Mild early-game spoilers, but how else am I going to show you the feature I just added in response to player feedback at ?

Dialogue options are now greyed out after the first time you access them.
Will be added to all such multi-option persistent dialogue trees.

Went to the games expo today with one of my children.
We volunteered at the cookie brigade table and my child put a lot of effort into helping!
The show was smaller than something like pax but the community aspect felt much stronger 🥰

Gonna be trying out some creative merchandising at The Game Expo ( Melbourne ) next month. Offering a discount that'll even make some merch free for folks who play the demo and leave feedback. This poster explains how it all works.

Maybe a little ambitious to sell t-shirts for a game that hasn't released yet, but 1) the design isn't too closely tied to the game, so it stands on its own feet and 2) it's already been selling pretty well.

"Buying merch supports... Future Ghost!"

Graphic t-shirt advertised for "$25 with bonus free mini-comic & stickers or figurine".
A ghostly figure of a man with horns and an incredulous look on his face converses in thought bubbles with a middle-aged man with a concerned look on his face and black-and-white two-tone hair:
"$25 for the set, huh? How much is it if I buy just a t-shirt without the 'free' extras?"
"Still $25. But you can get a discount!" (see below)
"Well... alright, then."

A mini-comic & stickers set or figure are advertised for "$5 each".
A young woman with short black hair and glasses converses with the middle-aged man.
"So that's how the 'free bonus' works... $5 each if bought separately, or one for free if you buy a t-shirt!"
"And $5 off one item if you play the demo and fill in the feedback form!"
"...making it $20 for a t-shirt bundle, or one of these for free?"
"Exactly!"

Preparations continue for exhibiting at ( Melbourne)

The clipboard stand is handmade. Just me and my circular saw.

Laptop computer with the game "Future Ghost' running, an Xbox 360 controller plugged into it, sits on a timber tabletop. Next to it is a clipboard with a sheet of paper indicating the game's controls on gamepad, keyboard and mouse. The clipboard stands vertically, held up by a stand fashioned from a wooden block.A clipboard with a sheet of paper indicating the controls for the game 'Future Ghost' on gamepad, keyboard and mouse, held up by a man's left hand. The controls are presented in the form of labelled illustrations of each input device.
