Progress Knight

Introduction

Progress Knight is a text-based incremental game, developed by Ihtasham42, which can be played on your browser.

What is Progress Knight about?

Progress Knight is a life-sim incremental based in a fantasy/medieval setting, where you must progress through the career ladder and acquire new skills to become the ultimate being.

You first start off as a beggar, barely being able to feed yourself as the days go by. However, over the years you learn new skills and gain plenty of work experience to enter new high paying jobs while managing your living expenses...

Will you decide to take the easy route of doing simple commoner work? Or will you go through harsh training to climb the ranks within the military? Or maybe will you decide to study hard and enrol in a magic academy, learning life-impacting spells? Your career path is open-ended, the decision is up to you.

Eventually, your age will catch up to you. You will be given an option to prestige and gain xp multipliers (based on the performance of your current life) for your next life at the cost of losing all your levels and assets. Fear not though, as you will re-gain your levels much, much more quickly than in your previous life...

progress-knight's Issues

In Town, the Wooden Hut doesn't do updateRawTownIncome

The townBuilding.js doesn't have the line:
gameData.rawTownIncome = updateRawTownIncome();

for the wooden hut, so doesn't seem to do anything if you buy it

Even uber evil doesn't help with chairman

I have more than 40k in evil at this point, the Chairman is still too slow to achieve.
With 1800 in normal multipliers and 2800 in Evil ones, Chairman levelling up is still too slow, I cannot even break lvl100.
Is it broken or am I missing something?

I think the happiness multiplier is off

So, my issue is that my Happiness multiplier is at 17.4, but the only Happiness effects I have are x2.90 for Meditation and x6.0 for the House.

halp plz

where we play game. there no link 💀

Xps requirements increase too fast

I've played this game for more than 5 hours, and I think I'm good at planning upgrading skills. Even though, I still get stuck. So I think there may be something needed to be adjusted.
I've reached Holy knight in the 3rd generation. However, the requirement for the next job includes Battle tactics level 1k, which is nearly impossible to achieve, and I've been stuck at this for about two generations. ( And I don't think I could get over it without cheating)
The Max Levels of my Concentration and Meditation are 872 and 889, respectively.

I've come up with some strategies, maybe I could end up my life learning Concentration only(upgrade other skills' level to a moderate level for boosts) so that I could have a boost in learning Concentration in later generations. But this is quite frustrating.

Here are some of my suggestions:

1. reduce the increasing speed of Xp requirements
   e.g., from Math.round(this.baseData.maxXp * (this.level + 1) * Math.pow(1.01, this.level)) to some lower rank expressions.
2. Increase the boost of Max Level.
   • If we need to surpass the previous Max Level to get a higher boost, it'll be harder and harder to do so. (And the boost's effect is relatively lower and lower)
   • Change the linear boost into some higher rank expressions.
   • Change the boost mechanism, provide a very high boost when the current level is less than Max Level. This makes it easier to achieve progress in early generations.
3. Improve the effect of Bargaining.
   I found that Bargaining is quite useless. It's impossible to afford to live in Grand palace with the job Holy Knight with it. Even Lv 500 Bargaining can only reduce the cost to 0.6x.

Auto pause does not pause game while using "catch up"

Skill active after reincarnation appears to remain active despite unavailability

After touching the eye of the amulet, I noticed I was growing my Productivity skill though it was not available in the skills list. The only skill available is Concentration.

See below where "Productivity" is the currently growing Skill, but is not in the available skills list:

Interested in a Mobile-Friendly Version?

Hi there! A friend of mine sent me the link for your game, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in a mobile version? Nothing insanely fancy, just enough to scale the content with the screen, and display vertically under 770px.

Check it out:

All I really did was pop on a new stylesheet and swap out your PX units for REM, but if you're keen I've got the changes sitting in a new branch and would be happy to share.

Whichever way, great work here and thanks for sharing your game!
