the industry revolution and its consequences
yo desk, you're towning?
圍繞著人口、食物、知識三個指標的桌面掛件式掛機遊戲。除了配備時鐘、倒數器等基本功能之外,遊戲模式大抵如下:以人口為購買更多建築、裝飾、擴展地區的貨幣;以食物為維持人口數目的(人口數不可大於食物數);以知識為解鎖項目(地區以及相應的時代背景解鎖的建築)的要求。 每個指標的增加途徑主要是由建築的自動化產出,擺置的方式也非常簡單,建築只能橫向擺放,如果追求加成也不講求美觀的話可以無腦堆當前生成最高數值的建築。而且因為擺放太簡單,其實搞美化的層面來說上下限都很低,也就只有裝飾品是能比較講究擺設精神的。 作為不喜歡在建設上費心力的玩家來說,這本來其實說不上什麼問題,但作為掛機遊戲玩下去的動力著實不大。它並不是走《Cookie Clicker》這樣的數字流,所以並不能在壓倒性龐大的數字上為你提供體驗;而作為桌面掛件又有點讓人嫌佔位子和不美觀了…… 本來我個人比較寄望的是本作的打字兌獎功能,人口是可以透過輸入來增加的,遊戲也有衛星這個“輸入更多主題關鍵字來獲取自動化收益”的存在。但既然人口本身是可以透過自動化來獲得的,輸入獲取人口就變得不那麼重要了,在工作力的boost上並沒有那麼好……

Really cool take on the Idle genre! Feels great to write code and level up simultaneously.
kebetulan aku WFH kemarin butuh stopwatch buat nemenin kerja. keren banget ini game! aku ada saran mungkin widgetnya bisa dipindah2 gitu biar ga harus selalu di bawah hehe. terima kasih!
This game is so good
Game: Desktown Rating: ★★★★☆ [h1]Positives:[/h1] › Has a good balance between fully idle and interactive play. › Guessing secret words was pretty satisfying. › Buildings are cute and match the themes well. › Takes about 100 hours to complete all achievements. [h1]Negatives:[/h1] › There is no list for unlocked secret words and its infuriating having to guess words again the next day and hope you come up with a new one. › The lists of words are extremely hard to complete and honestly just thinking of easy words that match the theme doesn't help. › The price per theme/zone seemed weirdly off why buy the expensive zone other than to unlock it when the first zone will always be cheaper. › As some of the other reviews noted I did get locked in the tutorial and could not progress (rage quit and left it for a couple weeks I have no idea how I fixed it) › I joined the discord and asked a couple questions and never got a reply. [h1]Community Items/Socials:[/h1] › Artworks on the achievements is nice and matches the games art style. [b]Do I recommend this game?[/b] [b] Ahhh Yeah [/b] I quite liked how the game played after I got it working and played it pretty solidly and put in quite a bit of time guessing the secret words and I didn't finish a single list of words, so I'm glad there was no achievement for completing a list. It's not a game I'd go back to play again or leave running in the background. It could 100% use some updates to get more people interested as the concept is really good, but looking at the socials I don't think this game will be getting any improvements.
Game is completely broken after trying to move it between monitors and locking up. It appears in task manager and on the taskbar, but there's no sound and the game window is missing. Restarted Steam and tried reinstalling the game multiple times and it didn't fix whatever this bug is. The game looked cute, but it's a shame that there's a bug making the game completely inaccessible. If fixed, I'll update my review.
Konsepnya oke, bahkan rasanya ini salah satu gim yang ada alat produktivitasnya (pewaktu maju/mundur, alarm, bahkan Pomodoro). Cuma agak makan sumber daya komputer (15-20% CPU min 70 C, 15% GPU menurut overlay Steam) dalam keadaan tidak menjalankan apa-apa. Dev cukup tanggap di Discord. Kalau nggak masalah dengan ini, bisa jadi teman pendamping selagi kerja.
Thhe game is super fun and it's really nice to have it while doing homework since it gives me resources when I'm typing. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that one of the acheivement seems bugged. I have found 500 words but I still don't have the acheivement. Other than that it's a really fun idle game.
