Paid subscribers mean fire under our collective butts for paid content, so our first Patreon post in this vein is about the only other person in the demo besides the player.
The share card for a cempoaloon Patreon post that reads "Character Concept: Lolo".  There's a blurry crayon drawing of said character.

since I posted this I refined it to work even better in ways I truly don't think I should talk about because it will spoil the surprise, but you should back the @cempoaloon.bsky.social patreon to help fund development

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

Today we mapped the first puzzle, wrote gossip text, and figured out a few things about the social workings of Evernight. We also made ourselves tear up. You know, once or twice. ... Or several times.

today at @cempoaloon.bsky.social we: - wrote the first real cutscene in the prologue - implemented dialogue options - added a soft "bedtime" for the player - added a hard "pass tf out time" for the player - added support for changing the player's home address

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

But I get it, sometimes you have to see the thing, to hold it in your hands to have a sense of what it is, so that you know what questions to ask, before you put a piece of yourself into it. So go check out the demo, tell us what you think and what you're curious about. Keep shoveling.

We set the sub tiers to a few different values based on what folks can afford, but all the tiers get access to the same things: weekly updates, stories from Evernight, behind-the-scenes content, and early access to the game as development continues. Every little bit helps.

If you haven't tried the Evernight demo yet you really should. If you haven't followed @cempoaloon.bsky.social yet, you should do that too. If you've heard about what we're up to with this and want to support the work, the best way to do that is with a Patreon sub. www.patreon.com/posts/we-did...

It looks like the game's page on itch has been temporarily flagged as scary - we're working with support to get it back up. In the meantime you CAN click through to download the demo anyway, but ALWAYS be careful of links from people you don't know, even if they're links to store pages on itch.

Yes, the first thing that happens in Evernight is somebody tells you to go shovel the sidewalk and they don't even give you a shovel to do it with because sometimes that's just what happens—but when a friend asks for help you help 'em, even if you're not friends yet, so cempoaloon.itch.io/evernight
