The Promethium Effect

Dev Diary #1
Greeting Competitors!

It has been an exciting two weeks supporting the rollout of The Promethium Effect! We're thrilled to see players invested with hundreds of hours in the game, as well as great contributions in the forums.

The Promethium Effect is only going to get bigger, and better as time rolls on, and you can bet we will be incorporating many of the requests we've seen in the forums.

Here's what's coming up soon (in order of planned releases):

1. An in-game tutorial for new players to get them acquainted with the way the game works.

2. The ability to look at your attack history and the riches stolen from others.

3. Leaderboards.

4. Steam Achievements

5. Full controller support. Currently, a controller can be used to steer the ship in the asteroid field, but interacting with the interface otherwise relies on the use of a mouse.

Thanks again for being awesome and supporting the little guys who just love making games. There's more to come!

Cheers!

Update: Defense Wall and Defense Ship Upgrades Persist Through Prestige
Start building up your shield wall and defense fleet! Because now your upgrade progress will persist through every prestige level! No more starting from level 0!

In this update we also fixed a bug causing the shield wall to reset to 0 every time the game reloads. Yay!

Make sure to download the update to enjoy the new feature!

Cheers!

6x Diamonds in the Diamond Shop and Bug Fixes Update
Greetings Competitors!

The newest update includes some minor bug fixes with certain price displays, as well as patches a bug that made prestige-ing way too easy for some players.

In the diamond shop, you'll find that your purchase power has been multiplied by 6, and each purchase gets you 6 TIMES more diamonds.

Thanks for playing The Promethium Effect and contributing in the forums. We read every post and do our best to incorporate your ideas, as well as address bugs you find in the game, in a timely fashion.

Be sure to download the update!

Cheers!

The latest update covers some minor bugs with auto clickers appearing where they should not, and by request we also added scroll arrows to the galaxy, competitor, bounty, and attack lists, as well as to the upgrade and purchase screens.

Cheers!

Limited Time Christmas Tree Skin And Bug Fixes Update
Who says the holidays are just for earth-bound humans?

Through December, we are offering a limited combination Christmas Tree skin for your ship and 100 Diamonds for 99 cents! Did we mention it shoots some hefty Christmas lights?

Once purchased, the ship can be equipped in a new "Purchases" room that can be accessed through the Upgrades screen.

We've also fixed a few bugs and added some features that were requested in the forum.

Stay tuned! There's more to come!

Be sure to download the update to enjoy the latest features.

Cheers!

Diamond Rewards In Asteroid Field
You spoke, we listened!

Diamonds are the premium currency in the game, and it was excessively difficult to acquire them in the asteroid field. But now, we have incorporated a diamond reward into your level progression. For every two NEW levels you reach, you will be awarded a diamond!

We've also reconfigured the random galaxy stats so that the chance of finding random diamonds in the field is even higher (depending on the galaxy you are in).

Make sure you download the latest update to enjoy the new feature.

Thanks for playing and helping us to make the game even better!

Cheers!

Diamonds for Everyone & Upgrade Prices Reduced!
Because of the feedback we have received, and our goal of making the game as fun, fair, and accessible as possible, we have dropped the cost of upgrades which require diamonds to purchase by a LOT.

Also, once you update your game, you'll receive a 100 Diamond boost to catch you up with what new players will receive after purchasing the game.

Our reward system is now in place, so if you come across bugs or have an idea that we end up implementing, you'll get a diamond reward. Whoohoo!

Thanks for purchasing The Promethium Effect and helping us to make it better!

Cheers!

Welcome to Day 1
Greetings Competitors, Pirates, and Bounty Hunters!

We hope you have enjoyed your first day in the cutthroat world of The Promethium Effect.

There's much more to come, and we're always looking for feedback on how we can make the game more fun and accessible.

We're working to implement a reward system for players who find bugs or have awesome suggestions that we incorporate into the game, so if you find or think of something, hit us up, and we'll make sure you get some in-game diamonds thrown your way when the system is in place.

Cheers!
