So, about two months after a motherboard failure took out my main dev system, I finally was able to boot the drive from the dev system on a new computer. Bunch of BIOS drama. Anyway, should be able to make an update soon. #TheDittyOfCarmeana

I have an update to #TheDittyOfCarmeana, but I haven't been able to do it for two weeks because of computer issues. Even has a crash fix.

Tampered Evidence LLC (that is, just me) starting on a new project. Need help in a few areas. Want to see if my followers would be interested, before I post it to some exploitative freelance website. Details on the dev blog, https://t.co/VbZ3NwPtj8

It makes absolutely no difference to the gameplay, but you can now get more items in the pots. https://t.co/mYPcfi9zPB #TheDittyOfCarmeana

There was a character in Zelda Skyward Sword who had an old-timey girl's name (Beatrice), but they replaced the voiced consonant it began with with the corresponding unvoiced consonant (P).

For my parody of that character in #TheDittyOfCarmeana, I did the same thing. I go deep.

Useless Trivia for #TheDittyOfCarmeana. There are 25 fictional corporations mentioned in the game by name, though for 5 of them it's unclear if it's the name of the business or a brand. Five are non-profits. Four are corporate peerages.

I am reading a novel where one of the characters goes off on long pointless philosophical rants. Now I know how you all feel.

I've reached an important milestone: got my first crash reports on the new update! Fix coming in a few days, along with the usual batch of typo corrections, and a new feature specifically for streamers. #TheDittyOfCarmeana

[Carl Banks @TamperedEv]

New major content update for #TheDittyOfCarmeana. One of those "never to be completed" Future DLC areas has been completed. Now I just wait for new crash reports to roll in.

While working on the new side quest, I spent like an hour putting a rugby pitch into the world, for no reason at all.

Yesterday, early in the New Year, #TheDittyOfCarmeana hit a notable sales milestone. A very big thank you to everyone who bought it, I am so honored that you all are willing to part with a few dollars to play my silly game.🙇🙏

Completely superfluous part of new side quest that I decided to work on instead of the actual, highly complex side quest itself. But at least one more building that was locked in the game now unlocked. #TheDittyOfCarmeana

Fun fact about #TheDittyOfCarmeana: Somewhere in the source code, there is a function called "instagarnish".
