(yes, i somehow got justin mcelroy to voice that trailer. no, i can’t believe it)
I’m proud to officially announce Star Seeker in: the Secret of the Sorcerous Standoff, coming to PC/Mac on Steam and itch.io November 4th!
Good news: magic is real! Bad news: magic is highly illegal. Star Seeker is a wizard and you must solve a wizard crime or else get thrown in wizard jail by wizard– I mean, just regular police.
In this short one-room mystery adventure, collect evidence and use it to clear up the useless detective’s many confusions- and don’t worry about getting it wrong. Every hare-brained idea you can possibly pitch to the detective prompts unique dialogue!
#I’m *very* low on storage space for my WordPress mirror and those GIFs look a bit expensive but fuck it #I’ve enjoyed the author’s other works and this one is shaping up to be pretty neat too #and I know I have quite a few followers who don’t travel in the right circles to have heard about it already #games #Star Seeker #signal boost
{{It was, indeed, on this post that I ran out of media storage on the free plan. Well, I suppose it was about time I compensated Automattic for their services anyway.}}
okay but why is there a Christmas section in early October
is this like Costco where they keep the Christmas-tree aisle up year-round?
Nope, Walmart and Lowe’s have both just put up their Christmas sections already this year. I guess Time broke enough that Halloween has stopped holding the line. :-(
Hang on to your hats, folks, we’re going straight from March to December with *maybe* a short pit stop in August.
(A while back I called this year “strangled in its cradle” [link], and it occurred to me later that it was a particularly evocative/fitting metaphor under the circumstances. 2020: the year deprived of its breath.)

In the afterlife, souls can see how many living people still know you once existed. You, who had lived a fairly normal life, finally saw the count drop to 0 just 200 years after your death. 500 years later, 95% of the Earth’s total population suddenly knows about you.
And they all know I sold really, really shitty copper.
I laughed UNREASONABLY hard over this.
