I’m still working on a few things before I send another release but it’s getting there and it’s looking good. Slowly ticking off the things in the Trello, even though things are being added to it faster than they being ticked off, but still. Eventually it will even out.

And due to the penalty of upgrading “often”, I have officially been taken over as one of the higher totals by someone who recently started over from scratch, while I have endured from the beginning…
Oh well, if you can’t beat 'em.

Is it rude to enquire as to your ad statistics? Do you have stats on how many have downloaded it (and possibly even geographic data, like is it mostly local SA downloads?)?
Like how many ads have been viewed, what’s the daily ad viewing, stuff like that

I’d also like to know whether (optional) ad revenue is actually a thing or not. We’re working on some consumer apps and deciding whether we should pursue ad revenue or not.

As I said in the beginning I don’t mind being open about this if anyone is interested. I’ll get what I have so far quick…

This is just showing all the data that is available if you’d like me to show that. I just couldn’t show it all as there’s so much.

It’s Google. There’s so much data but all anonymous at least. I don’t know who is who with anything.

Oh yes. I had an idea on how to handle the upgrading of the minimum time for the bonus object to appear. Instead of dropping the minimum time until it appears every second I’m rather going to make it that you can lower the MAX time of it appearing. That way it can appear at it’s fastest at 30s at a time. Just a thought.

I want to add a timer to the Upgrades section, what do you think of where to put it and size?
And maybe expand these buttons to the same size as the top one, maybe even do the same to the Main screen buttons also. There is space and then I can move the timer in the corner to on the button. Maybe…
The timer will disappear when it hits zero and the button will change to the lighter blue.
I’m leaning to the smaller bottom one. I don’t want to bloat the upgrades narrow images too much as there will be scrolling and scrolling happening.

That could work - maybe try it - if it doesnt we will break it for you

So my game broke two days ago, the away time 2hr auto earning wasn’t working, I was getting about 2 seconds of earnings instead of 2 hrs. But, I knew if I upgraded then the supernova would be nerfed and I was really enjoying my 4-8 hours of earnings per supernova. But I can’t play while I drive, so eventually I gave in and updated. Boy, the nerfing was far worse than I expected. I now get so little with the supernova that I can earn more just tapping for 10 seconds than bothering to catch supernova. Hopefully my away time earnings will be fixed. Also, at 25c per ad watched, I think I’ve earned you a decent cup of coffee already just watching the Instagram Reels ad. It’s the only one I get these days.

So in pressing undo a few times Android Studio deleted my one file, the layout file for the Upgrades page. Sigh, that was quite a bit of work. I do have a backup but it’s a few days old and I’ve done a lot in that time. Well, will just have to rebuild. At least all the code is still in another file, just have to get the layouts to slot into the code names.

Time to learn how to use SCM like Git then. And get into a habit of committing every hour or so.

You were warned. Starting over i realize that with the penalties in your “long term multiplier” there really is no reason to upgrade at the start until at least 10k%. You only fighting boredom. My bonus multiplier will never increase as fast as 1st time. Since after first time upgrade speed is halved, and u know I’m not gonna more than double my number of structures. then next (2nd upgrade) time will be 2/3 speed of 1st time… and so on. So the longer you hold out the better you do relatively going forward once you bite the bullet.
Really not a fan of penalizing upgrading
Would it be possible to know the reason why it’s a factor? Is the only idle game i can think of that does it
