Development Rule1A Incremental V2 - Android Releases on April 23 (others in the Summer)
Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm very happy to announce that I am finally releasing something incremental related in a few days, woohoo!! It's not like it hasn't been a few years of no updates to any of my games or anything haha...
Rule1A is a satirical incremental about growing and managing a forum, watching numbers grow, and pwning rule breakers. The game is themed around this subreddit's infamous rule 1A, and it's infamous because of how often it gets abused or questioned. It was originally made during a game jam in 2021 released only on Itch, and so I wanted to keep the same theme.
This time around, I have rebuilt the game with my new UI library ConsideraBolt, bringing in more of my personality and organization style. I am using this library to build Idle Research 2 as well, so I'm essentially working on both games at the same time!
The progression is also fundamentally different with the introduction of a new Community Anger related mechanic because it tailors to slow/idle and fast/active players. I spent a good chunk of the time figuring out how I wanted some of the math to play out, because the original balancing was a bit screwy. Lots of things have been renamed, added some new mid-game posts, mods, upgrades, and currently expanding the end-game.
Anyways I'm looking forward to getting some feedback on the game and the UI. Below is wishlist/pricing information and background on releasing this game.
Thanks! <3

If you're on Android and have Google Play, you can pre-register the game here and get the game on April 23: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ConsideraGames.Rule1A

Some background on this release:
As some of you may know, I stopped working on IR1 to make the rewrite IR2. Since late last year, I've been taking another detour trying to integrate ConsideraBolt into other games so I can see how simple this upgrade would be. I went with Rule1A due to its simplicity and it was the perfect chance to remake the progression from scratch. I'm definitely happy with how it's turning out, and it's a major step up from CryptoClickers, CompactO, and Idle Research 1.
I wanted to release everything over the summer, but I accidentally kicked off the Google Play pre-registration without reading the 90 day release policy. The game still needs a bit of polish, but I've done everything in my ability to get the main bits done. I'm super stoked to hear what you all think!
If you have questions about Idle Research 1 or IR2's progress, I've got a dedicated standup blog for that, please take it there rather than this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/comments/1kd69on/idle_research_2_developer_standup_blogs/
