Getting items should be around 2x times easier now for all crates. It's still random and it might take some tries, but if you don't get them now, it's just really bad luck. The legendary chest should be now at the level of the previous epic chest.
Enjoy and have fun! :)
Update 4.10
Drugs and Crime Idle Update 4.10
-Fixed a big issue with gambling not being random enough.
Long version: The thing is, software can never be true random, it will always pick the same numbers, even if you set it to be random. I knew that, so the game had two sets of randomizers when gambling, but that was not enough.
The software picks a random "seed", which then determines the items you get based on numbers, those numbers are also picked randomly-ish. Problem was, the seed was randomly determined when you start the game, not while gambling. Now it picks a random seed every 15 seconds. I know, why was this not in the game before? I didn't think of it before, alright. I thought two sets of randomizers would be enough.
This is why you might have gained rare items in quick succession before, or, none at all. Which sucks both ways. Well, now that's fixed. I tested it for a bit and got both rare items from the common crate in 3-4 min. If you don't get them now, you have bad luck. Overall it should be way easier.
Have fun and sorry for this inconvenience!
Update 4.09
Drugs and Crime Idle Update 4.09
Brings the option to turn on auto chest opening.
If you turn it on, it will open chests by itself until you turn it off or run out of credits.
A much requested QOL feature.
If you encounter any bugs, please let me know in the comments. Thank you for your patience and have fun playing!
Operation Food to Gold - Early Access Launch
Operation Food to Gold, my second idle game after Drugs and Crime Idle is now live, free and available in Early Access.
This time I went for a more family friendly vibe with cooking food for an alien and feeding it, instead of being a criminal overlord.
You should be experienced in cooking. This time only, you will be cooking hamburgers and chicken tenders instead of crystal meth.
The game will be an Early Access version, but all the core mechanics of, what I hope is a fun idle game, are all in there.
Please comment in the Steam-Community with any feedback. What do you like? What do you hate? I read everything and reply to everyone.
All Drugs and Crime owners and DLC owners can claim in-game goodies.
I wanted to show a "thank you" gesture with the in-game goodies. A thank you to all of you.
Here is to a new beginning. I will of course also try to update Drugs and Crime Idle as much as possible as well.
That all said. Have fun and thank you for playing! Roxy Constantine
- Added back auto-saving - Added 3 new buttons to the main page * Manual Save - Creates a new, separate savegame meant as a failsave/backup. Make sure to click this red button every time you close the game and every now and again. * Manual Load - Loads the manual save. * Load Autosave - Loads your regular save game that is created from the autosave.
- Added the Prestige generator. * After you prestige at least 1 time, a new bar will start filling, based on the times you prestiged. So, at prestige 1, it will generate 1 out of 1million. After it fills, you get 1 prestige point. At prestige 2 it will 2 out of 1 million, so twice as fast.
So, now it's worth it to prestige more than once. You also have a steady supply of prestige points which you can spend on upgrades more consistently than before.
Your savegame should not be affected by any of the changes. Sorry to everyone, who has experienced issues with their savegame and have lost their progress.
I was able to implement the prestige generator this fast, because I use the same mechanic in my new idle game. This is also the reason why I am not updating this game more frequently. The new game will be about food, instead of drugs. It's nearing the finish line and I hope for a better launch, than drugs and crime idles.
Thank you all for playing. If you experience any issues/bugs with the new update, then please let me know in the steam discussions tab. Have fun.
To an excellent 2023!
Happy new year, you bunch of criminals and drug dealers!
May 2023 be your year, full of success and all you wish for.
What other dev does that? Probably none, that's why I do it.
Thank you all for your support! Up until now Drugs and Crime Idle has been played by 38,133 Players!
I am happy, to give people some entertainment from the every day struggle we all face. Time you enjoyed is not time wasted.
Happy new year! ~Konstantin Spasoff
Small update 4.07
- Removed auto-saving from the game.
Due to issues with the savefile getting corrupted and players losing their progress, I have removed autosaving from the game.
Now, if you experience a pc or game crash, then you should lose only some progress, not all of it or the entire save game. The game does continue to save, of course, when it closes.
A pc or game crash (or other reason) should not affect the game anymore, hopefully.
I apologize to everyone that has lost their save!
Happy holidays! ːcsgostarː
Version 4.06 - New gang members
Version 4.06
New Gang screen
Thugs reworked to only give crimenet balance instead of crimecoin.
Lawyers reworked to only give account balance instead of crimecoin & crimecoin lite.
Added new hacker, who has a charge like the lawyer and gives both crimecoins. Payout is random from 10 to 160. Can be upgraded with money and prestige, but +5 (10 prestige) per level instead of a multiplier like the lawyer and thugs.
Added the casino boss. Works like a rakeback reward in the casino. After 1000 ap spend, you can claim a random reward. 50-800 with very good chances of getting the best one, compared to the hacker. Can be upgraded for +50 (or +100 with prestige) per level.
Other
Moved the thugs and lawyer, as well as their upgrades to the gang screen. Visual update on the thugs and lawyer upgrades, to distinguish them from the gang members. Renamed ??? guy in the item room to H4K3R, since he is the same hacker in the gang screen. Seems like a name a hacker would choose.
Items Documents now doubles ecstasy production as well as cocaine production.
Energydrink no longer doubles ecstasy production. Doubles hacker rewards instead for more crime coins.
That's all for now folks. Have fun!
Version 4.05 - Press the X
Version 4.05
Changed the lawyer max progress to 200. A lawyer action still takes 100 points, but now you can store up to 200 points, so they don't go to waste.
Added the ability to stand up and smoke a fat one. Taking a break from all the money making and managing. Has an audio as well, so make sure your game is not muted.
Just for fun, does nothing else. Also comes with 1 new achievement.
Version 4.04 - Faster crate opening
Version 4.04
Very small update. Crate opening is now twice as fast. It feels much better to open crates now. Something that has been requested a lot, for a long time.
