| Cloud save update! | 2023-09-20 | Cloud saving should now work cross-platform! I was able to test Linux and Windows but not Mac... please let me know if it doesn't work or you have issues! |
| v2.0 using Ren'Py 8.0.2 | 2022-09-01 | We've made a few improvements based on user feedback and improvements to Ren'Py! We adjusted credits to be slightly more challenging, improved the money display on the yearly screen to be simpler, fixed a bug where the wrong parenting style was used (thanks to the user who reported it!), and upgraded to Ren'Py 8.0.2. |
| Space to Grow Postmortem | 2021-12-09 | Space to Grow Postmortem We set out in 2014 to make a parenting simulator that also told a novel-length story about a doctor and a farmer trying to raise their family on a new colony in space. We wanted to provide opportunities to test out different ways of parenting and see possible consequences of those decisions, while also telling a compelling sequel to Our Personal Space. Five Things That Worked The Structure ANDREA: I feel like the plot and story of Space to Grow is satisfying, with each "year" (chapter) having an interesting problem or situation and the chapter ending with some kind of resolution. Some things wrap up a little too neatl |
| v1.4 Accessibility, Clickability, and Add-spaces-to-your-name-ability! | 2021-10-14 | Just a quick fix to incorporate the accessibility features of Ren'py 7.4.9 such as high-contrast text options and better text-to-speech. I also made buttons easier to click on, and fixed a bug where it could crash if your custom name had spaces in it. |
| v1.2 Accessibility Improvements | 2021-09-02 | Here's a small update! In addition to the previous fix that fixed a crash in the Bonus screen, we have the following improvements: Added alt text on images for accessibility. ('v' activates self-voicing and will read all text to the player) Fixed typos. Fixed wheat event in NG+ inconsistency. Added option to NOT use NG+ crops. Added link to review game at the end. |
