With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively.

Anybody have any idea how Cloverpit calculates the goal scores for each level?
The values are very specific, so I'm wondering if they were manually chosen based on playtests or did they use an algorithm

Dealing with my quarterly mental illness episode, totally disrupts my life but the world doesn't slow down to wait. I've barely left the house in the past 2 weeks, sleeping 10+hrs a day, and struggling to make myself eat. It'll pass but I wish I could turn on an "out of commission" sign for a while.

A lot of people on here seem to spend all their spare time spouting out negativity. Very difficult to be around, don't have time for it these days. Would rather love and support the people around me than drag them down for the sake of it
