That's actually really helpful. Tell your dad thanks for me!

Nothing cool like dark lights in Obra Dinn, just standard direct light casting. I think there was a period in the 2010's when some games used small dark lights for fake ambient shadows on characters. Not casting afaik though.

Thank you! I tried to set up a slightly ungated endgame where it was the player's choice to struggle through filling out the entire book. Less blame for me :)

Sure, as long as the mod doesn't contain any copyrighted stuff or imply that it's official/supported. Thanks for asking. How does the game feel in VR with this? Was always suspecting that a gently rocking boat is asking for trouble in VR and everything would need a rework.

Uh oh. Thanks for letting me know. Fart probs are top priority. Do you remember how this happened or if it's reproducible? Had a poke around the code and mess.lua:1943 is just the comment "-- too much dirt". So biting and topical, no choice but to crash.

Incredible work! A+ full marks. Especially love the directed graph of deaths. I had the game outputting something similar during development for debugging.

Check out this amazing pencil-drawn animation for Obra Dinn by Nora McIntyre @noradora.bsky.social . Recaps the game brilliantly in 3rd person. Beautifully done, thank you Nora!

Layers, this one has. I'm assuming the album scam came first, then it trickled down to the wiki.

Yeah I guess it's a TuneCore + Spotify specific scam. Thanks for checking.

Now that’s weird because I’ve also talked to TuneCore support and they’ve pitched this as a Spotify problem. Thanks for the info, I’ll drag it up with them again.

I didn’t write “Gosling Drives” and I have no idea who did. Why is it listed on my Spotify artist page you ask? Great question. If anyone knows what kind of scam this is, or why Spotify won’t remove it after multiple requests, I’m all ears.

It will take some serious effort to stay awake under those conditions. The soft music, droning voice. No chance.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:
