High Fantasy Idle

Introducing HFI's 4th Class - the Thief! The thief is a brand new class with brand new gameplay coming to the HFI playtest/beta! Let's go through it.Heists 🏃‍➡️Heists are the main gameplay loop of the thief - break into various areas, triumph over the random encounters, and score some cool stuff! Heists take place in Districts (kind of like Squire dungeons), with each District becoming progressively more challenging.Complete these encounters by performing different skill checks, based on your thief stats. Expect hidden loot, locks to open, guards to avoid, plus more!Complete heists for gold and the thief's brand new collectable item: TreasureTreasure 🪙Treasures are obtained at the end of a heist - sometimes multiple can be found in one heist!Treasure grants stats not just for the thief, but other classes as well!Collect multiple of the same treasure to increase the power of that treasure's primary benefit.Also unlock additional power at 25%, 50%, and 100% total completion of each treasure. These rewards are different from the treasure's primary benefit.New Rebirth Stat - Luck 🤞Gain more Luck on the thief to improve your chances on most encounter checks!Luck of course interacts with the other classes too! Expect it to buff things that have a chance to happen, like crit.Offline Progression 💤The thief's primary gameplay is more active in nature, but don't worry! There's substantial idle and offline systems at play too.Each unlocked District will improve your passive XP and Gold Per Second stats (you start with some passives!), as well as power up your Loot generation.What is Loot?! Loot is a new currency only generated passively, which you can use to buy copies of treasures you've already found! Use it to hit specific breakpoints or finish off a collection!Story 📖While the thief does indeed do "ethical stealing" of gold and treasure, information is also a key item waiting to be found. Discover more about what evil plans are already in motion for this world.I'm so happy...

High Fantasy Idle now has a PUBLISHER!I have decided to partner with 2 Left Thumbs to publish HFI and I couldn't be happier. Here's all the details:Who is 2 Left Thumbs?2 Left Thumbs is an indie friendly publisher ran by Graeme, a Youtuber turned publisher!Graeme has seen several titles to their conclusion; check out his Steam publisher page here: https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/2leftthumbsHe's a big fan of the newgrounds/kongregate/flash games of old, which is a great fit for HFI having it's roots and inspirations from so many browser games!How does this affect HFI and its development?The bottom line is: Having a publisher takes a significant load off of me and allows me to focus more on making HFI. This helps me focus on making HFI as great as it can be and leaving the non-dev tasks to the professionals. Not only does it take those tasks off my plate, but he is also going to do a better job than if it was me doing everything on my own.Graeme has already been helping me in the background for several months, including helping me with the hunt for an artist (we are looking at applications now!) and recording a let's play video for the last Steam festival! He's also going to help develop future trailers for the game. As a Youtuber, he can put together wayyy better videos than I ever could. :DWhat isn't changing?I retain full control of HFI and how it is developed. That stays with me!The discord community will continue to be managed by myself and Khalida.Ko-fi isn't changing; still the same subscription and benefits. (If there's anything else you'd like to see from Ko-fi, let me know!)I will still add silly secrets to the game because I can't help myself.It's soooo rare that an idle game lands a publisher, and I hope more idle games get these kind of opportunities in the future too. It wouldn't have been possible without this community; thank you!
