Happy Friday, peeps! We've stopped doing our [url=https://weatherfactory.biz/category/production/]fortnightly sprint updates[/url] (please tell us in the comments if you'd like us to start doing them again), but we have lots of irons in the fire and I thought it's high time for me to give you an update. So here's what's coming up in the next chapter of [i]Weather Factory: Still Not Doing the Visual Novel We Made Up In 2018[/i].

[Now I'm doing a patch a week. In the first two weeks I pushed a patch a day. - AK] All while also developing a second game on top and agonising which doublet to wear in Witcher 3. His [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/718670?emclan=103582791460919250&emgid=3093416865954046500]latest update[/url] was Tuesday: read for experimental multi-select and snippet-saving! He's now working on improvements to the new card placement system, which has a few weirdnesses and bugs, and is by far the most annoying thing still going wrong in the live game. We'll update ASAP when that's ready to go out.

But lots of people still want one, I'm delighted to say. How to square this circle? BY MAKING YER MUM DO IT FOR YOU! (But, paying her a decent wage to do so, so she can buy tulip bulbs and wine, her two major expenses.) So we're releasing another 1,000 Lady Afterwards: Boxed Edition boxes for sale on [b]Tuesday 31st May 2022[/b] on our [url=https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/weatherfactory]Etsy shop[/url]. Like we did with the original runs of the [url=https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/774143958/tarot-of-the-hours-a-78-card-tarocchi]Tarot of the Hours[/url], we'll release these boxes in tranches of 50-100 so my mother doesn't totally lose the plot. This means if you go to our shop and don't see any boxes available, don't worry! We'll restock every week - if you miss out one time, there'll be another batch of boxes available very soon. Hopefully this'll allow our teeny studio to provide boxes for everyone who wants one, without us having to stop doing all the other work we're doing on actual games and becoming a physical-first TRPG store. Woot.
