comments for TypeIdle
sort: go backi like the concept it's a good concept very engaging but i hate the ai images (its so obvious it just feels kinda sloppy)
addendum the jokes about women maybe dont do that? idk who writes the jokes but i dont wanna see haha wife bad or women coffee while im playing the funny typing incremental
developer response: The jokes about women have now been removed.
Agreed on the AI images, just draw something crappy in mspaint and I'd be happier. Hell, just use stock images
cool concept but the ai and the misogyny..... the ai and misogyny is not good
ai generated slop in my galaxy? more likely than you'd think
The good:
- Typing is a great concept for an incremental game
- Each building has a unique effect
The bad:
- AI. Please don't use AI images, they're unethical to use and don't even look good
- Half the "jokes" are misogynistic "women bad"
- So many different tabs that just exist for the sake of it; I think a good incremental should revolve around a couple core concepts - in this case the typing, but now there's also wordle and a hacking minigame and a stock market and a memory game and they're just not actually adding anything
seems good, but AI is unacceptable. just use ms paint like others said.
As I said on the incrementaldb site, using the slogan "Improve your typing speed" on an idle game isn't a good approach. You have to play actively if you wanna improve your typing speed, which defeats the purpose of an idle game.
I finished the content. Nothing really scales well this is more of an active game with incremental elements. Also I type at around 90 wpm. This really isn't an idle at all. Progression is basically 0 unless you stack arena and wordle buffs and have fast wpm and accuracy. The rest of the minigames serve no purpose because passive income is so low. The memory game, arcade, stock market, casino and stocks are just there to fill your time they don't actually give you any benefits at all.
I would not be surprised if this entire game is ai-generated, from the code to the tool-tips to the buildings to the "news" (half of which are actually computer puns, mostly focusing on being misogynistic). The images are obvious, but the non-existent balancing, the needless tabs, some of which do nothing at all, and the stilted writing makes this feel like an ai interpretation of what an idle game is. Even the main concept doesn't work, because you have to be active to type, and no amount of upgrades will make you type faster. Play anything else.
ahahahaha misogyny jokes women bad 😂😂😂
shit's not funny at all.
The use of AI images is of course a problem, but beyond the ethical considerations it just doesn't... fit. The imagery doesn't feel like it belongs in the game, it doesn't feel cohesive, it doesn't provide any kind of meaning or value beyond what text or an icon pack would, and it's just plain noisy. Hell, a modern icon pack/font lets you style individual elements, so you can make upgrades upgrade the icon instead of just being some new fresh visual mess cluttering the screen.
I'm not a fan of AI images but I do find it funny it was only two weeks ago another game showed up on galaxy using them and nobody seemed to care then (4.3/5 rating as of now)
AI is so unnecessary. Like others have said, you can either easily do the art yourself or just use stock images. I'll hold off on rating.
why does an idle game need analysis cookies
I'd rather write a story than writing random words.
I really like it! mechanics wise its seems pretty good! AI art is undesirable honestly it may be better to use stock images or just mspaint stuff, i know for small projects like this its not easy to get nice art, but AI art is hated more than bad art.
All in all, I could see this being a pretty interesting game if expanded a bit. making the minigames more spread out in progression, adding upgrades to each minigame, stuff like that could add a lot of fun!
Good concept but I think you need to focus on depth and quality of features instead of quantity of features, there's 8 minigames but they're all not very deep (), more things doesn't mean something is better, also agree on the ai generated images, looks kind of silly. Not a fan of the "jokes" either.
Well had some fun for a while. Casino game was fine spamming single bets but buying features felt like a big loss. memory game with numbers can just be removed... you can just copy paste the numbers so kinda pointless..
ai generated images is crazy
