Hi.

@jsenter, i've emailed you to test the game, it sounds like tuns of fun.

Sounds awesome, I'm quite the fan of incremental games, and lots of people have fancied a farm game. I've always really liked nano empire and have run through it several times just for fun.

I'll certainly be signing up to the preorder.
Congrats for getting another game out the door which I'm sure will be fantastic.

hey. I sent you an email. Looking forward to this one.

hello, i sent you an email about beta test request. please check it  out. thanks.

I just played through nano empire again, and the idea of a similar but more expanded game really is good.
In particular, I'm a little sorry nano empire doesn't have an actual game plus feature, particularly since it has three different possible. endings to get, and running through with bonuses would be good.
Yee gods though, there is so much to do actually you usually end up trying to try everything once than grinding, especially when your worlds get to level 3 and 4.

I'll be doubly looking forward to this one in a couple of weeks.

what is the cost for the games?

I preordered this, and I'm excited.
It releases Monday!

Okay, as I seem to be awake at weird times I'm just trying this now.
I'm definitely liking how things are working, although I seem to be quite a ways through after a comparatively short time, still I gather there is a lot to discover with the various tasks, I also wouldn't be surprised if there is more to find after the game ends.

I will admit I didn't quite get how fights work, mostly by not seeing the strength rating, so for anyone planning to play, make sure you check things out carefully, also remember that there are other benefits to working than getting cash, and unlike nano empire, things in this game don't seem to keep running unless you physically assign someone, or at least I don't think they do.

One question I do have, is do the exclamation marks mean that a task will progress the story? I thought so but wasn't exactly sure.
I also wonder what series this is based on. Thus far the text is sort of giving me a sort of children of the corn vibe, which is a good thing, though I'm guessing when a tv series  mentioned in the guide there is something specific in mind.

Oh well, back to work I go.

Edit: okay ignore my above comment on being only a short ways through. Whilst I guess there is a chicken out early ending, I didn't go for that one and things are definitely getting interesting, albeit  a chance combat knocked me out of the game for 15 minutes, though since in 15 minutes my auto timers will probably have let me progress more in other areas, this isn't quite as dire as it sounds.

I am also guessing that I might still! not be on the endgame, given the stupidly high stats of one encounter I ran into, unless that's just intended as a wandering hazard.

Whilst I don't think this one will quite satisfy the desire of people who wanted a farm game, as a really interesting story with incremental elements and lots to explore in the vane of Nano empire, this one should definitely hit the spot.

Edit the second: Yee gods this game is waaaaaaay! longer than I thought, and there is so much to discover it's not funny.
Again I might or might not be coming up on one of the endings, but I'm not sure, since it'll take a lot of resources.

The only thing I do not like, is the actual clicking mechanic of the work button, and that is more to do with the way Ios handles taps with voiceove.

When playing an incremental game on pc with a click mechanic, it's easy enough to hammer a keyboard key down and get a good quick click rate. However with voiceover, since you need to double tap or split tap to activate buttons, your rate is either slower or more clunky (when I try split tapping, i always seem to end up either hitting too many times or taps not registering).

I do gather that for each hit of the work button, you do 2x the value required, EG if you have 20 strength, you'll do 40 per click, as opposed to your companions who do 1x value per second.

Whilst your various production values in the game change, the percentage increase from clicking does not.
It'd be nice if there was an option (say in option settings), to have the work button do a greater amount of total value clicks on a slower timer.
I don't know what most people's average is, but say have   5 x value on a 2 second timer, that way instead of trying to hammer away like a lunatic clicking the button, or double tap slowly, you could just tap in a regular rhythm at a couple of seconds and get a similar rate of increase, which would be much  comfortable on the fingers.

Perhaps, if this couldn't be part of the game's upgrades, this could be added as an option, since I don't imagine it'd be too hard to add? Either way, really looking forward to finishing the game, though goodness knows when that will be, really this one is like the magic tree, it just keeps on growing .

Okay, first ending found, and as it took me about five rl hours, that is pretty good going, indeed this one is a longer play than Nano Empire, I think..

Interestingly enough, the ending I got (the first I've seen so far), it was likely the most extreme bad end, but I have ideas of where to go next time, indeed in a way having that end as essentialy a death trap was quite fitting.

My only miner disappointment is that there doesn't seem to be either a record of what endings you've found , or any game plus features to make the second playthru a little different from the first, the way that even games like universal paperclips have, or at least if there are they're possibly hidden, . These were elements missing from Nano empire, which I was hoping to see in Evelyn's farm, since having some sort of achievements to work towards and some rewards for finishing the game multiple times would be a nice insentive to discover all the endings and different story paths, EG perhaps for each new ending you lock you get a boost to either strength, knowledge or money.

Still, I can tell that getting all the endings will be an achievement in itself, even if not one tracked by the game.

In general though, this is awesome! Basically a newly improved nano empire withh characters with distinct personality, a really interesting story, better balanced    gameplay that doesn't make the player invincible in the   endgame and a system of mechanics that is just plane adictive, , , heck I've been up all night playing .
So a five star from me on the ap store and hope everyone else has as much fun wandering evelyn's farm as I have, and likely will continue to have until I've got all the endings.

Indeed, I'll say from a personal perspective, I'll be doing a lot of sitting around in hospital with my lady this week, so this game will be very welcome.

Edit: okay, second ending now found, or rather the obvious and boring "go to college" ending .

A Gain, I'm really wishing there was  a better clicking mechanic. The most efficient way I've found is to rest the index finger of one hand on the "work" button, and drum the fingers of the other hand repeatedly on the screen.

On the one hand, this means I can complete tasks pretty quickly, even when the cost has grown fairly steep (it took about twenty seconds of drumming for my character with 17 strength to get to seven thousand strength to complete the corn  harvesting just now when going for  the boring ending), on the other, it gives me finger ache, and occasionally activates the rotor if I'm not careful .

I'd definitely like a multy click over longer time option if possible, since the alternatives are either repetitive strain injuries or lots of waiting around and no clicking at all, since clicking the normal way with double taps for buttons is so long winded.

I didn't go for the  obvious ending myself first time since I wanted to explore, but after running into the bad end I thought I'd try it just for the sake of trying before I  for better endings later.

Hope you like the game mirage, you've got a long way to go .

Oh, and I've now submitted evelyn's farm to Applevis and you can Find it's page here.

does it has sounds btw?
