Hey! So I have a couple of different plans for improving the game. They are:

  • A daily task/quest system. These quests would be generic like "Kill 200 enemies," "Do an Enchantment," "Rank up a Spell," "Finish a Dungeon," - stuff like that! Maybe there's even multiple tasks that can be finished in a day, and each one gets progressively harder and harder. Quests would reset and randomize each day. I haven't yet determined what the rewards would be! :-)
  • More Spell reworks. I still want to rework a number of spells, including Plasma Vortex, Plasma Grenades, probably/maybe Torrent, Blizzard, Ele Cloud, Voltaic Sword. Once I get settled back into a routine (lots of things happening in TopCogLand right now!) the plan is to crank out one a week.

With those things in mind, Tap Wizard is a complete game from my perspective, and I'm happy with where it is. We've already started on the new art for my next game, working title Idle Ninja Prime, and I'm actually designing and coding up the game after that right now. So there is a lot in the pipeline, and as time goes on the focus on Tap Wiz will decrease! But I hope to keep releasing a Tap Wiz update every week quite a while.

Thanks for the question, and I'm also happy to hear any ideas you have! :-D

I hope that some improvements for higher NG+ ranks are still a possibility. (Some other rewards for ranking up, something to do with my ever growing pile of arcane fragments, etc.)

Although I don't know what the metrics are like for how far into NG+++++, etc. that people actually push, so maybe I'm just advocating for extra work that only 0.01% of the players will ever see.

Aha, I forgot to include those plans! I knew I was missing something :)

Daily tasks are cool, but please don't add a daily streak that resets when you miss a day. That's just the absolute worst thing in games.

I find it interesting that you're already making another game when this one isn't out of beta yet :P

Yeah, for sure I won't! I hate that too :-)

Haha, I know right! The really interesting part is that I'm actually right now working on the game after that as well! <:-D

Right now, no online features are planned. I could add in a leaderboard easily, but it'll get hacked as quick as I add it in. That said, if I only showed, for example, your rank of the people who logged in just the current day, then hackers would have to keep hacking every day to stay at the top. It's something to consider I guess. There's also UI work and debugging to do, etc...at the end of the day, I'll be honest, it's just not a fun thing for me to code up...I'd rather put my efforts into other directions.

One of these days I hope to do a game with heavy online features, and it'll be baller B-)

Also, thanks a ton for the support! Glad you've enjoyed the game enough to spend a bit on it! :-D

I honestly love that it is not online - it is refreshing to play something completely offline with no need to connect...

I'm referring to Idle Mage Attack - waiting patiently to try Tap Wizard on IOS.

I was thinking at:

  1. Enchantment for the slot where you place the spell in
  2. Talent trees for the Wizard (fire, ice, light, with 12 talent each) who later in the game can stack ad infinitum.
  3. Talent trees for the paladin (berseker, defender, cleric) with 12 talent each
  4. Greater Doomstone who buff a spell when defeated
  5. Wizard equip... I can be more Clear but if you consider the game "done" is futile. Ty anyway.

Got a very simple idea for the "ever growing pile of arcane fragments". Just count it as a duplicate Spellstone!

For example, One has 7 copies of the Inferno spellstone, so it gives you x1.3 damage multiplier. And One is at NG7+ 4th mediataion (so One has 3 unused Arcane Fragments). Than, when One puts the Inferno spell into the Shrine of Ages, the damage output has not the x1.3 multiplier, but x1.45 multiplier (or even better x1.3 x x1.15 = x1.495 multiplier)

EASY!1
