The new Crescyt Content Progress screen! Accessible from your housing cell and (hopefully) user-friendly. Includes a short passage to guide to the content when you click on 'em.
I also found some unreported bugs in the code, so another benefit to this. A thank-you to the new players that gave the feedback that led to this being created!
I'm most happy that the story titles I'm so pettily proud of actually get to be displayed IN GAME and not just a changelog.

Happy New Year, all.
For those who've watched IBH come back from the dead and finally start to live up to its potential - thank you. And to those who just arrived, welcome to the ride! It's a great joy to watch this game and its community grow, and your support means the world to me. It's like a shot in the arm every time I read it. Thank you.
Here's to 2025! Big things in your lives, big things in mine. Here, hopefully we'll get to look back on all of 2024 and High Crescyt as li...

The seaside section of the Crescyt-Spaceport trium, the setting of the Great Siege that reduced the city and its legendary lighthouse to ruins only decades prior, the fading link to distant shores that will never recover its lost glory;
DYLERSHAVEN, the main star of the v0.3 series of updates (with plenty of forests and monestaries and tiny rail towns and masoleums aside...)
Next update is planned to be v0.2.6/7? about the rail to the sea, and then ...

Imperium Bureaucracy Hero v0.2.5alpha2 is available.
ALPHA WARNINGS:
- It's ready! This is the first version of the update that isn't knowingly broken in some way. Variables, content, all of it. It's even got a bit of polish.
- The longer and more torturous than normal alpha process means it comes thoroughly stress-tested.
- Edge cases of bad grammar and bugs/crashes may still exist within unusual facet combinations.
- Sever...

A brief update on the update at the end of this month, and some new generic portraits. They can come attached to important side characters, but you'll also probably see them pop up all over High Crescyt and beyond for one-off dialogues and people you only meet in passing.
v0.2.5 is almost done but turned out to be longer and more complicated than I intended - if you've been around here for long, that's a familiar sentence. I've been hobbling my way through a success...

A brief update on the update and all the new portraits in case you're not in the Discord, where I regularly post previews and new content:
v0.2.5 is almost done but turned out to be longer and more complicated than I intended - if you've been around here for long, that's a familiar sentence. I've been hobbling my way through a succession of health issues this November; been on painkillers most of the time, currently feeling like I'm being strangled via GERD. Still w...

Worked on this a couple weeks ago. I am, as stated, a monkey slapping keys in Atom and I finally figured out how to make the UI not default-as-fuck. The menu is now vaguely theme-appropriate, the menus are all gothic-ky and default names are white, not green. I'll be poking away at the game's UI and general appearance as the updates roll on. A marathon not a sprint kind of deal.
Big thanks to @maroder#7487 on discord (and Patreon) for pointing out that the default puke-green Ren'P...

On the 8-5 grind, still squeaking out an hour or two of work on the game most every day. If your auditor is an Apparatchik, get ready to learn every detail about the rank of 'Yefreytor' right after this - and also the sergeant's peaked cap?
I looked that up. Mori sure now knows a lot more about peaked caps than he ever thought he would. There's military rigid round ones and octagonal soft-cover ones that are more for police and...
Also the default character name color is whi...

Hello! I ought to remember more often - patreon is not discord. Updates on discord are, in fact, completely unseen here. So! Update on progress and the state-of-the-game.
The update wasn't out "by the 24th or 25th", unfortunately. I am working on it - but it simply wasn't done. So, I have suspended billing for April. You didn't get charged today. I work full-time IRL, which is a blessing and a curse - that sucks up free time and energy, but I'm also not hurting...

First off - thank you. For a first-time dev releasing a v0.1, this kind of support was beyond any reasonable expectation. So thank you. All the compliments, reviews, discussion of the game, (and the money) is like electricity getting pumped directly into my creative batteries, as they were.
Now we're looking at the future. What can you expect in the next update - and indeed, what is the template for updates? What's the plan - is there a plan? Is Mori just flying by the...

More content-filled posts from the #scribblings channel on the discord will be reposted here to Patreon periodically. Musings on future plotlines, concept art (like above), and so on.

Discussions with patrons (read: mutually nerding out over lore) have spawned some tech-priest character designs. A shy, reclusive data-entry specialist and her sister, a more tomboyish getting-my-hands-dirty 'proper' mechanic. Very divergent personalities reflect...

Can't believe it's finished, and very glad to be done. If this bombs hard, I'll still be glad I put it out there. Hopefully someone enjoyed it. Expect an update within a month-ish, depending on if I get any patrons at all - closer to two months if this remains a starving hobby.
Thank you for reading! Fingers crossed.
Changelog
v0.1 - 2022-02-22
- Initial demo release
- 3 h-scenes
- Approximately 1 hour of content
