[Game] Dwarves Mining Idler

[Sylian]

Hey fellow emuers! I've been working on a game with my friend for quite some time now. It's currently on Steam store as "Coming Soon". If you're into the idler genre or enjoy big brain dopamine due to number go up -- consider wishlisting! If you aren't sure what an idler is: It's a game that plays itself with slight micromanaging. Think of Cookie Clicker, for example. Each idler has their own grind factor. I have thousands of hours in Idler games and the ones I've played, the progression isn't all that great because most you'll hit this grind wall that stops. When you hit that wall it's like it takes a week to progress. I've come up with better ways in allowing the player feel like they are progressing even when waiting on the grindy portion of my title. This is my take on a unique experience for an idler/semi-idler game.




Considering reading this news post before casting judgement: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2220570/view/3701436427284018417
Even for the most basic content of a game, it does cost quite a lot. Most of what you see on the store page are placeholders.

This isn't the end of my game creation streak. I'm currently working on a unique UI-Based RPG. My friend and I have been working on the story, concept, etc. since last year and moving to development portion. It's out of the box thinking, something that game developers need in today's world. Here's a rough example of the combat (ALL TEST/DEBUG):

I'm not a fan of idler games but bro, that's awesome! It's nice to see you've got a game plan layed out to help keep you on track. I wish you the best of luck

It actually took a great deal of time to create everything. Design, code, etc. With my limited time it took around a year 1/2 for the current state. Still working hard like a champ \o/

Appreciate the words!

Just finished a news update today too.

Dwarves Mining Idle - Dwarf News: Update #2 - Steam News

Ready for another update? Well, I am! In this update I'll be going through what we've done this week, updates on artwork and more! News #2 I really didn't enjoy the look of the old UI artwork. It didn't fit any of the theme I'm trying to go for. But here we are again, with a new UI and all! With...

Thanks, bud. Honestly, I've been experimenting with UE5 but I just cannot get in to Unreal. I've been using Unity for years which makes sense I'll build a game with what I know, but holy balls the complexity of Unreal with how I want to go about things is incredible. I love their UI editor, but I really dislike how they handle UI creation via Blueprints.

It's great to see how much influence emulation had on so many people <3 I just released my own YouTube live counter/scrapper

Crazy thing is: Yes, I was inspired to learn code within emulation, but overtime I wanted to stop editing someone's existing game and make a game for myself. So prior I learned C#, creating software at first, learning a game engine or many game engines secondly, and eventually I created my own experience with game developing. Right now I currently know more than a few languages and I'm pretty proud of it.

Not to mention my biggest creation that exists to this day thanks to Foereaper and Rochet2 is Eluna Lua Engine for WoW Emulators.
