is there like a wiki there's so many stuff that it's easy to miss like golden core I have a third grade and idk how good it is maybe I'm missing something
Hey! thanks for the good idea! sorry for the trouble. i just finished the 3d world if you want to check that out :)
good additions btw is there any benefits for taking in disciples even though they're too easy to cultivate making them able to join the sect you made would be cool also idk if there's ways to travel faster between areas since I'm only nascent stage but being higher should reduce the travel time by a bit not a huge issue just a bit annoying lol
yes theres waypoints in each place. ill fix up the personal sect, ill add a bonus travel speed to each stage of cultivation. thanks for playing my game i hope you are enjoying it let me know if you find something i should add or fix!
I'm ngl I didn't expect my suggestion to drop this fast lol I havnt seen anything fix worthy and the only thing I can see to add is maybe a leader board maybe even like a test dummy to test skills on and maybe even a way to fight other people other than that this games fire
and maybe im too lazy cuz ive been using qi gathering talisman and the timer doesnt rlly stack so ive just been returning to the game every 15 mjns to reapply the effect
can't cultivate while in seclusion? i don't gain qi from it, is seclusion only for gaining insight?
yes, it used to be you can get a cultivation boost and a bit of insight upon leaving but ive changed it so you can pick either one
The game is beautifully built so far, but there doesn't really feel like a goal aside from "number go up". It's a nice goal, but some sorta story would go a long way at giving reasons to stick around to see the number go up.
Hey! Thanks for playing my game I hope it’s been fun so far. I will definitely adapt a story into my game. I hope you can stick around and play my game until that comes.
I'll admit I didn't notice there was an entire 3D exploration section. Way more fun than I originally thought.
haha, i hope more people find my game, i think its quite a unique game, im glad your enjoying it.
it not allowing me to create the account
Thanks for sticking with it, and sorry for the trouble! You found a real bug: the sign-up form called your password "Strong", but the account server needs a password with at least one capital letter, one number and one symbol (like ! or #), and the form wasn't checking for that. It's fixed now. There's a checklist under the password box that ticks off as you type.
It looks like an account was created with your email on one of your earlier tries, so you may not need to sign up again. Try Sign in first. If the password doesn't work, use Forgot your password? and you'll get a link to set a new one.
And if you'd rather skip accounts entirely, the itch version saves right in your browser with no sign-up needed.
Thanks again for reporting it. It means other players won't hit the same wall.
I can't able to create the game account
Thanks for trying it, and for letting me know! There's a problem with the confirmation emails for new accounts on the website, so sign-ups aren't going through right now. I'm fixing it.
In the meantime, you don't need an account to play here on itch. Just press "Play on this device" and your progress saves in your browser. Accounts are only for cloud saves that follow you between devices.
If you saw an error message when you tried to sign up, could you tell me what it said? It'll help me make sure it's properly fixed.
