Screenshot from 'To Find an Answer'. Outside a building, eighth sector innkeeper Etne Schenk thanks Ekkehard, for helping her and her friend Thana Sorga with some tasks. They're seen next to a wagon full of goods. She says to Ekkehard:

"Good. Just make sure the jars don't break.
Thank you, Ekkehard."

Gratitude for the help, but even more for the company.

Happy #screenshotsaturday ! Back at this week with some minor improvements. Made it possible to change window skins, animations when using items in menus, and updating the option menu a bit.

Rock Paper Scissors Game Update:

Un-programmer-arted the Item Dispenser! I'll probably improve the animation even more, but this is the basic idea.

I really like this look for the interactables. It's stylish and simple to implement! #indiedev

Want to get the Frog Transfiguration? You gotta kiss the Crystal Tadpole!

The first step to getting the Frog Transfiguration in my game? Kissing the Crystal Tadpole in the Froggy Castle!

Once you transform, you'll also be able to talk to all frogs! (Not all of them speak English...)
