Unsuspecting Factory Incremental Game (UFIG)

A terminal-based "game" — although by the looks of it, I wouldn't consider it one. But it's still a game.

It is a game About Turning one resources to another, Currently there is no goal, so lets just say we collect em cuz they cool

I'd like to call these Greek letters Arcospheres.

What It Currently Has

• Production Chain (Essence → Alpha → Beta → Gamma)
• 7 Upgrades (buy factories with Essence + Arcospheres for Essence upgrades)
• Save / Load System
• Cool UI (maybe)

How to Run

• Install .NET 6.0
• .NET 6.0 SDK or higher For Windoe

Arch-based systems:

sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk-6.0

(Higher versions will also work)

Compile from source

git clone [this-repo-link]
cd UFIG/
dotnet run
# or for Linux
sudo chmod +x ./compile.sh && ./compile.sh

Download from release ( not available for now )

Mentions

• This Game is heavily inspired by Factory games like Factorio, Shapez, Satisfactory among others.
• The name "Arcospheres" is inspired by the Factorio mod Space Exploration. I was fascinated by the Arcosphere puzzle and the balancing aspect — I plan to turn that into gameplay later.
  To the Space Exploration modder(s): Pls dont sue meeee.

• This is my first proper "game" that's actually "finished." I'm fully open to advice or feedback — on gameplay or code. It would be much appreciated!

Future Plans (if I don't drop this)

• Switch to SadConsole for even cooler UI, plus a narrator to guide the player (this Feels like too much work)
• Make Essence be mined (miners) instead of Magically produced and factories time-based instead of tick-based, with progress bars! Very cool UI yes
• Add a Research Feature to unlock cooler stuff and the main progression path. Likely using Arcospheres as cost. Will take time, but I'm excited!
• Way later: add pixel art sprites so you can actually see the beautiful spheres, factories, and miners. Will definitely take time lol.
• Add Planets, Travel system, and Outposts

My Notes

If you like this, thank you! But I don't want to get your hopes up. I'm not a good programmer, nor a consistent one, I wont promise that this game will be consistently updated, but I do not plan on abandoning it either.

The game window is only accounting 1280x720 screens.
