Femdemic v0.8.1 Release
Added 2022-09-26 14:03:06 +0000 UTCUPDATE: v0.8.1 has been released, which contains some balancing changes, as well as a new specialization (Goblins).
Hey everyone,
I didn't actually stop working during the last few days of my holidays. I know.. Shame on me. But I've been laying next to the pool while doing so at least and I've achieved a new major milestone for the game.
Get your links: http://www.rel.pink
V0.8.0 comes with a complete overhaul of the mutation boon system (including rebalancing), as well as showing you if the next host is easy or challenging to play.
Just to be clear... the different difficulty levels per host have existed before. You just couldn't see it before mutating.
An easier host may be faster, but taking on a more difficult one rewards you with more specialization points after you've achieved world domination.
That's a new reward in v0.8.0 with which you'll be able to unlock new virus specializations for your next run.
A lot of people have been asking for this and I was hesitant at first, but I just went with it as a replayability mechanic.
Hope you enjoy this new version and as always let me know about your experience on Discord. But this time I'm only going to read it when I'm back in Germany for sure. I mean it. No, really.
See you,
Rel

I like the game so far, but my Ryzen3250u which usually handles light gaming flawlessly, starts to struggle as more cells or units are displayed on screen. An option to disable or reduce the amount of graphical effects would be much appreciated. The first hour or two of playing were super smooth, but then the more upgrades I bought the laggier it got.

2022-10-22 00:31:38 +0000 UTCWell I can really only answer that it‘s an idle game and therefor it‘s supposed to take time. But the increased costs per mutation is already reduced to be less than the power of the boons. It was way slower before. It’s okay to find that tedious. Just.. it‘s probably not made for you then, which is fine. Idle games are a special kind of game that is very much about enjoying the grind. It‘a definitely not a game to play as a main activity. No, the two areas can‘t be maxed. You only get specialisations after completing a full run, which is about 20 mutations. Specialisations are a replayability feature, not part of the first playthrough.

2022-10-16 19:40:38 +0000 UTCI like the idea, but it is waaaaay too tedious. The mutation boons don't help nearly enough compared to the scale of the upgrade. 100 more production per click or 5% more production is a drop in the bucket compared to the 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 you need just to get the first useful unlock. Also, do arousal and occipital lobe ever max out? Everything else maxed out when I was in the trillions at most, and those two are in the 10ab/sec range and still haven't maxed. And how do you get the specializations? I haven't seen those yet and I'm on the 5th mutation.

2022-10-16 12:22:58 +0000 UTCI see. Well, sorry, but it‘s not really possible to go into deep problem solving in the comments of a post. It‘s also the first time this is brought up but if I get any additional reports of this on discord, I’ll look into it.

2022-10-16 12:06:58 +0000 UTCNo I’ve got a single monitor.

2022-10-16 12:04:36 +0000 UTCAre you on a multi monitor setup? I‘ve seen that on monitors with two different resolutions, the click position becomes a bit off, but there‘s nothing I can do about that.

2022-10-16 07:51:28 +0000 UTCSo the click detection is really wonky. I keep trying to go to certain parts but it will take consecutive clicks or it wont move at all.

2022-10-16 02:29:40 +0000 UTCThe level up is there exactly to raise that tension between idle and being there. I don't like the fact that most idle games just give you a huge pile of progress if you turn it on three month later, so the idea of the cap is to create ceilings for that. Not sure about the balancing since the decrease in pace per mutation has already been massively decreased. I don't think there's a wrong way of picking boons though. ;)

2022-10-13 13:42:19 +0000 UTCOh ok. I like the game (I've spent "years" of my life playing clicker games in the past)... the replay/reset just feels a bit slow each time through. Thus my request... cause I'm finding it hard to find a "good" balance of active vs idle play. The pause feature is making me "need" to more active for me, as I need to babysit the pause. And thus if I'm already babysitting it, I mind as well click... but it is quite a bit of clicking, which then makes me want to be idle. But.. I can't be idle too long cause then it'll just pause, so I mind as well click... what a viscous cycle I put myself into.. (resulting in me actively playing for 8 hours yesterday and a very tired finger, lol.) I wonder if I'm somehow playing this "wrong." Like picking the wrong upgrades or something. I don't actually understand what many of the upgrade options do.

2022-10-13 13:31:52 +0000 UTCwell... sorry to say this, but that's the exact reason that mechanic is there.
Rel
2022-10-12 06:25:53 +0000 UTCCan it be made so that when an upgrade/evolution/what's-it-called happens, the game doesn't "pause." Specifically in the context that it feels like the current balance is a long term idle game, I hate when I go away for 6 hrs.. the game ended up paused after ~20 mins cause I finished current tier "upgrades"

2022-10-12 05:36:58 +0000 UTCNo, if your host died, you can‘t save it. Sorry. But this must have happened shortly after your last interaction since it only happens from leveling up transformations too quickly.
Rel
2022-10-03 11:28:06 +0000 UTCI'm struggling with "Connection to host lost." Is there something I can do about this? I haven't saved in almost 5 hours of playtime so I would reallllyyy like not to have to redo it all. Thanks!

2022-10-03 11:27:23 +0000 UTCWell then... World domination, Here I come! >=D

2022-09-30 17:08:24 +0000 UTCYou‘ll only get the points after fully taking over the world. Sorry for teasing.

2022-09-29 14:38:38 +0000 UTCDo I need to start a new game to be able see these options? On the second "Hard" mutation and still yet to see this menu.

2022-09-29 12:34:32 +0000 UTCExcellent I'll take a look, I feel like the information on host difficulty being shown is a big plus.
