Idle Iktah has been released on Steam! This has been a ton of work over the past year, and I'm so excited to finally have Idle Iktah on desktop. I can finally get back to working on stuff in the game instead of stuff outside the game 😁. Happy Friday everyone! store.steampowered.com/app/3298520/...
For sure! Happy to have all the help I can get :)
Idle Iktah is coming to Steam on April 14th!
It has been a ton of work, and I am so glad to be (mostly) done making UI changes to support resizable windows.
If you're interested in supporting Idle Iktah on Steam, every wishlist helps. Here's a link: store.steampowered.com/app/3298520/...

Version 1.0.39 is now live! This is mostly fixes for bugs caused by the last update. It also includes a Tome of Fire fix to make the effect more reliable when used offline, and the birds are now affected by shaders!

v38 is now live! This update adds the Museum and its three wings: Honors, Exhibits, and Archives. The Honors wing will tie in with achievements in a future update, Exhibits offer new rewards for creating collections, and Archives will keep a record of all the collected items (starting now :))
- Add house storage button to inventory - (and move pets button to skills menu) - Add ‘icon only’ option for bottom bar on wide screens - Add Sun’s Birthday (New Year) event (Dec 20-22) - Fix Shadow Broker not applying markup uniformly - Fix Tracking not showing as source for rare items - Update storage overlay for wide screens - Animate Golden Sunstone Status icon - Performance fixes
Version 1.0.37 is now live! Ok, actually it's been live since the 17th because it needed to be out before the Solstice (aka Sun's Birthday and New Year's) event started :)
Changes: - (Android) Better handle screen orientation changes for wide screens - Tracking/Landkeeping shop recipes are learned when purchased - Shop: tap the free potion row to see time to next free potion - Fix leathers and feathers not showing Tracking as a source - Fix some equipment screen items being hard to select - Add switch indicator to free potion row in Shop - Fix Book of Mastery buttons for wide screens - Fix production log overflowing the screen - Fix Larch button still being present - Fix status log missing item entries - Fix missing/incorrect translations PC - Add auto-sync for Steam saves across devices* - Add house storage button to inventory - (coming to mobile too, just happens to be in PC first) - Smithing bar choices now use scroll wheel - Update starting window size to be larger - Fix macOS backup saves not working - MAXI MODE - Add “icon only” mode for bottom buttons - Add active spot indicator to side bar * Steam only allows one instance of a game at a time. This is very different to how mobile works, and it makes auto-sync much simpler
Version 1.0.35 is now live! The Larch button has finally retreated for the season, and there are many other small fixes to enjoy. And if that's not enough, please enjoy this picture I took of a dahlia!
That's true! Trying to gather larch needles should now show a "not in season" message. Though I didn't catch the button on the community page, so that will have to wait until the next update to be removed.
- Add MAXI MODE (alternative UI for wide screens) - Add Mac support (Steam) - Add Production and Status Logs - Add settings & alternate style for status updates - Fix some missing pets not showing as missing - Fix notifications not respecting Harvest gear - Fix buttons pushed off screen in Larch Shop - Fix Lunar Ring not glowing during full moon - Fix infrastructure remaining xp display bug - Fix mentoring xp + durations not updating - Fix Larch icon cost (in App Icon settings) - Fix Outer Lands button semantics - Translation fixes
This image showcases MAXI MODE. In MAXI MODE there are 3 columns. A list of skills on the left, the main skill area in the middle, and the inventory on the right.
Version 1.0.34 is now live! We now have production logs, status logs, and options for status messages. On the Steam side, we now have Mac support and MAXI MODE - a new widescreen UI with much more color!
Changes: - Fix landscape (tablet/pc) layout bugs: Final Forage & Potion of Choice - Fix very slow offline gains calculation w/ arrows in combat - Fix gathering spots sometimes not showing next locked spot - Fix bug w/ Equipment screen overlays - Fix possible crash on startup - Translation fixes
Version 1.0.33 is now live! This is mostly just fixing a crash introduced in the last update, but there are some other fixes in there as well :)
Good question! Nope, so far the game does not have an action queue.
- Add Larches - Add landscape option on tablets - Add notes, one set of notes per screen - Add “go to location” button to Bonus Resources - Fix Work Orders affected by Gold Rush / Calm Water Elixir - Show locked recipes after starting a Legacy - Update Smilodon / Mammoth drop rates - Fix Rare Reward % labels not updating - Fix Flaming Arrows in Potion Manager - Fix Lunar Ring missing Tracking icon - Hide green highlights after a Legacy - Fix Equipment screen overflowing - Fix SFX in background bug - Fix Mentoring XP bug - Translation fixes - VoiceOver - Play Again screen fixes - Fix Sun and Moon type scores not being announced on the Equipment screen
Version 1.0.32 is now live! Seasonal larch tress at the new "Cinder Pass" location are the highlight. But we also get a new landscape layout for tablets, the ability to create notes for each screen, as well as many other smaller changes. Enjoy!
It's larch season in Idle Iktah! Collect Larch Needles to earn a new app icon. Limited time event ends 10/20.
Real larches are also a limited time event! If you're able, I definitely recommend a trip to see them. Here are some photos from my last trip:
No worries, mobile will get achievements too! The plan is for it to be the same on all platforms with a few exceptions for stuff that doesn't crossover well (e.g. custom app icons are mobile only)
Not looking for anything in particular. Just want to make sure it starts up without bugs and it looks/feels good to play. Thanks for checking it out!
Step 2 - Early Access
Once it seems like it works for most people and doesn’t crash/explode, we’ll move to Early Access. Early Access will be about fixing the rest of the (hopefully smaller) bugs, and adding new content like a legacy rework and achievements - more to come on that later.
Step 1 - Playtest
Join the playtest to help make sure it works on more computers than just mine, and let me know if you find any bugs or funny looking screens. Also, playtest saves don’t automatically carry over to the regular game, though import/export can be used to get around that.
Idle Iktah is coming to Steam/Windows! If you’d like to participate in the playtest, add it to a wishlist, or just want to check out the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3298520/...
Thanks for being part of the journey, and looking forward to any feedback!

Version 1.0.28 is now live! I know most folks probably won't use it more than a couple times, but the volume controls are definitely my favorite part 🎶

Camas are now in "blume", and they are very pretty :)
"the quawmash is now in blume and from the colour of its bloom at a short distance it resembles lakes of fine clear water, so complete is this deseption that on first sight I could have swoarn it was water."
- Meriwether Lewis, June 12th 1806
Not at the moment! Though that's a cool idea, I'll have to see what adding a "big picture" mode would look like :)
Nope, it will still be around! Once it's claimed, if it's ever not in your inventory (perhaps because of a legacy) it can be reclaimed on the settings page :)

Spent some time updating the trailer and got the idea to do a side-by-side of the gameplay. The game looks a lot better today! Especially check out how much nicer the Smithing screen looks 👀
(updated trailer: youtu.be/y_sSqRtISMc)
Sure! There are a couple items you can share with a friend (e.g. Nana Pine’s Fine Dines from the Shop), and the QR code makes that possible without needing an internet connection.
Version 1.0.26 is now live!
Idle Iktah v26 is now live and features lighting according to your position on earth (as set by you using lat/lng coordinates)! Below is the full 24 hour light cycle in 30 seconds :)
