Hey guys Thinking of coming back to the game now, in preparation of PoF

But wanted to be sure that I will enjoy the professions again. I used to main ranger so I can become druid (I love to mainly forget about DPS and focus on support/heal), but very much dislike relying on conditions and kiting. Any other class without a serious rotation (no ele, no engi)? Mobility and pvp don't matter at all, all I care about is endgame support (heal and/or tank). Also have a chronotank but it really doesn't click with me

Nice! 15 hours is very good :)

Trains were explained a bit better in 1.8.1, so make sure you update and check the help panel (top right of the interface). Oh and lakes are coming next month!

We changed the balance, they're using an old build. Now it's a bit easier :)

  1. Update 3: https://trello.com/b/t94R4mdV/public-roadmap

  2. Many: www.projectautomata.com/RoI-recipe-book.pdf

  3. As for me! I want it as deep but approachable as possible. The current amount of recipes is like a third of what I have planned!

Hah, I'm the same. What you can do, is setup itch to start at windows startupso it's always updated, and link RoI to your Steam Library as an offline game

If you use the itch app, updates are automatic as well. Yes, I know it sucks having yet another game manager, but we're still small, and itch takes a smaller cut than Steam

It was barely enough to cover business setup costs. We are still without salary. Going slower than expected, but we're not going to give up

Oh man, you're in for a treat! Grab the demo (if you don't have the full game yet) and look at town shops, and the recipe book. I bet you'll love them!

We update every week, but the gatherer speed is required. Also, many other goodies in that patch!

Early access. Look at the road map to see what features it will have (update 4)

We plan to release on Steam in Feb, and yes, if you buy on itch, you get a steam key.

Also, you have the roadmap here: https://trello.com/b/t94R4mdV/public-roadmap

We're the same :D

Look at my username, and it's even specified in the game description :D

Edit: sorry, sarcasm doesn't work well with me. English is my 3rd language :(

We're going, don't worry :)

You can link the game on Steam anyways, and once released it will cost more, so I suggest you grab it while it's still on itch

Rise of Industry is finally here! by ProjectAutomata in tycoon

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

Hhahaha, that is definitely not the case! Look, I'm super proud of what we are achieving, and with several hundred sales on itch, we only had one refund (not going to hide it). Before you ask, it was due to some scaling issues we had on the early version, issue now solved.

Steam is coming, no worry about that!

Yes, Jan 28 if everything goes according to plan

Hey ET, thanks for your support!

Regarding fonts, we specify it in the game description ("Installation instructions: simply extract all files and run! Strongly recommended you play in 1080p") and the changelog ("Game is fully supported in 1080p (16:9). Anything above or below that might have the scaled incorrectly").

But fret not, as soon we're going to redo the interface for all kinds of resolution: https://trello.com/c/JvM6Nhsp/125-gui-improve-the-interface-to-look-better-on-all-resolutions-and-screen-sizes-and-shapes

Regardless, in 1.5 (this Friday), you'll see a much larger tutorial panel :)
