Coming even sooner!!
(iOS has nothing to do with the previous "Crossover Event" just so you know)
The iOS Launch event will be available on all platforms! Rewards will include lots of
, plenty of
, some
, and an event-exclusive hat!
There will also be separate iOS-exclusive rewards similar to Steam launch, so make sure to download on your iPhones if u have them. I mean cmon, don't you guys have phones...???
iOS release date depends entirely on how fast Apple reviews/accepts the game. Can take days, can take weeks, but either way the event will still last for ~2 weeks once it's out!
fiery citrus
Still plugging away at iOS launch, the crossover event, and a few other things! I don't think I'll have any launches/updates of any kind this week though.
But be prepared to see lots of people wearing these in the hopefully-soon future!

how yall voting for a friggin blue donkey with ingrown teeth over my man phaser duck???
bro i aint even gonna let you guys unlock phaser duck with that attitude

Which picture do you think of first when you think IdleOn?
What is the biggest reason for your vote above:
It's the icon on my phone for idleon
It's the icon in the phone-store page for idleon i think...
I think i remember it from Steam on my PC
I just..... idk, I just recognize the picture i voted for more. I cant remember why at all
fiery citrus
Hi idleon dawgs, happy weekend!
fiery citrus
Everyone place your bets -- are we gonna get approved 1st time? Or we gonna have to resubmit?
Approved 1st time woo!
Nawww rejected, resubmission required xD
lilac fulcrum
Funny enough, this actually has nothing to do with iOS not even kidding
Are cats scared of apples or just pickles?
lilac fulcrum
Want to see another fruit?
... vegetable clan invading the vote?
Also here's whats up yo:
iOS hit a bump, I'm working that out rn with the guy helping me with the iOS port (no biggie, there was always gonna be something wrong with the iOS approval. But I can resubmit as soon as it's solved as many times as need be until its approved).
iOS event will go live on the same day iOS is released, and you'll be able to collect & open phone cases on all 4 platforms (iOS / android / Steam / Web)
All the other things I've been working on (like that kiwi I just posted ๐ฅ) is nearly done. Really hoping I can get it out this month so I can share it all and get back to more regular update posts.

fiery citrus
This rose represents the fact that iOS is currently in review -- like there is literally an apple employee right now looking it over (it's not just waiting to be reviewed, literally in review)
It has actually be in review for over 30 minutes (last time it got rejected, it took them just 7 minutes)
...
If this rose turns blue, then iOS will be ready to launch whenever I want
If this rose turns grey, then iOS got rejected again and I'll have to resubmit and we will go through the process again
I will check on the iOS review status every 10 minutes and post a new rose
fiery citrus
This process can take several hours by the way, please dont just sit here and watch this.
(I've seen this process like 12 times or so, and 10/12 took 10-20 mins, but 2 of them took 2+ hrs, where 1 failed and 1 succeeded)
Bruh im runnin out of roses here
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
its failed because I had a non-apple platform mention in the app preview video
I used the right video (one that doesnt mention google/steam at the end), but it also had one in the middle which i didnt know about
oh well we try again ๐ช ๐ค
fiery citrus
Was hoping to have some iOS news, but the submission i made yesterday (I made one a few hours after our Grey Rose) is still "waiting for review", so nothing new there.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some news about!
fiery citrus
Ah darn, looks like Apple's back to their funky tricks of saying things "arent" working when they are... when this happened with my last game, I literally resubmitted the same game and just sent in video proof that the systems they said dont work actually work, and it got approved. :\
Gonna resubmit once i get some of that proof, and well see how it goes!
fiery citrus
Watch the next rejection reason tomorrow is gonna be just a clown and laugh emoji
"Your app as been rejected -- Guideline 6.9 - In-Game reason. We want to farm the iOS exclusive items ourselves for a few days before we let your users get to them"
Personal disgruntlement toward the situation aside, I sent a request for further clarification, and will resubmit based on what I hear back from them!
๐ Also quick reminder, there will be an iOS LAUNCH EVENT for 2 weeks once the iOS version goes live!
๐ It will run for 2 weeks no matter when it gets launched, so delays will NOT shorten the event!
๐ The event will be available to Steam, Web, android and iOS, where you'll collect phone cases and get lots of 
, , event cards, and other things.
๐ There will also be iOS exclusive items during the event, which you can only claim by playing from an iOS device. This is separate to the regularly scheduled iOS Launch Event (which replaced this years summer event remember)
fiery citrus
We are back to waiting! (Yo someone pass me the +30% iOS Review spd obol pls 
)
I followed through and made a whole video as proof that the things they said werent working are working lol
Can we get some ripe apples ๐ for good luck?
fiery citrus
โ Denied again :[
I think we're just 1 more attempt away though, I can't imagine what else there'll be after I resubmit again (had some login issues again)
But of course you never know... anyway, I'm gonna resubmit asap and we'll see how it goessssssss
(currently been working on stability stuff, and thinking up world 5 / rift world design for those wondering what I've been up to inbetween iOS submissions)
fiery citrus
It's been "In Review" for most of the day, which I'm thinking is a good sign... I'm hopeful we'll have a result by the time I wake up tomorrow and if we have the green-light is launch time baby 
One more time then, lets get some ๐ to telepathically signal the apple reviewers to give us that green light for launch :0
(Also technically the rose is back to being red since its "in review" lol)
fiery citrus
They couldnt find the Outta This World pack :[
I guess tomorrow it is! 6th time's the charm :D
Kinda makes me wonder how I'm gonna get the other seasonal packs reviewed... or like how any other game with rotating in-app purchases gets their app on ios
Like it doesnt actually seem possible right? Sure they could upload a special "all in-app purchases are available" version of the app, but then that shouldn't pass since thats not the app thats actually being submitted...
Oh well, fortunately doesn't impact you guys at all since the event will run for 2 weeks no matter when its released :-)
fiery citrus
I think we may be good for a launch tomorrow -- there's a few hurdles in the way (apps release to iOS don't actually show up when you publish them, it can take a while before they do) but it does seem very likely (thinking like 50% chance) for a nice launch early tomorrow
I will be 
Streaming as well, so you can come watch for some rewards, play some games to win prizes, and see some future content reveals (world 5 monsters perhaps??)
fiery citrus
Hey guess what time it is
It's 5:30 am and I'm tired :D
oh wait no this is probably what you were expecting me to say
It's time for an iOS launch
I'll be posting up at twitch in maybe 30 mins or so -- https://www.twitch.tv/lava_flame2
everyone quickly react with ur flag
IdleOn will take up to 24 hours to show up in the App Store for iOS... I will probably need to wait until then before starting the event
BUT
but ok i cant find it in the app store either lol
lemme try to get a link... I'm pretty sure the more downloads it gets from you guys the faster itll start showing up
^ Everyone download and rate the game here for the time being if u can, I'll start launching the other versions of the game to 
/ 
alright ok both / are live :D

IdleOn is OUT NOW on iOS!!! ๐๐
Please gamers, extend me a helping hand and download it here --> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/idleon-idle-mmo/id1636526901
If possible, please leave a rating as well.
โ ๏ธ You must search for "Idleon MMO" in the App Store if you want to find it without using the lingk
Genuinely please help me if you can with a download & rating. Easily the biggest way you can help get the game to new players so they can have the fun you've got to have with idleon too!!!

This is the iOS exclusive bundle from the Phone in town
Note that only the iOS keychains are "exclusive". All other items you WILL get from just playing the event on other platforms
fiery citrus
Here's a world 5 monster btw -- I was eating this peanut butter cracker thing and I swear they used to do cheese instead of peanut butter and I figured its like... kinda molten-lava looking, close enough
Which flavor u reppin, Cheezy or Peanut Butter?
Also, thank you all for helping support me with yesterday's iOS release!
We've gotten almost 500 ratings so far on ๐ , which is honestly a little bit MORE than I was hoping for!!! Big thank you to all of you who have done so -- I've responded to all the written reviews I've seen so far :D
fiery citrus
Quick little surprise -- an UNREVEALED MONSTER (unless you can tell from the picture) is coming in PLUSHIE FORM this FRIDAY!
(I'll have more news on that this friday)
Anyway, now that iOS is out, main focus is going to shift fully to new IdleOn content!!
It's been a while hasn't it? You ready to get back into the swing of those daily content posts I was doing for world 4?
fiery citrus
From pencil sketch to pixels!
No I dont know what animal it is either...
maybe a rigby?
fiery citrus
Testing out various lighting / overall "feel" of world 5 environments (just by using some of the art in various rooms that already exist)
World 5 is set to have 14 NEW MONSTERS (1 of which will be w5 crystal mob -- which is exactly how many new mobs were in world 4!
Also, I've fully drawn all 14 of them, so thats a guarantee of 14 :D
fiery citrus
It's a box of crackers!!
This is of course a pop-culture reference to the fact that I'm currently still theory-crafting what the World 5 skills are, so I don't have many interesting pictures to post.
fiery citrus
Probably the toughest world 5 monster, this'll be home to many of the end-gamers who can reach their lair in the depths of the sulfur mines...
fiery citrus
New video ad coming out soon!
Also yea this is basically a face reveal, took this pic with a tripod right when i was waking up
๐ Also, IdleOn is now available on OLD iPHONES! (iOS 12~14 now works. Before, it was only iOS 15.4)
fiery citrus
**Also the ram plushie is finally here for everyone who was excited for that! **
I can tell you myself it's a very nice plushie (I actually took that picture above! Thats MY plushie!!) -- it's about the size of a very small watermelon, or like a cantaloupe or one of those weird fruits inbetween the size of an apple and a pinapple.
Do keep in mind that once the sale ends (in like 18 days), youll NEVER be able to buy one again. Just kinda how Makeship does their thing -- I'll make another post about it right before it ends just so you don't accidentally miss out on it!
*This doesn't have anything to do with the game -- no in-game items to be won for buying it. I just wanted a piece of merch out there for people who are super into that (like me, I have a few maplestory plushies that I really like having, and I have my dedotated ram sitting on them too). *

First ever REAL screenshot of World 5, taken from within the game!

Thanks everyone who helped make the plushie happen!! I wasn't sure if we were gonna reach the 200 plushies required to have any of them made (everyone would have just gotten refunds if so), but I was really happy to see so many of you wanted to get one and we hit the 200 quite quickly actually!
I bought a few myself to give out in the future, maybe for a world 5 celebration when that comes out, but until then enjoy the W5 dev posts!
fiery citrus
hey who we got here
wait around for like 30 sec if u can, boutta drop a Q on you
Ok so... imagine a map kinda like this
dont worry it will look awesome this is just a prototype sketch of mine
anyway so, imagine telling your ships like "go to that island and collect loot there"
like that or something right
theres a bunch of islands, and a bunch of different boats to manage and all that
tell me now, which one most accurately describes your feelings toward the ui
I'd love to see ALL the little boats floating back and forth between the islands and home as they collect treasure (they'd have complex enough navigation to NOT ever float over islands, so it would look realistic somewhat)
Nah i dont give a crap about seeing them float around. I just want to see the boat docked at the island he is plundering at all times
Bruh i dont understand WTF u tryin to say, i aint votin dogg
lilac fulcrum
haha wheee
haha woooosh
Endgamers like: "Yep, thatll be me 5 minutes after release"

Idle Skilling is coming to Steam TOMORROW
Yes, TOMORROW, like 22 hours from now!
Wishlist the game here -- we are only 150 people away from 10,000 wishlists, and I have a feeling 10000 is the requirement to get on the Steam Frontpage...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1048370/Idle_Skilling/
Join the discord here if you wanna keep up with all things idle skilling! Remember, there's still the afterlife update coming within the next few weeks!
https://discord.gg/dBHxNZbZ8N
But that's not all...
The IdleOn x Idle Skilling CROSSOVER is coming tomorrow as well!
Just look at all those NEAT prizes! 1000s of gems, a unique hat, and even a powerful TROPHY!
โจ Announcement Summary โจ
Idle Skilling is coming to steam TOMORROW!!!! - It's kinda like idleon, but very much its own 'thing'. You can definitely play both games and enjoy them separately
Earn exclusive IdleOn items by playing Idle Skilling at launch **ON STEAM ** -- Simply put, the further you progress in Idle Skilling, the more reward codes you'll get for awesome IdleOn items like a hat and a trophy!
I'll be streaming to celebrate the launch, so you can start your Idle Skilling journey with me (and also pick up some fun IdleOn prizes like normal)
Idle Skilling launches in: <t:1663257640:R>
@everyone
Idle Skilling tomorrow!
With IdleOn rewards for playing, hence why I'm telling you about it!
Idle Skilling is like a 'stripped down' IdleOn. It's much more basic overall, but has more 'things' to do -- it has 21 skills to play with instead of 12!
The best way I'd describe it is...
If you wish IdleOn was a bit more 'idle', you'll like Idle Skilling!
If you want to play a game similar to IdleOn, but still its own game with its own style, you'll like Idle Skilling!
If you want to play IdleOn 2, or something exactly like IdleOn but just with different content, you'll.... well, you may like Idle Skilling, but maybe not.
fiery citrus
We launchin' up in 49 minutes...
Also YOU GUYS SMASHED THE WISHLISTS!!!!
I was really hoping to get to 10,000 (we were at like 9,800 or so)
SMASHED the like button all the way to 11,800 wishlists!
Definitely hoping to see us over on the steam frontpage ๐ค but if we dont get there honestly no big deal cuz we did out best, nothing else we coulda done
yea wait is that 2nd emoji technically crossing ur fingers
never thought about it like that

Idle Skilling x IdleOn Crossover PSA:
- I will be adding in a "redo name" function for everyone to redo their name once, as well as making it potentially non-case sentitive if possible!!
Thank you everyone for the EPIC launch so far And dont worry, you'll get your codes no problem, I'll make sure of it!

BIG world 5 gameplay reveal: Sailing Loot!
- Obviously still 'concept art' for the UI hence all the ๐ช 0000000 displays (if youre curious, I do that just to fill up the space those displays will take, to better understand exactly what visuals I'm working with)
- Your boat captains will return with various rarities of treasure chests. These chests will contain LOOT based on the island they came from, as well as "artifacts" which will be MORE important but I'll leave that unspoiled for you to find out when you play it yourself
- You'll use the LOOT you get to do the various idle game stuff you'd expect -- buy new captains, upgrade boats, etc
lilac fulcrum
How would you feel about an option to manually name your pirate dudes? Would do absolutely nothing except make it easier for you to remember who's who...
= I would name them all
= I'd probably name a few, then get bored of naming them since we buy/sell captains pretty often and id stop naming them
= I would not waste time naming them, nope i wouldnt even do it once tbh not gonna lie lavafrog2
lilac fulcrum
fiery citrus
Sailing still has a while to go, but I'm getting the feeling that world 5 will be something of a 'souped up' world 4 in terms of the skills to play with
What I'm aiming for is something as "idle" as world 4, in that you can check in on it as often/not-often as you want within reason (no daily requirements, no timers), while also being a bit more 'expansive' than world 4 as you progress through it, in that it still has a few tricks to show off as you progress.
I've also been heavily considering different ways to remix the "premise" of the main game with one of the other two World 5 skills (i.e. not Sailing).
Think something similar to 3d printing in world 3, or Lab in world 4, where it changes up the way you play the game **without **adding a new layer of complexity (3d-printer allows you more ways to gather resources, and lab lets you focus on just a few of your characters).
Also pinchy pet needs to make an appearance at some point

The wiki has been officially moved to Idleon.wiki --> https://idleon.wiki/wiki/Main_Page
(the old Idleon.Info is still functional, it will redirect you to idleon.wiki )
Can we get some quick 
btw for all the wiki bros who do such a great job keeping all that info flowing and adding to it with each update? It's such a great place and really something I could have never done myself, so I'm certainly going to be reacting with a

Sailing skill is done!
That brings us to the following status of world 5 development:
Figure out what all the skills will be
Develop skill 1
Develop skill 2
Develop skill 3
Have all monsters & maps done
Add new Anvil T5 equipment tab
All the other small things youd expect (stamps, a few quests cuz just like world 4 im not doing many quests anymore, etc)
Estimated Release time: End of November

This is going to be the 'purest' skill I've ever done
The idea with this is, at its core, there'll be almost NO player choice involved (unlike things like construction/alchemy/pet battles where you have to micromanage things, choose what resources to gather and what to focus on, etc), so there'll be no major thinking required.
This could be said for other skills though, like mining/woodcutting etc which also are simple. Unlike those, this will also have DEPTH to it, so it will evolve over time into something engaging, all the while maintaining no required thinking or brain usage -- the game has enough brainy skills as is!
Most importantly, it will be infinitely AFK. I am tailoring it in such a way that there'll never be any hard timers -- in other words, no moments where you stop progressing until you interact with it again.
This skill, as well as sailing, are the RESOURCE GATHERING skills of world 5 btw, so the 3rd skill will be where you input said resources for big time gains
fiery citrus
You'll unlock several DNA strands for other plants with this being the cool UI to show your progress
For a while I was just going to do this standard 'box showcase' UI style above, but the DNA spiral I think is cooler and more unique
fiery citrus
Which box are YOU?
||Note that box C has no tape on it or visible openings, so it's probably just a solid rectangle pretending to be a real box||

Yes, all of the recent pics since the joystick skill icon have to do with the joystick skill btw!

The 2nd skill is almost fully developed!
*It's easily the most unique, and passive, skill in the game. *
To put it very simply, you'll be checking on it for maybe 1-2 minutes every time you log in but you wont have to think about anything, as progression is very straightforward.
__I have also gone to great lengths to cut out any tedious-ness that other skills saw at launch (like trapping): __
- It will be accessible within Quick-Ref, so no need to travel to it to play it
- If you just wanna 'collect and get out' as opposed to interact/upgrade stuff in it, you can do so IN A SINGLE CLICK!
- No inventory management involved at all
- No 'hard' decisions to make. Think of it like this: Instead of having to choose A or B (and never getting the one you dont pick), this skill will have you constantly choosing whether you want A or B first (so you'll get both anyway)
My current mission is to get world 5 in testing by december 3rd, then a Full launch of World 5 by december 17th or earlier

So yea I just figured like... why shouldnt the plants just look like scattered shotgun shell marks?

Enough on the black-and-white arcade computer plant-based resource collection skill, LETS MOVE ON TO THE 3rd AND FINAL SKILL OF WORLD 5!
Here on out, I will be posting cryptic images of remaining development.
*They may be art within the game, they may be concept art that wont make it, diagrams of mechanics... point is, no more concrete descriptions! Do your best to figure out what you're seeing, and leave the fun of finding out exactly what it is to launch day! *

The rest of the elite classes (whose talents will focus on world 5 skills)
The rift
The V-man (wont be called that but u know whats up)
World 5 achievements/tasks
Some 'random' new features (maybe guilds, maybe server bosses, something small and fun)
Pet followers
A class-reset system, if I dont get to that in world 5 release

6 of the many SAILING ARTIFACTS youll collect from sailing chests, which youll collect from captains returning from their sailing trip, who youll collect from the rotating assortment of captains available to buy in the town shop
fiery citrus
fiery citrus
Some bonuses I am planning on adding in the form of the Sailing Artifacts:
+X% resources from 3d printer -- X increases by 1% per day for 50 days (X resets to 0% when you take a new sample)
Get bonuses from all shrines, all the time. You can only give them exp/level them up based on the previous proximity rules (same map, or same world if lab bonus)
Daily Spice Claim Storage -- saves and stacks up your un-used daily spice claims each day
There will be many more 'unique' bonuses like these, since they're way more fun than just +X% stat (there will be some of those too though ofc)
-- React to the bonus you most desire!
fiery citrus
**Quick poll **-- vote for the one that sounds BEST to you!
Context: Sailing Skill involves sailing to islands and back, and getting treasure chests. These have a small chance of containing an Artifact based on which island you sailed to. Each island has a few artifacts.
What each artifact does should be completely unknown until I find the artifact. Make it a complete surprise so I can get hyped when I finally get each one!
What each artifact does should be known even before finding it, but only IF you have the island unlocked. That way I can decide which island (from the ones I have access to) I want to try and get artifacts from!
What each artifact does should be known from the get-go, even if I dont have the island unlocked at all. Why keep it a mystery at all?

Just spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to make the stand look more... standard? Which one would you go with?

Which are you more excited for:
World 5
Nerfs to previous worlds to make progression a bit easier
Weekly content updates that come after World 5 launch
slab
fiery citrus
Quick facts of the new bonuses being added in, without giving away what the specific bonus-sources are, just to give you an idea of the HUGE, MEGA VOLUME of content coming in world 5:
+30 unlockable semi-unique bonuses from source A
+10 unique, game changing bonuses from source B
+10 passive bonuses from source B
+10 upgradeable bonuses from source B
+6 collectible bonuses from source C
+2 bonuses to an old source
+20 bonuses to an old sou... well this ones new bubbles, but youd expect those so ill give u that one
+8 bonuses to an old source
+25 bonuses to an old source
These are just the bonuses that affect the whole game. For example, if you think of world 4, these would be Meal Bonuses, Lab bonuses, so I'm still leaving out the world 5 equivalent of things like kitchen upgrades, or breeding new pets
In other words, these only represent maybe 50% of the 'stuff' in world 5
In other words, theres actually a lot more stuff in world 5 than I was expecting
In other words, bababooey bababooey, since those are other words
fiery citrus
Yes this is one of the many features in world 5, and yes Blobulytes do canonically have noses and eyebrows and moustaches
fiery citrus
Sailing is coming pre-packed with some (unlockable) QoL features:
Ability to have the boats sail for treasure non-stop, so you dont have to manually send them to the same island over and over (only when you want them to sail somewhere new!)
Ability to auto-delete treasure chests of low-quality, so you dont have to constantly open up low-quality chest (you can instead wait until your loot pile is full of high-quality chests)
*So dont be alarmed when, at first, you need to manually send out your ships to get treasures. *
Just get to island 3 and you'll find the artifact that unlocks these QoL features (I dont have these features active to begin with as to not throw TOO much at you at once)

quick night time poll, checking results when i wake up:

I am more excited when I see non-Piggy NPCs, because they give unique items that ARENT stamps
I like seeing any new NPC, i dont actually care if its a piggy or not

โข World 5 is as big as world 4 in terms of substance. The 3 skills are very unique and detailed, maybe even more-so than world 4 skills!
โข World 5, just like with world 4, will continually be added too in the coming weeks. This means things like Tasks, Merit Shop, Achievements, Star Signs, Boss fight, are all coming later. Click the black bar if you want to know why I always do this: ||Two reasons: A) Development-wise, it always helps to cut back on scope and get the meat of the game out there. Makes the process more manageable for me personally! B) To my understanding, and I've been doing this for almost 5 years, its just a better experience for most people to have staggered content releases. New worlds already have SO much content, having everything there on launch would just be too much to handle at once for many. Some chad gamers would be able to handle everything, but many cant.||
||Also on a tangent, there's been a bit of a controversy that's weighed heavily on my mind for a while now, and I feel like its finally time I address it: There's been a lot of hate and toxicity to me regarding my choice to name the first world 5 monsters "Suggma", on account of it being a dead cringe meme that will soon fade into obscurity. I thought long and hard about this decision, and didn't make it lightly. I will be sticking with my choice of nomenclature on the following basis: Considering my history of naming things onomatopoeia-style, the word 'suggma' falls in line with the style of the IdleOn and thus will remain valid regardless of the relevancy of the meme surrounding it. In this way, the name in my eyes proves to be the right way forward as it will enjoy the boosted value of meme status, while retaining value once the meme is dead and gone. I'm sorry to all of those who have been conflicted about me throughout this controversy, and I hope my explanation can mend hurt feelings on both sides of the situation. [this is just comedy btw just felt like doing some creative writing haha]||โข Weekly updates will resume! I'm hoping these will last 3-4 months, just like they did after World 4, and will include things like: Pet Followers, the other features of world 5, the Rift, the 4 Elite Classes wink wink, and hopefuly some fun wacky stuff like server raid bosses and guild town halls!
Here's where I'm at in terms of a RELEASE DATE:
Currently, I hope to start official testing by the 11th. Depending on how things go, I am hopeful that world 5 will launch sometime between the 17th and 20th of December, 2022
I will have a concrete, finalized release day 3-4 days prior to launch, so we can all get hyped together!
I'm honestly getting the good-nervous vibes again lol im so excited
Its been almost 10 months since the last 'new content' to the game... speaking honestly I'm really glad i took a break from idleon to do the iOS/idle skilling stuff
Like yea it was 4 months of no content, but it made world 5 probably 50% more fun, learned a few things from the idle skilling update, and am way more refreshed for weekly updates again (was straight dead back in july when the last weekly came out)
Actually wait...

Private testing (with like 5-10 trusted members) starting today... release looms close
fiery citrus
Oh also like world 5 is being tested, and is going great so far
What is YOURE favorite part of "world 5"?
ah the 5 yes yes i agree
fiery citrus
ok so this is where currently stands:
There has been 2 days of testing, and no major issues have been found! There have been plenty of small fixes (namely UI stuff) and some QoL changes, but nothing big.
There is still one minor feature I want to add, and a few bonuses I want to change to make things more fun, but point is I theoretically could release world 5 on the 17th based on how things are...
HOWEVER...
I forget how much of a batch of ๐ช the iOS version is to get verified, and that could stall us for quite a while...
In short, while I would love to right now announce a safe, guaranteed release date of December 18th, so we can all get hyped for a specific day/time, **the uncertainty of iOS verification means I can't responsibly give any release date
**
Instead, I will announce when I have uploaded the game to iOS for verification, so we can all wait together!
(The likelihood of iOS approving the update within a day is, id say, around a 70% chance. It's likely. Only reason I dont is theres a 10%-ish chance it gets denied denied denied day after day for a while for things that were previously approved...)

Current status: Still finishing up some final things. The update has not been submitted to ios/android yet.

Honestly, I think I'm about ready to just announce the release date as the 20th... if Apple isnt ready by then, this wouldnt be the first time apple got delayed! ||This is a pop-culture reference to the fact that the launch of IdleOn: The Idle MMO on iOS was delayed by 21 months initially||

Current Status: Forget taking it easy im going all night as long as it takes baby -- gonna get iOS uploaded now instead of when i wake up to give it those extra few hours to maybe get verified
fiery citrus
Current Status: Trying to get iOS uploaded before the sun rises
fiery citrus
Current Status: Sun is scared of the raw power and determination emanating from my very being, and has yet to show up. iOS is almost uploaded for verification, just waiting for it to 'process' apparently
fiery citrus
Current Status: Sun is rising and the app itself is stuck waiting verification... and I mean waiting verification to be uploaded at all, after which it will then be approved/denied...
fiery citrus
Current Status: iOS is finally submitted, waiting for review. Android and Steam are ready to launch tomorrow, regardless of iOS status.

Last two things I'll say before I see you all over at https://twitch.tv/Lava_Flame2 with
โข You may find keeping track of who's who in sailing for captains and boats a bit tricky once you build up a fleet. I will add QoL features in the 1st Weekly update to address this, so dont worry
โข I will be doing weekly updates for a while. Expect 3+ months at the least, just like after world 4!

World 5 is now available
iOS version is currently undergoing maintenance due to the recent version being denied -- I am going to request a 'fast review' due to this and I hope it will be resolved shortly!
EDIT: The issue has been resolved. Thank you everyone for your patience.
Here's more info if you're confused as to why this iOS kerfuffle happened: ||It was denied for an incorrect reason -- as I resubmitted the game without changing anything and it was accepted. BUT I am very happy with apple for being quick about this and approving within a few hours instead of 24+ hrs. In short, while it would have been nice to have this 100% locked down prior to launch for iOS, in reality, it wasn't exactly my fault that this happened. That being said, I will be keeping this in mind and doing my best to prepare iOS early to avoid this in the future!||

Quick few comments regarding stuff:
- There are a few minor bugs, most notably +1.5 bubble levels/day from Lab instead of the normal +2, which will be addressed asap!
- Big thank you to everyone who has a pending #customer-support email who has been patient! You will be getting addressed soon!
- Weekly updates probably wont be 'every week', but like +/- a few days depending on the size of the update (I dont wanna hurt myself over specific deadlines for no good reason). The point being, there will be no 'major' updates for MONTHS to come, only smaller quick updates with small content, QoL, bugfixes, etc!

Posted v1.70b, very small thing just to fix some minor issues that are completely irrelevant (but would not have been if not fixed!)

iOS issue, only affects iOS -- Steam & Android users can ignore
After a long deepdive into the current iOS situation, I believe I have found what caused the issue, and its part of what I hate about working with the apple ecosystem but no need to rant about that. I do want to clear up for those confused, that not everything was affected -- only the World 5 usables used within the day the first version was out, and the progress made on that day as opposed to everything -- so it's easy to reimburse the few things that were lost. More importantly, I understand exactly what happened and am 100% certain this wont happen again in the future; this also means the 4 days that have elapsed since this issue will be fully retained within your account, so there's no problems with your current progress. Thank you everyone for leaving detailed reports on the issue, and for sticking with me while I fully investigated and prepared an official statement -- you will see the reimbursement in your account (in the form of gems) when you next update, and I do sincerely apologize that this happened.

Currently working on v1.71, which will technically be the first weekly update and will feature the following:
โข Sailing Captain identification QoL
โข Many small world 5 bugfixes
โข 26 bugfixes to the entire game, outside of world 5, including:
"Elite Class softlocking",
"Incorrect coin drops for active fighting on mobile",
"World 3 town crashing",
"Autoloot not working fully when menus are open",
"Critters not showing up even after doing Lord of the Hunt's quest to unlock them"
โข Chest Auto-Sort button, with a warning so you cant accidentally click
fiery citrus
Toggle option coming to the Map, will show boat numbers and captain letters (a is 1st captain, b is 2nd, etc)

The year started off with World 4 development, which was released in March and brought with it Cooking, Meal Delivery Breeding, Pet Battles, and The Lab!
Then in April, May, and June, weekly updates rolled out which brought major QoL improvements, 2 new Minibosses, Sigils, Nightmare bosses and exclusive wings, a 4th difficulty of the Frog dungeon, the Blood Berserker & Beast Master & Bubonic Conjuror elite classes, the 10th character slot!
By July, the ending to World 4 was released with the Troll boss, which also brought into play new world 4 monsters to breed!
For the month of August, focus was shifted away from IdleOn content and improvements to bring the game to iOS, as well as work with a 3rd party to bring the first ever IdleOn plushie to production!
Finally, from September to December, all attention was put on bringing in World 5! Sailing, Divinity, and Gaming were added, and a new cycle of weekly updates and improvements began!
Thank you to everyone for being a part of this great 2022 we had! The world of IdleOn continues to grow, with over 3 million players and 100,000 of you here in discord, and I'm very excited to bring you even more fun content in 2023!
fiery citrus
Hewwo gamers 
I have a few freakin' things to say:
I hope you had a nice christmas! I had a decent one, spent a bit of it making IdleOn which is good!
v1.71 just got released, major thing being Auto-Sort added to Chests. Check it out over at #patch-notes๐
The iOS compensation apparently didn't go through correctly, so I am uploading a v1.71b for iOS which will deliver this
If you have never left a Steam Review and are enjoying world 5, it'd be awesome if you could do so! I'll even save you a few clicks with a link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1476970/IdleOn__The_Idle_MMO/
v1.72 will bring into play the final Construction Building, the ATOM COLLIDER, as shown below. It will finally give you a reason to collect more than 10 million of a resource (and it wont remove items below 10m, so your greenstacks are safe)

fiery citrus
This update has more content in it than I was expecting btw, so it'll be longer than just a 1 week update
fiery citrus
fiery citrus
Important note to the 1B resource gamers:
IdleOn will no longer cater to the collection of resources above 1000M, whether you want to collect more or not. It will literally be impossible, the game wont let you. This will only make sense once you see the Atom Collider (which I'll discuss below), which in short allows you to upgrade bonuses with excess resources, so do your best not to embarrass yourself with conjecture about this in the meantime lol
Here's why, and what this means:
First and foremost, this is a design choice. Currently, the only reason to collect large stack sizes of 1000M+ was for a few disparate talents here and there that worked off of the "Power of 10" resources you have. This to me was super boring, especially with how interesting the concept of large-stack accumulation could be if expanded upon.
So instead, I've been bouncing ideas around in my head for months, and came to the conclusion to build the Atom Collider, which will convert large-stack accumulated resources into particles, which you use to unlock atoms and upgrade end-game bonuses.
Of course, you will still be able to get to 1000M of a resource just fine, so Max Lv Vials will still be a thing. Also, I will be adjusting bubble upgrading to account for this, although only slightly. Further, one of the Atom Bonuses will be "+ stacks to Power of 10 Resource Talents", so people who did save up 100s of billions of resources don't lose out on the 2 or 3 "powers" they will lose from this.
Finally, all excess stacks will be converted to Particles upon updating, so your excess stacks wont just vanish for nothing.
Oh also bigger, 'gameplay changing' things like this will be happening a bit more often with the coming updates.
It'll never be drastic changes, like "Cube world resetting your stuff when you move islands" change drastic, but I do think it's much more fun when game-changing stuff gets introduced as opposed to just same-old same-old.

I'm gonna go and do it ๐ช๐ค
all 80 of them that have roman numerals shall be roman no longer

Its done time to go back to atom making :-)
Is this your favorite Atom Collider bonus I've shown so far??
fiery citrus
The update still isnt quite done, although it's nearly there! Sorry it's gonna be over 2 weeks for this one, but it's got 2x more stuff than the usual weekly update and the Atom Collider is a pretty major overhaul & improvement of how the endgame resource system works which I think is worth the extra time!
fiery citrus
Are you ready for v1.72??

One main allure for Random Events will be collecting the rare equipment it can drop.
Would you be interested in having the image above show up when you are doing a random event, so you can know what you're hoping to get / feel good when you finally find them all?
Yea, but also show me the chances to get the random items! Like "1 in 150" or something, like in the Cards in Codex
Yea, and I dont really care about you showing the chances
Nah, I'll just do the random event I dont need something like that
There will also be normal rewards, like EXP balloons / EXP Pearls, etc. These common, normal rewards aren't exclusive to random events.

Btw there are two 'big' issues currently that Im aware of:
- Piercing Arrow archer ability being 'super weak' all of a sudden: I have already found the issue and fixed it for next update
- Divine Knight rarely, and randomly, crashing when idling for a long time: I know the issue, and am working/testing out a fix to it for next update. It has to do with the boomerang (don't worry, no nerfs incoming)
So no need to report or worry about these issues :-)
I may also look into disabling pet attack visuals if you go past arena wave N (not sure what N will be) to reduce lag

Random question:
How frequently do you scroll through reddit (not r/idleon specifically, just reddit in its entirety)
๏ปฟ๏ปฟ
๐ฆ๏ปฟ = Many many times a day, like whenever I'm bored or something
๐ง๏ปฟ = Maybe 1-2 times per day
๐จ๏ปฟ = Once every day or every other day, maybe
๐ฉ๏ปฟ ๏ปฟ๏ปฟ= Eh maybe once a week at most
๐ช๏ปฟ = I dont use reddit at all tbh
For people who do use reddit (A, B, C or D), which of the following best describes you:
๐ฆ I just scroll through the frontpage, mayyybe I'll visit one or two specific subreddits
๐ง I often visit specific subreddits, but I also scroll the frontpage. A bit of both
๐จ I spend most of my time in specific subreddits, rarely do I ever go to the frontpage.
As a reward for voting on boring reddit questions, here's an IdleOn question: How BADLY do you want a loot filter, that lets you select a few dozen items to never drop?
๐ฆ = I want this ASAP, every update i secret wish it comes and it hasnt and that makes me sad
๐ง = Yea thatd be great, I havent really thought about that but id prob use it maybe
๐จ = Eh there's more important things, and I dont really care about filtering out items
Are you aware of how big time the stat-swapper stone will change the fashion scene of idleon?
๐ฆ = 100%, I already have planned out what hats I'm gonna premium-ify and which stats I'm transferring!
๐ง = Eh, maybe? I think I'll understand it better once its in the game...
๐จ = No clue tbh. I dont really think about this sorta stuff / I dont even have any +% stat premium hats to begin with.
How sad are you that there are no more questions to answer?
๐ฆ = Devastated... I was really enjoying it but now I have to search for meaning elsewhere
๐ง = Eh idk it was kinda fun but like go bland by the end
๐จ = Dude I was about to friggin' cease to exist due to boredom so the questions ending basically saved the very nature of my being.

When you think of filtering out items from being dropped at all, is this the first picture that comes to mind?

New update later this week. Hoping to start private testing today!
There WILL be a new elite class this update. However, I may take 1 week off from new elites (so the last elite class will come in 2 updates), so I can focus on doing a VALENSLIME in-game EVENT
**Which elite class are you hoping will come this week?
๐ Elemental Sorcerer or 
Siege Breaker? **
(I've already completed the class, so this won't decide anything. I just want to see how many ppl will be happy/sad this week lol)
Also while were here, what do you look forward to most from events?
New event cards!
Event items, like EXP pearls and awesome Consumables
straight up gems
gem "jackpot" opportunities (like gem envelopes), so I can live in hope that I earn 1000s of gems instead of 100s over the event
No opinion, I just like events and how they bring a new vibe while they're active

(I've been working on a HUGE optimization patch for idleon, hence the delay for this update)
(Still not quite there. Hoping for a release ~36 hours from this message. DONT hold me to that though. It might be 48, might be 72. But im just sayin' so you know where my heads at!)
fiery citrus
Oh that just... sends without me pressing enter
v1.75 is DONE. Figured out all the optimization stuff, and I'm gonna do a bit more testing, but maybe tomorrow evening release...?
If not, next day! I'll let u know how things go
fiery citrus
Probably not happening today... but I've been at it all day for the last like 4 days and will continue until its out!

Genuine question, please react honestly:

Hey guys, hope ur having a chill time on this great weekend day!
Super happy to see everyone loving the recent QoL additions & classes, especially since I've got more good ones coming in these months!
While I wanna remind you all that Valenslimes Event IS coming to town next week , I was having a look at the stats for IdleOn rn and its poppin' off on the Steam Algorithm
So I just wanted to ask that if you havent left a Steam Review, it could help with this algorithm boost we've gotten from these awesome updates
And your specific review could result in like 5-10+ people finding idleon who otherwise wouldnt, which i think is pretty sick
fiery citrus
I'm adding a new type of reward to the event, in addition to the normal Event Cards / Gems / Time Candies / Event Food / Event Hat
fiery citrus
Gentlemen, it is with great excitement that I interrupt your hype for the valenslime event to tell you that Plunderous Mobs will have double the EXP/Drop bonus, and that you're guaranteed to get a Plunderous Mob to spawn on your 90th kill if you dont get one earlier after placing a flag.

๐ต Giving away up to $3500 USD to various IdleOn videos, with the goal being to bring into existence videos that wouldn't otherwise be made!
**Go check out #free-gem-contest๐ **
fiery citrus
Also to any armchair critics, not to ๐ dunk on you but I think its a great idea to spend some money toward inspiring community members to make interesting videos about the game we all love instead of just sending Google Ads yet another advertising cheque 
Please remember to have fun too if you're going to participate! While getting new players is obviously part of it, as I say in the contest myself, my big intention with this is to bring us together as a community and have a good time seeing what everyone comes up with, hence why I'm not like requiring 100,000 views for anyone to win in the first place!

New Constellations! Do you think this is more exciting than getting a new elite class?
You do??? Wait should I just add more of these in instead of another elite class? Please say no if that isn't correct.

You can scroll through worlds! This isn't new, but I just fixed a bug for next update that didn't let you scroll if you had World 1 or World 5 selected
Did you know this scrolling was a thing?????????!??!? ( PC only)

Hi everyone, I would like to test Non-English support, specifically with GERMAN first.
I've been thinking about translations for a while, and my hesitancy (and reluctance to work with Translation Companies) has been due to the VERY specific terms used for IdleOn (I've worked with some Translation Companies before who literally just used Google Translate ๐ and called it a day, which was awful because I couldn't tell).
However, I believe an actual IdleOn player would understand the nuance of the game well enough to give very good translations!
If you are 100% fluent in both ๐ฉ๐ช German and ๐ฌ๐ง English, and are good at translating, I would love to hire you for a few hours of translating work ($ Via Paypal)!
Please DM my ALT account --> @lilac fulcrum if you're available, and only if you are confident in your Translation ability and have the time to do a great job!
I am hoping to get a solid group of 5-10 people to translate a few hundred words each!This also applies to 100% Fluent ๐ซ๐ท French and ๐ฌ๐ง English -- Please DM my alt --> @lilac fulcrum if you're available!
fiery citrus
Thank you to SO many of you for reaching out! I'm SO HYPED to finally get started on bringing a full experience of IdleOn to Non-English speaking players!
I am currently just focusing on ๐ซ๐ท and ๐ฉ๐ช , so for those of other languages, don't feel bad that I didn't respond! I will be hosting this opportunity for other languages in the future depending on how this goes, so please reach out again in the future when your language comes up!
Just to keep things under control, I'm only including a certain amount of people -- so if you reached out for French/German, and didn't get a response yet, dont feel bad!
Which language do you think is the best ๐
Welche Sprache findet ihr am besten? ๐ฅ
Quelle langue pensez-vous รชtre la meilleure? ๐ฅ
Oh darn lava, I guess since you're busy managing translations and stuff there'll be no new updates for a few weeks
๐คฃ You must be new here, I'll see u guys next week :-)

Awesome little victory we achieved just now fellow idleon enjoyers!
Im excited to see what the future holds in the next 2 months or so!

Current patch notes of things I've already done for the coming week includes:
4 QoL additions (High-Performance Pet Battles being one)
4 Balance adjustments/Minor QoL things
9 Bug Fixes
Release will have more, this is just as of now.
fiery citrus
Yes this is what you think it is, and it's already coded up. I will begin testing tomorrow and will hopefully have a release in a few days 
Hint: ||look at the letters on the keys||
fiery citrus
Let me just get this out of the way rn
The next elite class will not be coming out with this update. This is a Quality-Improvement / Bugfix update.
If this makes you sad (it makes me sad) then next time you see someone whining about how each update is "just new stuff never fixes" maybe bark at them or something ๐ถ
I will however be working over the weekend (stream perhaps ) as I normally do to bring the next Elite Class to you asap ๐ช
fiery citrus

We work though this though -- ๐ง Elemental Sorcerer early next week, ๐ซ๐ท ๐ฉ๐ช translations soon after!!
NEW UPDATE (KEYBOARD MOVEMENT) IS OUT BTW #patch-notes๐

EDIT: ate a pizza and now I'm hyped again

Random small poll:
You know these skills? They give you +% bonus per POW 10 kills of a certain type, and you slowly build up this number until you're happy with it?
So obviously Elemental Sorcerer will have a skill like this, lets call it "Portal", and it will involve something similar to the Divine Knight Orb / Siege Breaker Flag
Would you rather:
The Elemental Sorcerer bonus increase per POW 10 "portal kills", just like the last 2 elite classes have worked
The Elemental Sorcerer bonus increase based on your BEST # of "Portal Kills". So it doesnt slowly get better
--
๐ค Confused? Well, imagine instead of Divine Knight giving +% bonus per POW 10 Orb kills (1st option), it gave +% bonus per "100 kills of your best ever orb" (2nd option)

POP QUIZ:
Video ๐ฆ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yWWnO515Ko
Video ๐ ฑ๏ธ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlczw--_nQg
I have been running an EXPERIMENT on for the last 31 days.
50% of people who click on the game will see Video ๐ฆ next to the screenshots before downloading, 50% will see video ๐
ฑ๏ธ.
In both cases, they see the same screenshots/game description/etc. Only the video is different.
Which video do you think resulted in MORE DOWNLOADS?
(Basically, imagine 10000 people clicked on IdleOn to maybe download it. 5,000 people see Video A, 5000 people see Video B, which do you think got more of the 5000 ppl to download?)
And how MUCH of a difference do you think the videos are?
For example, say video A got 1500/5000 installs (30%) and Video B got 1400/5000 installs (28%), the difference would be 2%
Less than 1% difference
1~3% difference
3~6% difference
More than 6% difference
How many of you honestly have no idea wtf I'm asking
Bro I'm with u, this all makes sense great job explaining
I uhh yea no idk wtf you talking about here I just click the pepes haha
โ ๏ธ SPOILERS
The answers are:
The better video was: ||You sure you wanna know the answer?|| ||100% sure?|| ||Really REALLY sure?|| ||Ok it was video ๐
ฑ๏ธ || ||No you clicked too far you want the previous one||
The DIFFERENCE between the videos: ||It was 1~3% Cuz yea videos don't actually matter all that much, especially considering both videos were pretty good||

We are still waiting for iOS due to various reasons that I can't just skip iOS this time... also we are like 5 hours over the expected time for iOS
I'm sorry to everyone who has been waiting, I was obviously hoping to have it out by now 
But if you're genuinely upset you should go check yourself man, its a free game and I'm doing my best and getting stuck by some trillion dollar company's "review" like get real

Hey gamers, I'm gonna get some sleep but I'm hyped to see all the excitement around the bigtime wizard!!!
Here's a quick recap of what I've done since World 5 launch, with the weekly updates and events, to remind you / catch you up to speed:
Obviously world 5 came out
I added the #1 most Player-Requested feature over the years, Auto Sort to Storage Chests, as well as 29 bug fixes
The Atom Collider was added, a lategame feature that gives a purpose to collecting millions/billions of resources, and I added a few Player Suggested Improvements / Bug Fixes to boot
I added random events, which so far have been a great no-pressure addition and a source of fun loot-seeking for those interested, as well as some standard bugfixes and a nifty "Next Vial" indicator in Alchemy
The first of the "Modern Era" elite classes was Divine Knight, whose combo potential and orb Exp/Drop Rate bonus became THE definitive answer to anyone asking you to "Name a Better Duo than..."
Also, this was when I changed basically everything to be "Quick-Ref" interactable, something I think we all love.
In addition, the "all personal" tab was added to Obols, which we also all love!
The 2nd Modern Era elite class and my personal favorite theme, the Siege Breaker, came with an interesting plunder system and sweet account-wide +% Drop Rate bonus. The hat premium-swapper stone was also added, allowing for interchangeable drip.
The Valenslimes Day event was release for ~13 days, allowing players to collect up to 3 capes for free based on their favor with RNGesus. We also hit a milestone of ~7,800 concurrent (at the same time) players on Steam, making IdleOn a top 100 PC game in the world for a while!
Keyboard Movement... somehow... finally made its way into the game, which I think makes movement as a whole feel a lot less rigid! Completable Constellations were added to world 5, a High Performance mode was added for those struggling to reach Wave 200 in the Arena, and the long-desired Quick Trash was added to Obols!
This brings us to today, where the 3rd and final Modern Era elite class was released, the Elemental Sorcerer, which fills the map with monsters then kills them in various colourful and chaotic ways! I also snuck in a virus that gives you +8 storage chest slots then uninstalls itself, which will help everyone store the 8 new frisbee colour variants that wood mushrooms definitely drop!
Lets take a quick look at the actual timeline for these updates:
Auto sort: 7 days
Atoms: 15 days
Random Events: 9 days
Divine Knight: 11 days
**Siege Breaker: **11 days
**Valenslimes Day: **5 days
Keyboard movement: 9 days
Elemental Sorcerer: 9 days
Remember, this include time spend on all the bug fixes, quality improvements, and balance changes, not just the "key component" of the update i.e. what it's named after!
**What's coming next then mister larva? Are there even MORE weekly updates **
Well, maybe, it depends on the player reaction! I only think it's worth doing for me if you guys genuinely enjoy it, so let me know in the Steam reviews if you want to see more of these!
Of course it goes without saying (I initially didn't even say this in this message), I do appreciate all the support I can get here, and I've enjoyed reading/replying to reviews over the last few weeks
As for the weekly-or-not, there will come a point where weekly is the "norm", and the excitement of smaller weekly updates wears off and longer multi-week updates are better to do, but it's really up to you all on when that time comes!
Mini little bonus question: Which elite class do you like the best?
Regardless of timeline, here's a brief idea of where I think I will be taking things and what new content will come to the world of IdleOn:
The Rift -- a 'never ending' content piece that will give people something in the form of a goal to shoot for, so the endgame isn't just making up your own goals
Pet Followers -- little fellas that follow you around, based on monsters from all the worlds! They will be for looks and bonuses, but I will be making sure these wont add to the list of things you need to 'swap' to get optimal gains.
Shiny Breed Pet Bonuses -- these will probably come WITH an update, since they were always meant to be a side-thing since there are so many different pets.
Language Translation Options -- ๐ซ๐ท ๐ฉ๐ช are already in progress, but I'm hoping to add Language Accessibility to even more languages too!
Aren't you forgetting something? -- uh... no? What, did I miss some magical fairytale, make- believe 4th elite class or something? Some Vee man or whatever the Gary V guys call themselves? Get real!
Some "random" fun updates -- I still have a desire to try my hand at "server bosses" or maybe even "guild halls", although I may do some player polling ๐ to see exactly what is most wanted. I think there should be a few updates every now and then, like Random Events, that stray from the 'meta' of IdleOn.
fiery citrus
This is just a small list of what first comes to mind at 1:00 am on a Saturday, so there will be deviations from this, but this is a solid idea of what's to come in probably the next ~2 months!
Thank you everyone for playing, having fun with the updates, engaging with this great community we have, and for supporting me in my continual unending endeavor to build the best game I possibly can!
On a final note, a lot of you may take for granted that IdleOn exists, that its just some inevitable thing -- I do the same for other games -- but it's existence is very special to me and was a lot more uncertain than you may realize.
That gif is what IdleOn was a little over 3 years ago, as you can see from an old DM I have to my alt account.
To see all that has come from just that simple gif, and knowing that the only real reason that "IdleOn" means anything is because of you guys, is why I work so hard even after all this time, when I could've coasted probably 2 years ago once it was 'doing good', why I still care so much about it.
This is all just to say, in more sincere terms, that I appreciate the life you help breathe into this project of mine. Thanks.

Here's a fun ethical questionnaire!
A train is moving along down the tracks, and on its current path will run over 5 unaware workers. You, the track conductor, can redirect the train onto a 2nd path, where it will only run over 1 unaware worker.
Do you redirect the train?
You can push a button, with a 95% chance you will win a million dollars! However, if it fails, someone you don't know will die terribly.
Do you push the button?
This is not a pro life / abortion stance, dont get it twisted
Lets say its true that a 1 year old has not yet developed consciousness at all. Considering this, you see a 1 year old hanging from a cliff (babies have unreal grip strength i guess) as well as BOTH of his mid 20s parents hanging to the side. They are both about to slip, so you can either save "The 1 year old" or "Both of the parents"
Do you save the 1 year old
You operate a comic book store with a wide variety of products, none of which are necessary for someone to live. Occasionally, you have customers who you prohibit from entering because they try to trade in fake comics.
One day, you host a Comic event at a completely separate location, and there are several people who bring in fake comics to scam people.
Do you still ban these people from your store location?
You are driving a car, specifically your car, on a very busy street. There are 30 cars in a conga-line behind you. You notice up ahead someone wants to turn into your lane. If you were to slow down slightly, you would save them ~90 seconds of waiting for all the cars behind you, but would cost you and everyone behind you 3 seconds of slowing down.
Do you slow down to let the other driver in?
Slowing down will not cause ANY accidents, that is not a part of the scenario.
