PATRON RELEASE v0.5.6!
🕑 Added 2020-05-31 12:59:14 +0000 UTCThe weekly update has been released!
This update is available to ALL Patrons, with the public build being released in a few days.
This week it's the next stage of the Eldritch main storyline, plus a new mechanic (which I'm REALLY hoping will work on Android). Also a repeatable mini-event with Jessica, a shortcut to Gramps' dojo and a silly little secret that I couldn't resist including. Hope you enjoy! :)
CHANGELOG:
- Main Story: New Event! (Follow the ELDRITCH Lead!)
- Power: New Power! ("Endless Air")
- System: A new mechanic I'm trying, related to the Nexus "Keys". You type the "key" into the textbox and if you get a hit, you get an event! This might suck for Android users, so if you have any issues getting it to work, let me know!
- Jessica: New mini-event! Visit the bathroom on Sunday morning (50% chance)
- Gramps: New Nexus shortcut! (Try typing "think about Gramps") in the new "Use a Key" section of the Nexus
- Secret: A silly little fourth-wall-breaking Easter Egg, accessed via a particular Nexus Key. Not gonna tell you what it is, though! Have to find it on your own ;)
- Bug: Typo fix
I hope you enjoy this week's update! Next Patron update will be next Sunday, 7th of June.

What's Discord server
Well maybe some nice person here will give you a hint. Maybe this comment is, in itself, a hint as to who you should be thinking about! ;) Failing that, the Key phrase has been leaked in the Discord server so you can go there for the answer :)
Rick Ulrich
it's to bad that I can't figure it out. I was never great at puzzles anyway :(
Glad you liked it! It's very, very silly but I couldn't resist ;)
Frank Fernandez
that was actually not a bad Easter egg well played
Glad you liked it, and phew! Seems like it's working fine for all Android users so far, so that helps put my mind at ease, thanks :)
Funny Easter. Everything works fine on Android side.
It really, really isn't. Pixie knows me too well ;)
The Easter Egg phrase? That one's a secret, sorry! But a few people have figured it out, so maybe they'll be nice and tell you (it was already revealed by players on the Discord, too) :)
I believe in you! (Also, it's very dumb, so you're not really missing anything ;) )

Your sense of humour isn't..... Great....
Mraz Pendragon
Can you tell us the key phrases, please?
Damn I can't get the easter egg how many times I try
Haha, glad you liked it! It's very dumb, but I couldn't resist :)
You can do it! I believe in you!
Ambrosius
the easter egg made me laugh lol. well done arc
God I'm terrible at guessing things ;-;
Haha, thanks. It's VERY dumb, but I had fun making it.
The key phrases so far are either single words or "think about ____". Not really sure how to simplify them without just getting users to grunt into their microphones ;) I'll certainly add a "Remember past Keys" option to the Nexus for anyone who wants to revisit old worlds, though. Maybe make a dedicated UI for it, not sure, I'll give it some thought. I try to keep the Gallery as clutter-free as possible (plus a lot of the repeatable events are full of variable checks which is a pest to manage in replays), but if it becomes something players start asking for en masse I'll see about adding the repeatable events. Glad you enjoyed the update :)

Nice easter egg
Ditto
Maybe consider shortening the Nexus Key Phrases to more simpler Key Words. Oh and when you get around to updating the new location maybe throw a reminder that "whistle" is a thing since the location wasn't added to the Nexus Teleport Menu (which you know lazy people, like myself, would like that for convenience lol). Would be nice if the random events got added to the Gallery after the player finds them. All these random events are getting hard to keep track of especially which ones were already seen, what's missing, and simply replaying the event on command instead of rng shenanigans. In any event nice update. Looking forward to finding out who the new girl is.
Haha, well I'm glad it's working for you! I was starting to get nervous that I'd have to rip out the entire mechanic ;P
Ahhhhhhh ok, cause i been typing in Key the whole time but whistle did work
No, it's guaranteed. The Key Term for the quest is: whistle No speech marks, punctuation, spaces, or anything like that.
Im typing the term key but nothing is happening, is it a chance??
It should do, yes. It works on the two Android devices I tried, plus the emulator. It's the same as typing your name in at the beginning of the game - if you could do that fine, then you can do this fine too :)
Type key into text box? Does this work for android users as well?
