This Week in Real Life #6
 9/20/2018
We listened to Paul McCartneys new album. Then we listened to a ton of his older stuff as well. So we'd like to take this moment to say to the man, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Read more » And now for something completely different.
It seems our Internet Server Provider didn't appreciate the funk of forty thousand years which emanated from the netherworld on Day of the Dead and their tech failed us once again this week. This is twice in a short time that our game has crashed as a result of this and we're doing our best to make sure our ISP fulfills their end of the bargain in the future.
Billy-Bob and Bernard spent most of the week so far working on the user interface and content for parties and Jonas cooked a kick ass chili and ate it all himself. Rumor has it the chili was much tastier than the soft boiled egg he buried deep in the game world somewhere this week. We didn't get any work done on the new reconnaissance page for the Great Heist but we still hope to release it within a couple of days.
Enjoy the rest of the week people. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da!

Server outage this morning

It seems we were struck with an Internet connectivity issue at 4 AM CEST, causing the game engines to take a beating. We are working as fast as we can to get them up and running again.

This Week in Real Life #5
9/13/2018
The autumn winds are blowing outside and the sun goes down earlier every day now. This week we've been busy with bookkeeping and the regular development of the game which has has brought with it some things worth mentioning. Read more » The week begun with an adventure down into Halls of the Dead to unearth a bug which had caused the 48 hour survival challenges to malfunction slightly and which offered cunning players a loophole to make survival down there easier.
Later on in the week we also took the time to alter the effects of birthday cards which previously allowed people, around the time of their birthday, to gain a limitless way to boost their mood. But instead of simply nerfing them to the ground we also decided to make them more interesting to use. From now on they are nameable, they have to come from someone else to boost your mood, and each card you use will give you less mood than the previous one until it's pointless to read any more of them.
The week didn't just bring with it tweaks and fixes though. We also added a much needed Game Development Suggestion Forum to the Great Heist and we're already seeing some interesting suggestions pop up in there. We kept working on parties and the new reconnaissance page. And last but not least, anyone interested in playing in the Big Bang in the future will now be able to select which time slot they want for the event!
Enjoy the rest of the week people and don't forget to pick up your Hall Pass on Day of the Dead next week!
