Military Incremental Complex News

[p]Here's a small update, mainly to help with performance.

Changes:[/p]

• [p]Vsync is now enabled by default (I totally thought it was already 🙃). This will help prevent excessive GPU usage. There is a setting to turn it off now too though.[/p]
• [p]Added options to decrease or fully remove the production visual (flying weapons). This should help performance even more if needed.[/p]
• [p]Added an option to make the production visual "mixed" instead of each weapon being on its own line. No performance gains here, you can just pick which one you like more[/p]

[p][/p]

[p]This update adds a lot! New systems, reworked systems, way better performance, and even a new weapon to produce.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]New Features:[/h2]

• [p]🌟 Prestige! Restart your progress, but with new, very powerful prestige upgrades. We have a lot more coming, but these will change how you play the game.[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]😱 Fear! A new system to engage with, that will increase the sell prices of all weapons as you boost fear higher.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
• [p]🪙 Golden Weapons! An idle game staple. Each weapon produced has a small chance to be golden. When clicked, it’ll boost the sell price for that weapon. This can be stacked with the boost from the Fear system[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]🧪 Research Rework! Research now gives you the choice of 2 options to pick from. This will make research more interesting, and allow for prioritizing different builds.[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]🚙 Jeeps! The next weapon to make.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
• [p]⚒️ All Materials Production Unlocked! Automate your entire supply chain.[/p]
• [p]🎛️ Performance Improvements! Lots of improvements here, the game should run a lot better.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Also, we’re running 2 contests for this demo update in our discord![/p]

1. [p]A randomly drawn sweepstakes where the winner gets to name an upgrade in the game. Post a screenshot of your end-screen from the demo to enter[/p]
2. [p]A speed-run contest, where whoever posts the fastest time to beat the demo gets an achievement named after them. Instructions and rules can be found here on the submission form.[/p]

[p]Quick update just to say thanks to everyone for making Next Fest incredible!! We're super grateful for everyone who played the demo, wishlisted the game, gave feedback, reported bugs, helped us playtest, told your friends about it, joined the discord, or just generally talked about the game :)[/p][p][/p][p]Next Fest was one of our best weeks yet for the demo. We had: [/p]

• [p]7,200 people play the demo[/p]
• [p]1,600 players beat the demo[/p]
• [p]4,000 people wishlist the game[/p]
• [p]400 people join the discord[/p]

[p]Those are crazy numbers, thanks for helping make that happen.[/p][p][/p][p]In case you didn’t see it in the demo, we’re running a name-an-upgrade-after-you Sweepstakes. To enter, beat the demo (there’s an “end of demo” research you’ll eventually discover), take a screenshot of the ending screen, and submit it to the “Sweepstakes” channel in our discord. We’re going to do the drawing this Friday, to give everyone a little more time to beat the demo if you haven’t already. And! We’ve decided to pick 3 winners, instead of just 1, since we’ve had so many people submit screenshots already![/p][p]Here’s a link to the discord if you aren’t in there already:[/p][p]https://discord.gg/unp9BR69cA[/p][p][/p]

Oh, Dope Wars '98, let me count the ways you moulded me into the man I am today, buying extra large trench coats in which to store my 100 units of acid. Military Incremental Complex riffs off that game's unmistakably '98 interface, but instead of playing a cool and aspirational heroin entrepreneur, you play a dastardly bullet merchant. Begin crafting artisan handmade farm-fresh shotgun shells, work your way up to nukes. Typical woke renewable energy propaganda. Can't even sell massive bundles of dynamite with 'TNT' written on them anymore in case it offends the coyotes.

You'll "produce multiple different weapons, research upgrades, manipulate the stock market, and lobby the government for favours". It's from Space Kraken, makers of Squeebing Up The Tower Of Friendship, a game I have not played but enjoy saying the name of aloud. Squeebing. Squeeeebing. "6 hours in the demo and another hour in the released game, I still have no idea what squeebing is," reads one review. UrbanDictionary defines 'squeebing' as … actually, I'm not repeating what UrbanDictionary defines squeebing as. Here's a trailer with wholesome god-fearing guns in it instead.
