i keep getting "another item is in use" when there isnt?? i cant open the book on how to stop hackers now ðŸ˜
Do you mean the message "Can't perform the action while another item is being used"?
It means you started using a tool/option but have not finished that task yet, iirc. Since it could be pretty much any of the task the you started and left in the middle, I can't really help you figure out which one it might be, as there are too many of them.
You could just back track to verify in case you left anything incomplete. In the worst case scenario, I guess you'll have to restart the game.
Said yes to PIA when she asked if i hated her, had well over an hour of progress deleted, such a fun game mechanic i really liked i
Well, pissing PIA off is probably not the wisest decision.
Thanks for your feedback! Really appreciate it.
I am even considering of creating a new version of this game in the future, thanks to feedbacks like this.
dude why can't i save my progresses? everytime i try to open the game it deletes everything :/ you said u were planning to add the save button last year but there isn't still
I haven't gotten around to it. As stated in another comment, I am caught up in some other project, and hence the future of this one is uncertain. Also, I need a JS programmer to help me out with this one.
Hello, what's the best way to contact you? Do you have discord? (If so add me: Pajsen#9263)
Request sent.
nice game, beat it
Thanks, glad you liked it!
**Ahh!!! Spoilers!!!**
Thanks a lot! I just noticed that I have not updated it to include itch.io.
ok hmmm
i used 0.05 bitcoin
and the bug injections got me 0.04 bitcoin
dont buy the special upgrade, don't do it.
I don't understand what you mean by "Bug Injection"?
Lol, I didn't remember that's what it was called.
Buuhhhhhhhhhhh
Darn
I used up all my cash on the special upgrade
seriously what the heck does it even do
aaaaaaaaa
It a reference to something that you might understand if you are aware of some of the recent practices in the gaming industry.
clear screen also stops everything and makes you lose all your progress
Could you tell the steps to reproduce this error? This should not happen.
bruh dangggg i reloaded and lost all my progress
you really should add save
I am aware. However I am currently busy with other projects. I might visit this project again in the future and implement save then.
I left it on overnight...
Ffs I'm done
Yes, idling on an insecure system is risky.
Honestly, the game is short enough that you don't need to idle at all, if you invest wisely.
Hope you enjoyed it though.
I was playing the game and PIA said "you hate me dont you?!" "just say 'yes' "
I said yes and it deleted all my save data.
Nice game.
I am not sure exactly which PIA's dialogue you are referring to, but yes, that's how it should be. You replied with "yes", thus stating that you hate PIA. So, PIA, in a fit of anger, deletes everything, and you lose the game.
Maybe you should try again and answer differently this time.
Oh, and just a heads up. Your game progress is not saved, so once you close your browser, you lose all progress. It was an planned feature, but I have abandoned/stalled the project. I don't know if I will ever pick it up again.
Thanks!
I enjoyed playing the game. I thought the mechanics were fun and the upgrades motivating and satisfying. However no ability to save is unfortunate for and also the random chances to lose all of your save data is also unfortunate. Sorry for my semi hateful comment.
Yes, I understand. Several updates including save feature were planned, but I ended up getting so involved in my other project that I decided to drop it. Also, this game is made in JS and I don't know really JS, so even if I do resume working on it I'll probably need to find a JS developer first.
If I find enough people playing it, I might make some time and at least implement the save feature.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Absolutely I really liked the writing from PIA something I should have said in my last comment. I really hope this game is revived because it deserves to be seen. It's a gem forgotten and mostly unfound. I wish you the best,Drago
Thanks a lot for those kind words. I really appreciate it.
The game dev was rushed and changed a lot during it's the one/two month game jam. So, there's some inconsistency, and a lot of hidden/lost story lines in the original code too.
My plan was to have PIA be a real AI, and allow users to actually really talk to it/her. But it proved too big for a short game jam, and way over my skills.
Maybe I'll continue it, or remake it in Unity someday, but after my current project.
Once again, I am really glad you liked it. Thanks a lot!
Yes, that's a nice idea. I have looked into that before, and I am aware that it's easily editable. However I am not very concerned about that since cheaters can always find a way to cheat. They can even inject some JS snippets if they want to cheat.
Anyway, the concern is that the data is not centralized in any singular location, and rewriting the code will be quite time consuming. I am currently focusing on my other project so don't have much time to complete it atm. I might come back after I finish the other project (which is going to take a lot of time). There are a lot of ideas too that never got implemented, so I'd like to implement them as well when I return to work on BTC King.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I really appreciate it. Also, if you wish to give it a shot (I too am not a JS developer, but did come this far), I say you should go ahead and do that.
I thought it would be funny to say I hated PIA. She didn't need to take it so seriously and delete hours of progress. What a gogo gaga baby.
I developed the game a long time ago so don't remember everything. To be honest, I can't even remember what allows us to reach that path in the game.
But PIA was suppose to be like a little rogue and immature AI. So, just like a kid, it can not handle the fact that you hate "her".
Hope you liked the game. Rating it would really help it reach other people.
Released v0.9.1
Changes: Fixed a bug, thanks to some awesome people on Discord :)
