Thank you for participating in my ethical dilemma experiment -- your results are at the end.
Sorry for the delay, since so many of you joined the Game show I wanted to do it justice and explain what happened with the cheating, and what I did about it! Figured you'd be interested to know!

💵 The real-money video contest is ending in ~4 days.
There is plenty of time left-- I'd still highly recommend trying video essays that relate IdleOn to a real-world topic of interest, or create a story about the game that viewers can listen to while playing other things (I do this a lot, idk about you guys).
The entries so far have been cool, but there's definitely room for YOU to be the standout winner if you have the right idea, right execution, and get lucky with the algorithm! So if you're on the fence about it, you should go for it! No idea when/if you'll have another opportunity to in the future :0
Also just to be extra clear, the video doesnt need to be 100% idleon -- it can have idleon as the general theme, but explore other topics!
But that's my last reminder for the contest, so best of luck to anyone who decides to join, to those who have already submitted, and to those who are in-progress of video creating!

Translations are DONE! At least for a v1.0 for compatibility!
Now on to testing, and getting some more QoL from #best-suggestions-✅ into the update
With 2 languages, that's 318 pages of translations done by people who play and understand IdleOn! Everyone who contributed will be receiving full $ compensation too, as they rightfully deserve! This ain't no charity work after all!
It's not quite out yet, but can we get a hand for those that contributed? I think bringing IdleOn to people who couldn't experience it before is a great leap to make, and opens the door for even more translations in the future!

I am excited to announce that, as of now, its ALL DONE
318 pages of raw translations, spanning across the game. I'm sure there will be errors, but these will be smoothed out over time and won't impeded development since there's no "coding" left to be done.

RIP french beginner 
12 new QoL / Balance changes, 3 of which I've already teased in the days before.

Right as I was about to do a SURPRISE launch, apparently Steam has a sale going on
I had the cover-art ready and everything...
So here's the deal gamers, I'll let you in on the secret "Business-Side" of things.
This is a chart of the # of people Steam recommends IdleOn to during a Sale. See how it goes straight down to 0, and stays at 0 for the whole thing?
Yea so that's a bad thing, but its part of every sale since IdleOn is a free game. It's unavoidable, and if this was just a random small QoL update, I would post the update no problem. I'd lose out on some "hype" from the update, but a small QoL update doesn't have much hype to begin with so nothing of value would be lost really.
But this isn't just a Small QoL update, its also Language Integration, hence the new ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ that will appear on Steam with this update.
Since I've never done language integrations before, I cannot say whether this impacts the algorithm, although I think its a very safe assumption it will considering how few "non english-support" games I personally get recommended to me.
So we are left with this Nash Equilibrium chart, with Our choice being "release now, or later", and Steam's choice being "Does the algorithm hurt f2p updates made during a sale, or not affect them (Hurts or Fine)".
As a result, I can only guarantee minimum damage if I DELAY the update.
This also means no 
St. Patrick's Day event like I was hoping, but this does open the door to a possible "Spring" event later in the month!
I'll keep you guys posted on what I work on for the next week until the sale is over. Until then DANCE WITH ME GAMERS, dance the pain away
fiery citrus
Be honest, would you or someone you know have found this hint handy at first?
This is one of the things I'm always on the lookout for that goes unnoticed -- small, newbie friendly things like this!
You wouldn't see these getting recommended by longtime players, but probably 2/3rds of people I talk to and see playing the game for the first time spam-click monsters. Like, the entire time, until I cant take it anymore and tell them they don't have to xD
Also, I've been mulling over the rift for quite a while now, and am VERY glad I didn't release it any earlier than I will! I'm still tinkering with exactly what direction I want to take it in, but due to its significance to the late/endgame, I think this patience I've had to come up with exactly what is needed will be worth it
(For the uninitiated, the Rift is meant to be an "endless" feature that gives concrete goals to shoot for, instead of players having to come up with their own goals to achieve after beating the most recent world released!)
Are you ready for the Rift, considering you unlock it at Octodars in World 4?)
fiery citrus
Which would you rather see as the update after the 🇫🇷 & 🇩🇪 Translation/QoL update:
The Rift (endgame grindfest so people don't have to come up with their own endgame goals)
World 5 Tasks & Merit Shop
Both of these will come soon, just looking for the Order you'd want them in

Quick Questionnaire:
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has NEVER played / heard of IdleOn before
Would you care about seeing this early access development pic? (In other words, is "proof of development" something you think about when trying a new F2P game)
If you think "maybe, but I'd just scroll down to see the "About this Game" section", then vote
or
This is the current "About this game" section. Pretty nice, but I'm thinking it doesn't quite SHOW what IdleOn really is. Sure it explains it, but words are cheap.
Do you think the page would be better if this was animated? Like actual mining / fighting / monsters flinching
This is what that 2nd picture looks like -- its a GIF.
Do you think the page would be better if I used THIS gif ("this one with the clock), instead of the current one (the one above with everyone standing still)
🧠 Remember, this is for people who have never played the game, I'm trying to convey what IdleOn is as a concept. Obviously this isn't useful for people who already play the game.
Also, see in that last GIF how there are materials on the ground by their feet? Do you think you'd like it if the game actually did that based on what your characters were doing?

Deciding on the 'last' Merit Shop bonus, which would you rather purchase...
🇨 +6 total "Alternate Particle Upgrades" per day -- these are the things you can currently get up to 40/day. (You can buy this 5 times)
🇭 +1 total bubble upgraded by "No Bubble Left Behind" -- you can currently get up to like 6 bubbles per day. (You can buy this 3 times)
🇦 -1% Atom Upgrade Cost Per Day, 90% chance to reset when you upgrade an Atom (You could buy this 3 times to lower the % reset)
🇲 -5% Atom Upgrade Cost. Yea, just straight up reduction perma. (You could buy this 4 times)

Hello. Gamers. I am once again asking for potential translators to help bring IdleOn to more people. Mmmm!
As some of you may understand, there is a lot of nuance to Translations, and with a game like IdleOn, I trust the best translations come from someone familiar with IdleOn as opposed to just a random translation company (who may just be using Google Translate 
)
This time, I am looking for 🇰🇷 Korean, and 🇯🇵 Japanese -- please read below if you are interested:
- If you are 100% fluent in both 🇰🇷 Korean and 🇬🇧 English, or 🇯🇵 Japanese and 🇬🇧 English, and are good at translating, I would love to hire you for translating work - the $/hr paid via Paypal, or if you would prefer gems/hr that is fine too.
- You can DM my alt account @lilac fulcrum with the following: 1. Credentials on your translation experience, 2. How much time you'll have to translate over the next two months, and 3. How much $/hr or Gems/hr you would want for your time.
- I will be selecting the best qualified people to translate! I'm looking for 5 to 10 people per language!

Watching you all scrounge for bread and berries whatever other stuff I conjured up... I cant even remember what I called them myself... was honestly kind of boring. I guess that's what I get for being an immortal grumblo deity, I've kinda seen it all.
Huh, I guess thats... it...? Damn why do I even work for this guy, if hes so immortal than he should have time to clean up his own messes.
... oh hang on, there's stuff written on the other side, haha I forgot paper has 2 sides and all that:
For indulging in my trivial shenanigans, I have conjured up some things that I think you will find more appealing than korkos and like, babans or whatever. I have created some of the most desired IdleOn items known to gamer-kind, and I will give them out to those who indulged the hardest. For each group of Gomm, I shall select the winners... 1 2 3, like that. Ok so stop reading this part out loud to them, this is just for you. Remember those wheels I gave you? Yea so like those have their names on them, just give those a spin and tell them who won.
Uhm no I don't actually know what wheels he is talking about spinning, I was told I'd just be cleaning. Let me look around, they're here somewhere Im sure...
Ok wow, there are no wheels here at all, just looked all over. Only thing I found was a picture of a prizewheel, with something scribbled in sharpie reading "haha discord's webpage wont let you copy-paste more than 5 names at a time, making your task of creating a prize wheel of the 100s of people absolutely impossible!"
Thats it, to hell with that blue bum of a deity, I'm just gonna give out the prizes myself...
I cut out the picture of the prizewheel, and I'll use the sharpie to write down 20 people from each Gomm. Then, I shall spin the wheel once for gommtrutru, twice for gommtru, and thrice for gomm!

i hope you've all enjoyed the rift so far; i gotta say i think i did a Very great job with it, and i only say this because it's possible thanks to so many of you who continually engage with the game in Meaningful ways -- as you know i do spend a lot of time talking with players and seeing what they post about, what they discuss, what they Appreciate or dislike, and that all floats around in my mind and over time allows me to add this type of content that can feel both meaningful and impactful, as well as make some older outdated content like trapping Not feel like such a burden.
if you did enjoy the rift so far, and have been enjoying idleon, please do leave a steam review here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1476970 
it's a great way for me to gauge how much people genuinely enjoyed each update (more enjoyment usually means more people obliging and leaving a review), and it's one of the way as i said above that i can further tap in to what i need to do with idleon moving forward
Also while the above is true, i should probably also add that i get the dopamine 🆙

So if you want to contribute to that... that's also a valid reason to leave a steam rate

As for the confusion/discussion around the V-cooking talent, without giving away any spoilers:
The applied bonus is correct, the displayed bonus is incorrect -- it shows a number way higher than the actual bonus. I have both fixed the display to be 100% accurate, as well as buffed how the talent works so that it does give a big time number, and always stays relevant.
fiery citrus
I'm looking for a few QoL changes to add -- if there's something you've always had in mind that I've never added, please leave a comment on my subreddit post on r/idleon

This QoL update will come at the same time as the new Event, which I hope to get out THIS week!
While I'm here, yes there is a slight issue with Vman (rare chance each time you do a speedrun for maps to not re-unlock themselves). This will fix itself next time you do a speedrun, but also next update this issue wont happen at all. Also, while you will continue to 'lose' kills, I think I will add a bit of a recoup for kills, maybe up to 2M for each map based on your highest kill character.
fiery citrus
fiery citrus
Let me lay this out plain and simple:
There was an issue that happened because of a mistake I made.
People saw this, went 'this isnt right', and didnt interact much with it, and will not be affected.
Some people exploited this error, and they will have their accounts adjusted backward, simply removing things they could have gained from this exploitation. There is no ill-will from me to them, although I will not back down from the stance that this was beyond obviously an exploit.
And worst of all, some people like you want to try and hurt me by trying to "peer pressure" me into changing. No, I will continue to have fun with my players and cultivate a lively community despite this mistake of mine, and a cowardly 1 sentence reddit post made while being an arm-chair critic won't affect my character or the people who have come to understand who I am from interacting with my work for multiple years.
Thank you everyone for your patience, and for those who have shown a bit of empathy toward what is a stressful time for myself.
This is my statement regarding the events and people trying to bring me and my game down with it. I hope you understand, and I hope you enjoy the new Seasonal Update when that drops in a few days.
fiery citrus
Hotfix out. Back to working on next update!
fiery citrus
Ending note: If you aren't someone who exploited, don't be fooled by people in the reddit debates. You needed to click on a literal infinite gold trade (i.e. trading 2k gold bars for 4k gold bars) a whopping 1000s of times. People did this for several minutes straight. People who clicked a few times out of confusion were absolutely NOT affected, as they did nothing wrong.
Their 'punishment' was having sailing partially reset, losing their gold bars ofc, and having 3d prints reset as prints could be artifically boosted from having infinite gold bars. I'm not going to stop anyone from having opinions, but people who were overly rude over this (telling people so S'ck D'ck etc) were banned from the discord, because fuck that.
No accounts were banned.
Also, I have given 511 to EVERYONE who did not engage in this 1000-click exploitation (have to have unlocked w5 tho), because I really do appreciate everyone here who follows me on my journey.
fiery citrus
Event is out RIGHT NOW!
I've listened to the feedback of the last event (50 daily baggies took hours to drop for many), and have boosted the drop rate significantly so you can get right to opening your rewards!
See #patch-notes📝 for a picture of the kind of rewards you'll get completely FOR FREE, since there's no gemshop purchases for this!
--
Also gamers, while I've already spoken on yesterdays situation, I must stress that there will always be room for improvement for me (if you've followed me for a while, you know that yesterday itself is proof of my own dedication to improvement).
While I don't agree with some of the negativity of seeking absolute perfection, as I've done a fantastic job for the last 6 months and simply got caught by a bug that lied dormant since November 2022, I don't want anyone to feel 'incorrect' for being upset, hence why there was free and fair discussion all throughout discord and reddit chat.
And frankly, I thought I would leave it at that, didn't think there was much more to cover, but I would be a coward if I didn't also point out something that is taking place somewhere that most of you probably dont think to look, but I think you'd want to know about if you care about IdleOn:
These are the two most RECENT reviews out of many over the last day.
Yes, these are exploiters who are straight up lying about not taking part. I think we would understand their frustration and empathize with them if they felt the punishment was too hard, that is something for me to consider going into the future, but this is not right.
While there is always room for critique, something I always keep and eye on and is quite frankly one of the reasons IdleOn has grown into the game it is -- this update has boosted event drop rate thanks to player critique, last update added the 'place traps for all' to the trapper drone thanks to player critique, lying should not be a valid or acceptable form of critique.
Summary of this being, I want to make sure player feedback is an accurate representation of the actual state of the game. If you think this is fair, despite the great run we've had since World 5 launch in December and my own honest efforts to handle things over the last 24hrs, then thats fine.
**But if you don't think this reflects the truth of the entire situation, I encourage you to leave a Steam Review voicing your opinion **
Thank you again to the vast majority of you who kept it civil, regardless of where you stand on this. There are valid opinions and thoughts on both sides of things that I appreciate and take to heart moving forward -- something my work will continue to reflect over time. Enjoy the free Spring Event, and maybe get some of the rare 1-in-1000 items from the baggies!

Lets go gamers, another record. Vman update, free spring event... I'm gonna keep going with great new updates. New QoL posts coming next!

So the future content blog will be random snippets of my conclusions from those. I will say, sadly, that one of the things not on my list is a 'master preset' system, namely just because no perfect solution has come to mind for me for implementation.
That being said, my list currently has TWENTY TWO QoL additions, including systems that address Statue Depositing, and maybe certain Quick-Ref functions!

I also may update the Roadmap -- I'm always assessing 'the next update' based on player feedback and reception, so just like with the roadmap it won't have a 'definitive order' but rather a 'soon, later, much-later' grouping.
fiery citrus
A note to those wondering where I've been and are eager to get back to more content: as you hopefully understand, I felt it was best for me to stick to my main mission as a creator -- working and delivering on actual content for people to enjoy. Put simply, what I've always cared about most is that **A: **my game is fun, and B: a whole lot of people play and enjoy it. For A, the game itself hasn't changed, no new or old content restricted; my focus on gameplay being fun and complete regardless of companions will continue, because fair balance and ability to experience all content has always been what has kept the game alive and thriving for almost 3 whole years now. For B, the last update enables me to bring the game to even more people than just those who have already found it; you may not know this, but unless you were here since November 2020, you yourself are likely only here because of similar updates I've made in the past that allowed my marketing/sponsored vids to reach you. Fortunately for all of us, the truth is that the game is as fun as it was before, as evidenced by more people playing today than two weeks ago, and with continued hard work on my end and constant engagement with the true community who simply want to have fun playing and appreciate the dedication I've shown over the years, the game will only get better and better and community grow larger and stronger.
Quick word to iOS users, I am happy to say the current Kattlekruk Boss v1.86 is available to you without delay, and that companion purchases will come to iOS without a doubt in the next update!
.
And as I was saying a few weeks ago, here's an updated 🗺️🗺️ROADMAP🗺️🗺️ for the next few months
Minor Spoilers: Some of the NEW ITEMS that have arrived in v1.86 KATTLEKRUK FIGHT update
fiery citrus
Islands will not be related to sailing at all (and are unlocked as soon as you reach Omar, well before w5), hence the visually distinct "raft" concept as opposed to a sailing boat
🏝️
The general concept will be slowly unlocking new islands (idle feature), with each island having a "gimmick" to it (active features).
However, these 'active' features will react to how long you've been gone for, so you're free to check in on them however often you feel. Of course, daily will be better than monthly, but weekly will be about equal to daily.
fiery citrus
The board where you will 'spend' your "message in a bottles" picked up at the dock to find new islands to travel to! You'll get to unlock islands in whichever order you want (although some will be more expensive than others), and I will likely add a description to each island even before you unlock it so you can make your own slightly informed decisions instead of needing to rely on others' information
fiery citrus
Try to guess what the first island will be -- this is its inhabitant
I will post answer tomorrow in the form of a devlog about the island, the first one specifically
fiery citrus
TRASH ISLAND!
You actually get to visit the islands, and do the various activities they have!
Navigating between the islands will be an easy 2 clicks: Tap raft, tap location. This way when you do decide to check in on your islands and 'farm' them, it isnt a cumbersome activity.
fiery citrus
Double... something... (one of the currently 12 available upgrades throughout Island Expeditions)
🐪
1000 🐪 and I'll make this upgrade be "double the amount of humps on the camel"
oh and ill also double the amount of future content posted today, and post a 2nd thing 
fiery citrus
Take another look at the ones in game if you're confused
oh also just started drawing this absolute FIEND
It will be occupying one of the islands... waiting for your arrival...
10 min update
Show me more FIEND as u go
Nono dont show more, i want to find them in game
fiery citrus
Now maybe some loose straw flying...
More straw?
Also, if this most recent one looks "snappier" on impact, its because i redrew the 2nd frame lol:

Yea I'm out here WISin' it gonna be feasting on shimmers with you all very soon
Oh btw, there are TWENTY TWO (22) different Shimmer Trials
so you won't just have WIS each week
Some things to expect for the update:
Hopefully released by this weekend, but thats just to give you an idea, I will have a definitive deadline later.
I think there is more content than you may expect based on my posts, each island is pretty different from the other and each fun imo
The content is slower than you may expect -- islands will take days/weeks to unlock, since I want Island Expeditions to 'unfold' as you progress through the game, as opposed to all at once.
bababooey
fiery citrus
Should island costs all start pretty cheap, but each get more expensive whenever you buy an island?
NOTE: either way, the 'first island' you get will still cost the same, and the 'last island' you end up getting will still cost the same. THIS WILL NOT MAKE UNLOCKING ISLANDS EASIER
⚠️ Please vote only if you understand!
Pros: Gives you more power of choice, you really get to choose what order you want to unlock islands. If I make the costs 'set in stone', like 1 5 25 100 250 1000, then you sorta have to get them in order or your stupid
Cons: Because you have choice, there's a chance you make a BAD choice and unlock islands you don't like earlier than the ones you do. Although, this could be said for the "set in stone" since maybe the first islands are ones you dont like..?
Here is some reaction bubblewrap so you dont blindly vote above:
fiery citrus
Everything is basically done including private testing, just need to run though things a 3rd time to be sure and get through iOS verification

I'm going to find the people who 
and un-upgrade them IRL see how they like it 
For those curious about the summer event, it will be the NEXT update, and after that will come the W4 / W5 "completion updates" with new quests and completion trophies
Current update status:
The update is ready for PC, and I'm about to submit to iOS and Android for review. If all goes well (~80% chance) update in ~16 hrs from now!

Took some days away thinking about how exactly I want to go about making the next update...
Im thinking some sort of weekly... challenge. Think Killroy except the challenges are IDLE and more diverse than just killing.
The rewards would be almost purely cosmetic, like these perhaps..?
Would you be interested in such rewards HMMMmmmmmmm? ...m?
The one thing I will be avoiding as I design it, is having "check in tasks" throughout the week as contribution
I dont want any "walk here, do X which will take 10 seconds, then go to Y, do that. Done."
You'll see, but point being I'm hoping taht each interraction you have with it sparks a "ah yes... how SHOULD I best progress through this?." instead oh just "oh, I have to kill mobs again"
See you all in the coming week! hope you are looking forward to more of those funky lookin guys ive been drawing! More on the next update devblog too!

Hey idleoneers just wanna say I've been really thinking hard about what this next content update is, hence the lack of interesting "new content" posts here for this whole month of september -- I'm not counting the last update as "new content" since it was just a little side thing with a few minutes of gameplay -- it's hardly worth writing about as many of you probably just assumed this, but I felt it worth saying to keep you all in the know
In other words, I've had quite a few "meh" ideas I've mulled over for the last while that I could have gone with, which may have been semi-exciting to some for a little while, but you know I always like to really put my best into this brand-new stuff, so thanks for waiting and I hope to bring you some neat snippets and spoilers of it when I'm fully confident in the idea
(Fortunately, as you could guess, I'm only saying this all now because I think I've finally solidified exactly what I'm gonna do, so I don't think I'll be in this 'thinking' part of the update cycle for much longer!)
fiery citrus
fiery citrus
Awesome upgrade reveal! although if you haven't unlocked this content yet, the image will appear locked
fiery citrus
wow awesome post lava let me just whip out my microscope real quick
You'll do a lot more than just upgrading... but you'll have to wait and see what that will be
Also it has come to my attention that the shading of the word "complete" is blue, not yellow. Should this be changed to yellow?
Ok it will remain blue. Your voting has saved a total of -37 seconds of development time (I spent more time holding this poll that it would have taken to just change the colour)
fiery citrus
Guess what bonus this will give when upgraded:
+X% All Stat per POW 10 tower defence kills of all time
+X% black and white wizards who have a floating clock next to them and some graph below the previously mentioned clock
+X% dmg per second for all towers, resets when a new wave starts
why are you not voting for are you all stupid?

If you are unable to connect when opening IdleOn, there an issue with the server on Google's end.
At least your characters are still grinding while we wait 
EDIT: Google resolved the issue as of <t:1700102324:R>, they will be 'publishing an analysis' on wtf happened -- I will be reading it whenever it comes out and if so will post a summary here! Sorry again for the inconvenience!

World 6's first skill: FARMING!
Spoilers of how skill works: ||Grow crops, spend them to boost unlock new plots of land and boost your farming abilities! Find new seed types, acquire magic beans (wont say how or why), and gain powerful in-game bonuses based on how big your crop collection is, and it'll get pretty big!||
Note: This skill will have 0 overlap or similarities with Gaming. Apart from them both being loosely 'plant' themed, the gameplay is more similar to... cooking, if anything at all.
fiery citrus
The 2nd skill, which is what I will be posting about from now, will probably be the weirdest / most ambitious skill system in the game - not necessarily for the amount of content, but the variety and uniqueness of the system.
Because of this, from the go I am designing it to be very low maintenance - it will likely be in QuickRef, and all of the 'active' components will be decision making (no babysitting). Also I will be designing the management system in a way where it will not become bloated by endgame, learning from the less-fun aspects of certain skills of the past thanks to player feedback
Summary: Skill 2 will be very multifaceted and will have you controlling your 10 characters in a system (similar to Alchemy / Construction / Lab), but in a VERY very VERY different manner than normal, but everything will be designed around the system being un-cumbersome.
Also, just like with Farming, I will only be posting snippets of the content. There are tons of things in-game that will not appear here in the blog

World 6's 2nd SKILL IS...
Spoilers of how skill works: ||This is the 'main' skill of the world and unlocks most of the bonuses, similar to Sailing in World 5. Controlling the "Ninja-Twin" version of your characters, you will ascend an abandoned ninja castle, avoiding detection from the 'guests' of each floor and finding useful Ninja items and weapons to aid in your sneaky pursuit to the top. As you ascend higher, you will earn more and more Jade Coins which can be spent at The Jade Emporium to unlock game-changing bonuses to other content!||
⚠️ If you want to go into world 6 BLIND, do not click the above 👨🦯
Spoiler-free discussion:
It's interesting to look back at my first description of this skill as
"**... the weirdest / most ambitious skill system... **"
and while I think its 'true'in some good ways, it also turned out false
in other ways, but like for the benefit of the fun of the skill. Let me explain:
True: It is so unlike any other skill in the game that I'm more curious to see players' immediate reaction to it than any other skill before. If someone had told me "I need you to make [description of this skill] work in IdleOn", I'd probably just laugh because compared to something like Farming which is easy to imagine, this 2nd skill is just so out of left field that it's almost comical. Also, none of the skill hinges on RNG for excitement. This was a decision I made based on player feedback, and the fact that w4 and w5 already had RNG skills (finding new meal recipes, artifacts, etc), and helps lean into the bizarreness of the skill and how it progresses.
📅 As for a release date, it's too early to day definitively. In my mind, I'm thinking late January, but could end up mid February. ||Ignore the emoji saying July 17th, the emoji is, quite frankly, stupid, and has no concept for the development cycle of IdleOn because paper is dumb like that||
But as always, I will announce a SET release day at least 7 days in advance (just like I did for World 4 and World 5, both of which were released on time.
Have a nice holiday break gamers

Thank you everyone for being a part of the BEST year of IdleOn ever! Here are some stats on just how great we all did:
There were 23 updates, at an average of 1 every 16 days!
The discord gained +35,000 members, from 100k to 135k!
📈 We peaked at 9,919 concurrent Steam players, which is a +92% increase from 2022's peak of 5,148
💬 We said 10,372,530 things (total discord messages sent), which is a +49% increase from 6,946,711 things during 2022
Hi gamers I wanna be a part of the discord recap! I, the mighty grumblo, was mentioned 58,470 times this year, up from 43,647 times last year!
I hope you've all had a wonderful 2023, inside and outside of the IdleOn world!
Next year will begin with World 6 Spirited Valley (Jan/Feb tentative release time), so keep on grinding and get ready for a whole new world and a whole 'nother year!

Final Skill 3 image
I've finally "done" everything in world 6 -- that is to say, there's no features / content I still need to figure out which is very good
there's still lots to be completed, like new recipes, bubbles, all the "normal" things you'd expect with a new world, but all 3 skills are fully figured out (and completed other than Polishing, Balancing that sorta thing).
Still no official release date. As I did for world 4 and world 5, I will be announcing an official release date ~2 weeks prior to its launch.
However, my hope is to start private beta testing end of Jan, and release mid Feb, so if all goes to plan, I will **have **a release date by early feb (the date itself WONT be early feb. Mid feb or later)

Was very close to an update today, 
was ready, but have issues with / -- been spending a lot of time on Engine improvements, which has slowed things down considerably, as well as going on a 7-day Sickstreak since getting sick last saturday
Wanted to thank everyone for your patience with an update, hence no messages at all today, but since I don't think that's going to happen I wanted to still catch everyone up to speed and still say thank you for your patience recently!
TLDR: There is a Weekly Update #5 "done", just not today because of engine stuff (sucks in the short term, but will benefit everyone longterm)

I know I don't have to do this, but for people genuinely asking if this Google delay is real, yes -- this really is day 6 of waiting for them to review an update which usually takes them ~45 minutes
I won't let this stop anything though, next update isn't being delayed by this 😤

Days of waiting 🗿 And thats only so far 🗿 Could be another 7 🗿 Could be another 70
While I will always try to have platforms release at the same time/within a day or so of each other, I think I need to add in a system that allows for individual platforms to release incase one takes 7 freakin days

I'm just going to give myself mastery ranks every day to cope
There's a sweet 1.15x DMG MULTI at Mastery 9!

I sent google a ticket since we cant just lay down and die at the hands of no review, they said its been "escalated to our technical team for further investigation" like its some sort of crime scene lmao
I still think this is just something google does to... maybe keep developers "on their toes" every year? I really don't want to let myself start worrying that this will happen more often, but regardless I'm definitely going to change things so that I'm not at their mercy nor apples mercy

Minor feature in the next (next) update
I wanted to say miner feature but its unrelated to mining
and yes I legitimately have grown an addiction to refreshing my google dev page every hour

I dug through a few of the previous times this happened -- the most noteworthy of which is v1.07 SECRETS update, from January 2021
It was uploaded January 13th, and was stuck in review until January 22nd, and based on the time of day it was stuck in review for 9 days, 6 hours
We have currently waited roughly 8 days, 9 hours, so maybe within the next 24 hours?
Cope with me

Just got another email (not from the support that answered my ticket, but from a different one) saying the update has been expedited.
We very well may be in for a tomorrow release -- as upsetting as this has been for all of us ||and there really isn't a reason for this to be happening, it's not like its a Political / Financial / Government app that needs strenuous reviews||, at least it was for a minor update and not World 6 update.
Gl to us I'll see you all tomorrow

Granted, if you dont play a new update on Steam or Web, you can continue to play the (older) version on Android/iOS, so there will never be a point where you are locked out of playing at all
But the point is, if google decides that its 1.9 trillion dollars still isn't enough money to have a proper review team and doesn't approve the next update for 12+ days, the update will be available on Steam/iOS/web (and if you ONLY play on android, you can still play the older version)
Make sense?

Hi everyone welcome to day 12 of waiting
fiery citrus
Day 13 got me feeling a certain way fr
fiery citrus
Day 14, I got an answer I am pretty confident is a real human answer, and it seems like Google Support is actually disconnected from the review team itself
In other words, the Google Support guy himself is in the dark too and has no idea whats going on. So we really do just need to blindly wait.
fiery citrus
So yes, you heard right. Not only are we waiting for the update to be reviewed, but we are also waiting for the** Google Support's request for the update to be expedited** to be reviewed itself.
I have been told, by Google, in no uncertain terms, that if i resubmit, we go straight to the back of the line. So I will not be resubmitting ever.

Only 0.5% of idleon gamers will understand what this is for :-)
Do you know what it'll be?
fiery citrus
How about now? (No, not gemshop related, like literally not even 0.01% relation coefficient)

Update, which includes all that stuff above, is done and being tested.
Did you end up figuring out what the stuff above will be?
fiery citrus
It's already been over an hour and this update is the one with the version control... so if it gets delayed again, we still have to wait again T_T
It's either going to be approved within the next hour, or 7+ days, no inbetween not even kidding
