the rude blacksmith has enchanted me. also feeling so normal about this game that i did pixel art for the first time ever to try and draw my farmer in the game style

programming languages are usually at least kind of legible, and then there's regular expressions, which look like arcane symbols used for summoning every demon in hell

this is technically human readable. someone wrote this.

v1.1.0 - THE TEST RUN UPDATE IS OUT NOW

This version includes several huge updates to Signal Hill, including...

NEW LEADS

TEST RUN (24.5k). You've convinced the Lamplighters to give you a chance- but before you can become a member, you'll have to do a little test run. Nothing big, of course. One of her guys has been kidnapped by a gang called the Motorheads, and she's just going to drop off the ransom and pick him up. Hopefully nothing goes wrong...

SHOTGUN ROMANCE (4.5k). You chatted up the guard at The Rose and Thorn, Reese, and it seems like he's into you. He asked you to meet him at the bar in The Stacks after work. This would be a good chance to learn a little about The Rose and The Red Light District. And also maybe get laid? (This lead is not available for male player characters)

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

Some players felt that turning off location descriptions caused them to get too disoriented when walking around the overworld. I've implemented a new system by which every location will show the full description upon first visiting, and after that, it will be replaced by a condensed one paragraph description. You can always re-read the full one by clicking the location's title. This should save some scrolling for folks who don't want to turn off descriptions!

For devotees, the altar is now accessible. If you already set up your altar and it was not accessible, it now will be. You can sacrifice items there to receive a buff to one of your skills at a time.

For a full list of bug fixes and updates in this version, check out the public release notes, which will be updated for every new version of the game.

PLAY IT NOW.

well I just got laid off from my (non game dev) job 🥲 so if you're looking for advice on releasing visual novels, marketing advice, how to run a Kickstarter etc. I'm open for consultations

I've got 10 years experience making visual novels, I've marketed several successful VNs over the past few years, and I've worked on multiple fully funded Kickstarters for VNs. so uh. if you're looking for someone to bounce ideas off of or want someone to help put you in the right direction, email me!

once again i am recommending fedi/mastodon to all my followers. i personally hang out on the lethallava.land server but you can literally set up shop wherever you wish... the open web is your oyster... you can follow anyone anywhere....

I just finished emailing Biden about claims of voter fraud/intimidation (which you should do too) and it never occured to me that we could just like. Email the president. Whenever and about whatever we want. So what I'm saying is we should definitely NOT spam Tr*mp's email with useless junk when his pathetic baby ass is back in the white house. It definitely wouldn't be funny and totally would be like so immature and bad...

so... theres a petsim i found out about some time ago called Pastry Cats. they are in very, VERY early development, with just a couple of news posts detailing their plans for game mechanics, some art they've worked on, and some other stuff. you can sign up to be invited to their beta and to get sent news updates and i was like, ok, i'll bite. and then i sort of just forgot about it but today i got an email!

its just a general update email with a refresher of their plans along with some new stuff but it came with a little extra something!!

A custom bakery sign with my chosen bakery name!!! They said this was an “early cat” special for newsletter subscribers and I'm so endeared by it.

I really don't know what sort of expectations I have for this project, but like, aw! So cute! I hope it can get far enough for me to play at least.

What's going on in NB guys?? I haven't been reading the story. I can barely even grind the event. Why is my twitter feed filled with people mad about how MC treated Solomon? What happened to his cooking?? Do we finally get ✨C O O K I N G L O R E✨ (ik I've ranted about it in the past Devilgram summary I shared lmao retribution came fast)

i think everyone should have something really really niche topic to be insane about. for your health. and it’s better to do this with friends so you can go crazyyyy together
