Free Template - One Color Idle Game

Nice work, pleasantly addictive as is the genre :)

Did you make a spreadsheet to figure out the costs, levels, timers, etc.?

Thank you Mikal :)

I haven't done many precise calculations. I followed the tips in this article: https://gameanalytics.com/blog/idle-game-mathematics.html or https://blog.kongregate.com/the-math-of-idle-games-part-i/

I have used, very partially, these spreadsheets (the excel version):

I also wrote a postmortem post on my blog (https://blog.stranianelli.com/one-color-idle-game/) but it's in Italian. I hope to translate it into English later in the week

Thanks for the links, very interesting reading!

Very Nice Job , Congrats and Tks for template

Thank you for sharing! Does it currently support multiple currencies? When I modify idle_rules.json in the file you provided like so, the LAY_MONSTERS layout break and I get lots of errors:

Original:

"currencies": { "primary": { "label": "Points", "description": "" }

My revision (which breaks):

"currencies": { "primary": { "label": "Points", "description": "" }, "secondary": { "label": "Points2", "description": "" } },

Any thoughts?

What is the error message?

Yes, it can potentially handle multiple currencies. In the example I have limited myself to just one.

Thank you for responding! :D

Okay, using the default project, pasting the code as I described in my below post and running from Loader in Debug mode, I get this in console:

Well, the image uploader didn't work... I suspect because it keeps making my posts wait for moderator approval.

It says:

Unhandled exception running script idle_game, event 36, action 1: TypeError: temporaryBankGenerators[effectGenerators][nameCurrency] is undefined

OK! I got it

To add more currencies you need to edit the js script. For the moment it is limited to only one.

No problem, thanks for confirming!

Been thinking on meaningful gameplay mechanics to improve/enhance/alter idle clicker games, and yours gave me some ideas. The colors (or lack thereof) are great, but there are some edges in the UI that don't align with each other and that makes my inner obsessions tingle. The sound effect is also... open for improvement. Music, instantly turned off. Why am I writing all these? Well, because if you fix those this little project suddenly becomes a serious contender. Will be watching your career with great interest.
