- State of Game & Imminent Release Date - 20 September 2021
Hello Lottery-teers, First off, updates: Rent is no longer astronomical. That debtor's prison was all but inevitable was not intended, but the work of an extra, unintended zero (although one might argue that leaving it as it was fits the overall negative critique of class struggles). More articles added (shortly) More images added to end game content Known issues: The game doesn't always transition well to the end game (being sent to prison when you run out of money). If you find yourself still in the apartment with a negative balance, your game was over anyway and you should restart your character. Release Date Set: I plan to release the game on the Ides of October. The game's two main points of interest, a working lottery simulation, and a dystopian newspaper, are fully implemented and have shown to be stable. While I'm not happy about having a known issue on the table (it's like I'm…
- July Update - 23 July 2021
Hi all, The big change since the last update is not with the game client, but with content generation. We're now using an AI text generator to create newspaper articles. The writing gets cleaned up a little by human editing, but it's amazing what a trained generator can do these days (scary really - misinformation has a new tool). The quality of storytelling surprised all of us. We'll still accept writing from the general public, but the lack thereof is no longer an impediment to seeing the newspaper feature reach its potential. Besides that, the latest build may help the client respond better to the player being sent to prison. It needs more testing to determine just how effective it may be in doing so. Kudos to BuddsModernLife for uncovering just how messed up that interaction is/was. In personal news, I've accepted a new teaching job I'm excited about. It doesn't start till this fall…
- Update #9 - 20 June 2021
Hi there! This update took longer than planned to release. There just hasn't been much activity right now to warrant more frequent reporting. We thought we'd be busier responding to user feedback, but there's been low turnout to the public beta. Steam has a feature where they'll make your game available to people who express interest in beta participation in general. I've avoided it to date, thinking if the people don't know us at all we're likely to be shown less of a break for a work that's in development, possibly tanking our reviews before it's really fair to do so. We should definitely try the feature at some point, but at the very least there should be a pool of newspaper articles accessible (there's currently only one). I'll write a small set if I have to, but there's more to try first to get a true crowd sourcing going. For one, posting specific writing prompts like "What would…
- Weekly Update #8 - 3 June 2021
For those of you just joining us, a couple months ago we committed to publishing updates every week or two describing game development status. This is the first time we're using Steam's tools to do so instead of email (crossing my fingers I've chosen the correct tool). New: Store page set live, visible to the public Public beta phase started Changed: Bugs addressed: while not truly fixed, a multi-threading issue is now handled with hot-restarts of a failed internal process. Seems to prevent the crashes that were occurring, and may be handling the issue fast enough that they won't even notice. Store Page / Marketing: -several graphics replaced or modified -75 preview requests sent to game reviewers -public beta announced to a handful of forums Notes: Looking ahead: -Pushing out the companion app, the one that will crowd source article content -Adding additional newspaper content already…
