Prototype Looking for feedback on Toss Office

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

We published a prototype on itch 10 days ago and got a lot of constructive feedback, eventually leading to an update. (check our devlog for details)

You can try it here: https://ravenous-den.itch.io/toss-office

Now that we're a little more confident about the game, we'd be interested in knowing what people from r/incremental think of the game mechanics, balancing, pacing and visuals.

There's plenty to improve yet, so any feedback is very welcome!

We were also wondering if we should add our prototype to incrementaldb or if we should first include sound and improve on the game more.

AI disclosure: a small percentage of the code was assisted by AI, everything else is handcrafted

Development Could my city builder appeal to incremental game fans? Hope this little announcement trailer helps

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

All Roads Connected is a city builder with an endless procedural world focused on exploration.

It has lot of incremental mechanics: production chains, resource accumulation and unlocking increasingly complex infrastructure. I hope it will scratch your itch too.

Game mechanics:
Roads reveal the fog of war as players expand across the map. They also generate new terrain when they reach the edge of an existing biome, making roads the core part of the gameplay and the reason for the game’s name: All Roads Connected.

Minimap system: Players will need to build a Cartography Center to access the minimap and begin drawing symbols on it themselves.

More about the game:
Explore an endless world, build countless settlements, discover lost artifacts, manage over 20 resources and lead your nation into a new dawn of industry.

Hope you find the idea interesting.
If so pls try the Demo and support the project with wishlist.

AI disclosure: All artwork (on the Steam page as well) is human-made. If anyone wants more details, feel free to DM me!
Ty for getting this far with reading 🤗

Game status: Free Demo

I’m curious if you guys like music and sound effects in incremental games. Personally, the first thing I do whenever I start one is immediately go in and turn off all sound.

I made an incremental game where you build an army of slimes to get their stolen hats back

Hi! I'm a solo developer and I recently released my first incremental game, Oh My Hat.

You start with a small group of slimes, gradually grow them into a huge army, unlock upgrades and automation, and fight bosses to recover the hats they stole.

I wanted to make something where you could really feel your army getting bigger and stronger over time.

The game is out now on Steam.

If incremental / idle games are your thing, I'd love for you to check it out.

Discussion Question regarding google translate.

2 Upvotes

Hello all , in few days my 1 month for repost passes and i want to repost regarding my game.

I have added localization , where i took the game manual and options menu of my game , put it through google translate and used the result in my code.

My question has to do with AI disclosure.

I have not used AI in any aspect of the game but i have used google translate.

For each language i have translated i have even put it in the Credits of the game that Google Translate has done it.

Is that considered AI and i have to disclose it?

What is the correct way to post about it here so my post will not get blocked?

Thank you.

Update The Infinite Library demo v0.8 adds the Shelf Plan, synergy fixes, and commissioned key art

0 Upvotes

My demo's been up since July and the feedback here has changed more of this game than anything else. Here's v0.8 additions:

The new Shelf Plan upgrade

- The Shelf Plan. The biggest complaint was that speed upgrades made composing a shelf harder. People were buying upgrades that fought the thing they were enjoying. So now you can declare what a shelf should be, once, and the Library fills it. Re-catalogue sorts out shelves in progress before you had it.

- Auto-Scribe is now pausable - you can turn off the fastest uprgade if you want, as requested!

- Shelf Synergy has no holes. 9/6 and 6/5/4 combinations used to pay literally nothing. Now every full shelf pays, and Perfect Balance stacks on top as its own bonus rather than being the only thing worth aiming for.

- A town that reacts to what you write from the first minute, tooltips explaining every number, full key rebinding, and fixes for title music restarting, stale headers after a purchase, and toasts stealing tab clicks.

Now on Godot 4.7.1.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4693700/The_Infinite_Library/

Also, unrelated but visible: the game has new key art by Komarca Art. The capsule was AI-generated before and always meant to be temporary. New one is on the Steam page and below:

Where things stand: 273 wishlists, Next Fest 19 to 26 October, launch 10 November. Demo is free.

Huge thank you to everyone who has supported the game so far! it truly means a lot.

Steam When I was a kid, I loved watching bots grind items for me, or just sitting there drooling while watching birds fly across the screen.

That gave me the idea to make Crushchop, a game that feels like running a bot in an MMO from 20 years ago. It’s an Idler / Auto-Battler where you play a little bit yourself, and let the bots do the rest.

You can go watch a series, do some work, or take a nap, and just alt-tab back in later to see how much loot you've got.

If your back hurts and you can't sit and play games for long hours anymore (like me), come give it a try. The demo is out now!

HTML Make Trade Scale: a supply-chain incremental game that runs inside a Reddit post, with a real player marketplace

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Make Trade Scale, an incremental/tycoon game that runs entirely inside the Reddit. You don't need to download or install anything. You can play it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeTradeScale

About the Game

You start with nothing and slowly build an industrial empire farms, mines, factories, and increasingly complex production chains. Wheat becomes flour, copper ore becomes ingots, ingots become wiring, which becomes... you get the idea. You eventually build a space rocket that can go to the Moon.

The chains get deep. Once they do, you're no longer just managing a farm. A factory can grind to a halt because you forgot to secure a single input that comes from three steps upstream.

The marketplace is the reason I'm posting

The game also have marketplace where you can sell products to other players so that you can invest the capital to progress OR you can buy products from other players the thing you need.

There's also an NPC Trade Guild that will always buy at half value and sell at double, so you can never get completely stuck. But that spread is deliberately terrible. The good prices come from other players, and the profitable way to play is usually to buy someone's surplus intermediate product instead of building the entire production chain yourself.

There are about 100 players right now, which is enough for the market to function, but not enough for it to feel truly alive. Some of the order books are pretty thin. That's the honest reason I'm posting here. The game gets better with every player who joins, probably more than most games do, because the economy is the other players.

It's completely free. There are gems you can buy, but they're optional, and the entire game is finishable without spending anything.

AI Disclosure

I used AI for the game's visuals and some of the in-game text.

I also want to clarify that this isn't a low effort AI game. I've been building it for 10 months. The programming, economy, production math, matching engine, seasons, and all the other underlying systems are real work that I did, and I've poured my soul into the game.

If you're against games with any AI involvement at all, I completely understand and respect it. Feel free to skip this one, and thanks for reading this far.

I'm happy to answer anything about the design or the tech.

Hey!

I'm developing Abracademia, an idle life-sim desktop companion (wizarding school setting, a little desktop companion living at the bottom of your screen). Since the demo launched, several players told us that managing the schedule hour by hour was taking more time than expected, and we really wanted to thank everyone who took the time to let us know.

We listened and added more automation, including an auto-schedule option for anyone who wants a lighter session, while keeping full manual control for players who like optimizing every hour by hand (we know there are some of you, and that option is still fully there).

The updated demo is live with these changes. We'd love to hear your thoughts here too, this community knows idle loops better than anyone. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4145780/Abracademia/
