comments for Steph's Game
sort: go backGood start, but stage 2 gets tedious toward the end, because heart income doesn't scale very well. I tapped out at 1e9. I don't think Bullets are supposed to reduce hearts, but they do. It may be worth considering automating blood upgrades at some point.
developer response: The bullets reducing hearts was added to make VH more impactful, I just forgot to reflect it in the notorious confirmation text window.
Also 1e9 is when you can get immunity to the bullets reduction effect, now you can AFK to get enough hearts!
I may consider reducing it though if enough people want it.
the magic circle is (mostly) translatable! it's really just , and I started from
Four center letters: , starting from noon
Inner ring: , starting from noon
Outer ring: , starting from around 9:45
why I put the (mostly):
dev, did you make the image? if so, really nice touch!
developer response: I wish I was that creative! I'm no artist so all the sprites and such are freebies, the magic circle is from https://www.cleanpng.com/png-magic-circle-spell-evocation-fire-circle-1262970/
use WASD or arrow keys to move your character towards the red dots :p
This game doesn't deserve such a low rating. It's a short but simple idle game that has its flaws, but can be enjoyable once you get into it. I want to see more games like this.
The collectables are so small it took me a while to realize they even existed.
I like the idea of making every update its own separate level. It adds more depth and leaves a record of the progress it took to get to the most recent version
Its not the most polished or balanced game but for a first attempt its exceptional. Fun little diversion while it lasts. Everything seems to work it just probably needed some tweaks back in the design phase to make the mechanics a bit more scalable.
Well done on the first update. All the visual problems are now gone. 5/5 for Developer that responds to comments. Very interested to see where this goes now.
developer response: Ty! just added v0.3
Me: "Woman."
Villagers: "OH MY GOD"
pretty fun! I can't wait for future updates and if you take QoL suggestions I would like to see the ability to quickly buy things by either holding down 'enter' or the left mouse button.
developer response: Autobuyers coming with next reset!
games like this make me think: why are the dick tracey clones immune to my feminine wiles?
developer response: because you're no Tess Trueheart.
Finally, fullscreen sigil!
i appreciate the transparency with the ai writing. the game is cool! i hope you expand more on it! you have a neat idea and a good foundation for something greater.
just learned how this was made. for someone with very little experience, you managed to make something better than i did in my comsci classes in high school, kudos to you!
developer response: Thanks!
Unfortunately however, I think I'm done with this one. It was mostly just a learning experience. I do plan on making more small learning games in the future and probably uploading them here though!
A really fun game, can't wait for it to be expanded ! Just one thing tho : once we unlock auto upgrades, it should buy max each time. For most of them it's fine the way it is but I found out that for the Blood Base Blood Upgrade, it doesn't catch up to my actual blood, like when I was at e118 blood, this upgrade still costed only e50.
developer response: Ahh... an unnamed 1930s gangster got isekai'd and became the best vampire hunter in all the land. since then all vampire hunters decided to copy his look thinking that's where his power came from! (probably)
make a bestiary lol (especially if theres more enemy types coming!)
fun, especially when your range is so high you only need to walk left and right to eat all hunters, but I do hope for something a bit more than just a slaughter without difficulty.
The left and right of the screen get cut off a little. Some of the red dots can spawn in that area so I have to blindly move the green dot up and down to try and collect them.
developer response: fixed
so, I've gotten to around e12 blood in the v0.2, I supposed I reached the end, but please do reply if I quit before a new button appears
developer response: that's it for now, I plan on adding a prestige feature in the next few days (and a save feature). no promises on timeline, I'm very new to game development.
just halfway, also when do you plan on letting me save the game?
I found it really fun to get AFK upgrade and then trying to avoid all the balls.
