Linux Support (Gone)
The Linux version of Winter Winds is non functional, and I have been unable to make it work. Therefore, the Linux version of this game is being taken off the shelf. I apologize greatly for this very unprofessional oversight on my end.Read full article on Community Announcements (Commander Cream)Patch NotesOfficial
Update
Ain't much to talk about, mostly just bug fixes. (Still so many bugs bruh)Read full article on Community Announcements (Commander Cream)Patch NotesOfficial
Final update
Big stuff: - Nothin' Stuff: - Added travellers in the outposts, they are randomized and don't do anything. (They are mainly there for lore logistical information) Small stuff: - Fixed Rain still appearing in lavender outpost. (big oversight on my bad, my bad) - Made it so that Aly sometimes wont like it when you burn things to death - - - - - - * I have added an email address on the store page if you wish to contact me. * - - - - - - - - - - - - Pretty much the final update. There's nothing else I really wanna add, plus I don't really have any motivation to continue developing this game. I think it's turned out pretty decent for a tiny little passion project. I will probably continue to add small, incremental changes and fixes in the future. - - - - - - Also, I should mention that in the previous update notes, I called out someone who left a bad review because their bad review was because I didn't know how to fix a glitch they were having, and didn't really have anything to do with the game. This whole thing is a very unprofessional project, its just me goofing around, I didn't really think about the comment much, the review honestly just really got under my skin. I realize that it was unprofessional of me to do that I have removed the comment from the update notes.Read full article on Community Announcements (Commander Cream)Patch NotesOfficial
Polaris Update
Big stuff: - Nothing really. Stuff: - New manual * It is worse stylistically but it's a way smaller file size and has updated info. - "Coloration" in respect to reconstruction * The protagonist will now regain color to their hair and skin if you don't die or exit the game for one hour. - New library books and some corrections to others. - Some more dialogue options. - Added a quiet lil intro jingle when you start the game. - New cheat code: AAR. This cheat code puts all three companions in your party at the same time. ordinarily you can only have one at a time because balancing. (You can check all current cheat codes in a list in the game files) - Another cheat code: HAT. Gives you a cool hat :D (You can check all current cheat codes in a list in the game files) - Added Hunter's Carcass journals scattered throughout the map. There's 4 of them buried under the snow. If you find all of them you can combine them and sell them for big money. Small stuff: - Burning people with Hellfire lowers Aly's opinion of you (which can effect the ending). - Fixed an oversight that didn't check if you have a companion when you add Rain to your party. - Added Aly's full name to her status tab.Read full article on Community Announcements (Commander Cream)Patch NotesOfficial
