Hi folks,

I've released another update for the game and this is pretty big. Here's what changed:

• Added support for Linux

• Rewrote the whole path finding to make it more performant and easier to understand. No more lag-spikes when attacking or moving around

• Update to Unity version 6

• Fixed an issue where you couldn't swap weapons during the final encounter

• Fixed an issue where you could swap weapons around freely even though you already used them. (this was not intentional)

• Fixed an issue where you could move at double speed in the hospital mini-game

• Fixed several typos and other text issues

• Mirrored fist icon in inventory to fit with combat screen

• A ton of additional other small fixes you'll probably won't even notice

Cheers,

Tim

Hi everyone,

with great pleasure I announce that my newest game "Cantaloupe Chronicle" is now available on Steam for Windows and Linux.

In Cantaloupe Chronicle, you step into the shoes of a budding journalist on your first day as an intern at the towns quirky newspaper, The Cantaloupe Chronicle. Set in a cozy roadside town filled with intrigue, this game invites you to explore a rich, atmospheric environment. Interact with eccentric locals, solve puzzles, and uncover stories that will shape your career as a reporter.

The story centers on an old mystery, but the theme explores how not every story ends cleanly and how we learn to live without closure.

What begins as a simple learning experience quickly turns into a quest to uncover the secrets of the town's pastincluding the mysterious case of a body found years ago.

As you collect items, talk to the townsfolk, and solve engaging puzzles, youll craft articles using an innovative text editor system. Writing doesnt feel daunting hereyou can unlock text blocks from your investigations and insert them into articles with ease. From small-town gossip to the big front-page story, every article brings them closer to the ultimate truth.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi everyone, just released a new update with several bug-fixes: -The cursor should not vanish in combat -General issues with combat and combat completion -Fixed a bug where you could press buttons multiple times during screen transition -Fixed an issue with ant and player spawning on smaller maps And I also added another cheat: -Type "IDDQD" during combat to become invincible, have unlimited ammo and 100% hit chance.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce a new update... and it's a rather big one. :) New features: -Completely reworked how you select weapons during combat to be much less confusing -Recreated all random combat areas.

Hello everyone, I've just released a new update for the game with some nice QoL features:

• If you send one of your party members to recruit others and there's already a person available to recruit you will now get notified and get a marker on the map where you have to go.
• When you press 'escape' during combat you can now flee the fight. This is only possible of no ants are in visible range and you won't get any town alertness.
• When you stash a weapon during combat that you don't have any ammunition for you will now always get the fist as an active weapon. Thus the empty weapon doesn't block the weapon slot anymore.
• Several smaller bug-fixes

Hello everyone, I'm happy to tell you that the game is now "playable" on the Steam Deck. You should encounter no problems while playing through the game. (Note: the game is not completely optimized for controller play and the best experience is still to play with mouse and keyboard.) Other changes: -Added notification animation on closed upper menu to make new notifications more visible -Small improvements in combat controls and edge-casses -Minor bug-fixes Cheers, Tim

Normally I wouldn't ask for reviews, but the game sits so close to getting its store page rating. This rating is extremely important for any player that visits the page and the Steam algorithm. So if you've played the game and haven't left a review yet, that would mean a lot to me. (positive and negative) Thank you for your support, Tim
