Promising little idle/clicker/incremental game. It's a bit rough around the edges but there is a lot of potential here. I had a small bug and posted on their Discord about it and they had it fixed the next day. Pretty cool and friendly devs and community. I'm looking forward to more content being added to the game.

Idle Tycoon Manufacturing is one of the many lazy 2D number incrementer "games" on Steam, where the entire object is clicking to increase a number, sometimes buying upgrades that make the number go up faster. It's not really a game, it's a Skinner box for people who enjoy watching counters tick up. This one is a little different because some attempt was made to add some game like interaction to the clicker... namely you build a factory and workers to help with the clicking. That's the idea, anyway, the tutorial was bugged and I got softlocked and couldn't progress after the tutorial failed to register I'd completed one of the tasks. The reason why "solo developers" should [i]never[/i] publish junk on Steam is because they don't bother hiring software testers. How does that make us feel as gamers when developers think so poorly of us they don't even bother getting their games properly tested? Oh yeah, and the developer wants YOUR money for untested games. Disgusting, isn't it? Well, at least this isn't an asset flip, but it is still garbage with a price tag. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard…

Took a little bit of time to understand how the game works, and felt slightly slow at first, but once you get an understanding of core elements and your machine automation set up, it's very fun! For the low price point, I would 100% recommend this to any lovers of idle/automation games. I'd also like to mention that, although the game may have bugs, the developer has been incredible and extremely responsive when it comes to fixes and there's a patch for every issue I've raised. Just for the sheer respect of a dev like that, it's 100% worth getting!

Eragone Games is becoming one of my favorite indie dev publishers. Eragone cares deeply for the games they make and promptly assist with any bugs you may encounter. They're very open to implementing good ideas to improve the game. It's such a breath of fresh air to me to see some actually care about the games they push out. I know Eragone isn't the only Dev out there making wonderful thoughtful games but the transparency shown with Eragone Games is brilliant. I recommend this game, I recommend anything this Dev is actively working on. It feels great to see the game expand and smooth out in near real time. Editing to add: I just finished the current content (missing some achievements yet). I got very hooked on the manufacturing in this game. It's that dangerous blend of simplistic to make work but with little details that can min/max the output. Getting your employees to work in areas that are close to recovery objects while not blocking access. How many inputs to each processing device. which boosts can be applied in which order. ingots per second vs value per second also becomes a question in the later game. Any and all issues that I encountered were fixed within 24 hours of rep…

Small little automation factory game. It's in "early" early access with issues that comes with it, but the dev is active both in communication and development. If you are into heavy automation and scaling up, current state of the game is not very kind for such ideas with performance being impacted per bar. In-game tool for reducing the amount of visible bars helps, but you can still run into heavy performance issues in current endgame, based on how you build the factory. For 5 euro it is worth a try and investment in the dev, if you are a person that is willing to help solo dev improve their product. Edit. As of update 17, performance was greatly improved, there are few hiccups here and there when running 100% with full factory, but at reasonable settings it looks and plays very smoothly now!
