i’m trying to get the new beta out as soon as i can for whatever silly self-inflicted reason… last year’s new building beta dropped on christmas too. at the same time i’ll be staying over at my grandpa’s place for a few days after christmas, the same house in which i made the first version of Cookie Clicker all those years ago. wouldn’t be too unfitting if i finished the final building update there
i’ve mentioned it before but at some point after i’ve taken care of some more pressing content updates i’d really like to take some time to completely overhaul building displays, notably adding some actual gameplay relevance to them and redoing some old assets that i feel were kind of phoned in and have never been fully satisfied with. i mean look at these. come on
jokes aside an annoyance with my pixel art is consciously or not i tend to draw it with 2x upscaling in mind, which is how the little upgrade/achievement icons are done; anything that gets displayed at 1:1 screen resolution often suffers from me adding little details that don’t read very well at that scale
speaking of which since this may be the last time i touch the buildings spritesheet for a while i figured i’d give the wizard tower a 2nd makeover. little bit happier with it this time!

anything new for cookie clicker mobile coming soon? kinda plateaus around the septillion mark at the moment
i am Trying but my time management skills are profoundly subpar and i gotta implement the final building in the desktop version before the year ends or i will look like a ninny; i’ll post progress on the mobile update while desktop goes through beta. on the bright side this means when i do release the new mobile version it’ll have the complete set of buildings
every update i subject the translators to more and more obscure achievement names
writing some abominable flavor text. just the worst
Opti has been playing space games while we watch better call saul so we’ve been discussing a space minigame for cookie clicker despite me promising the dungeons minigame would be next sorry sorry sorry
idk what i’m sorrying about it’s not like i’m gonna go further than design docs on this just yet haha it’s not like i’m gonna start coding a little space prototype under the pretense of “getting myself back into programming mood” haha. i wouldn’t do that

hi orteil, i'm a fan and i just wanted to say, i have no idea how you made the cookie clicker ui just so cozy. i literally open the page and it feels inviting. i'm at home. i come back to the game every few years or so and it's always like that, what the heck did you put in it dude
