Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery
@starspawngame.com
Your scholarship is in danger, your friends aren't human, and something ancient awakens in the dreamlands. As reality becomes uncertain, questions of identity and transformation become matters of survival. Just another finals week at Miskatonic U.
Well gosh darn it. The latest ren’py version adds a powerful automated test suite and good OpenGL optimizations, but also breaks the sprite manager class we depend on for the whole top down mode 😔

When my father asked me what cosmic horror was I had to pick a book he'd actually recognize and I blurted out "Moby Dick." I stand by this. See also: this print.

We've been busy working on the script and some top secret UIs, so there hasn't been anything particularly photogenic to share. But here, have a chapter one story beat

Playing with multi-level maps, doesn't make that much sense as a library at the moment but the tileset looks great. Guess I can't do much with the space under the overhang though (we don't have "you can see through walls if you're under them")

Ok question for the #gamedev crew. I think it would be neat to have an indicator by menu choices that shows dialogue tree flows like “this moves you forward” vs “opens a sub-menu of questions” or “exits a sub-menu”. These placeholder emoji are terrible of course. Thoughts? Good/bad idea?

Seems like a nice chill spot to hunker down and finish the game, and not at all like a setting in the game
This Chesapeake treasure is ours for $450K. The lighthouse at the mouth of the Potomac comes with 4BRs, hurricane-rated windows, and more than a little romance. Crab pots convey! #FridayNightZillow www.zillow.com/homedetails/...?

Seven days left 😱 we’re already funded but can we make it to a nice round number?? $20 gets you the game (when it’s done) and a Kickstarter exclusive story collection—and the exclusives only get better from there

Very excited to see the character designs our top backers come up with for some of the big remaining NPCs. We got [spoilers], we got a helpful elder thing, we got a forest witch, we got a deathly ill magical librarian, we got a talkative ghoul,
