Yay more progress~! May you have more time for progress next week!

Yay! No temporal weirdness in the Warp Zone Place!

Yay progress! Yay dungeon-end stuff only left! May the boss be not too hard to do! Then again, with all the tools available, a challenge might mandate the boss be complex. :crosses_fingers:!

Metahumor / funny in how it takes so long before every section of the first continent is easily teleportable!

(Can now hold 67 messages) - HA!

Lol the note’s face drawing! Fun pictures!

Genderless is nice and simple! Woo fun facts!

Funny thing, if you talk to food truck guy through the machine before the real game starts, the text box starts and then jumps into the right position, and it can happen repeatedly if you step back all the way and try again…

In my bug reports, I kept calling them Vending Machine guy lol

Interesting how we only get LAIKA’s name in all caps at first, and red, so we’re not sure if that’s her name or if it’s been twisted somehow! Heh

Minor thing at start is it’s unclear how Ruthi ends up in Tarjin’s space after movement control returns but she ends the cutscene all the way down away from him? But I guess she / they took Laika to safety before turning to the park.

That’s some nice hair sway in the walk cycles and non-mirrored sprites!

Woo! Thanks for making bug fixes!

Good luck bug hunting! Good to hear your week was good!

Yay for Check being basically a canary to tell you of problems!

ooh, it’s like that, in that it’s different from all other locations. huh. … Is that why there’s no other numbers for it, I guess. … And I thought my 02 was for a vehicle… but no… lol

Or is that a pun on his name???

Took me so long to find the drinking location of Alex… I thought it was a automated device! Only looking at the background image of the game, and his job, made me guess at it!

What starts with DU? I kept thinking it was an acronym, not a shortening, but of what? Du… Not even the map helps… And also up and down are opposite of intuitive? If I’m on the top, I expect Down to take me down a floor, but I need Up to do that?

Really should autosave after a name completion. I finished a name, and quit then finished my final name and had to redo my previous…

Should this game need full-screen? Because it looks like it might, at the score entry screen… If I get to the second level, I can’t see the “Escape to Exit” which clashes with fullscreen anyway.

Would’ve been nice to know Manifest v2 doesn’t need full names. Lol the punny names!

Thanks! I’ve got 2 01-s, 3 02-s, one 03 and two 09-s!

If there’s any 10-s, I’ll be annoyed since one of the 09s seems to be leaving someone in a room alone, and nothing seems to be continuing on from that I can find…

Well. That explains that. Time to try other letters. … And the other obvious option worked. Consistency!

And Name unlocked… Now, what’s ID? Is it just a random number of my choosing, or something else?? Oh. That ID.

When does auto-save happen? I put a name in, refreshed and it doesn’t stick. And how many valid Titles are there? Apparently S can be two different titles. heh … EDIT: Oh, nevermind, you can write anything you want. So long as ID is right, lol… HA! we can rename them!

EDIT: Would like being able to go Back from Notes, since I did that immediately and typing that file is hard.

I thought there was only one number per Feed, and it was pure chronological, until I got my second 2 due to a lucky guess from playing Type Help a bit, and then just guessed at numbers until I got my second second number. Lol!

I wonder if every location has every number… Seems like it.

bushmonkey, if you’re reading this, maybe fix the “01-BR-1-2” Feed in the screenshots, to represent the current game?

If Cargo Bay is not CB, I’ll be so annoyed.

Cool! Good luck game making! Following!

Took me two tries, I thought I could immediately run after getting the necessary things fixed up, but nope.

Decided to disable the things because it was the only thing left, other than trying to prep for the other option.

Well, good to know it isn’t the totally wrong thing to do, even though I never used the choice it unlocked.

I wish I could download this so I don’t have to come back here if I wanna play it again, but good game!

Figured out the two-letter-codes for 5 people, got stuck, not sure how to find any Documents.

Wish there was a in-game place to store names. Only got the “name” command from the comments, but it’s useless currently?

But Feed 9 has a typo:

relunctantly > reluctantly

If you wanna be diagetic, maybe make the drawers bigger and write the words length wise instead of top-to-bottom so you have enough space instead of needing to mouse-over?

This is already a full-screen game, so you have all the screen real-estate and don’t have to just zoom in on tiny graphics for a menu?

Took me a bit to see how the main menu works. Cool though!

And got my first two books. Card Catalog issue, make it that clicking where you get mouseover text opens the drawers too?

Yay less bugs! Hope next week goes well too! See ya!

ooh, if that screenshot’s the game over screen, looks real good!

Gonna test out the bugs I reported now…

Seems good except for how it captures Menu Exit X! Lol

Oh, they switched positions. huh.

Paladin including Tarjin at the end there, after the green! Sweet!

…

Squib: a short humorous or satiric writing or speech

hmm.

Thanks for telling us! Good luck with testing~!

You’re welcome! I decided to try again and finally got it, I tried so many options, but all it took was figuring out what the right first word was! Or maybe exactly what kind of sentence I would be saying in English, given the ~100% word I thought should be there.

Because I paid just a bit more attention this time!

Oh, there’s a second sentence-making puzzle. mmm. Gosh, I froze up on the last word there, grokked it too hard and couldn’t translate in the moment lol. No pun intended!

Ooh, third puzzle is even (slightly?) harder! Noun-conjugations or whatever! Yay for Inventory! And those last word options… Lol never having to get any item beyond getting the phone number.

Phew! Took a guess with the right middle word because of your meme-y way of making them made the first particle or whatever a good guess!

Lol how they finally beat the tower! HAAAAA! Lol it even has a response for that!

Epilogue! Slight shippy vibes! Yeah! Lol regrets.

ooh. even shippier! Drinks! BASED!

squibbling > squabbling [?]

If notepad line crosses over into another line, a newline doesn’t newline but makes a space.

Is current web version this version? Because closing Notepad with X is causing inputs being put into the Pad that shouldn’t be there. Like X and Q, and W ETC.

And even closing with Tab doesn’t totally prevent it? Closing with Tab and opening from the menu options is still showing issues?

Or is it my keyboard or something? hmm.

And Insert can open the notepad?

Can talk to Vending Machine guy from behind the machine? Probably shouldn’t? But funny?

If I click and drag and let go, I get tons of clicks??

Eh. Gonna replay this, and yeah, this game can be beaten in under 1hr: First run commentary quit at final boss:

Altheia! A.k.a Truth! Heh!

… Woo! LOG! Lol autoscroll too! Nice!

…

Lol Paladin Cop~!

…And not so funny. But interesting setup. Now to watch TV!

…

Striving for Truth. mmm.

…

Lol interrupter hair.

…

ooh. She’s the Tower of Babel! I assume! Towery.

…

Name: ??? lol

…

Lol old hag. … love and affection lol … And now it’s happening! … Fire tutorial indeed! … ooh, can only cross at crosswalk! … I should’ve thought to use the notepad earlier lol … AmoGus! HA! … Nehida is tree. hmm. Makes me think of https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Nahida … Uncut interview lol … Lol just guessed the phonecall answer and won?

Gen MZ! … Final battle is a bop!

Oooh! Clicking words! And the final word probably is obvious. The first set, well, I know what not to pick… hmm. … Ooh, no bad end cutscene. aw. Maybe write Game Over in BaBel? … Oh, Notepad stays across saves. Nice! …

Fun references! Yay, some progress! Heh, I only know about Runescape due to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf-Fe5unI_M … May next week go better!

Good luck with reach! Woo! Trailer!

Nice! Color Assist accessibility woo!

Woah! Secrets indeed! I had to look close and see the anims to get the Flesh part! Haha!

Thanks for clarifying! I have enough backlog that the self-contained near-one-room nature of this fits well into what I want right now. Good luck with your bigger projects and all!

Oh. Good thing I read those install instructions! Might play it solo, but at least Archipelago Games are guaranteed to have a lotta checks / content!

Woah, is it deliberately looking like the Fiend is holding the Haunted Weaponry? Do they actually work together as a group? In either case, concerning!

If there’s one Fiend, there’s probably others about?

Congrats on getting all the enemies placed! Good luck next week!

Too bad that I’m playing this on a comp with no sound! And trying to play without using too many souls. Currently used only 9! But after seeing the Understand goal, woof, that’s a toughie. Gonna keep my morals and not send more souls into this project. hehe

I got far enough into the upgrades and got the 100 Quartz machine that I wondered what Excess Copper would be for, then since I was avoiding them, realized it’s what consumable items are for! Heh.

(un)Lucky I didn’t play yet!

I did indeed! Only did the Good endings. Nice endings!

Language game series! Descendants! Title makes sense!

Woo! Congrats on release!

Woah, cool alchemist power / skill to smell poisons!?

Congrats on final dungeon of this update! May things proceed quickly and efficiently!

I only got an antenna due to comments saying it was useful. Otherwise I would’ve not spent my money on something that had a limited lifetime.

At least now I unlocked Anomaly Value increase?

I guess Coins per Scan is actually a “damage” increase and I got it too high so I whited out due to killing them too fast and respawning too fast?

I was wondering what the point of moving my main antenna around, but then I did it repeatedly and it got further away, so I figured it out in the end.

Woo! Congrats on a solid pace!

Heh, monsters hiding in this peaceful scene!

Lol the timing of me seeing this vid’s ad: https://youtu.be/4fzuxbyO77c?t=393

https://muddasheep.itch.io/faith-in-despair

Me knowing of two card-builder roguelikes now, and one from a vid that released like a day after your Steam announcement. The chances, are they astronomical??

Dialogue fun!

Yay for 2/3 of update dungeons done!

Good luck with Steam! Good to know the story didn’t change so I don’t have to rebuy for that!
