Hey!

Just wanted to point out --- it is the final day to grab the JAMs DLC during the 40% off introductory sale!

Also Steam Cloud saving works on the clicker button now! Every 500 clicks it saves.

Here are the ones I put in the DLC pool (removing the Hearts set):











They drop limitless during the period when dropping, and I'm not sure how long a "DLC Set" season should last, or how many sets in a given season, so I'll leave these in there for a little while, let me know your thoughts on how that should go! I definitely like the exclusives for DLC but I can't draw 2 of them every day, I like the free users getting the daily creation. Maybe for each sale and in-between sales I'll swap out the DLC set, since Steam has sales quite often.

Anyways thanks for your purchases on the DLC and of course farming the items as we rotate them daily, you may have noticed that the item descriptions on almost everything became butchered when I enabled localization for every language on offer to me, but that should sort itself out on it's own I believe. Seems to take a couple days for things to become straightened out, but the items are no longer "Unique" either! We are making progress!

Hey we got cloud saving up in this build!!

It's a 64-bit integer too, so it should be good up until 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

There is now at least some purpose to clicking! I think I might make an achievement for clicking to a really high number, maybe not too high! For now no new achievement, but at least you can click and it does something! I also might make an item that drops every X number of clicks, that seems easy enough to do. A leaderboard would be cool too, but one thing at a time.

I have it set to save every 500 clicks, so if your progress saves in that increment that's normal! I'll fine tune this later but it's working great for me over here. Let me know if there are any issues from this, it should work though, give it a shot!

Hey quick update:

I added localization for all languages (hooray!) in the inventory section, so now our items won't say "Unique" in front of them anymore, but this may have caused... The names of existing ones to change, and since they already exist we have to just move forward with it. So in the markets, there are probably going to be some duplicated listings as the names of things are what determines how the listing pages work, but if it comes down to it I'll make a box where you can just swap a "Unique" one for a "V2" of the same item (or just hang onto the Unique ones as unintentional collectors items ːbgt_laughterː). But seriously though I wish I had realized this would have happened, I would have swapped the whole set at once, but I like my 1-item-a-day thing so.. yea I think it could be just as easy to make a button that just fixes the whole inventory at once, really, so don't panic if you have concerns over the potentially confusing inventory, I'll figure out a solution for it!

And the item of the day is Steamy, so ironically we have Steamy issues on Steamy day, and there are potentially a couple different versions of it out there. I think we have smoothened out the issue though pretty quick! Apparently the tags on an item generator go into the items within, and also go into the description.

Alright everyone I know the game needs work --- its early days but it is still.. Days.

We now have 5 items in the common (free) drop pool, the first being the Launch one, so on day 6 I will be removing it from the pool. Drops work automatically now, and its free to play! Also I have added some heart items into an additional 5 item pool for holders of the DLC, dropping until the end of Cooking Sale and so it looks like this will be the system going forward. I will change that DLC pool out seasonally, and rotate the commons daily. This way bot farmers cant hoard the DLC stuff ever, and the commons they would need to farm every day to keep up.

So yep download JAMs today and grab a few of the launch ones at least, if you were gonna grab any!!
