That's actually really helpful. Tell your dad thanks for me!

Nothing cool like dark lights in Obra Dinn, just standard direct light casting. I think there was a period in the 2010's when some games used small dark lights for fake ambient shadows on characters. Not casting afaik though.

Thank you! I tried to set up a slightly ungated endgame where it was the player's choice to struggle through filling out the entire book. Less blame for me :)

Thank you!

Sure, as long as the mod doesn't contain any copyrighted stuff or imply that it's official/supported. Thanks for asking. How does the game feel in VR with this? Was always suspecting that a gently rocking boat is asking for trouble in VR and everything would need a rework.

Uh oh. Thanks for letting me know. Fart probs are top priority. Do you remember how this happened or if it's reproducible? Had a poke around the code and mess.lua:1943 is just the comment "-- too much dirt". So biting and topical, no choice but to crash.

Wait, she gave _you_ a presentation for _her_ birthday? Gonna run this idea by my kids.

Incredible work! A+ full marks. Especially love the directed graph of deaths. I had the game outputting something similar during development for debugging.

Check out this amazing pencil-drawn animation for Obra Dinn by Nora McIntyre @noradora.bsky.social . Recaps the game brilliantly in 3rd person. Beautifully done, thank you Nora!

Layers, this one has. I'm assuming the album scam came first, then it trickled down to the wiki.

Just lovely. Thank you for the details!

Yeah I guess it's a TuneCore + Spotify specific scam. Thanks for checking.

Now that’s weird because I’ve also talked to TuneCore support and they’ve pitched this as a Spotify problem. Thanks for the info, I’ll drag it up with them again.

I didn’t write “Gosling Drives” and I have no idea who did. Why is it listed on my Spotify artist page you ask? Great question. If anyone knows what kind of scam this is, or why Spotify won’t remove it after multiple requests, I’m all ears.

Thank you!

Thanks Tom :)

It will take some serious effort to stay awake under those conditions. The soft music, droning voice. No chance.

That looks great! Bex nailed it.

Thanks Robin!

Thank you!

Hah, I never noticed that :) Just a coincidence though!

Thank you, ‪Hélène!

Thanks! Sorry, no immediate plans for another platform but I'll think about it.

It's over 2.5 hours long so expect to get real damn sick of my voice.
