I would really love if people filled out this Google Form survey, so I have a good idea on my player base's wants and needs for the best idle/incremental game experience. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/jUQ2jT9vWhH9XBhWA

I'll provide more details on what will happen to the current Idle Research, but to keep it short:

  • Game will be playable and live, not replaced by Idle Research 2.

  • Cylinders will not be a thing, but I may provide a UI playground area to paint a picture on what I had already worked on.

  • Bugs will be maintained.

  • Features may be slightly tweaked.

  • Performance improvements.

  • Purchases of any kind will be transferrable to the new game in some way.

...essentially, I will work on fixes when I have extra time.

This game is still in early access, so I have no idea what I want to do in terms of moving it to full release. If anyone has any advice/ideas, I'm all ears.

Anyways, that's all I have. Again here is the optional survey: https://forms.gle/jUQ2jT9vWhH9XBhWA Questions? Let me know :)

Thanks everyone for the positivity this week, it's making me miss game development. Zach / Considera
