STATE OF THE GAME & FEEDBACK
First, thank you all for three really wild and fun months! It’s been a blast to run this little game so far. We can’t wait to see what y’all get up to in the future. To that end, we’re looking to collect a little feedback. If you’d like to weigh in, please use the form below and comment with your thoughts.
We’re trying stuff, throwing things at the wall, and making things up as we go along, and this kind of feedback really helps us in terms of knowing what is fun for y’all and what you’d like this game to look like. We may be your mods, but we’re also Just Two Little Guys™️, and this show is really all for you. We crave feedback like your characters crave knowledge about their real selves.
One thing we’re particularly interested in is game size, so even if you don’t have thoughts for the other questions, feel free to just answer that one!
Thank you everyone! Please post your answers below under the comment header.

And now, the weather
Compared to April, May will be downright balmy. While the heat will still be pretty intense during the day, nights will be cool and breezy and full of the sounds of crickets and birds. Small, fluffy white clouds float on the horizon during the day. The cacti will begin to bloom in a rainbow of wonderful flower colors. It seems that the desert is springing to life. All in all, it's a perfectly beautiful month!
Too bad the pool is broken again.
The desert lights will be particularly active in May. Some nights they’re bright enough to rival the full moon, and they certainly outshine the stars.
