Added a little ad on the menu to lead players to the sequel. Made it easily to obliterate, because I don't like ads.
Updates and fixes for Jingle BEL/S! - Added a button called "Refresh Steam Achievements" in OS and Jingle BEL/S. - Fixed an error in Decker's Dream and let you speed mode through it. - You no longer get stuck on giving Pyreworm the marigold when you haven't danced. - You now automatically get glitter during speed mode. - The Best Dream achievements now triggers. - FIXED TYPOS! The refresh button is for anyone who is having trouble with the in-game achievements syncing up with the steam achievements. If you click it, it will check all your achievements and try to make sure you have them on steam as well. If you're having that problem and this doesn't fix it for you, please let me know!
It turns out I'm not allowed to release games on Steam on the weekend. So I'll have to release it on Monday instead. Sorry for the change up!
I'm releasing Jingle BEL/S on the 15th, this Saturday. I just put out a minor update to Open Sorcery in anticipation of releasing Jingle BEL/S. More save slots. Also, updated the backend, so maybe that will help with the Windows 7 problems? Finger crossed.
HOLY MOSES but my life has been a bit of nonsense lately. Okay. I'm married. I moved to another state. I have steady freelance work to support myself. And I finished Jingle BEL/S. I'm so close to having a stable life again, I can taste it. I'm not sure when Jingle BEL/S is releasing. Thematically it should be December, but that's too soon and all the big boys are doing their things and I'd get buried in the Steam store. And I made it as an apology for not making the April release of Sea++, so maybe April? But I don't know if I can bear to sit on it that long. I'm bad at marketing guys. I'm supposed to have been promoting it for a year at this point. Oh well. Here's a list of all the achievements currently in game to give you a sense of it: ---- Jingle BEL/S Achievements Smashing Christmas Cheer Learn about Marley and Grinchy. Baruch Atah Adonai Light the menorah every night. I Am Here To Revive Save all the spirits from the Hollow. We Are Here To Protect Fully protect your network from the Hollow. Mini Me Revive the Angel of Death with a gift that it decides to keep. Cuddle Puddle Give everyone a hug for Christmas. Good Presents Give everyone good or better presents. Perfect Presents Give everyone their best present. Gilding the Lily Make someone's perfect present EVEN BETTER. Hint: Show the pocket watch to Macabe. Foreshadowing Unlocked Give everyone their best present and reach Dreaming 100. Dreamed of Decker Complete Decker's dream. Dreamed of Janet Complete Janet's dream. Dreamed of Sarah Complete Sarah's dream. Dreamed of Pyreworm Complete Pyreworm's dream. The Best Dream Complete Mrs. Best's dream. Hotmail Mail yourself something from a dream. Binary Evocator Leery of Stairs Make it to the Cafeteria in Sarah's dream. Irritate Smokey Encounter and upset Smokey the Bear in Pyreworm's dream. i have no mouth and i'm actually pretty chill about it Build yourself without a mouth in Decker's dream. Open The Closet Find Janet's father in her dream. Sweet Dreams Get help with your nightmares. Expert Dreamer Reached 100 Dreaming.
Finished the first day of Jingle BEL/S. It's really lovely to come back to old friends and continue their stories. The game is shaping up to be simpler than OS on a macro level, which is the intent, but also kind of annoys me, since I really LIKED the branching narrative/puzzle structure of OS. BEL/S has been around for a while at this point and isn't developing as dramatically that she incorporates different elements and spikes in power on a day-to-day basis. So there aren't different paths based on how she develops. There are a few different paths developing based on simple decision making. And, of course, what presents she finds.
Just finished putting the final polish on Sea++ before putting it to sleep for a little while. Now working on some original Open Sorcery DLC. It's gonna be called: Jingle BEL/S BEL/S has been aware for a year, and is about to experience her first holiday season. It's a game about magic, technology, and presents.
Hey everyone! I was looking over this page and realized I hadn't made a formal announcement about it here. I'm currently working on developing the sequel to Open Sorcery. It's called Open Sorcery: Sea++. It takes place in another place in this universe, and while the story doesn't directly feature BEL/S, the events are related. It's going to be MUCH larger. It's already twice as large as OS and I'm only one third done with development. I'm planning to release it next year, around April. Here's its steam page. I'll post development updates there. :)

Hey everyone. So there's a bug affecting Open Sorcery, and a number of games that run on NW.js. There's an argument called "--in-process-gpu" that I have to set for the Steam overlay to work. Unfortunately, "--in-process-gpu" causes NW.js applications (like Open Sorcery) to crash in certain configurations of Windows 7. Much to my frustration, there's pretty much nothing I can do about this. Even if NW.js fixes it, I'm stuck using an old version of their software for compatibility reasons. If you're playing on Windows 7 and encounter this issue, I have added a new branch called no_overlay. It's the entire game with the normal configuration, only the Windows64 bit version has no Steam Overlay. You SHOULD be able to use that with everything but the overlay working as normal. I'll post again if this situation changes. Much Love and Frustration, Abigail
