I tried to at least get a gameplay loop (upgrade potions and scale speed) but would have liked to get in a few more mechanics ie assistants to automate potion brewing, potions requiring rare ingredients with amazing effects, increase the stability of potions so they blow up less.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":713423,"author_name":"Owl_Skip","author_uid":"owl-skip","epoch":1633351440,"text":"Woah this is an awesome idea that could totally be developed into a full game, love what I'm seeing so far, aesthetic is great.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":713838,"author_name":"TomBuston","author_uid":"tombuston","epoch":1633356155,"text":"Nice entry. I think you got the gist of the early game of an incremental\/idle game but as you said yourself, it needs more mechanics to have a more balanced playing time.\nYour idea is good and this is a nice proof of concept that can be developped further.\nWell done!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":715506,"author_name":"Rory Kaufmann","author_uid":"rory-kaufmann","epoch":1633370608,"text":"I'm glad to see an incremental! Good proof of concept. Only feedback I have is that the actions feel a bit disconnected from the inventory - I didn't immediately see what was happening when I clicked a button. A lot of incrementals put the gather button next to the resource for that reason, or make the inventory really prominent.\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":721679,"author_name":"Meredori","author_uid":"meredori","epoch":1633403407,"text":"@owl-skip @tombuston thank for the lovely comments\n\n@rory-kaufmann I might look at adding a \"+1\" animation to the herbs to draw more attention when it changes once I polish it up more.

I might be a sucker for potion-based games, but the different actions distilled the process to a few choices that I could see being expanded on. If we could hire assistants, those potion-interns would be making glimmering potions all day long. I'll flood the village in glimmer while I sleep on my piles of gold coins.
