We’re having trouble accepting orders from the UK with our payment processor. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and will let you know why as soon as we find out.

And we’re well past the 100 sold mark for Common Grounds! Hurray! While nothing to brag about, it’s not bad for 2 months and our first release. We weren’t expecting it to be received this well and are continually excited and thankful. Your support means the world to us, we never want to take it for granted.

I’ve been testing some web game stuff, hopefully I’ll have something to show soon. And I’ve been amassing a nice collection of other furry games of the erotic variety that I’d like to showcase and spread the word about. The more the better!

Forum registration should be fixed. Turns out it was me mistyping exceptions to the server’s cache :B

The FAQ has been updated with info about an “error defining external function” in Common Grounds. We’ve heard from 2 people having this problem and it seems to be fairly rare, but very annoying. Please try the demo before buying, just to be on the safe side.

And it’s things like this that really bug us (zing) with the engine. To finish games within a reasonable time-frame, we much prefer licensing engines rather than making them. The extra cost is having to deal with errors that we sometimes have to rely on someone else to fix. Maybe we’re overreacting, but it’s super frustrating. Can see why so few ever give this a go, dang…

Thanks for understanding, and thanks to everyone who has enjoyed the game!

PROBLEM REGISTERING IN FORUMS
There is an issue where some people can not register on the forums. I’ve been able to repduce the error and will see what I can do.

COMMON GROUNDS ERROR: CAN NOT LOAD EXTERNAL FUNCTION
But first, I’m currently researching and fixing a couple of dll errors with Common Grounds. It seems to be a rare issue and sporadic, but I believe I am close to solving it.

DRAG AND DROP ISSUE
There’s another issue where after closing the game, you will lose the ability to drag and drop things in Windows 7. The quick fix is to press the ‘esc’ key while dragging to regain the ability.

I am very sorry if you have experienced any of these problems. Maybe I’m overreacting, but when just one person has an issue, it becomes a big deal to me. I really do appreciate those who let me know.

But I can say for sure that this will be the last time I use this engine for making PC games. I’ve sunk some money into it, and it can do html5 stuff, so I’ll try it once with that and DONE WITH IT! FOREVER!! More info on this later…

If you’re anything like us, you enjoy the occasional laugh at the silly and sometimes perverted things you see. Well, we’ve found a lot of ones involving furry characters, and we have pictures!

Fupoco’s Photo Safari – check it out!

The scary and/or interesting part is just how much of it we’ve found. I’m still in the process of sorting through it all! So don’t feel so alone in liking things like our games. This stuff is everywhere!

A demo is now available for Common Grounds!

Play up to week 3, with 4 bonus ‘special’ scenes already unlocked from the start.

Enjoy~

I will be out of town from March 16-19, so please forgive me if I’m slow to respond to emails.

UPDATE 1: Seems to be as simple as requesting admin privileges. Checking…

UPDATE 2: Also noticed daily visit animations were no longer animating. Fixed.

UPDATE 3: Resent the game to everyone and explained what happened.

What happened…

Except I’m taking it down for a while :X

It should be back up after I run the game one last time to make sure everything is working as it should.

The memory issue I thought I fixed was still there. It wasn’t as bad, but it was still there! UNACCEPTABLE!!! So I went crazy-like-a-fox on the code, pulled an all-nighter, and done. Even improved other things, like changing the program icon to a high-res / multi-sizable one.

I will be sending an email to those who have purchased a copy with the updated 1.3 version.

I can’t thank you enough. There were many times I secretly worried this was all silly and that nobody was that interested. And you proved me wrong. I won’t let you down! More games–let’s do this!!

I’ve read about ‘crunch time’ for game developers. I felt like I’ve been living it for the past year, (off and on,) but it wasn’t until this weekend that I finally witnessed the complete terror of it all.

It goes something like this…

or help! fancybox stalls when loading my images

Sorry for the weird topic. I just want people desperately seeking help to find it.

How I fixed a strange issue with the game’s image gallery…

Finished (for the most part) with what I guess we’ll call version 3 of the site.

Common Ground’s homepage is now online! I uploaded the game’s manual too, which is worth checking out if you’re curious how the game will play.

All that’s left is to announce the official release! Stay tuned…
