Hey everyone! You may (or may not) have noticed we’ve decided to pause our Patreon pledges for the time being. The issues we’ve been having with the hardware have taken progress from slowly moving on to hardly getting anything done, and so, after some back and forth, we both agreed it’d be ...

Going back to SOP, I've encou...

Upon releasing Chapter 1 of Strangers on Paper, we have collected some questions we’ve seen pop up in different places and thought we could answer them all in one post for your convenience.
To say these have been some busy weeks would be quite the understatement. I don’t even know how to write a dev log anymore. I mean, right now we should be taking a break. We said we would do so after the release. Wait two or three days and take at least a week or something off.
So why did...

2023-04-27 16:27:43 +0000 UTC View PostI often joke about having “too many hobbies”. There’s a lot of things I enjoy doing, yet there’s not enough time in the world to dedicate myself to just one.
