Now that Steam has made the game pages wider, I had to update the long description.
Annoying to see their WYSIWYG editor producing horrible tag soup that always gets borked after each save, so I still need to edit the content manually.
Looks like they haven't tested this feature, as usual.

This was a negative review, later turned into a rather positive one. It's nice to see the AI I've spent so much time nurturing being appreciated.
Also, Steam can't handle review decision changes, so the graph still shows the wrong data. Reported the bug. ;)

The pitchfork lynchbrigade anti-AI mentality is getting tiresome.

Big thanks to all the brave, if not foolhardy, adventurers that spent some time exploring Weepstone Keep in the demo. So much to come! Nose going back to the grindstone now. Hope you enjoyed it and please leave a review!

The desktop Epic Game Store application is ridiculously bad. Very slow startup time, horrible UX, and very often refuses to quit, so I must shut it down from the Windows Task Manager.
I wonder why Epic is fine with this.

Today's achievement: notice how WA keeps its kerning. That's proportional, dynamic text with individual letter coloring/outline.
Achieved with `get_string_size` and `draw_string` plus an outline shader.
Just to test a prototype. :)

Godot's RichTextLabel can color individual letters, using BBCode markup. Unfortunately, the markup nukes kerning (an offset between certain letter pairs, like VA or AT). But I must have kerning!
So I'm experimenting with font.get_string_size today to get the positions.

Still waiting on Steam's response to Fragnarök pre-alpha playtest, so I'm doing my necromancy on Dragon Riddler. First commit: 434 changed files. Yep, it'll be a MAJOR change for the better! :) Can't wait to share more.

Steam is particularly picky with reviewing store assets, even if it's only meant for a private playtest application, not for the main game's Steam presence.

Rider is pretty good with GDScript, but it can't understand
var x := SomeResource.new()
To get better code completion, it's better to write this:
var x:SomeResource = SomeResource.new()
Otherwise, I'm truly impressed!

I built a prototype for a game idea that I'm about to start playtesting on Steam soon.
It's NOT CHESS BOXING. It's FRAGNARÖK!
