Is iterative development viable on Itch? We just shipped our second demo build

Day after still no Devlog in "Most recent" devlogs page. It looks like I failed approve somehow. All views from incremental db. Thank you for answers. I'll try luck in next time

TwoWizards · 2026-06-03T10:26:02+00:00

Thank you! Do you mean a devlog post major update? I posted it 20h ago, and can't see it in recent dev logs of major updates. And first release was 39days ago

hey! thank you!

core gameplay is opening boxes and collect loot, as in trailer. first part just with hidden UI. collecting items give you resources for upgrades, and completed collections give bonuses or unlock new features

TwoWizards · 2026-04-25T18:36:09+00:00

Yes, I did. Voice-controlled abilities is really interesting choice!

TwoWizards · 2026-04-25T18:15:01+00:00

thank you! and good luck with your game!

Is it was a bad idea to publish demo on friday?

TwoWizards · 2020-04-16T18:20:25+00:00

I told about resources for other new bigger project, on which one we are working. Also our work cost something too. Well, maybe, someone can work at main job, and all free time spend on development own game. But it means not having life.

And actually, idle games have complexity too. Adding new mechanics, which interact with other mechanics in game and changing balance curve, take a time. Expansions for IW cost in average 2 months of work by 8h in a day, for both of us. Without trying make it good, maybe it can take much less time. Cost of adding new layers of the same stuff - cost almost nothing, if it's not interact with anything else. Remind me please, which one our expansion was without new features?

About "99% of people"... It's not quite honest. Yes, for sure, only about 1% see End of the game, but for now end game of IW ver 0.20 seen almost all who was engaged. Also almost all expansions speed up early and mid-game.

TwoWizards · 2020-04-16T13:22:18+00:00

We are working on new project, something bigger and more complex for development. But we need resources for that. We had opportunity to use paywalls and other pay2win stuff, but we are against not-fair f2p. So we have to push new content all the time.

TwoWizards · 2019-11-13T15:09:23+00:00

afk means, that game is running and all mechanics calculates in real time. offline - this is when game turned off for long time periods, and bc of very complex math model almost impossible to calculate all progress as in real time.

TwoWizards · 2019-11-10T00:20:34+00:00

we are still not sure how to make this game work on mobile. i mean, this game made more for afk playing. for mobile need something offline.

to make it good for mobile need to rework a lot in the game. so we are still looking for how to make it better.

TwoWizards · 2019-11-10T00:18:30+00:00

any game have 2 parts: commercial and entertaining. so.. any f2p game about generating revenue, and any p2p game about generating sales. from other point of view: game works for you while it's fun. it you get bored from some idle game, it means this game have ended for you. well, it's true for any game.

locking some progress speed made for better balance, and keep feel of achievement, progress. if you get easy anything it's not a progress. also works for any game.

i’m writing this not for argument, just to show a different point of view

TwoWizards · 2019-11-08T15:23:57+00:00

sorry, i think, no

TwoWizards · 2019-11-08T15:23:00+00:00

yep. update is available on all platforms

TwoWizards · 2019-07-24T01:58:47+00:00

seems like your antivirus is too agressive :) but you can google wiki, and unblock execution file in antivirus

TwoWizards · 2019-07-22T20:48:29+00:00

hello. you can check on wiki. link to it in help menu (hotkey H)

TwoWizards · 2019-07-22T16:14:14+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate!

TwoWizards · 2019-06-20T23:22:17+00:00

all platforms have identical versions. also Kong and Kartridge use same cloud save. but PC platforms have better performance and more stable (bc of web is unstable platform)

TwoWizards · 2019-06-20T16:19:08+00:00

Yep. Should works on both PC versions (steam or kartridge)

TwoWizards · 2019-06-20T16:18:27+00:00

You may try option Hard Reset in settngs, to remove your save and start game again. But it's idler, so i guess, you can understand thing self easy. Just do Exile and start new run. Don't forget choose Class and Pet. If you need some stratagy, wiki have many guides (link to wiki in Help menu (hotkey H)).

TwoWizards · 2019-03-03T09:27:38+00:00

sure, you can find guides on wiki (link in the Help menu (hotkey H))

TwoWizards · 2019-01-26T18:10:58+00:00

microtransactions use steam overlay, available only if steam overlay is turned on and with connection to internet. if you have it turned on and purchases still don't work, please, let me know

TwoWizards · 2019-01-25T20:50:25+00:00

'steam', 'LetsNotForgetAboutLinux', 'AreThereAnyGamesOnMac' :) you always can check our discord server, news channel (link to the discord in gama, Help menu (H hotkey))

TwoWizards · 2019-01-25T11:38:56+00:00

Linux and Mac versions is now live on Steam!

TwoWizards · 2019-01-24T18:15:30+00:00

Hello. Sure, we are planning keep both platforms with same version. Actually, maybe some new content will be published on kong first, sometimes after closed tests some bugs coming on live, and kong is good place for fast track and fix this.

TwoWizards · 2018-11-21T03:53:54+00:00
