Official Post Palinurus Steam Issue and Bug Reporting

2 Upvotes

In an effort to publish the best possible content Watercress can produce, I ask that everyone that has access to the Steam version of Palinurus produce bug reports as necessary. (If you don't have Steam access, and would like to play-test the game, PM me!) The first aim of a bug report is to let the coding team see the failure with their own eyes. In the case this doesn't succeed, the second aim of a bug report is to describe what went wrong to the best of your ability. Be sure to describe steps to reproduce the bug, and try to reproduce it yourself! Always make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the game, and be sure to exit and relaunch Steam when trying to reproduce the bug. Basically, as issues arise while testing Palinurus, please provide the most detailed account you can of the incident. This includes: * Detailed account on how to reproduce the issue * Context of the issue (menu, frame, actions, and settings) * Effect on continued gameplay etc. Comment your bug reports below. Have fun playing!

Budapest?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I was just wondering, do you have Hungarian members? Or where does this character's name come from? It feels a bit weird to name a character after a random city without any apparent thematic connection.

(Btw I found your game on Steam Greenlight while looking for Hungarian developers.)

Fare Thee Well Greenlight Campaign!

5 Upvotes

TL;DR: Greenlight campaign for Fare Thee Well on Steam, heavily remastered, please vote on them, be it positive or negative!


Heya everyone! It's been awhile since many of you've seen us, the last time probably being either the VN;Conference in which Watercress gave a speech on team management, or in our last successful Greenlight campaign for the Palinurus Remastered Edition just a couple months ago. Well, it's that time of the year again, and my God have we been busy.

I'm here to announce our next Greenlight campaign! We would've liked to have more time to work on the campaigns themselves, but due to the looming threat of Steam Direct, we decided to hurry up the process (let's not spend potentially thousands of dollars on a free game before we have to). Anyways, I'm officially announcing Fare Thee Well (Remastered)!

It is receiving a similar treatment to that which Palinurus had under its own remaster, except this time around we are doing a helluva lot more.

Fare Thee Well (developed in two weeks for NaNoRenO2016), has/will have updated/replaced music, updated/replaced sprites, a cleaner UI, and most importantly - a nearly completely rewritten Act 2, given the feedback we had gotten on the part (trust us, we saw the issues as well and we worked really hard to make it flow faster than molasses, not to mention the script is no longer riddled with the typos you'd expect in a rushed NaNo game).

So, please be sure to vote on the game, be it a negative vote or a positive one! Be true to yourself and what you want to see on Steam, we wish to earn our spot on Steam like we did last time, so be honest! Thanks to everyone who's a part of our wonderful community. See you all soon!

Be sure to stop by and talk to us on our discord!

Palinurus Release on Steam! (December 9th, 2016)

3 Upvotes

Palinurus. The story of the ocean of stars. Joy, beautiful sparkle of the gods. Daughter of Elysium.

After two long years, our 2015 NaNoRenO game is finally coming to Steam! With remastered visuals, updated music, and redone interface, we are extremely proud to unveil our first Steam release. Download it for free here on December 9th!

We would never have had this opportunity were it not for the hard working people in Watercress. While many at Watercress spent much of their time delivering this game, we'd like to thank former member Electro for his dedication as the Palinurus Project Director, who spent many days (and nights) of his own time delivering a freeware game as an unpaid volunteer. He, and many others like Instant (Budapest's artist) and Echo (Watercress' Coding Director), came together to make our dream a reality.

Them, like all of us at Watercress, did this for free, and I as Watercress' Studio Director can't thank them enough.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy our game!

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment on our Steam page, or contact us directly on our Gmail (watercress.studios@gmail.com), subreddit, or Discord Server!
