Merry Christmas or Christmas Eve depending where you're at! Today I've decided to release a bunch of updates, releases, and stuff for today. I'd have to say Idle Game Maker recieved the best facelift from all of this, but I'll get into that below. Check out the changelog for all updated games below!
CLEARED ALL SAVEDATA. I made the decison to clear all savedata as the game was already heavily exploited. This is not the sole reason I chose to do this. Major aspects of this game has changes in this update, and it would be difficult to keep all old data. If you finished the game previously, it'd also be extremely simple to gain the newer achievements, while avoiding the newer features and gameplay the new additions have added. Sorry if this angers anyone, but it's for the best.
Idle game maker is also now an Android App! Download today!

P.S. This game is simply a sandbox tool, I'll hopefully be adding onto this periodically, as it's very simple to do. I want to add a savegame feature to this, but ran into issues a few days ago. But expect more in the coming days for content, and possibly sharing your creations!
Rolling out the Museum finally! This update also slightly changes how data is loaded from local saves. Tested and seems to work fine, but comment if something is weird.
Additions:
- Museum! Added artifacts to buy and unlock!

Changes:
- Added trophy for Best City achievement. Wait ~10 seconds if already named this after launching your city.
Fixes:
- Modified loading of blocks to hopefully have less visual glitching
