Ok question for the #gamedev crew. I think it would be neat to have an indicator by menu choices that shows dialogue tree flows like “this moves you forward” vs “opens a sub-menu of questions” or “exits a sub-menu”. These placeholder emoji are terrible of course. Thoughts? Good/bad idea?
lockable choice menus

Made a screen that’ll let us set really granular game states and jump around the story

Seems like a nice chill spot to hunker down and finish the game, and not at all like a setting in the game
This Chesapeake treasure is ours for $450K. The lighthouse at the mouth of the Potomac comes with 4BRs, hurricane-rated windows, and more than a little romance. Crab pots convey! #FridayNightZillow www.zillow.com/homedetails/...?

Somebody just wrote on Kickstarter to make sure you can romance the boys. Yes! This game is gay as hell!

Definitely the sort of thing you say to your lord every time he comes up to you!

Seven days left 😱 we’re already funded but can we make it to a nice round number?? $20 gets you the game (when it’s done) and a Kickstarter exclusive story collection—and the exclusives only get better from there

Very excited to see the character designs our top backers come up with for some of the big remaining NPCs. We got [spoilers], we got a helpful elder thing, we got a forest witch, we got a deathly ill magical librarian, we got a talkative ghoul,

If you’d like to help bring a mad AI character to life you should give us money for the character art and also get lots of exclusive goodies www.kickstarter.com/projects/485...

Got dynamic nighttime + lighting rendering working, that was quite an ordeal. Just gotta add variable dimensions which should be a cinch

Since we’re funded it’s time to think about stretch goals! Lots of people are saying they’d like voice acting, but that wouldn’t become feasible until like $10k. Intermediate ones we can think of are in-game collectible card game and playable character backstories, what else? #gamedev
