letting us change our name font is the most tempted i've ever been to get discord nitro. big msn vibes.

but i find it very hard to justify $150 a year for that.

Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. ๐Ÿ’ฌ

I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. ๐Ÿงน

Glad they're coming through as readable, that was one of the trickier parts.

Finally got around to migrating all the DevBlogs from cohost (rip).

Added a new section dedicated to them on the Final Profit website. Lots of juicy insights to digest, such as Mrs. Five's origins as a Nintendo Mii.

Any other game devs else having trouble uploading Steam depots today? It's moving slower than a snail.

hmm, there is a bit of a dropoff just after one megalitre, but apart from that the math checks out.

I think the weakest element of Final Profit is its at-a-glance visual appeal. I've been trying to improve on that for Oil Town in a bunch of ways.

The latest are these text-background graphics. Trying to blend both Witchy and Oily vibes.
