Import Save is a little slow at the moment, please give the game 15 seconds after pasting your save to let it catch up.
You awake in a dark void.
The only thing in front of you is a glowing orb...
Orb of Creation [Dev 0.5.4]
is a magic- and spell-themed incremental about creating the world around you from nothing but magic.
Orb of Creation is in version Dev 0.4.x. This is an experimental build. I'm starting to refine the game a lot more, but it is still largely exploring the space. Your saves are not safe from being wiped between major versions and there is a lot more content to come.

Tips and Tricks
I want to teach everything to the player via gameplay so if you haven't played the game, do so first. While I build a more robust in-game guide/glossary, here are a couple tips:
1) Numbers Keys (1-9) cast spells, and QWER for other usable things.
2) Modifiers in OoC stack additively. +100% from two different sources results in +200%. HOWEVER, modifiers that effect things different, stack separately. For example, +100% spell power and +100% resource spell power, will result in +300% total power for resource spells.
3) There is no timing-mechanic with the upgrades. No matter when you purchase +10% capacity, the math will always make it +10% capacity.

i dont know if I've finished the game, and I really hope this isn't abandoned, I've had a great time with this game :)
Just lost my save file. 100+ hours of gameplay, gone. Pain...
interesing, but save import system dont work sadly
edit: update game, at least update steam version, 35 hours gameplay
what do i need to do to get (more-dev time thanks)?
when I'm in science class I'm brain dead but when I play this game my intelligence increases ten-fold
i think my game is bugged (i think it fixed when I got another. keeps doing both)
Legendary game, legendary developer.
I just discovered the, "pondering my orb" meme and figured this game was inspired by it, but it seems this game predates the meme's spread. Wild.
hey sometimes all my saved data is gone like this:
I had a lot of play time
I hope that in the next version the search will be more flexible, right now I keep having to go over half the spell list to find what I want because the spell's effect isn't always part of the search terms so the search is essentially useless to me.
For example "mana" does find Still Reflection, but it doesn't find Brilliance.
Cool concept but it gets ridiculously complicated later on, I guess this game is for a very specific kind of person who likes managing Excel spreadsheets
Hi Marple. I am playing Orb of Creation on Mac and I would like to know if you will keep updated the game in this site once the next version gets out of beta. I dont mind paying for it, it's money well spent. However, it seems that the steam version is not compatible with Mac.
I'd like to play the newest beta version here instead of having to shell out $$$$ for what is, essentially an unknown quantity (I'm told beta 0.6 is a radical overhaul)
my progress is suddenly gone
Um, all my progress is suddenly gone. Was there on Friday, but as of today, it's all gone.
great game
What does it mean when it says "Improve x quality"?
it means to improve how much x is worth per unit.
increasing to 125% would mean that each unit counts as 1.25 units instead, reducing the costs to 80%, and likewise improving gains indirectly by having less drain on the resource.
So in short, it makes things that use x cost less, right?
The game is horribly broken, I click launch and all that happens is a gray screen and a useless "Fullscreen" button.
The game isn't broken; this is just it loading. If you wait for a bit, the game will have loaded, and you can use the full screen button.
Perseverance is supposed to increase the effect of Wisdom but it instead decreases it, I went from 18k mana to 8k by upgrading it a bunch not realizing its working wrong, now my multi-hour game is borked,
perseverance reduced your mana capacity because it reduced your current amount of thaumaturgy.
This is really cool! I like the unique take on incremental games.
I love this game, there is so much depth!!!
Really interesting and good progression, thank you.
i have a save file that doesn't load on the last version, it works on the 0.4.5 version but not in the one on steam, is there any way to get my save back on the last update?
i love the game but can you make it easyer to save your file
Cool Game! Achievements?
Really enjoyed playing this game. I plan on spending some more time with it. Well done!
So is this and steam still being updated?
Cuz a few reviews claim you dun died
may we get a wiki?
You would never guess where will you find another clicker...
Hint: Try Pause-Resume your darn-slow research.
I liked the game a bit better when alchemy did not level up like spells. Also, when the artifacts could level up.
Hey, question, How do you reset keybinds?
I'm kinda sad, because there's no way to port an earlier build onto this updated version.
You technically could if you were to download the game on steam. all- or most, i believe- games have an update history, and you can download every version individually. I don't know how to do it on Itch.IO, but I'm sure it'd be possible.
It wasn’t on Steam until 0.5, so this isn’t an option.
huh. Well, then, I don't know if you'd get a quick response or not but i'm sure you could message or contact teh dev in some way to ask about it. Sorry my info isn't useful to you. Best of luck, dude!
lol I’m not the guy you replied to initially, I was just informing you
thanks to both of you anyway
will the game ever be available on android
You bet! Just a matter of time :)
Ooooh I was just hoping I could play this on my phone in browser, it actually does work but the screen is offset by a bit so I can't see the whole game screen, seems like you could actually play in browser on mobile if I was able to make the screen a little zoomed out
zoom out using browser settings
This might be the most addictive game I've ever played. I am more easily addicted to games than most people, but in this game there is ALWAYS another upgrade or new mechanic right around the corner. You have done a great job creating a game that is compelling, stylish, and polished. It's great work. But I've just spent half a week playing this game and neglecting myself and my work. This game is dangerous, and I regret trying it.
It's less manipulative and a better game than other incremental games I've played, but it's every bit as dangerous
Just updated and I can no longer access the game- tried reinstalling, deleting the folder, everything- either it opens the folder or it opens a black screen with a defunct Fullscreen button. Can you try and fix this, or make a way to access 0.4.0 again so that we can still play on that version during the wait?
This is still happening, all I'm getting is a gray screen and a useless Fullscreen button.
