no signal stream 114:

  • Digitized the notes from San Japan (20240906154815)
  • The next Ushicon is on February 7th-9th 2025.

Maintenance:

  • Update to Godot 4.3
  • Stop music when starting new game
  • You can press button before puzzle
  • WASD breaks after using hint?
  • Need to focus start button on title
  • Popups can stay open somehow? Sometimes the anchor point is wrong when you select an item, not sure how to reproduce.
  • Cannot select pencil or scissors?
  • Cinematic is skipped if you double click?

Placement issues:

  • Clipboard decal is on both sides
  • Scissors in ceiling?

Copy changes:

  • Add comment about clipping There doesn’t seem to be a good place to add this in any of the communication dialogs.
  • Add a comment about elevator/comms card needing to be used on both doors
  • Prank dialog should say access card instead of key
  • Say the access card is for opening a door

Improving game flow:

  • Add screen in comms saying reactor is off
  • Add writer logo/title
  • Split elevator wall and gangway in reactor
  • Add wire to elevator circuit
  • In elev b, say elevator is out of order

Hint System:

  • Don’t show hint immediately
  • Make hint progressively smaller when used for the same hint consecutively
  • Make hint system work for all key items incl Access Cards

Card writer refactor:

  • Remove index column
  • Add vertical hint
  • Update copy accordingly
  • Give an explicit example of overflow, for example: “the digits in 11 are 1 and 1, so…”

Drive Bay refactor:

  • Add symbol to drive light for colorblind players
  • Extend hitbox on external drive day
  • Change encrypted error for logs to be more descriptive
  • Download animation for logs is broken when doing multiple downloads in reverse order

Later:

  • Add brute force option
  • Add a way to take notes?
  • Find ways to encourage more clipping, add geometry showing the bounds of the outside room?
  • Sometimes the anchor point is wrong when you select an item, not sure how to reproduce.
