You only get one stone by Vladp995
The game was written in c++ using the SDL library under 72 hours.
Sorry to all the linux / mac users, I still didn't compiled it on your systems, I will try to get a vm asap, or If someone could do it for me I would be grateful.
About the game creation:
Ok, so I can finally say that I'm done.. though I only finished to the point of a playable game, no real balance, good graphics or sound were added to the game.
At first I was going to submit my game to compo, but the game was just floating in the air and I could not just publish it like that, so I had to take that extra day.
By the end of the jam I added some reasonable graphics and balance to make up the game and was ready to submit it, the game is still not where I wanted it to initially be so I'm going to continue working on it at least until I can call it a complete game.
About the game:
So the game is an idle game.
The game saves automatically upon exit.
You start with only one stone, and you build mines and research new upgrades, to help you discover and mine new ores.
Left click - Select a Tile
Click the green up arrow - upgrade the mine/research
??? means you need to unlock it via research
BOTTOM LEFT - go to the research page
Mostly the game is self explanatory except the research button in the lower left side of the screen.
Feel free to suggest ideas and balance changes, they are all gladly welcome.
New version 1.1:
-many bug fixes and small rebalance
-saves ore amount in long long now instead of long (no old save support, please delete saveFile manually)
-small hint icons were added to spot mines you can upgrade more easily
ABOUT THE MISSING DLL -
some people get this error, I've added a rar with the fix, you will have to install the redistributable package from microsoft for visual studio, just download the rar, there is a readme

Playing it now as well, fixing and rebalancing stuff on the way (already found some major bugs..).
Let me know if anything else wrong.
Well done!
Was worth the while it took to get working.
Thank you very much.
By the way the remastered version has some new stuff to offer, also I'm working on a newer version with more features like precious gems and mine enchantments ;)
I am satisfied! :D
Great job!
