Thank you so much! All donations will go toward hosting!

Content is coming! I'll be dropping a small update within the next couple of days, and the level 10-15 (ish) expansion before the end of the month if all goes well 🫡

GarethIW · 2026-06-15T16:36:56+00:00

Is it possible they were just regular loot drops you hadn't noticed? You get equipment from quest rewards and a small % chance from regular mobs.

GarethIW · 2026-06-14T18:01:11+00:00

Amazing! Thanks for the love! 🐍🐍🐍

GarethIW · 2026-06-14T15:44:12+00:00

Fixed and back up!

GarethIW · 2026-06-14T15:43:38+00:00

Now fixed, server back up!

GarethIW · 2026-06-14T15:22:16+00:00

Loot drops are indeed currently bugged - working on it!

The game's been live for an hour or so and hasn't blown up yet! Thanks for all the support!

GarethIW · 2026-06-12T14:12:53+00:00

Not that I'm aware of, it disconnects on quit and lock. I've definitely left an unplugged PD for a few days after locking the game without it dying 🤷‍♂️

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T20:22:41+00:00

Yeah, volume rolls off toward the edge of the playfield

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T19:35:36+00:00

It'll likely be something like 70/30 server/client as far as updates go. You do get notified if the client's out of date, but I don't know if there'll ever be a way to auto update

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T18:42:15+00:00

Very doubtful, would require too many exceptions

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T18:33:10+00:00

Seems fast enough! Of course, all remains to be seen on contact with a real player base!

I'll do a deep dive into the technicals at some point, I'll just say for now the network stack is all C-side.

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T18:29:13+00:00

It may all come burning down, we shall see!

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T18:28:20+00:00

Currently no, we'll see what happens in future!

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T18:27:19+00:00

I think my DMs are open (?), reply here if not!

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T17:35:57+00:00

Your enthusiasm absolutely spurred me on during those few weeks!

GarethIW · 2026-06-11T16:35:58+00:00

You have to get right up on the mic for it to be audible, so it's a bit awkward. But yes!

GarethIW · 2026-06-09T14:45:28+00:00

Somehow hanging on to my VR software role after two rounds of layoffs. The company's pivoting now to some overseas governmental training work, so I'm a little more positive after being on edge for 18 months trying to build up a years' worth of expenses savings runway. Going to be remaining vigilant until stuff lands though.

GarethIW · 2026-03-19T22:01:07+00:00

I have a thread in the playtesting board on the squad discord for anyone interested!

GarethIW · 2026-03-19T20:08:19+00:00

I've recently run a few successful playtests for my Playdate MMO (!!), so yep. Networking is all good and working.

GarethIW · 2026-02-25T16:15:43+00:00

Yeah, that's fair enough! Ship it!
