I built a companion site for IncreKnight after getting way too into the game — mainly because I kept forgetting which upgrades actually mattered and when to prestige. The incremental/idle community doesn't have great centralized resources for this one yet, so I figured I'd share what I've put together.
The site itself is pretty simple static HTML + a bit of vanilla JS (trying to keep things lightweight, no frameworks). What ended up being interesting was structuring the data in a way that makes the progression visible rather than just telling people "do X at level Y."
Some things I focused on when putting it together:
• Prestige timing table — not just the optimal point, but the breakpoints where you're better off pushing a little further for a specific unlock. This was surprisingly tricky to map out because the knight tier system creates these weird plateaus in efficiency.
• Ability synergy breakdown — the game doesn't really surface which abilities compound each other. A few combos are borderline broken but easy to miss if you're just reading tooltips.
• Gear path flowchart — instead of a flat list, I mapped it as a decision tree since some early-game picks gate you out of certain mid-game builds.
If you're into idle games with actual build variety (not just "number go up" with no decisions), I've got the full thing at [increknight-guide.com] with all the prestige math and synergy tables. Would love to know if anyone's found different breakpoints than what I calculated — my numbers are based on about 3 weeks of tracking, but I could definitely be off on the late-game thresholds.
What's your approach to prestige timing in incremental games generally — do you trust the calculators or just go by feel?
