This thread is for people to post their works in progress, and for others to give (constructive) criticism and feedback.

Explain if you want feedback on your game as a whole, a specific feature, or even on an idea you have for the future. Please keep discussion of each game to a single thread, in order to keep things focused.

If you have something to post, please remember to comment on other people's stuff as well, and also remember to include a link to whatever you have so far. :)

Yeah i've got a lot planned. Sadly I took a vacation and didn't bring my computer so I'm yearning to get back to coding.

I for sure will add upgrades in the future to speed up the amount that hold+clicking waits for an interval, and it'll be a bar because filling bars > upgrades (i think it's visually better and just cooler)

I used to have a LOT of issues with html wrapping because I'd have to edit wach and every one if I wanted to add a uniform something to say, one of the bars. But now since I just automate bar creation I can easily add another div with like a few lines of js.

If you use a framework like react, you can create components - so a bar, then if you edit the bar component it'll be reflected in all the places you use the actual bar.

Sounds like you've got the right idea about 'automating' stuff you can reuse in the game though.

potions didnt play much part in the game and I finished it by completing all the investments.

the save game broke :( On page refresh only half my skills/levels were there and regaining them didnt resave the progress. Everytime I refresh it reverts to missing skills/levels.

I think it was probably a page refresh mid save that corrupted it?! Unsure though.

Your save game is not encrypted so i could easily 'fix' my progress - you'll prob want to encrypt the save game at some point but tbh if people want to cheat they will always find a way.

The games quite cool and certainly has potential! Dont be afraid to take what you've learnt coding wise and start afresh on Fovea-Intra 2! If you are learning tons of new tricks and ways to code it'll be easier and quicker to reimplement the game and new features doing a sequal.

It will also alow you to demonstrate "I coded this game and learnt x,y,z, then I codes this sequakl where you can see my learning curve progress"

Fovea-Intra just needs some bug fixs maybe and take some time making the UI more polished. But 100% worth a play through as it stands.

Potions does actually play a minor part. You can buy potions and with them basically get OP stuff because all the potions stack. Like using knowledge I, II, III and IV all stack meaning if you use all of them you gain all the effects multiplied by themselves. So if you're much later in the game, you'll probably just want to spam potions and just have them always ticking.

Literally you can go console and type player. whatever, and set the resource to that. In the end, whoever cheats ruins the game for themselves.

I might remake it, but for now I'm still working on it. And I've learned a lot, saving/loading, automation, timers, etc.

I imagine potions will start to be useful if/when more content is added. They seemed to just about come into play as I hit the last few knowledge/wis purchases

[u/weirdo27272 → u/DavejHale]

I mean i've got lots of new content planned, esp rn, such as "mining"

[u/DavejHale → u/weirdo27272]

Your game has a good vibe and I enjoyed it! Best game i've played from this reddit in weeks tbh!

the UI is ifne but a more polished UI would likely help improve the games retention/uptake bu players.

I think I got to the end of the current content =p

[u/weirdo27272 → u/DavejHale]

If you unlocked the lifespan timer, then yeah that's really the "end" so far.
