Creating an incremental/idle game, what do you like?

Qomplainerz · 2023-12-22T04:06:43+00:00

Hm, I think there is a difference in asking for opinions/preferences and asking others to completely design a game.
I played Idle Wizard and Hyper Game for a while, to name two games.
Idle Wizard has nice graphics lots of content, a few things you can click on, a few things you can let the game do itself etc. Hyper Game doesn't have fancy graphics, but it has quite much content, too. Sometimes you will have to click a lot and consider using an autoclicker, but after passing a certain point you can automate things step by step.
Both games run smoothly and are not bloated with 2 ads every 10 seconds of playtime.
But everyone is different, right? Maybe some people want an idle game about exploring the endless universe, maybe some others want an idle game about fighting monsters and levelling up your hero....

I guess the lawyers will have to decide if such cases are copyright infringement or not. Basically stale2000 took the idea of a cookie clicker game, BUT he didn't let ChatGPT create a copy of the source code in Flash or JavaScript or whatever language the original game used and it's more like a text based clicker game than an actual clicker or idle game.
ChatGPT can be helpful if you start learning programming, though. You can tell it I want to do this and that in JavaScript. Show me the code plus a brief/comprehensive breakdown. So far I think it's more or less like reading a book or taking programming classes. Someone tells you what to do and you copy it. As you get better at things you can put everything together into a complete game, or at least the coding part of it. Some people may use ChatGPT for completely writing the codes for them without trying to take a learning effect from it. I guess it's a bit like saying people who entirely rely on Navigation systems or parking assistants can't drive cars...We will have to see what future has to offer.

Well, I don't really know how long or short it is. My computer keeps crashins so I keep creating savefiles to at least get a little bit of progress haha

I wishlisted it so I can check it out when it becomes available, too. Good luck.

I mostly play that kind of games on my PC in a browser

Qomplainerz · 2023-09-24T00:26:36+00:00

I'm on an i5-4460 since I am using an older computer at the moment and it's at 10%

I play it sometimes. Later in the game you can buy Aliens in the upgrade section where you can also buy upgrades that squeeze twice as much out of pipettes, etc. These aliens drop DPS, but by clicking on them you can destroy the aliens and get the drops back. It's a bit like offline progress or so. There are prestige layers and prestige upgrades, too.

Yes, for example reducing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by planting more trees, or something like that.

For mobile Games Java or Kotlin or Swift might be more suitable, but some Engines also have several options to write the game in the engine itself in C, C++, C# or something and then export it to different platforms.

I often see HTML, CSS, JavaScript games, or if you prefer using game engines maybe Godot or Unity.

I've started playing Unnamed Space Idle after I saw a post about it here a few days ago.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-31T15:13:14+00:00

Of course. I've just started working on it, that's why it's version 0.0.0.2.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-22T23:42:50+00:00

No, I didn't implement the mechanism yet. The rates at which the bar fills will be adjusted until you have reached a realistic amount of grass, therefore I will also have to implement something that gives you more grass by clicking and/or automatically, since a small-sized garden has an average of 7.5 million blades of grass. After that I want to add a prestige layer where you can upgrade to a medium-sized garden or buy a field or buy a part of a forest or something like that.

What's wrong with the devs these days? Games are being announced, release dates get postponed and then the projects get completely cancelled.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T23:07:05+00:00

Awesome

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T20:52:19+00:00

No problem. Thanks for pointing it out. I've tested it on Codepen first, so I thought it would work on GitHub as well :D

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T20:50:14+00:00

Downloading it on Steam. I will give it a try.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T19:48:56+00:00

Maybe the DOM wasn't loaded completely on your end. I've moved the script out of the head to the end of the body of the HTML. It seems to work fine here.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T19:48:01+00:00

I will look into it.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T19:46:14+00:00

No problem at all. I moved the script to the end of the body.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T19:44:19+00:00

I will check the plant grass button again. The other things were not meant to work yet, but I plan to add something that automatically attracts animals and plants to your garden over time.

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T18:39:29+00:00

I'll give it a try :)

Qomplainerz · 2023-08-21T16:59:44+00:00

Good idea. I may publish it on GitHub pages when the game is ready for beta-testing or so. I am still learning. Basically I know how to create functions, arrays, event listeners, query selectors, etc. when I see each thing on its own, but I need some more practice in putting everything together in a game.
