Idle Life - An Idle Game News

[p]💾 Shards, Secrets... and Something Else.
What was once buried… now glows. Whispers echo through the mines. Not all who craft, return the same.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]🎉 New Content [/h2][p]   🔷 Strange Shards: They hum. They shine. They shouldn’t exist.
  Yet here they are – shimmering upgrade components waiting to be crafted.
  But… no known recipe has been confirmed. Not officially. Not safely.[/p][p]   🧠 Theories emerge daily. Some claim the shards hold memory. Others say they evolve.
  All we know is: they weren’t in the last update.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][h2]🛠️ Updated Systems [/h2][h3]⚙️ Discovery Mode Activated[/h3][p]   🧪 New Setting: Enable "Unlock Recipes by Discovery" in new games.
  Your knowledge begins empty – just like your courage.[/p][p]   🔍 How it works:
  – Ingredients only appear if you've held them.
  – Results remain hidden… until it’s too late.
  – Once discovered, you never forget. Unless you should.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][h3]🚀 Echoes of Optimization[/h3][p]   🌀 Performance Improvements:
  - Code rewritten in sleepless frenzy.
  - GPU usage down. CPU usage whispering.
  - It runs smoother, but something stirs deeper now.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][h3]👥 Collapsible Worker List[/h3][p]   📂 New Feature: The active worker list (on the left) is now collapsible.
  And it’s collapsed by default.
  Click to reveal your loyal workforce – or leave them in the shadows.
  They won’t mind. Probably.[/p][p][/p][p]

[p]After months of chaos, shards, and questionable game design decisions, IdleLife – An Idle Game is finally launching into the wild on July 14, 2025.
And guess what? We’re not just releasing the game. We’re throwing everything at you at once.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]🏢 Say hello to Blackline Development[/h2][p]Yup, we made it official. Blackline Development is now a real studio.
Solo? Yes. Sleep-deprived? Also yes.
But full of weird ideas and dangerous mechanics? Absolutely.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]💸 Launch Discount: -40% (yes, really)[/h2][p]For the first 7 days after release, you’ll get 40% off – that’s €2.39 instead of €3.99.
No hidden catches. No in-game shop. No shady gacha.
Just a game. For cheap. Wild, right?[/p][p]
[/p][h2]🎁 5 Steam Keys up for grabs![/h2][p]Wanna get the game for even cheaper? Like... free?
We’re giving away 5 Steam keys to random folks in our Discord.
Winners get their keys right at launch, so you’ll be first in line to grind those sweet pointless resources.[/p][p]👉 Join here to enter the giveaway and maybe scream about shards[/p][p]
[/p][h2]📆 Weekly Updates. Beta Branch Mayhem.[/h2][p]After launch, expect a big juicy update every week.
New mechanics. More content. Probably more bugs.
If you like chaos, hop onto the Beta Branch – where we drop daily mini-updates and random experimental nonsense.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]⏳ Price Will Rise After Early Access[/h2][p]Someday – in a future far, far away – we’ll leave Early Access.
When that happens, the price goes up to €4.99.
Until then, you’re getting the game for less and helping shape it into something beautiful (or at least less broken).[/p][p]
[/p][h2]💬 Join the Cult– uh, Community[/h2][p]Every feature, every rework, every ridiculous idea we throw in – it all starts in Discord.
Your feedback shapes the game (and fuels our questionable decisions).[/p][p]👉 Click here and become part of the experiment[/p]

[p]🔥 We heard the screams.
You cried. We listened. Bugs begged for mercy – so we turned up the heat and dropped this hotfix like a flaming pickaxe. 🔥💥
Now things actually work. Mostly.[/p][p] 
[/p][h2]🛠️ Fixes & Improvements[/h2][h3]📛 Proper Game Identity[/h3][p]   🪪 Task Manager Name: The game finally shows up as IdleLife – An Idle Game, not “UnrealGame”. Because it’s 2025 and branding matters.[/p][p]   🖼️ Custom Icon: Bye-bye Unreal Engine logo. Hello, shiny new taskbar icon![/p][p][/p][h3]💬 Discord Presence[/h3][p]   🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Discord Integration: Your friends now see exactly what you’re doing in-game. Creepy? Maybe. Useful? Definitely.[/p][p]   🧠 Screen-Based Status: Each screen (crafting, mining, menus) updates your Discord status dynamically.[/p][p][/p][h3]👷 Worker Spawn Fix[/h3][p]   🛠️ Fixed: New saves had lazy workers doing absolutely nothing.

[p]💾 More saves, more chaos!
Tired of that one boring path? You’re not alone. It’s 2025 – why are we still stuck with a single save slot? This update fixes that. Start fresh, go wild, and try every dumb idea you’ve ever had – all without losing your main run.[/p][p]
