Quality of life updates
I think the game is nice but some small changes and upgrades could make the game much better.
Hunt: Predators can sometimes hunt prey 1/1000 chance every second for one predator and prey to start the “Hunt”. If it starts there’s a 3/4 chance the predator gets the prey once that happens the prey stops moving and lays down after 5 seconds mushrooms start decaying it and 20 seconds after they start the body is gone and a new prey spawns. If other prey is near they’ll run too and also be sad at the dead body. There’s a 1/4 chance that the predator will fail if it does it will walk away sad and slow with its head down. The prey will meet up with other prey and look like it’s talking to them.
Important upgrades: When on the research tab, upgrades that are needed for getting to singularly will show up first and even get their own smaller tab. Tabs break down into all, important, and not important/animals(non generators)/glitches.
Fixed looking: When looking at something you can still use the top view letting you look at more things and get a better look at what you’re looking at.
Glowing upgrades: Whenever there a lot of upgrades but you don’t know what to get which ever one is the best for its cost it will start to glow purple or orange depending on if its life or idea.
Locked camera: If you want to look at something or an area then you can lock your camera not letting you click on anything or move the camera if you’re looking at some place. If you’re looking at an animal or something and lock the camera then you’ll be able to move the camera but not click on other things. I don’t mean when you take a pic I mean just the normal camera but this could be done for both.
Time and weather: Ever 15 minutes weather will change most of the time it will be sunny but sometimes it will be cloudy, light rain, medium rain, heavy rain, fog, hot(screen gets more orange), cold(same as hot but blue) snowing, hailing, and storming. All weathers but sunny and cloudy will start only happening for 5 minutes but there’s a small chance it will continue for another 5 minutes and again till the 15 minutes is up. As for time there’d be a 1 hour day night cycle. First 5 minutes will be dark with the moon in the right place. Next 10 the sun will start to rise. The following 15 will be the basic day we see. Then for 15 more minutes the sun will go down. And for the final 15 it will be night. Also the moon will be in its current form or stage. You could buy something to change the time and weather and maybe there’d be a super rare chance for a flood or tornado to happen.
All of these ideas would make the game feel more alive, easier to play, more fun to actively idle, and better to look at.
