This year for April Fools, I'm not doing a lazy joke!

March 31 was my quarter deadline for finishing Hapax at "minimum viable product" quality. By fudging that into "some assembly required but still mostly viable" and ignoring 3 extra hours past midnight, I did it!

When will Hapax release? No clue!!! Still a while probably.


The cool thing though is that I implemented a proper ending with credits, and I'd like to include all of your names in the special thanks section. So between now and whenever, please make sure I either have your real name or an alias I should use. I can also maybe include a comment if you have something interesting to say.

I'll also be reaching out to old members as well. I ain't no AAA studio after all.

Congrats and well done!

Just have a ridiculously long credits list with hundreds of fake names.  People will think you're AAA just from that.

I think I'm embracing how personal the game is, while also making credits take a couple minutes.

Thank you for playing.



Credits scroll at the end of the game while the player can still move around, like Death Stranding, so I need them to be long enough to be significant but short enough that I don't lose the player.
