Maintenance release: v1.2 is out now


Whoah! It's an update? That's right: I've finally found the time to push some fixes for bugs that have been reported over the last year or so. Also, there is no "AI art" in this version of the game.

Read on to find out more.


[ CHANGED ]

  • The game has been rebuilt in Godot 3.5.1. It no longer relies on weird 3.4.x behaviour and should be reasonably future-proof.
  • All AI-generated assets have been removed. 
    • The joke here was that you're seeing the story from a robot's eyes, see. 
    • Reset Day was made during the brief window just after GANs started to yield fun and weird results, and just before the cryptobros and NFT-pushers invaded and all the content theft happened. 
    • At this point, I'm no longer comfortable with the implications carried by using AI-generated art. so it's gone now.



[ FIXED ]

  • In chapter 2, a line of dialogue was addressed to a character who was not, in fact, present. This resulted from a last-minute rewrite, and was honestly pretty confusing. This has been corrected.
  • A lot of rare glitches, potential softlocks, and fun speedrunning tricks have been patched out. Most critically, you could softlock yourself at Sammy's Sammiches in a way that would also corrupt your savegame beyond repair. There's a way out of the softlock now.
  • It was also possible to softlock the game by approaching the robotics lab from exactly the wrong angle. Easy enough to fix by closing and-restarting the game, but still. This has been fixed as a side-effect of improved navigation.


[ ADDED ]

  • The unnamed fCorp technician now has a portrait. As mysterious as they are, they can be a little less mysterious. 
  • As the AI assets have been removed, there are now new splash pages for the bits in between chapters. They're not as weird and abstract as the old ones, but they're sort of collage-y, so that's fun too.

Love all the replacements for the generated art! It always thought the generated art looked really messy, so this unit is happy to see them replaced.
