Hello! With no Half-Life 3 announcement, the world needs (the) New Gnorp Times more than ever. Today we'll talk about hats, and the current status of the Epilogue Expansion,I hope you are doing well, by the way!HatsAll the hat winners are now live in-game! Here are a few of them:The Mug Gnorp becomes a literal mug at the garden. Also featured are the Rock Gnorp, and the Unfortunate One. When enabled, the Hooded Gnorp appears in certain buildings. And there is also the Anglerfish Zygnorp. This hat, if enabled, appears during prestiges (and endings), and is a little raincloud. Some hats can be combined. This one is Stereoscopic + Bring Your Gnorp To Gnorp Day. These are all the implemented hats, made by you guys:Lei, by PumpkinburgerSnail, by JoyBandana, by Zymosan99Drill, by anonymousDented, by SleepyHead (with idea from Ultrakill Enjoyer)Frog, by KeroRobin Hood, by GoatBunny, by Pecan, and PopgoesGnome, by PopgoesStereoscopic, by FirmamentalityBring Your Gnorp to Gnorp Day, by Caty, MetallicSaladFork, Pumpkinburger, and StingThe Unfortunate One, by MatsanAllseer, by PopgoesDorp, by MetallicSaladForkHooded, by PopgoesAnglerfish, by Borgage, MetallicSaladFork, and DokkefyxenDrone, by MatsanFox, by DoshigeMug, by PecanRaincloud, by DailyNightmares, ThatOneGuy, and PopgoesRock, by MatsanBundle of balloons, by DoshigeThank you to everyone who submitted a hat, and thank you to all the winners who have now left a permanent mark within the game. Epilogue StatusIt's been a while since I last spoke about the progress of Epilogue, so here is the gist of it: Implementation is ongoing. Once that is finished: Lots of testing, polish, localization, more polish, more testing. Full disclosure: I was certain to have finished the Epilogue Expansion by now, and I've been crunching to accomplish exactly that. Alas, I've missed a couple of self-imposed deadlines, and as a result the world remains deprived. Progress is continuing though, and since we last spoke some (many?) things have ch...
It's time for another TNGT. I'm hard at work with the Epilogue Expansion and the end is finally in sight. Today I'm going to talk about buildings in Epilogue.The Epilogue is an upcoming free expansion to (the) Gnorp Apologue in the form a new mode, which will include new talents, buildings, mechanics and a different ending. Names??A feature that has been requested a few times, and that I myself wanted to see, was the ability to have gnorps with names. So I implemented that feature.The Naming Ceremony is held at a new building in Epilogue -- The Party Pad. At the Party Pad, you will be able to host three different parties for the gnorps, each granting a different benefit.One of the open questions with Epilogue was whether or not to remove the shrine. All other buildings are staying, but with the shrine I felt it would be interesting to find a replacement. In the base game, the purpose of the shrine is to unlock the accords through embedding a sword into the rock, but since Epilogue is a sort of continuation of the base game, it didn't sit right with me that you would embed the sword twice.So, the shrine became the Party Pad, and now a few lucky gnorps will be blessed with a name, including, but not limited to Tako, Gnorbius, and Beast. They even move into housing stacks. The Naming Ceremony provides a bonus in the form of free housing, but if you are unhappy with that you can choose to host one of the other two parties, like this one. The current design is that you'll be able to construct the Party Pad quite early, so that you can reap its benefits throughout most of the expansion.As a small little aside, one of the more fun parts about game development is when you hit upon an idea that is too juicy to ignore. You are compelled to put it to life; there is no choice in the matter. That's how the Party Pad came to be. I love the Party Pad. A renewalI mentioned earlier how only the shrine is being replaced when playing Epilogue, but YX1-AB is also subject to removal in ...
