CivIdle News

That's right, CivIdle will participate in the upcoming Steam Next Fest! There will be a demo available to try out! The demo is essentially the latest snapshot of the development version, with all the content available. The only limitation would be the restrictions on the player trade system and leaderboard.

To prepare for this, I am squashing the last bit of bugs and squeezing in every little performance optimization.

QoL: Improve general performance, especially when calculating offline production and using Petra to accelerate

As the game is approaching release, this week is mostly about optimizations. For those of you who don't know, in the game, you can build Petra wonder that will collect warps for your extra offline time. You can use wrap to accelerate your run.

This is how fast the game normally runs:


And previously, the Petra allows you to spend 2 warps to run at 2x speed:


After some hard optimizations, now you can spend 4 warps to run at 4x speed:


And even 8 warps to run at 8x speed, if you've got a beefy computer (you know, with all that RGB lights!)
