The Lipomancer's Ruins [v1.4 out Now!]

Seriously do you only work on this? You really need a break.

This week, yes. I have a tendency to fully focus on a project until I either finish, run out of steam, or otherwise just plain lose interest.

At this rate it looks like this is going to be a case of the first option, luckily.

Honestly, there just isn’t much else going on rn since I’m not getting that many hours at work these days and am currently low on hobbies aside from trying to learn to program games. Plus, there isn’t all that much to do around where I am in general.

That sounds understandable.

So, pretty big bug I’d say, once you get to the center and try to leave, it gives you a loop of the message and plops you back in the Courtyard. I managed to somehow leave via random event, but, not sure if it’s intentional or not.

Ok, so that was a massive screwup on my part, involving some lazy copy-pasting that I clearly forgot about.

I’ve learned not to download a new version until I’ve finished reading to the bottom of the thread.

Probably a wise choice.

I’m not going to be doing anymore updates or patches tonight (Unless there’s some glaring glitch). But I did do a rough sketch of everyone’s favorite servant of the Lipomancer. I’m not a big fan of how it turned out, but I figured I might as well share it.

Is it to scale? Maybe, maybe not. But probably.

A few touch ups and an actual background would’ve probably been a good idea.

The amount of updates this game gets is insane. If I blinked, I swear the game would be released on Steam with HD 4K 3D graphics and a 170 hour-long campaign, all while my eyes are closed.
No offense intended, I just think your strong work ethic is funny.

Don’t close your eyes for too long. Or else you might open them to see that I’ve turned all of reality into this game.

Fantastic, and, I must again stress, terrifyingly quick work. I’m impressed, and I fear for the safety of this reality should you choose to use your powers for evil rather than good.
Actually, use your powers for evil. A world ruled by Somchu is inevitably full of beautiful and pudgy women.

For some reason, i seem to be unable to leave the ruins after reaching the courtyard, i was only able to leave by escaping the emperor

It just takes a few turns, to escape. You’ll get random encounters while you’re doing it, too. If you keep on pressing the button to leave the ruins, you’ll get back to town soon enough!

"As you are exploring the ruins, you come across a sculpture of what looks like the disembodied paw of a monkey.

There is a plaque below it which reads:

In memory of Scoffles. You should be careful what you wish for.

…What a weird memorial."

I remember the Taco, but I don’t remember this one at all.

Edit: Also, translating the “Under Construstion” text from Latin to English is just gibberish. Something about photography and Theocrastus?

I’ve seen like five statues mate, if I recall correctly, there’s taco, the Snorlax queen one, the monkey paw one you have there, a one about a person finding the endings the least honorable way, and then the coin sock :3

Or rather, finding every ending including the one that requires you to not only “cheat”, but also “lie”

Yes, there are currently 5 statues/sculptures in the Ruins.

That’s sadly only the second unique one I’ve seen. RNG does not favour me, it seems.

It took me a while to find them all, but the last one I found was mine so that was a very pleasant surprise.
