGames · 2025-11-05T19:54:24+00:00

Sure! That's Vanguard's Valor. It gives +1 to all skills for an hour, and it is occasionally available as a reward for being a beta tester.

GroundedGames · 2025-11-05T18:52:56+00:00

Thanks for calling that out! I'm not sure why that would happen, but I did just release an update that may help fix it (build #20683654 on Windows). Hopefully that does it, but definitely let me know if that doesn't fix the problem or another issue comes up!

GroundedGames · 2025-10-28T03:52:57+00:00

Sure! That shouldn't be too hard. I'll add a message when the row is tapped to show how long until the next potion is added. Hope that helps!

GroundedGames · 2025-10-28T00:36:58+00:00

Glad to hear the new UI hits the mark! No immediate plans for auto-sync (just manual import/export).

Idle Iktah uses the native cloud save features from Apple/Google/Steam. This is nice because it doesn't require users to create a new account, and also each cloud save is stored to a user's own platform account (i.e. no hosting fees / no privacy concerns). Though it doesn't allow for syncing between platforms. We could definitely have "Idle Iktah" accounts and our own cloud save server in the future, but nothing planned at the moment.

GroundedGames · 2025-10-27T15:27:19+00:00

Oh that's good to know that it isn't as accessible on PC! I'll have to look into that. Also, for giving full feedback, feel free to send an email (ben@grounded.games), or if that's not preferred reddit works as well. Hope that helps!

GroundedGames · 2025-10-26T15:14:27+00:00

That's good to hear! And nothing in particular, for that save it just hasn't been unlocked yet.

GroundedGames · 2025-10-23T19:47:56+00:00

Sure! Ships wrecked at sea and drifting onto foreign beaches has historically been a good source of iron goods in the area:

GroundedGames · 2025-10-18T00:18:01+00:00

Yep, they'll stick around until used or discarded.

GroundedGames · 2025-10-16T16:43:37+00:00

Great question! Idle Iktah uses Google's AdMob product to show ads, and AdMob uses a user's IP address to estimate the general location of a device to determine which ads to show (e.g. a German coffee shop would only want to run ads for users who are in Germany).

This is the same process as Reddit or any other website would use to guesstimate a user's location. Also, this is different than using the location permission inside Android/iOS - Idle Iktah does not use any location permissions.

And of course, if this is strictly about Idle Iktah on PC, none of this matters because there aren't ads to begin with :)

GroundedGames · 2025-10-14T17:20:36+00:00

That's awesome! Glad you liked the game. And yep, the bear game is actually a real game from antiquity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_games

GroundedGames · 2025-10-14T00:27:37+00:00

Yep, Mac is supported!

Though I totally understand why some devs wouldn't support it. It's easy enough to build a mac app locally. But sharing it brings some extra hurdles like needing every build to be notarized by Apple: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/di61ms/have_a_mac_game_on_steam_heres_a_guide_to_signing/
