just an FYI, your anti cheat "system" dosent take into account skill usage.

example: i have over 4 million uses of every skill, so that i can do every skill with 1 clone. been like that as soon as each new skill was unlocked. your game dosent care at all. granted, youve made it a bit more difficult to just grab values and put them as you want, but you seem to have forgotten to obfuscate the value for skill usage.

as an FYI to other people, the title of "cheater god" is easilly removed if you actually know what youre doing and arent some rando just booting up cheat engine, hooking the program, and expecting everything to basically work for you. which i only suggest doing if you dont submit yourself to the leaderboards. otherwise youre a ♥♥♥♥.

I'm not really sure why people cheat anyway. There is also a setting to not submit highscores. So if people cheat and are fair, they should turn submitting highscores off.
The main reason I'm able to catch cheaters is the highscore anyway. So if someone turns it off, there would be no way for me to catch them (if the current checks wouldn't detect it).

Cheating normally hurts the fun and especially in an idle game which is more or less a time killer when you wait for something else, I see no sense in cheating.
Beating a game which is there as a fill-in to waste some time of you are bored witch cheating, so you are faster kind of defeats the purpose.

1-2% of the players still cheat or try to cheat, so I made some basic anti-cheating checks. But the game is clientside and every player could easily edit their save, if they know what they do. It is not really possible to prevent cheating and also not worth to spend too much time for me on it. What I did just catches most of the cheaters who don't know what they and prevent highscores who are obvisously cheated.

in his defense is it possible that his steam account shares the user ID with a seperate Kong account? My understanding is that the two both use the same database... but pressumably it's possible for a steam ID to clash with (and thus the two would overwrite each other) a Kong ID.

Obviously, I have no access to codes to know whether this is a plausible scenario - I'm merely playing devils advocate.

Ryu looked at both steam and kong where both had the same playtime. I'd be fairly certain that he isn't looking at two different accounts.

At first I was thinking maybe a 3rd party has hacked either the kong or steam account and had cheated it. However anyone should have noticed how their stats had drastically changed overnight. Basically Syliss never denied that any of these screenshots are his game so yea he cheated.

But can we hav our non-highscore save and a highscore save? becuase i do like "for science!" things to do while trimming my skills abit for the live version. kinda hate reading and re reading guides just to learn nothing really. expect for some rare bits of gold!

i don't know how much work it might be but any chance (having a page system or diffent accounts on the same steam id or kong server) again not a dev so i don't know how much work or hassle it'll be, but for me i'd like the feture.

I find it more humorous that the OP decided to delete the opening post text, deleting their replies about how they didn't cheat, and forgot that they can't delete the developer's replies or anyone elses after being confirmed as a cheater.

This after hiding their profile from being viewed...

Ladies and gentlemen we have a sore loser after confirmed cheating has happened.

Ahahahah this keeps getting better.

For any who come along later, this dude complained about "wrongfully" getting a title for cheating, ryu shows undeniable proof that he did cheat. dude gets suuuuper butthurt.

[best bulliet target]

well no need to dial it up to being butthurters, lets just say he didn't get what he wanted. and hav this thread closed now? cannot see anything good come from it anymore
