Game Updates

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4267800/_/ Hello, dear gamers! Long time no see! After the last round of playtesting for Bandit Simulator TD, we received a ton of feedback and suggestions from our players! Now, the game has entered the full-content development phase. To prove we're still alive and kicking (and not slacking off), and to share our recent progress with you, today we're giving you a sneak peek at the character content we're currently designing. Five Thousand Years of Chinese History, A Galaxy of Heroes The game currently plans to feature over a hundred iconic historical and cultural figures from China's five-thousand-year history, covering all major dynasties and historical periods. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45936264/322fb0ac19b9a668ffd85d3f937e339a7aba02e1.png Following our principle of "heaping portions to keep you full," we're striving to design as many characters as possible, each with diverse styles and traits. This is just a glimpse of the Special Character Pool. In the future, we'll also be adding more characters to the Random Character Pool and the Rare Character Pool! We sincerely beg all our brothers and sisters who enjoy Xiao Mang's games to Follow + Wishlist (click, click!) ↑↑↑↑↑↑! Game Introduction TL;DR Keywords: Tower Defense TD + Base Building + Idle Clicker = Addictive & Satisfying This is a simple game that combines "Tower Defense Combat + Base Building + Idle/Clicker" mechanics. The game simulates the development of an ancient bandit stronghold. Combat is based on Tower Defense mechanics, paying homage to (and blending with) several classic genre masterpieces (like the Warcraft RPGs Bandit TD, Element TD, Immortal Simulator, etc.). We've refined and simplified these concepts, combining them with idle/clicker gameplay to deliver an experience that is both "satisfyingly addictive" and "simple and relaxing." Every character acts as a fixed tower. They don't move on their own. Whether it's combat, gathering, or crafting, everything is carried...

Fixed an issue where settings could automatically reset to default values.Fixed an issue where the farm could disappear when opening Simple Mode for the first time.Fixed a possible issue where the game could appear blurry on Mac.Fixed a possible issue on Mac where Accessibility permissions could not be selected.Synced cloud saves between Mac and Windows.

Thank you for playing Limitless Survivor.We are currently working on the following balance adjustments and new features for future updates.Extra Mode Balance AdjustmentsWe have received feedback that the rate at which enemies become stronger in Extra Mode is too high, making progression take too long or preventing players from progressing further.To address this issue, we are planning the following adjustments.Adjustments to enemy strength in Extra ModeBalance adjustments to reduce performance differences between weaponsWe will continue working on these changes so that players can progress through Extra Mode using a wider variety of weapons and builds, rather than being limited to specific options.Drone FeatureWe are planning to add drones as a new combat feature.Each drone will have its own unique attack ability and will effectively function as a sixth skill slot to support the player in combat.Drones are planned to be obtained as drops from enemies.Further details will be announced once the specifications for this feature have been finalized.Other Feedback and RequestsWe have also received various other suggestions and requests.We will continue reviewing them, considering their implementation, and gradually applying suitable additions and adjustments to the game.Thank you for your continued support of Limitless Survivor.

Hello everyone, We are opening an opt-in public beta for the next major version of Idle Spiral. This update rebuilds significant parts of the game's internal infrastructure, including save data, account systems, UI, localization, and the shared PC and mobile foundation. Because of the scale of these changes, we want to test the update with volunteers before moving it to the default branch. Your feedback will help us identify problems and bring the update to every player as soon as possible.What's Included - Hanoi Tower, a new endgame feature unlocked at Tornado Prestige Tier 100 - Major UI redesigns and an ongoing migration to Unity UI Toolkit - Performance improvements to startup, rendering, battles, automation, and saving - A new validated JSON save format - Improved backup, recovery, and save Export/Import tools - Google account linking - The new Idle Mileage system - Numerous bug fixes and usability improvementsAccounts And Cloud Saves Google account linking and the shared PC and mobile save format are now included.

We plan to enable and test cross-platform synchronization gradually during the beta after completing the necessary safety checks. Local saves, manual backups, and save file Export/Import remain available.Important Save Notice This beta officially supports migration from the current public v2.7.7 release. Existing saves will be migrated automatically on first launch, and the original pre-migration data will also be preserved automatically. After launching the beta: 1. Open Settings > Data. 2.

Hello Everyone, IDLEPUNK - Ghost Link is entering Early Access and will soon be available for everyone to try.I wanted to take the opportunity to thank anyone that will play it and/or takes the time to leave feedback.I started working on this project back in 2024, when I wrote a few stories set in a cyberpunk world. Seeing those stories evolve into this little game fills me with joy, and I’ve had a lot of fun throughout the entire process.I can't wait to keep working on it and adapt more of the stories and add more fun mechanics (hopefully).--Lorenzo IDLEPUNK Games

Hello, this is the developer of EClone Station. Hotfixes 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 have been released. Coins and Progression Earning XP now also grants the same amount of coins. The existing level-up coin bonus remains as an additional reward. The starting balance for new players has been increased from 100 to 500 coins. Existing saves will receive a one-time 400-coin adjustment. First Launch and Starter Environment The tutorial now begins after the game language selected through Steam has been detected. The initial tutorial now includes color settings for hair, eyes, and the researcher outfit. The starter furniture and character placement has been rearranged. Existing rooms that have been edited by the player will remain unchanged. Controls and Multiplayer Furniture direction can now be changed with the E key while placing it. Multiplayer names and messages are no longer obscured by furniture. Room hosts can now remove participants from their room. If you encounter a problem, please let us know through the Steam Community Discussions. Thank you.

Heartbeat Patch 2 — there's a new skill in this one Patch 1 was four small fixes. This one got away from me a bit. ⛽ New skill: Skimming (and the Flow) The Drift's twelfth discipline. Trawl the nebula gas-bands for volatiles — eight tiers of them, Drift Vapor up to Singular Condensate — then route them into the Flow: pick one lane (Process, Bay, or Combat) and your volatiles burn, highest tier first, to run that whole lane faster. +6% at tier 1 up to +20% at tier 8, for as long as you keep the tank lit. It's a gather skill whose entire point is making your late game quicker — an economy, not a stat stick. All nine new items have bespoke art and full wiki pages. One honest note: Skimming's achievements are built but can't go live yet — the game is at Steam's 100-achievement cap. They'll light up when Valve grants more slots; anything you earn meanwhile counts retroactively the moment they do. 🚀 Auto-Charter (¤60,000 automation upgrade) Away-team expeditions run themselves: returns get collected the moment they're back (every reward lands exactly as if you'd clicked), and the next mission launches automatically — the highest tier whose odds clear your floor (Safe ≥75% / Bold ≥55% / Any), crewed by your strongest idle hands. It never spends your credits on rerolls; that stays your call. ⚖️ Warfare levels slower now — here are the numbers Warfare's XP grew ×1.62 per tier while everything else grows ~×1.2, so by tier 8 combat paid about 7× more XP per hour than any other skill — a fitted ship could hit level 100 in ~13 hours. That's a balance bug, not a reward. Per-tier growth is now ×1.28: tier 1 is unchanged, an under-gunned ship earns slightly under gather rates, and a well-fitted one still earns a healthy premium (~1.3–1.7×). Level 100 now takes roughly 66–199 hours depending on your ship. XP you've already banked is untouched. 📐 Account Level, explained and improved "Acct Lv" now shows on your Overview card (hover it for the full explanation — it's your average skil...

Hello, this is the developer of EClone Station. The current coin income rate is too low, making it difficult to access furniture, character customization, and other customization features. A hotfix scheduled for release today will adjust the system so that whenever you earn EXP, you will also receive the same amount of coins. This is the first improvement being implemented. A future update will also introduce additional ways to earn coins independently of EXP. I am continuing to monitor and address the various issues and inconveniences currently being reported. The following additions and improvements are planned for upcoming updates: New furniture and customization options New character expressions and poses Character and furniture interactions Quality-of-life and stability improvements EClone Station is the main application of the EClone Universe—a small station where travelers can pause and rest for a while. I will continue maintaining and updating it while preserving that identity and working toward a more stable and comfortable experience. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the parts of the application that were not sufficiently polished before release. If you encounter a problem or have a suggestion, please share it in the Steam Community Discussions. I may not be able to respond to every post individually, but I will continue reviewing what you share and improving the areas that need attention, one step at a time. Thank you.

Hey miners, I wanted to open up the workshop for a moment and show you what's coming next. Below is everything currently on my desk, roughly in the order I plan to ship it. One thing worth saying up front: Clicker Ore is made by one person. That shapes this roadmap in two ways. Things get built one at a time instead of in parallel, and I'm not going to hand you dates I can't actually hit. What I can give you is an honest order — and the promise that the list below is what I'm genuinely working toward, not a wishlist. The further down an item sits, the less locked-in it is. The top section is what's happening right now. The bottom section is where I'm exploring — those ideas are real, but they aren't promises yet, and some may change shape or move around along the way.🔧 In Progress — Stability PassBug fixing across the entire game. Before anything new goes in, I'm going through Clicker Ore end to end and fixing what's broken. Every system, every screen, every edge case I can reproduce. This isn't the flashiest thing I could be doing, and I know it. But a clicker game lives or dies on trust — if your numbers behave strangely, if a save doesn't load the way you left it, if an upgrade doesn't do what it says on the tin, nothing built on top of that matters. So I'm clearing the foundation first. If you've hit a bug, now is the single best time to tell me. Reports that come in during this pass go straight onto the list I'm actively working through.🌍 Next Up — LocalizationClicker Ore in your language. Right now the game is English-only. That's a wall for a lot of players, and it's the next one coming down. I'm building a proper localization system into the game rather than patching translated strings in one screen at a time — which means once the groundwork is in, adding a new language becomes a matter of translating text instead of rebuilding menus. Every piece of UI text, every upgrade description, every tooltip goes through it. I'll share the language list once the syst...

Grim Reach Patch 0.3.0 - New HavenNEW FEATURE: NEW HAVEN, BUILD YOUR SETTLEMENTThe Reach finally has a place that pushes back. New Haven is your own settlement: 15 different buildings, each with 3 ranks, and every single one gives you a permanent passive bonus. A few examples:- The Watchtower extends your offline progression, from 8 hours up to 11 at max rank- The Smelter and the Smokehouse work while you are away. They slowly smelt ores and cook food on their own, even while you are offline- The Shrine strengthens your weekday blessing effects- The Storehouse adds bank space, and the workshops speed up your gathering and crafting skillsBuilding costs gold and materials, and your work crew needs real time to finish. The first buildings go up in minutes, the final ranks take up to two days. Come back tomorrow and the hands will have worked.You can manage everything from a simple list view. If you like it visual, switch to the 2D map and place your buildings wherever you want, without restrictions. You can also scale and mirror every building freely, so the settlement looks exactly the way you want it to. In the evening (from 7pm local time) the map shifts from day to night.Every bonus is honest and visible: wherever a New Haven boost applies in the game, the tooltip shows you exactly what comes from your settlement.This version is the base. I have more ideas for New Haven that I can't share just yet, and I want to expand on this feature over the coming updates.WOODCUTTING FINALLY MATTERS!To support the settlement, Woodcutting got a real purpose. You now use it to craft dedicated building materials, and higher settlement ranks require them. If you ignored the skill so far, there is finally a good reason to train it.COMPLETE UI OVERHAULThe UI is going through many changes over the course of the next updates. I am always learning, and I want the game to feel cozy, immersive and cohesive. A lot of pages had their layout completely reworked: Companions, Shop, Bank, Quests...

- Fixed: WASD movement was mapped to the actual keys, not the physical location of the keys on the keyboard, which made things tricky for non-QWERTY keyboard users.- Fixed: Some languages had text that went off-screen.
