Enjoy this belated Quickmas present! :D

I have a code that I wish to use, but the game doesn't seem to accept them.

That's odd. You can PM it to me and I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

Nothing happens when I paste the code in. I'm sending the code to you now.

:oops: I found the bug that was all too obvious. :oops:

Anyway. An update is on its way. Version 1.1 should arrive soon.

The game turned out great. But I have something to say about the tags. Would it be possible to put the tags in a prominent place, on the main page of the news blog? That way, I could click on a tag and immediately get a list of posts with that tag, instead of having to search for another post with that tag.

Thank you! :)

Yes, I also want to make the tags more visible eventually. Maybe with a tag cloud. It's currently not a priority though. But what I can give you right now is this link which lists all the tags:

She is coming. :o And this is obviously a teaser. That means I should stop talking. I guess. Before I start giving away too much information, and then I end up spoiling everything. But I'm just too excited about this. Anyway, I'll just stop. Like... uh... like right now. ;)

Things are getting a little... unpleasant between Carol and Imara. Maybe Imara IS trouble. ;)

Overall, the innovations are very good. But still, the hint doesn't work very well. For example, I know that I've only found 10 of the 13 secrets. But I don't have a single clue where to look for them. Why not add a hint as soon as you enter the location that says "you found 1/3 of the secrets here"? so that there would be at least hints where to look for them. By the way, I noticed that the save function does not work after automatically translating the page, or downloading it. When I click save and then upload, nothing happens. I understand that it was the auto-translation that broke the save function, and most likely you won't do anything about it, but I can't keep quiet about it. At least just for information about such a problem.

That's because it is not a hint system. It's more of a score / progress meter system. ;)

Some secrets are hard to discover with just the information you find in the Tour itself. I might add some hints for those that otherwise require external info.

I just tried to have the Tour translated by Google Translate for the first time and it broke completely for me. It just threw a bunch of Javascript errors my way without rendering any of the text beyond the heading. Also, it's not meant to be downloaded either. I would not mind, but it's just not going to work because browsers do not allow Javascript to load resources from the local filesystem and the download will be missing almost all of the images.
