Thank you to everyone that played 'proceed' and gave me your thoughts on the game! It's been a wild ride.

I was also shocked to find that I scored 37th in Mood! The Manager would like to personally thank you all for appreciating its spooky demeanor.

As for every other category... eh, let's just say I learned a lot. I made a good number of mistakes along the way. :joy:

It's been a blast jamming with the LD community, and I look forward to seeing you all in mid-April for another go-- one that hopefully involves less cancelled projects and torn hairs.

I also want to congratulate @drunkardwolf for a MUCH deserved 35th place Overall and 4th in Mood, not to mention some rather impressive Theme/Graphics/Audio scores to boot. I absolutely loved your game entry. You TOTALLY earned it... I ain't even mad! :joy:

In the meantime, while slightly behind schedule, I still fully intend on the Manager's return in 'precedent' (working title)-- a fully fledged prototype starring a new character in the cryptic Subreal Realm.

Since I'm a big fan of both creepy audio AND teasing things that aren't even nearly close to being ready, here's a little sneak peak of the upcoming Dread Fence zone and the latest n' greatest in creepy failure noises...

I know a good number of you have had your sleep schedules a bit off since this LD, so... for your sake...

(I formally apologize for the sake of any and all hurt by this dad-joke tier humor but claim no liability for damages.)

I've also written a little post-mortem of what the heck happened while I was working on it with a few alternative Manager renders, Sustained Notes concept art, unused sound files, and more, found here:

Okay okay okay, NOW I'm done. See you next year!
