Dual-rotting got sharper in Death Automation: dead humans now decay on a tighter 2-day window with carry-over decay into bodies, so late harvests actually hurt. Also shipped a building art + UI readability pass. #indiedev #gamedev #idlegame #incrementalgame #godot

I know this sounds like a random markov generator came up with it but IGTAP: an Incremental Game That's Also a Platformer looks amazing. It does the impossible of mixing an Incremental game with a platformer by giving you some coins each time you complete a loop which can be spent on clones who copy your best time. You have an incentive to keep trying the same little loops because speed savings add up. Using those coins to unlock new movement tech lets you find shortcuts in the loops and hunt for loops you couldn't reach before.

I can't wait until the full version comes out.

Worked on New Death Automation pass: smarter contextual hints, clearer upgrade descriptions, and rebalanced achievements so progression feels less guessy. Still tuning pacing, but the loop reads way better now. #indiedev #gamedev #idlegame #incrementalgame #godot

I tightened purchase clarity in Death Automation: 1x cost is always visible, selected 10x/100x costs now show correctly, click behavior is cleaner, and Death Worker Shed upgrades got a fresh balance pass. #indiedev #gamedev #idlegame #incrementalgame #godot

Changed early ressource gathering clicks are now split (left = souls, right = bodies) with X/Y shortcuts, plus a Settings toggle for smart routing. Added buy modes (1x/10x/100x/MAX) in the Building panel and a hold-Alt shortcut overlay. #indiedev #gamedev #idlegame #incrementalgame #godot

Manual Click Split, Buy Modes, and a Shortcut Overlay

# Manual Click Split, Buy Modes, and a Shortcut Overlay I wanted manual play to feel less mushy. So I split the click actions: left click extracts souls, right click processes dead humans into bodi…
