Well, folks, the Unity install fee fiasco is now a distant memory. It's almost certainly already the case that 99.99% of people who see this steam page will have no idea what on earth we were even talking about. However this game, we think, is still fun! So we took the time to re-write and re-brand. But how to do it? What fits? Well, AI mania, of course! It's a perfect fit. Install-Fee Tycoon has now be transformed into AI Tycoon - to have a fun, loving poke at the current ongoing unpredictable insanity that is the expansion of AI in our economy. If you're an old player and that sounds interesting, boot the game back up and give it a shot, I'd love to hear what you think.

This patch is primarily for bugfixes and some minor improvements! Code 'time' revamp!Code 'time' is no longer a game of luck, but instead a game of timing. When you click on the button to redeem this code, or manually type it in the promocodes box, you will be given the following message: Are you a bona fide time teller? Let's find out. If you can click the button between \ and \ seconds after pressing 'OK', You win \ Quarks! Due to how long it has been since your last attempt, the rewards are multiplied by \. Clicking the CANCEL button will not consume your time attempts. Pressing the OK button starts the game. You must then press the OK button again within the range of times provided to you (this range will be displayed while the game is in progress for your convenience). If you press the OK button a second time within the stated range, you win! Because you are given the time bounds ahead of time, a master of time can win this minigame every time! Changes: The tolerance for 'time' is now 1,000ms (1 second). A random number from 6 to 21 is selected. If you press 'OK' within 1 second, either early or late, you win! (So, without any upgrades there is a two second window)Cookie Upgrade 11 adds 25ms of tolerance per level, expanding the window by 50ms. The final level guarantees the rewards, even if you don't win under the rules of the game. You can still play the game if you want, though.The base Quark reward is reduced from 125 to 25, because you can now always win the minigame.You gain +5 Quarks as a base per highest Singularity, without limit.Removed the diminishing returns on the Quark reward (This is a buff for lategame players).Stats for Nerds improvement!Fixed the alternating highlighting lines in each stat box. They are now actually alternating!If a stat line does not contribute to the running total of that stat, then you no longer see it! There are a few exceptions, namely PseudoCoins ( )Balance/QoLONE MIND and HALF MIND now give a 1,000,000x fixed speed, ins...

Hello,This is the development team.A bug has been discovered and a hotfix has been applied.1. Fixed an issue where item slots and actual item information did not match.2. Fixed an issue where Gold could not be obtained when performing Alchemy on certain items.We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Thank you.

This update addresses two serious bugs that could cause you to lose the game through no fault of your own. strongly recommend updating before your next play. I'm really sorry for any frustration these issues may have caused. Time Warp Bug Using Time Warp was accidentally speeding up enemies and resource generators instead of only affecting the intended targets. The more you used it, the worse it got. Enemies would arrive earlier and earlier, eating into your available play time. This has now been corrected so Time Warp only does what it's supposed to. Chapter 7 Final Secret A balance misconfiguration made it impossible to unlock Chapter 7's final secret through normal gameplay. This has been fixed and it's now fully reachable the way it was intended. Other Changes Chapter Memory actions no longer affect resource generators. Some Chapter 7 actions now use total less time. Fixed multiple typos found throughout the game. NOTE: Every ending and secret in this game should be completable without relying on bonus of Chapter Memories. If you find anything that feels gated or unreachable through normal play, please let me know. Thank you all for the feedback and support!

The restriction that prevented listing items for sale on the Market has been lifted. You can now list items on the Market again.

Updates Added a Tooltip to Challenges Button. Added a block so player cant abandon the tutorial challenges. Changed Abandoning Challenges to only require 1 confirmation. Bug Fixes Fixed Bank Teleport not changing the world colour back. Fixed Challenge Grand Master art and title in achievements. Fixed Firemaking Challenges for cores using the highest recipe level requirement. Removed the crafting challenges for sinew

ANOTHER few bug fixes before the next update. Fixed issue causing Danditty Plushies and Egg Bench spawning as wrong furniture. Fixed annoying noise when holding over inventory over sell box. Fixed visual bug with opening inventory over mossy rock minigame in Rocky Retreat.

Hey,I just dropped a release-day patch that includes:General balance tweaks across various features (including life/work buildings)Building descriptions now show up to 5 "+" symbols instead of 3Updated the Steam wrapper (I heard about some issues, so I hope this helps!)And most importantly:You can now select "none" as the sound for work/break ends, clicks, or task completion.Have a great day, Dan

Early Access & Demo (0.5.4) UI wide layout (allows to have the chronicle always on top). automation type and priority UIs are both in the action list now.There are more changes to come in next patches regarding usability of the Automation/Priority panels. prioritites higher than 10 will be set to 10 which is now the maximum value number of cycles in milestones displays properly (it was one less than it should) untranslated text when entering new zone tooltip for special training icons was partially hidden under the actions list. (internal) added labels for accessibility now you can see what happened when you died. core special training actions moved to “exploration” category. yellow now you cannot upgrade the camp in ruins without building it first. automated drink tasks now start a bit earlier, so you are not left with 0 hydration. gray removed all known soft-locking issues (but not the ones I don’t know 😉 ) end dark (gray) mode

This should help with descriptions readability on smaller screens and devices. - fixed effects description value display in Korean. - removed the "erase save file" button from the settings. - removed save buttons from the settings when in the title screen.

We know there are some bugs related to the skill tree when using the Russian language.Sorry for the trouble, and we’re working hard to fix it as soon as possible.

It's time for another update!We've fixed a few things, tweaked a few things, and added a few things. Here's the breakdown. If you want to suggest feedback or report bugs to us feel free to join our Discord:https://discord.gg/Q9G2ebdNf7Steam AchievementsWe've been experimenting with Steam achievements for the full game so why not bring a couple to the demo? We've added the following achievements:Meet the ElderDestroy 1k Ore1 MILLIONMountain MineshaftOMG!If you should've unlocked these achievements already then they should unlock when you launch the game for the first time after the update with the exception of OMG as we had no way to track that previous to this update, sorry!New ContentWe've got a few new things for you!A new bomb ability has been added to the pickaxe tree. Rather than a small sprinkling of random bombs, this is a bomb you can place to cause a massive explosion on those pesky blobs of ore.The Ghost Pickaxe can now be unlocked in the pickaxe tree. Previously only available through the pickaxe crate ability or dice roll. You can now unlock the chance for bonus picks to sometimes spawn as a special ghost pickaxe instead! Real scary stuff. Visual ChangesWe have changed some things, visually.We thought the old grey background needed an uplift. We've got a new background with a different colour per menu/location, with slightly slower movement and bigger squares to make it less distracting.We have also changed the font on the popup/damage text. It's now a little easier to read but not quite where we want it to be - we'll likely change it again before release but we hope it's an improvement for now.Full changelog+ added steam achievements+ added steam stats+ added big bomb ability to demo+ added special ghost pickaxe to demo+ added new background+ added unique colour backgrounds for each location / UI menu+ added credits menu+ added option for toggling goblin noise= updated popup text font= update pickaxe upgrade tooltips to be more in line with our improved...

Quick patch today to fix some issues with game performance, and UI inconsistencies: - Fix mouse cursor delays / hitches, should be smoother now, but let me know if it gets worse - Updated some window ordering issues in the UI that could cause windows to have a fade layer above them instead of below - Removed some validation checks from game simulation to speed up performance on some lower power machines

Before we dive into the hotfix notes, we want to take a moment to thank everyone for the incredible support, feedback, bug reports, and patience you've shown since the release of Version 2.4.0. As part of last week’s Lofi Girl Collaboration update, we upgraded our underlying game engine. While this allows us to build a better future for the game, it also introduced some unexpected technical complexities. We’ve been closely tracking reports of "fatal errors" and crashes, and today's hotfix aims to address them. Here is where things stand for each platform: 🖥️ Windows Players Intel CPU Fatal Errors: We found a permanent fix for the most common "fatal error" affecting newer Intel CPUs utilizing AI boosting features. This is resolved in today's hotfix. "Hang Detected" Crashes: We’ve received reports from players that these unexpected crashes have disappeared with the new engine version, which is fantastic news! Save File Corruption: The engine upgrade appears to have resolved the rare issue where save files could break during an unexpected game shutdown. We are crossing our fingers that players won't need to rely on save game backups moving forward. 🍏 Mac Players (Apple Silicon - M1/M2/M3) We have included a hotfix to address the performance drop introduced in our last update, and should fine with today’s hotfix. Note that Apple Silicon users have not experienced the any "fatal error" crashes. 💻 Mac Players (Intel Processors - 2021 and older) This is the hardest part of today's update. We have spent the last week trying multiple ways to fix or work around the "fatal errors" plaguing Intel Mac configurations, but we have run into a hard technical wall. The latest version of our engine changed a significant portion of the rendering backend, and it simply no longer aligns with the architecture of older Intel-based Macs. Because of this, we unfortunately have to pause future updates for Intel MacOS users. This was not a decision made lightly. As a small team, we have to bal...
