sounds cool, downloading now

hi, this looks pretty solid so far. I just have a few suggestions:
1: When baking manually, could you make it so the menu doesn't reload every time you bake a cookie so you can do it faster? Or better yet, have a hotkey like enter in the baking mode where you can quickly bake cookies.
2: How about importing the original cookie clicker's achievements, upgrades and buildings into the game? Based on the framework you already have in place, I doubt this would require much coding and legally it would also be alright since you're not selling the game. All the data you'd need you can find on the cookieclicker wiki.
3: I don't know exactly by how many percentages the building costs increase each time you buy a building in the original game, but could you please make it percent based rather than everything just going up by a flat rate?

HI,

wow, thanks for all the replies so far

@deathtime
I hope so, cause right now we have browser incremental games, which are good, don't get me wrong, but this kind of incremental games are a nice twist to the original varients we currently have.

@conner

Thanks for your suggestions, i will take a dive in the cookie clicker wiki and see if i can include some more of the original cookieclicker game.

A hotkey can be easely included, but baking mode will become available when you have purchased at least a single automation upgrade. As said, a hotkey can be easely included in baking mode, i don't know if that will do for you?

With the current framework the menu has to be constantly reloaded, so this hotkey could be a valuable addition.

I agree the pricing is done rather oddly, but i will take a look into making it more percentage based. Any suggestions on how large the increase in pricing should become for each automation? Cause right now, the original pricing gets added on top of the price. For example, the automation cookie costs 20 cookies by default, but 40 if you want to have a second one, 60 if you want a third one etc.

Keep the feedback coming guys!

Hi,
Yep I am definitely hoping for grandmarpocolypse. I think there are some other thigns in there like giant cookie and some sort of scifi element as wel at one point.

This game is alright, but I don't like keeping it on too long because it warms up my laptop very (and I mean very!) quickly. It's rather laggy (but this has been mentioned in the readme.) I think you're blocking GUI events from processing when the game is in baking mode, because the title bar flashes almost like it's become unresponsive. Same thing happens in the menu.

It seems like you're throwing the game into an infinite while loop with no Yield to other threads while in baking mode...

HI,

@ 10 & 11

Thanks for reporting the lag issues, i have noted it down to improve upon this system, so lag hopefully won't happen to much anymore.

It's really bad when it lags on a system like mine with an SSD, 2.9 GHZ Core I-7 system. This is a system that loads Visual Studio in about three seconds. LOL. For a simple game like this, there's no reason it should lag so much and take up so much processing power.

Hi.

thanks a lot for the game, and hope your having a good christmas. I'm afraid though I'm running into  problems.
I can bake cookies, but firstly the menu resets each time I hit enter on "bake cookie" which means i need to bake another cookie.
then, once I buy one automated cookie and go into  baking mode,the screen says "achievements" and literally nothing I press fixes that e, the game completely freezes.
Nvda gets stuck on a window that I can't exit. the music continues and a sound which  I assume is cookie baking, but nothing works, I can only close the program with task manager.

The first achievement box "new breadcrumb in town" did close okay and go onto the menu, but I wonder if there is a problem with the second? Either way hope the game gets fixed as I look forward to progressing.

Oh, and as a last miner comment, could we please use some different background music? i always think of that track as the  one from screaming strike.

Its nice to hear, but baking cookies and noisely knocking out  your enemies are two rather different things :d.

Btw, sorry about the negative comments at christmas. I will admit I'm on my laptop which has a  slower processor than my desktop, I'll try the game on my destkop and see if that makes a difference, though I won't be able to do that until thursday.

Until then, hope everyone is having a nice  Crimbo thus far.

you know, the baking mode in general seems a little impractical to me. In all idle games, the game usually keeps running and generating more stuff as you go and buy your upgrades, units etc. I wonder if this game could do that as well?

one way you could do it is to have the screen presented with several tabs. So you could be in the game, your automatic producers would be baking away. You'd be able to see the bake cookie button and possibly press space or enter on it, but if you pressed tab, you could enter the store which you could browse with the arrows, and while you're on each item you could press hotkeys to see how many you already have and how many it costs. If you pressed tab again, you would find a button that let you open a stattistics view like you have it now, and if you tabbed again you'd be back at the baking button. This would probably require recoding of most of the interface though, I wonder whether there's an easier way. Also that screen could get cluttered later, if things like ascending, sugar lumps, wrinkles, gold cookies etc. are ever added.

sorry I didn't explain what I meant about baking cookies very well (my computer was on a slowdown for some reason).

What I mean is when you hit enter on "bake cookie" your put back up to the top of the menu, meaning that rather than having to just click or press a key to bake cookies you keep having to hit downn arrow to find the option again and again.

As to   the achievements thing, yes, hitting s to stop baking cookies did let me interact with the menu again, though I still seem to be stuck on a pannel that just says "Achievements" all the time and won't let  interact at all, indeed I can't check achievements for some reason at all, I have to hit s to interact with the game once again even when I earn an achievement which is a little frsutrating.

As angel says, this isn't usually how autoamted clicker games work, usually they go on producing irrispective of what you do.
Still I'll wait for the update and see what happens.

Thanks again for the game and the work your putting in, it is appreciated.

Hi Mike. that sounds cool.

I have played a while now and bought various things, but again I can't see achievements so I'm not really sure how I'm doing or how things are interacting with each other, or even which objects I should aim to buy next, indeed it might be helpful if there were other bonuses around or goals rather than just buying more and more producers of a single resource, then again I realize this is the start of development  hopefully this game is going big places.
