@WiiWareWave Thanks for checking in. I've started shipping out physical rewards (about 300 boxes shipped). Revamped the game and systems based on the early access feedback. Hired a couple people to help me polish up Soul Saga (it's a pretty large world for a small team, so still takes time).

@disastercake Any updates @disastercake?

I'm considering partnering with a lead writer on Soul Saga. The ideal partner would enjoy writing light-hearted, quirky dialogue for cartoony characters and designing individual character story arcs within a predefined world. contact: hello@disastercake.com 🤓🦊

@WiiWareWave I've had some publishers offer to port Soul Saga to Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox consoles. I have to finish the game 100% before that can be considered though. So once early access goes through some more feedback loops with players, I'll know more on console ports.

@disastercake Is a Switch version or PS4 version still happening? We're glad you're still good and that the game's still coming! :D

@WiiWareWave Thank you for checking in. ❤️ I've had my head down working and applying all the feedback players gave me for Soul Saga. Should have good news in the nearish future.

@disastercake I hope @disastercake is okay. I haven't seen the owner post anything or make any updates since early 2020...

@Seijuro2012 Thank you, that means the world to me. ❤️

@RuiCost30105018 @Coolieza Once Soul Saga is 100% finished I'll be doing my best to port it to consoles. 🤓🦊

@Coolieza @disastercake That was one of the early stretch goals that were achieved, so yes.

@ASpaceKitsune private message me on kickstarter =) kickstarter.com/projects/disas…

@hipsprite I'm very grateful for your support! ❤️ I do have Paypal if you feel like paying donating the difference. 🤓🦊 paypal.me/disastercake

@disastercake Can I buy it for full price?

@dipper4tp All of the above. 🤓

@disastercake What would you like in the contact portfolio? Previous published works, specific writing samples, best known knock knock joke? ;)

Soul Saga v20.03.29 is live! 🥳 This update introduces a new on-foot exploration prototype for the Grumplin war camps. Looking forward to feedback! 💕 Changelog: steamcommunity.com/games/251590/p…

@Abi_Benedict I'm in the process of creating an on-boarding document now. There's also a (private) wiki that's essentially the "game bible". Timeline is flexible. If you're interested just shoot me an e-mail at the address above. =)

@disastercake when do you need it? anything you havent revealed about those predefined world "specs" that writer might need to know?

@CaryPalmerr I entrust rule 34 to you, friend. Godspeed.

@empika It would have to be profit sharing. The base game was just recently released in early access. Want to add story to it now. Have some good feedback to know how to move forward, and the game has a large amount of wishlists waiting for it to be officially completed.

@disastercake Paid gig? If so i have some folks i could send your way

This is the technique I'm trying to accomplish. Basically mipmaps cause a bleed effect and have a white outline on objects like leaves. This video is in Photoshop, but wondering if any other program can accomplish this. youtube.com/watch?v=wuouwR…

Any #gamedev able to recommend a texture editing tool that edits alpha channels directly? Need something to fix bleeding in 3D textures (tga) that have alpha clipping shaders. Only one I can find is Photoshop, but a monthly subscription is silly for just one feature. 🧐

Should a video game's patch notes contain every bug that was fixed or only talk about balance adjustments and new features?

🛩️☁️Soul Saga fans have been saying that airship exploration is unique and interesting, but still wanted to dock and run around... 🥾🌳 I listened and added 3D scenes to the capital city, Dunhaven! ...And there's still more to come! 🎮 Play it here: twitter.com/disastercake/s…

@MacsJamTracks Please come to the Discord and share your thoughts on how I could improve: discord.gg/cake

@disastercake Spent around an hour with the game (from GoG). I appreciate that the game isn't 100% (and that tweaks / improvements are coming), but I personally found it excruciating and couldn't take another minute. I think that's enough time to offer insight to prospective players.

Steam should separate reviews under 2 hours. A review with 2+ hours should have more weight than one with 15 minutes. Could call them "First Impressions" rather than incorrectly titling it a real "review". It'd increase the value and accuracy of Steam's averaged review score.

After some time to think about it, I feel like it's been really silly to try and compartmentalized Soul Saga's genre. It's way too sophisticated to just box it into a single category. Especially with all the upcoming features.

Soul Saga has evolved over the years as I created a unique game I sincerely enjoyed playing myself. I believe I succeeded in that goal, but it did stray from its original vision of a "classic JRPG". It's now more of a rogue-lite; and I love it so I will continue it this way. 💕
