@Mayana I understand and appreciate that position, but I'm still very interested to listen and at least think about possible approaches/solutions so that that awareness can help inform my future work.

My next game is something that I'm hopeful will be playable by non-sighted players, so I'm keen to learn and discover as much as I can along the way.

@Mayana No need to apologise - enthusiasm is appreciated. Many thanks! :)

@Mayana Nah, just needed to tick the published button on Itch >_<

Thanks for the heads up and the kind words!

#HiveTime v1.1-22 is now live, with some new bee names, new bee facts and some minor fixes. Enjoy! https://cheeseness.itch.io/hive-time/devlog/148602/v10-28-v11-20-v11-21-v11-22-changelogs

@greypilgrim I'm more or less adhering to semantic versioning guidelines already. The problem was that past past me wasn't.

So for all that praise I was giving past me yesterday, it turns out that past past me set up Hive Time's version check infrastructure with the assumption that patches would increment minor version numbers and big updates would increment major version numbers, while past me only used build numbers for patches and figured that major version numbers should only be incremented for compat breaking changes. As a result, 1.0 builds won't display an update notice for yesterday's v1.1 release \o/

I done gone released a big old update for my little bee game. Tell your friends (please)! 🐝 ❤️ 🐝

Something I love about the new #HiveTime trailer is that it features all three of us on kazoos. Mim plays Phil, Tracy, and Amy; I play Jeff Snodgrass; and @KestrelPi performs the Hive News Network chorus for the opening/closing fanfare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8xYmGe8VG0

Past-me has been maintaining a changelog for testers that's separated into changes-since-last-test-build and changes-since-last-public-release. Past-me is a champ.

To celebrate #WorldBeeDay, I'll be releasing a big #HiveTime update and a new trailer later today 🐝🐝🐝 #gamedev #indiedev (for more info on World Bee Day, buzz over here https://worldbeeday.org/ )
