full of maudlin sentimentality

What a choice of a word!

 

[ghostdog]

From the inventory to save systems to the layout of rooms to multiple puzzle solutions to an optional integrated hint system, we’ve tried to focus the game on the fun and challenge of puzzle-solving, exploration, and discovery, while eliminating frustrations and grind.

Glad to hear about multiple solutions to puzzles!

  Makes you think...

Yeah, I hope these are triggered by certain choices/situations, or trigger themselves certain outcomes...

A last development diary, full of maudlin sentimentality.

There is some light C&C but less than Primordia had. How you approach and resolve puzzles may color how the protagonist comes across, but it is less direct than, like, determining which robots show up in the ending.

Mark is too proud or prude to ask, we're very close to that 10k wishlist number on STEAM.

Even if you plan on buying on GOG, please go touch that wishlist button

Mark has promised nudes for this. I'm not sure anyone would wish for that, but here we are, situation is dire lol. Anyway, personally I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone for this endless support you've given us <3

I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle. 10k wishlist or else nudes.

Gotta know when to use the carrot vs the stick.

 

[MRY]

“I laid myself bare for this game” misinterpreted by my ESL teammate. Typical.

 

[agris]

In all seriousness, very excited for the release. I don't know when I will have time to play but, but Primordia brought me back to adventure games after a loooong hiatus. I'm excited to (eventually) see what a more experienced Wormwood delivers!

 

[MRY]

Thanks. I hope you find the time, and that it doesn't disappoint if you do.

 

[Jenkem]

What is the price and will there be a launch discount.

 

[MRY]

$15 and 10% discount.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Discounts won't help homie, show nudes or no purchase.

 

[Maxie]

i hope there are some cute steam badges and amusing steam chat emotes included in this release
you're a professional now MRY certain things simply cannot be done without

 

[MRY]

Yes. All the cruft will be there.

Yes. All the cruft will be there.

Oh, boy.

[MRY]

Cruft, indeed.

Meanwhile, we are nowhere near 10k wishlists, but we did make it onto the Popular Upcoming list (currently #8).

Anyway, continue your great patriotic duty and support Strangeland!

5 days hype

 

[MRY]

To paraphrase Cawker City's World's Largest Ball of Twine*: Cruft + Hype = Success.

(* Not the World's Largest Ball of Twine that appears in Sam & Max Hit the Road, which is likely meant to be the one in Darwin, Minnesota, though to me its map positions seems closer to Lake Nebagamon. America has many large balls of twine.)

Did an interview with Josh Bycer, who does podcasts on game design. Honestly, I don't know who could possibly be interested in an hour and a half of listening to the two of us, or even a few minutes of seeing my distressing hairline, but anyway:

The audio seems desynchronized to boot. That said, I think it was a pretty fun interview!

 

[Maxie]

God is diverse in virtues he bestows; some of us record one and a half hour long interviews, some enjoy a full head of hair

 

[MRY]

Epimetheus had nothin' left by the time he got to me.

 

[Maxie]

can't unhear MRY insisting on pronouncing 'you know' as 'yo' throughout the entire interview
