Board 8 > games where the numbers go up

(+) Yeah! (+)

oh and the borderlands games. i know you played 2 but what about the pre-sequel? it's on sale right now at greenmangaming and humble for... wow 5 pounds, that exchange rate isn't getting any better huh
---

i played 1 not 2. i'd love to play 2 but my computer can't play games that it played a year ago anymore and my only console right now is a switch
---

ah damn, my bad.

how good is your phone because you could always replay the FF games on there
---

and my switch controller works with games on there which is real nice, it's something i'm considering

Didnt @foolm0r0n make a clicker type game for a game jam that had pixel graphics and involved an empty field that got fillled with vampires and humans and cute puppies (to attract the humans).

Or am i mis remembering.

Yes but as I recall the graphics were literally just pixel squares, like a red pixel was a vampire and a green pixel was a human or something like that

A Dark Room is the one clicker game I can recommend to people. It's fun but won't destroy your life, actually evolves as the game progresses, and has an ending.
---

oh no i'm playing kitten game
---

argh there's so much to this game
---

it has consumed my day @_@
---

aww yeah
---

ok no really this is becoming a problem plz send help
---

have you tried getting some dogs to scare the kittens away
---

no, how much science do i need to unlock that?
---

I have

Literally

No fucking clue what this thread is about
---

This is basically every game ever

I played Kitten Game until I unlocked Community

Looked at the new list of options, realized how deep this rabbit hole was going to go, then closed out because I value my time more than that, at least

I wrote a function in Python that tells me whether it's more efficient to buy more buildings or to buy an upgrade, and tells me the cost of buying x buildings. Help.

so when I saw this topic a few days ago I made the grave mistake of googling clicker heroes

fuck me

How the fuck do I make titanium?

It's been taunting me forever and now after researching architecture it's even more in my face. Is it not until all the way later until I research geology? That's so far away still!

Maybe it unlocks after I make a trade ship and discover a new continent... I really need to up my wood production. Maybe I need to make the mint? I don't really want to yet. My gold production is so slow as it is and I'm doing just find getting resources with my hunters. Though I guess if I have that stuff being made automatically then I could give my hunters other jobs... Argh deciding what to aim for is so hard.

edit: Oh I can turn the mint off after I make it so no gold loss.

It's only of my worst games imo. Fought too much with the engine and couldn't get real graphics in. The balance is pretty off too, but it's still fairly addictive I guess.

megami quest 2 is the best

then candy box 2

the originals of each are good too

Super smash Bros.

Oh...I guess this topic is about pay to win mobile games or whatever?

Not even close but I guess it's easier to just call everyone dumb
---

no, it's literally about games where the numbers go up

like Disgaea, where you start out with 12 attack and then with item world or whatever you wind up with 1354923 attack

it's just that most "numbers go up" games are also idle/clicker games

Injustice 2
Not on the same order of magnitude, but Fantasy Life and Diablo have been mentioned.

I think it's about any game where whatever the official story is, your real goal and reason for playing is just to do random shit for the sake of seeing your character/characters/farm/city/penguin get better at doing whatever random shit they do

Crusaders of the Lost Idols takes the basic shell of a clicker game and adds more depth via formations and hero synergy.


It has made Clicker Heroes seem rather boring to me now.

final fantasy x is totally a numbers going up game

Didn't you play Brave Frontier, where it's game that a bunch of high numbers just flash up on the screen?

NOT HIGH ENOUGH.

I'm only in chapter 4. Portability means I'll probably play this one a lot though!

I was getting overwhelmed in options, and it was becoming much less fun because everything was taking a good deal longer to complete/upgrade. So I decided to go for a method of putting all my focus on one thing at a time, moving as many kittens as I can from job to job, and it's made it more fun again.

Yeah the balance on the daywalker nests is way off. It takes too long waiting for daywalkers to spawn to have enough to commit to the next upgrade, and then it takes at least as long to reach the next upgrade. Meanwhile the living keep accumulating much faster because your daywalkers take a massive hit every time you upgrade their spawn rate. I'd be able to play a lot more flesh if I could just not throw away every daywalker to upgrade the spawn rate. Or even if there was a button to evolve more than 1 daywalker at a time I could use the otherwise unhindered chupacabra economy to supplement the daywalkers, but it would take millions of individual clicks to make meaningful progress manually creating daywalkers.
---

Ugh trading for blueprints. It's not even the random chance of blueprints that's holding me back so much as how slow gold comes in. I really need to hurry up and get to 90k science for that geology upgrade (and also hope the gold increase is actually significant)...
---

Yes for both nests I used a 1.5x exponential factor for increasing spawn rate which is super slow. It should be 2 at the minimum. Puppies used 5x for example. Plus the cost grew at a rate of 1.75x, so after 3 or 4 it would get even more unbalanced vs the spawn rate.

I never played the game for more than like a minute, so I'm surprised it ended up decently playable up to a few nests, but I've definitely done way better last-minute balancing on games before. Like my tower defense where I never played beyond like round 6 but according to others it's perfectly balanced beyond round 50 https://foolmoron.itch.io/keytd

Yeah, but this isn't a problem for the Chupacabra nests because you had goat farms which dramatically multiplied the effectiveness of much fewer goats.

With level 13 puppies I generate 3 Billion humans per second during the day.

With level 16 chupacabra spawn rate and level 13 goat farms my chupacabras (there are only 4 Million of them) have the capability to process 37 Billion dead humans per second.

But even with level 25 daywalker spawn rates and letting the game idle for an hour I only have 25~ MILLION (not billion like the other numbers) daywalkers. And they do not have a multiplier like the goat farms so they are only capable of killing 25 million humans per second.


So every day second 3 Billion humans are spawning and only 25 Million of them get killed. I currently have almost 2 Trillion humans in the field just slowly building up because I'll never have enough daywalkers to put a dent in them. And if I did reach 60 million daywalkers (would take at least another 90 minutes) then I'd be able to upgrade my daywalker spawn rate, but it would cost all 60 million of the daywalkers in the process, so for a slightly higher rate I lose *everything*.



But on the bright side I have 13 million diamonds.


Edit: And I love TDs so i'll try that one out tomorrow!

Ohhh yeah daywalkers are the only one without a multiplier... I must have really been stressed to forget to add that
