Fun game

I enjoyed the demo, put this on my wish list, bought it on the release day, and have been enjoying it for another 3.5 hours now. At the time of writing (i.e. less than 24 hours after release), there are still a few bugs and rough edges, but there also have been three hotfixes already. That dedication alone is worth something in my opinion. Gameplay-wise, it's a somewhat standard idler/incremental game. The settings feels really well done and clean, like a small Idle version of Anno, with nice graphics and relaxing music. My only larger criticism is that balancing is a bit off at the moment. Resources often become useless, at least for a time being, due to there not being any buyable upgrades with them anymore, so any bonuses you put into them feel kind of wasted. The prestige system right now is weird, because it was never clear to me when a good time to prestige is (the "next prestige at" timer seems broken as well) and many of the upgrades sound not that influential. Some more explanation would be nice, regarding how upgrades stack. Something like a simple "all upgrades combined, you get +X% gold, which is composed of these individual boni: ...", like Animatter Dimensions does it. Still, I enjoyed my time so far and this seems like a single-person project of someone who cares about their game, so I consider it worth supporting.
