really hope I can sleep this cold off tonight. Would really prefer it if the social leg of my trip in the culture city isn't torpedoed by a stupid runny nose

is the shyness debuff multiplicative or additive? does the timer on it refresh whenever you get bitten? does dispelling the debuff simply remove a stack of shyness or does it get rid of shyness altogether? much to consider

Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

I'm going to be in London (SOHO) from Oct 18-23. I'm going to be mostly working, but I still want to do as much as I can before and after work. Big Question: Any suggestions for dining and sightseeing? I'm a sucker for cute little cafes, nice parks and museums.

it's a decent chunk of work, but would it be possible to have the spikes retract after they do damage, and then pop back up after the timer elapses?
