Totally get in touch on twitter, I love keeping in contact with fellow gamedevs.  And next ld I want a solid partner to do the jam with! solo is fun, but draining lol.  twitter: @teddynashor\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also as for the lvl 7, it should cost 55000, not sure why it says 20... I think the client and server have slightly different formulas?  I believe I can fix minor bugs, as I think that is allowed in the rules?  Ill check, otherwise, wait till 50k to press it. :P"},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:10am","epoch":1408946700,"text":"think the math might be glitchy.  level 6 was 110k.  either way,  hive mind ftw.  i was thinking of a network game in the coming months as well, so it'll be fun to see how this one turns out."},{"author_name":"vinhuman","author_uid":"40943","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:11am","epoch":1408946760,"text":"A very cool concept.

Here are some feedbacks.\r<br\/>What i liked :\r<br\/>- Big work achieved ! Very impressive.\r<br\/>- The idea of making a novel together.\r<br\/>- Everything is clear because explained when unfinished (no 'I don't know what it is')\r<br\/>What imo could be improved :\r<br\/>- Music (but I recognize the effort, it can be really hard to even have one xD)\r<br\/>- Remove unfinished work to achieve a more polished effect\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great overall, had fun reading (and writing :p) the novel so far !"},{"author_name":"bakwards","author_uid":"39669","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 12:15pm","epoch":1408968600,"text":"Looking forward to when you publish our novel!

I purchased one word... but it was quite time consuming although had 14 mines running.  Quite cow-clicker in nature. The celloish music began to grate after a while, though it had a lovely tone.

The game is my feeble 48 hour attempt at trying to make a social experiment game that feeds off of a skinners box so that people dont get incredibly board while participating in it.  \r\n\r\nThe goal is to harvest materials, so that you can purchase words to type into the Global Story that is written by all the previous\/current players.  I imagine the story will turn into something terribly written, but thats the fun social aspect. Build Mines, Earn Resources, Recieve medals & Achievments, Write a Story With The World (or like the 10 people who will prob get far enough to write a word), Win!\r\n\r\nI am currently working on a game called Trials Of Ascension.  It is an Indy Sandbox MMO (I know right?, those buzzwords...)  BUT its true, and hopefully I can turn it into something great :D! hopefully you will check that out too! :D!\r\n\r\ndo make sure you press enter as it says to remove that \"help image\" as you get into the game. (the gui still looks terrible, but if you dont close that it sucks more lol)","title":"The Final Novel"}
