Hey friends! Happy 4th of July to my American players, and happy Thursday to everyone else! I hope everyone is having a great week.
As decided on my discord, I have decided to begin development on a new version of Idle Research. There's a lot of things that need to be remade from scratch, specifically project infrastructure and basic game features (Research, Crafting, etc.). I personally feel like the game needs a more thoughtful approach to what I wanted Idle Research to be.
I would really love if people filled out this Google Form survey, so I have a good idea on my player base's wants and needs for the best idle/incremental game experience. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/jUQ2jT9vWhH9XBhWA
I'll provide more details on what will happen to the current Idle Research, but to keep it short:
Game will be playable and live, not replaced by Idle Research 2.
Cylinders will not be a thing, but I may provide a UI playground area to paint a picture on what I had already worked on.
Bugs will be maintained.
Features may be slightly tweaked.
Performance improvements.
Purchases of any kind will be transferrable to the new game in some way.
...essentially, I will work on fixes when I have extra time.
This game is still in early access, so I have no idea what I want to do in terms of moving it to full release. If anyone has any advice/ideas, I'm all ears.
Anyways, that's all I have. Again here is the optional survey: https://forms.gle/jUQ2jT9vWhH9XBhWA
Questions? Let me know :)
Thanks everyone for the positivity this week, it's making me miss game development.

Idle Research is an addictive, resource management, Idle and Clicker game with up to 27 items to Research and Craft with lots of content!
Get as many colorful Flasks, Test Tubes, and Cylinders as possible to generate more energy than every Sun in the Universe! You are, extremely powerful (literally)...
Additionally, you can buy over dozens of Accelerators to accelerate your progress and earn more items and energy!
This game has a three layer prestige system with unique content in each layer.
In the second prestige layer, you will encounter new content such as Fighting and Skilling, where you can take your Test Tubes to the area and fight those pesky Anti-Flasks!
Big numbers and satisfaction is guaranteed!
Attempt to provide some humor every now and then.
