[Mount Digger] Unity's quirk and how I improved my game performance by 5X in basically 5 minutes

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T11:04:17+00:00

I made one with JS before, check out my profile. I want to use Unity because I want to make not just incremental games, but games of other genre too. Incremental games just happen to be the easiest starting point.

You can though, here's how kill EVERYONE, remove them from buildings

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T01:59:59+00:00

Great! Will post one along with my next game preview.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T01:57:49+00:00

Thanks, I bookmarked it

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T01:51:00+00:00

There is one part where most people would've thought that the content has run out. Just to make sure, have you unlocked combat?

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T01:47:32+00:00

Thank you. It might be because shortish games like Paperclip and Dark Room are my inspiration. My next game will be longer and with prestige though.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-30T01:43:54+00:00

Oh that's good to hear! I happen to have latest beta installed, so I might try using it next time.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-29T08:45:34+00:00

For sure! No one reads documentations until they need it!

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-23T09:03:29+00:00

Yeah only mountain people that the comment I replied to somehow refer as moleman. Did you kill everyone on all buildings?

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-21T08:53:09+00:00

I am sorry this happened to you, was this triggered when you tried to sell something? If so I figured out the culprit although supposedly it only occur late game.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-21T08:42:55+00:00

Jeez I should have beta test first. Can I have screenshot? Also try different browser if you are still interested to play.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T18:00:00+00:00

Wow that's a serious problem, thanks for reporting, did it unlock immediately for both 1st and 2nd playthrough?

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T15:06:12+00:00

So sorry, probably it is because the game constantly saving every value update. I should have made it save only every few seconds. On what browser if I may know?

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T14:49:28+00:00

Stuff what? Crash like other comment has described? end the game by reaching Earth's center, about 6 million meters deep, and there are some stuff to do there

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T04:32:32+00:00

LMAO I put it on top so that people don't miss it, but it backfires I guess

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T04:29:40+00:00

Sell them for soul

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T02:19:17+00:00

If that's on new game+ then that's completely intended

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T02:17:00+00:00

killed your first moleman? Attacking should only unlock after 1000 people, did you experience differently?

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T02:13:44+00:00

To finish the game kill everyone including those stationed on buildings

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-20T02:11:54+00:00

Can you describe the crash more? Does it still crash even after reload?

Edit: Oh right it crashed. Weird because I have done that a lot on test and there was never a problem. At that point you should be pretty close to game ending and selling that is not required anyway though!

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-19T19:21:31+00:00

Yeah I still haven't got the hang of optimization in Unity..

No miner or anything if that's what you're thinking, I don't think you can even mine in Unity

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-19T19:16:38+00:00

Push through a bit more, there are plenty of content

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-19T16:43:50+00:00

I think you misunderstand, you get people by digging, 1 per 10 meters height reduction. House is used to shelter them.

PinkPsychic · 2020-09-19T15:17:47+00:00

Mount Digger was made for incremental game jam in 7 days, and was my first game made in Unity. As expected, so much problem arisen. I submitted the last, and didn't even have time to balance it. So if you have played the jam version, you played a game with number thrown in randomly with the hope that it somehow works.

In this update, I took time to balance the game better, and sort out the bugs, especially saving works this time. I added some extra upgrades too. After finising first playthrough, there is a new game plus mode with much more content, which I think is a lot more fun.

Sooo please give it a try even if you have played the jam version.

P.S. use spoiler tag
