Tower Ascension introduces a permanent, repeatable endgame loop. Conquer each rising gate, restart at the real Floor 1 with everything important preserved, and return stronger to climb farther than before. 🏰 TOWER ASCENSION 🟠 Defeat the Floor 2,000 Guardian to unlock your first Ascension. Later Ascensions require Floor 4,000, Floor 6,000, and continue rising by 2,000 floors each time. 🟠 Ascending resets the active Tower floor and checkpoint to the real Floor 1. Character levels, Skills, equipment, Inventory, Bank, Gems, Honing, Elements, Grandworks, reward progress, and lifetime Tower best are preserved. 🟠 Every owned Divine item upgrades to the next Ascension gate, including items in equipment, Inventory, Bank, delivery storage, and buyback. 🟠 Permanent Ascension Mastery helps each new run advance faster and farther. 🟠 You may keep climbing after Ascension becomes available, but Overreach pressure rises beyond the gate and creates a hard wall roughly 500–700 floors later. 🟠 The Ascension option remains available until you choose it. 🟠 Tower Archives, Ascension Marks, Eclipse encounters and rewards, Eclipsed Gems, Crown Imprints, and the extended Celestial Forge are now part of the main game. ⚒️ GRANDWORKS & HONING 🟠 Grandworks and Honing are now available in the main game. 🟠 Nightmare equipment can be honed to Rank 5 and Divine equipment to Rank 10 with guaranteed upgrades and persistent stat binding. 🟠 Stoneworks automation now shows exact material totals for the selected number of Honing Stones, where each stone is made, and any Aether or Spire-only blockers. 🟠 Starting, stopping, switching, closing, and resuming automation plans now keeps Gathering and Crafting activity synchronized. 🛡️ PROGRESSION & RELIABILITY 🟠 Tower XP is now bounded by Tower-floor difficulty. Farming easy low floors no longer becomes more rewarding as Combat Level rises, while appropriately deep progression retains its intended rewards. 🟠 Deep-Tower kills remain on the correct bounded XP ru...

Hey everyone, sorry for the late updates and news announcements, I was so focused on getting this ready for early release I only kept the discord channels up to date. Cindervale Idle is officially OUT NOW in early access! The game is available starting August 7th, with a 20% discount launch price. Thank you, to everyone who bought the game, and especially to everyone who took their time to leave feedback and report bugs! I have gotten a wide variety of feedback across all aspects of the game and I plan to work on these in the upcoming patches. Some of the feedback and changes I will be focusing/working on • The UI feeling very plain and needing some changes to make it feel more like a game rather than a bunch of text. I do have a lot of plans for UI updates coming very soon so please stay tuned! • Working on a proper tutorial to help users get acquainted quicker to the game, the current tutorial is very short and doesn't explain too much compared to the overwhelming amount of content at first glance. • Adding music/soundtrack to the game. I did have plans for this and already have some music available, I just haven't put it inside the game yet. • Properly implementing the story/lore for the world of Cindervale. Currently there is almost none, and I definitely want to add more interesting background and depth to this subject as the game gets closer to a full release. • A lot of bugs and other feedback that has been reported will be fixed in the next update which will come later today. This is a one person project, and almost every change that can happen will come from the players feedback. I want this game to truly feel special. I will continue to dedicate as much time as possible to making this game amazing for you. Using the in-game report bug or suggesting idea button on the menu will always send the feedback straight to me. Anything you come across, small or large, feel free to use that to get in touch with me. We also have a discord available that can be found a...

Yes, it's finally time to roll out the Beta Testing! For those that are keen on testing out brand new features before they reach the main game, then this is for you! First, I'll share what's new in the Research Rework, then go through how to jump into the Beta branch.Research ReworkWhy was it reworked?Research has been removed from individual eggs, and into it's own dedicated page. This was based on some fantastic user feedback highlighting that updating individual eggs felt quite tedious and clunky at times, felt underwhelming when it didn't trigger and there was no way to impact global stats. Visually, it has been redesigned into a branching skill tree that reveals with each purchase. Every Research Potion now contributes towards permanent upgrades that improve hatching, variants, affinities, income, and much more (don't want to spoil some of the goodies in there!).Research Potions have now been added to the main header (next to Income per min) so you can keep track of them easier. New Hat and Achievement > Ramen!I didn't want to rework something without putting in a new hat (many more hats will be added in a future update!). There's also a new achievement for completing the entire Research tree. Balance ConsiderationAs this update adds in a huge amount of minor and major changes to various items in the game, this will likely have some knock on effects and cause some of the earning/speeds to be impacted. I will be watching and listening to the Beta feedback to rebalance around this. Before Joining The BetaPlease back up your save file. Beta builds may not be compatible with older versions of the game, so a backup lets you safely return to the Main branch if needed.Paste the below into a folder search bar or Windows+R.%APPDATA%\\Godot\\app_userdata\\Pocket Dinos\\Back up the entire Pocket Dinos folder somewhere safe. (Restoring it later will return your save to exactly this point in time.)Ready? Switch to the Beta BranchThe beta branch is designed for quick rounds ...

Two things in this one: auto-assign takes instructions, and the skill tree got a lot of overdue work. Auto-assign takes instructions Open Skills, hit Focus, tick a quarter. Auto-assign spends there before anywhere else, and the first quarter you tick is the oath it offers you. It used to follow your trade's road and nothing else. Measured on a Fighter: with nothing ticked it never reaches the oath of the old things inside 900 points. Tick it and it opens after 155. It also solves the shortest road to the oath you asked for, so your own trade's oath comes sooner too: 214 skills ticking nothing, 142 ticking the stroke. If you tick nothing, auto-assign behaves exactly as before, and existing saves start with nothing ticked. The skill tree The 8 quarter progress bars were drawn at a radius that was outside the tree when it had 3 rings. It has 5, so they ran through the skills you read them against. They now sit outside the whole tree, clear of every skill. Oaths hung off six rings at the edge of a quarter and four of those roads cut through a ring in between. An oath connects to the middle of two rings now, and neither road passes near anything else. Ring spacing is one rule instead of six numbers, so nothing overlaps. Two skills used to sit 1.9 units apart, which is one dot you cannot read or tap. Closest pair is 28 units now, and a phone tap target went from 22px back to 32. Road stones slide clear of the skills they used to land on. Masteries moved to the middle, and major skills and oaths keep a minimum size when you zoom out. Closing your first ring in a quarter gives that quarter a bonus It paid +0.1 on a d20 for twelve skills of work. It pays that quarter's own currency now, once per quarter: +2% clean strokes in the stroke, +4% attack in the fury, +0.9 rarity in the finding. The first ring in the stroke takes clean strokes from 1.6% to 3.6%. Fixes Masteries open on any major skill in that quarter, like the text says. Taken: X of Y and the quarter bars can reach ...

Hi shop managers! Quick maintenance Hotfix v1.0.0.0.61 is now live! Since the launch of Multiplayer Mode, Cyber-Wall Street has descended into unprecedented chaos. To bring order back to the market and add a bit more flair to your desktop companions, we’ve deployed the following hotfix: 🛠️ Multiplayer Stock Value Anomaly Fixed Fixed a critical bug in multiplayer lobbies where simultaneous, aggressive short-selling and market manipulation by multiple players caused stock values to overflow and completely break the candlestick charts. (The Tiandao calculation engine has recalibrated the gravitational pull of the NASDAQ. Your stock prices will no longer levitate into outer space via infinite leverage exploits. Please stop pushing the boundaries of our backend physics!) 💬 UI Visual Upgrade: Comic-Style Bubbles for Cat Counter We have fully upgraded the cat counter on your desktop pet UI with dynamic, comic-book-style speech bubbles. (Say goodbye to boring, floating numbers! Now, whether you're tallying up your massive profits or just poking your cats, the counter will burst with exaggerated comic-style effects. Break the fourth wall and let your desktop overflow with the chaotic anime energy of your feline workforce!) Please restart your Steam client to apply the update. Happy trading, and may your newly fixed stock charts always point up!

Last week I updated the climate model to accommodate phase change heat and I said it was a mistake. It was a mistake. We've had so many climate-related issues this week. I need to apologize for one of them : runaway greenhouse effect from water was far too common. This update rectifies this. It also includes a large nerf to safe GHG. Not really because it needed nerfing, but because it was just too powerful for what is physically plausible. In terms of new stuff we have a new very late advanced research. I want to add more advanced researches in that part of the game. It's a bit barebones right now. I also added a new difficulty setting for space capacity. This is effectively a major nerf to space elevator. It probably needs balancing, but I want to do so after I also added aerobreaking. They will be able to work together. There is also a major rework of atmospheric chemistry. Stuff like methane combustion if you ever noticed it. Now ammonia and hydrogen can do the same... and they now all generate some heat! So if your atmosphere is indeed set on fire you are going to feel it.

Greetings, Boba Empire Proprietors! After relentless code-refactoring by the Tiandao Studio team, our massive v1.0.0.0.60 update is officially live! Cyber-Wall Street is about to be hit by a wave of cross-dimensional social chaos and ancient Eastern mysticism.

You can now visit your friends' lobbies to show off your meticulously styled cats and cosmic artifacts. More importantly, you can engage in ruthless commercial warfare on the same stock market—colluding on trades, executing hostile short-squeezes, or sneaking into their shops to deploy "hacker commands." (Keep your friends close and your assets closer! When your buddy comes over with a smile and a boba, they’re probably plotting to short your company.) 🏮 New Drop Pool: "Floating Life Pawnshop" Collection A brand-new series of Steam Inventory loot crates infused with classical oriental fantasy has been added to the drop pool. When ancient mysticism collides with cyber-capitalism, the laws of physics are rewritten. 📦 【Drop Rates & Classified Item Archive】 T4 Live Base Models (Total Drop Rate: 0.72% | Individual: 0.24%) Equipped with ultimate passive auras that manipulate the market and defend your turf.

List of changes ⚔️ Army Plans & Combat Order reach now scales with the arrow you actually drew instead of a tiny fixed distance If an order genuinely can't be carried out anywhere, your other fronts return to their normal advance instead of standing still forever The HUD now warns you when an order is not being carried out anywhere Arrows pointed at the sea no longer stay active forever and command wars declared long afterwards Armies line up along the full width of the arrow's jump-off line instead of stacking on a single point Army advantage matters more — total army dominance is now worth up to x2.2 (was x1.75) Hard terrain (forests, hills, marshes, mountains) is around 15% faster to capture National exhaustion no longer weakens your attacks. Instead it makes the army far costlier to maintain (up to x4 upkeep) and drives revolution risk and capitulation — tooltips now explain this properly 🕊️ War Report & Peace Completely rebuilt War Report. Every figure is a two-sided comparison bar: war score, manpower losses, equipment losses, occupied land and exhaustion — you read who's ahead from the shape of the bar Clear progress toward capitulation, with the 75% rule explained The peace button now tells the truth: dictating terms is free, and it no longer advertises a 25 diplomacy cost on wars that were about to open the conference for nothing Every stat has a tooltip explaining what it actually measures The report now fits on short screens and small windows Peace conference claims are painted as smooth, contiguous regions instead of the scattered "noise" you got with several co-belligerents Allies who contributed nothing no longer take a seat at the table — they no longer cut your own claim to a third for nobody's benefit Allied turns at the conference are much faster, and you now get a moment to actually see what each ally took 🤝 Diplomacy, Vassals & Releasing Nations NEW: Starting Diplomacy editor.

Hi again! Just added a Window Size setting (visible when in Windowed Mode) and a fix to the size of the Window when loading on smaller screens. Have a great week!

HelloIf you’re a new player, just remember that Incremental Birds includes three different gameplay modes.You can change the gameplay mode from the Main Menu.- Cozy Gameplay Mode (No Pressure, Just Play): No fail state and no downside to missing.- Difficult Gameplay Mode: If too many birds escape you will get a Game Over but keep your Score/Balance/Upgrades.- Passive Gameplay Mode (Hands-Off Play): Letting a bird escape grants bonus score and balance.So, if you want something relaxing, choose the default mode (Cozy). If you want something even more relaxing, go with the Passive mode. But if you prefer being very active and enjoy tough challenges, then the Difficult mode is the right choice.Thanks
