Final Version and General Changelog

v1.2 [Final Version] - April 23, 2024:

Never made a devlog before, but I added a bunch of stuff to this 'game' recently, so I might as well.

The most important update: Your progress should now be saved even if you close the tab or window. You'll be brought back to the same location as long as you don't clear your cookies and local storage and what have you. Should make it easier to pick up things where they've been left off.

I've been adding images for the various areas. No new areas, but it should be easier to distinguish between different rooms when there are more visuals. You can see three images that were added above. (The original pictures are here, here and here.) I used a Python program I made that turns boring PNGs into more interesting GIFs with glitch effects, though it's meant only for my computer, so I'm not sure if anyone else would find it useful.

There are also attempts at bugfixes, more CSS tweaks hardly anyone will notice, and a spiffier intro screen. Ultimately not much.

I had the idea of putting in more characters and areas, adding puzzles, or even adding an ending, but it's been so long and I doubt many people would see those things anyway. Right now, it already takes hours to see everything and most people will hardly go past the first area. I may fix more bugs later, but this is more or less the final version.

Some kind people have played this game and left messages. Thank you.

v2.0.2 [Final, Final Version] - May 8, 2025:

I didn't plan to update this game after April 2024, but I've made several small changes since then. No game content has been added beyond a few more images. The changes mostly consist of additional bugfixes and UI improvements.

As of today, I've made what I really believe will be the final change. I won't work on the game after this.

The full changelog is below, since having it in the description was taking up too much space.

Changelog:

• v1.0.1 - v1.0.3 (Jan 8, 2024): Minor changes to About section and UI. Mobile compatibility.
• v1.0.4 (Jan 15, 2024): Very small bugfix for an issue that occasionally stopped boards from loading if the messages had too many special characters in them.
• v1.1.0 - v1.1.1 (Jan 24, 2024): Post-comp release; improved CSS, added a few new rooms, and reworked message reads/writes. Code is public on Github now.
• v1.1.2 - v1.1.3 (Feb 4, 2024): Improved About section, slightly changed the format of credit pages, reduced image sizes, minor CSS changes.
