Hey everyone!


As I mentioned in the very first update published here, I started Pronoia because I want to bring utopias to life. There are many reasons that brought me to this point, but I think the underlying one is that I believe our natural human tendency is to be kind. I do my best to practice what I preach, which is why I am so very proud to let you all know that you can now buy Lost Sunday Comics with Kindness.




Pronoia is now officially a KindePay Merchant, part of a growing movement of merchants who recognise that our businesses rely on the kindness that weaves community together and allows for thriving and for mutual benefit.

The process of buying Lost Sunday Comics with Kindness is simple: do 3 kind things, tell us about it, and then receive your redeemable Steam key via a KindePay Coupon. You can read more about this and follow the process right away on our Pronoia website.




In preparation for the next Lost Sunday Comics update, as well as our Kickstarter campaign for Treasures, Thoughts & Trinkets, the next book we are publishing which will be available in this digital library, we will be back to stream live this Friday, April 1st, at 5:30PM CET/ 11:30AM EST - No Joke! We typically stream on our Facebook page, but this time we are fixing up the broadcasting right here as well. And should all else fail, we publish all our streams on our YouTube channel. Here is what we streamed the last time:



Come join us this Friday and ask us live whatever you want, especially if it is related to Lost Sunday Comics and KindePay!

Cheers :)

大家好呀。

距离发售刚好过了一个周末，很高兴有这么多玩家游玩我的游戏，我也收到了很多的游戏反馈，在此表示感谢。

作为个人开发的第一款游戏，我一直在努力尝试去实现各种我喜欢的功能，却也是因为各种各样的原因，游戏在各个方面的确都暴露出了一定的不足。基于最近收集到的意见建议，我也针对一些会影响到游戏体验、并且目前力所能及的问题做了修复，希望能让大家玩得更加愉快~


以下是这次更新（2022.3.28）的具体内容：

1. 由于游戏地图较为庞大，传送功能显得尤为重要。之前游戏里的“探险家协会”过于隐蔽了，现在增加了更为明显的提示，玩家可以提早前往并解锁传送功能。

2. 增加了青蛙任务，完成后可以打开地图界面随时进行传送。

3. 在地图界面增加了返回存档点的按键，点击后可以直接回到存档点并存档。

4. 之前“进入王城电梯将卸除银鳞胸甲”的提示不够明显，可能会让玩家摸不着头脑。现在增加了更直观的说明，游戏会告诉玩家银鳞胸甲将在进入电梯时被卸除。

5. 在与游戏内BOSS“巨型兔猿”战斗时，出现的随机丢粪便的小兔猿十分影响游戏节奏。现在与巨猿战斗时不再有小兔猿。

6. “失物招领处”的位置太过偏僻，导致玩家要进行重复的跑图。现在的失物招领处可以累计丢失的金币与月魄了，玩家可以在任何时候去取出丢失的所有金币，但会有一定百分比的损失，这个具体的百分比由“月上派信仰值”来控制。

7. 键位设置可能是最困难的一个环节，由于程序搭建的问题，我已经尽力作出修改：现在的跳跃键也可以换键编辑了。

8. 为游戏增加了一个前期的引导——游戏将有一个指向酒馆的箭头。


——以上就是这次游戏更新的大概内容，在抢先体验的过程中，我也将继续尽力解决游戏存在的问题；那些可能暂时没有能力解决的问题，我也会想办法去优化。也欢迎大家加入游戏的QQ群：707263555 反馈任何想法。

再次感谢各位的支持，你们的每一份购买和测评都将帮助我成为更有经验的制作人，并带来更优秀的作品。

希望你玩得愉快！
