I&#39;ve spent the past two months or so building out and perfecting a small web-based incremental game, inspired by the old mobile game Crafting Kingdom, but more accessible and modern. It&#39;s under a hundred KB of JavaScript, but includes a fully complete game including 7 buildings and almost 100 quests. Please feel free to give any feedback, it took me a lot of balancing and tweaking to get it to this point and it&#39;s very possible and even quite likely there&#39;s still weird/broken stuff. To play, go to https://trypsynth.github.io/crafter

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space OK, so we don't have to play ads and stuff, right? It's just you play when you have time...I hope I can save this game and so far it looks interesting. I am just going after logs.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Good fun so far. I don't understand, though, how the % bonuses work. "Slot Costs -335%" - I would expect this to mean they cost -2.35x what they normally cost, meaning I get paid? Of course that's not how it works, but I have no idea how it *does* work.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space You hooked a bunch of a server with this tonight. On to run 3. I wonder if there is a way to get rid of the lag that is most experienced when the market section is expanded. It lags quite a bit after 15-20 items are being tracked. Otherwise this is marvelous so far.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Is it intended that if you spam the produce log button it actually produces faster? You can't stack, but production time then seems to be at least 2x.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space This is fun. If there is supposed to be sounds, then they don’t play on Mac OS in safari at least. Either way though, cool.

@Kaliah@dragonscave.space @TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Wait...did you just push an update to #Crafter that changed the price of storage or did it go buggy on me when I closed and reopened it?
