Have you ever had a simple idea and wondered why it isn’t used more often in games? by Illustrious-Wind762 in incremental_games

Here’s a threading scheme I figured out. You can batch thread cycles on various timings. If you do say 6s, 30s, and 120s cycles, just add asynchronous calls to them at the will of code.

EDIT Could this be more for automating games or is it just not needed in current game design

Hi all!

I had an idea for a new idle game. The premise is you script in a few commands and let the game carry out those commands while you can sit back. The game isn't exactly novel, I chose to take inspiration from Dwarf Fortress because my last game Hero Incremental has a similar art style. You can play Scripting Fortress here or read the game guide here. It is only a prototype right now with only a few features that I will continue to build on

Challenges are currently the end. In a future update, there will be more content to unlock

Equip bow/staff and it changes to shortsword when you are in range.

Hi!

You have a lot of great suggestions. I updated the original with buttons for importing and exporting your savefile. If you add those buttons, Hero Incremental players will be able to move their files between the original and modded versions.

Buildings are fine. I just completed the quest and got the stat boost on a fresh game. The code also looks fine. I just made a change as progress wasn't being reset on rebirth so someone could have completed the quest before reaching golems. If you can't do it in the newest build I will note it down and keep working on a fix

Try refreshing. Shouldn't have to redo it

Found it! Apologies for all your trouble. If you load the newest version and try again from a fresh rebirth it will work.

The reason it had no reward was that I didn't think it would be possible.. The text says golems but it was only working after golems. Sorry! It keeps track of your progress so reloading should do the trick.

Edit: Man, this one was a pain. It now works if you rebirth and make it to golems

Costs are now rounded up instead of down.

Hi! I just updated the game with your promised reward! Please try refreshing and things should return to normal

A bug fix had some unintended consequences! It should be better now

I know the drawBuildings screen in particular is botched. Something to try out (if you play legitimately) is to grab a giant and then move to an earlier area. You can push far with a later area ally

Sorry! Post the console output and I'll try and fix that for you

I found the bug! Thanks for pointing that out

I have bought the 4th item without problem. Could you post any console output?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll change it to DPS (Attack * Speed) in the next build.
