• January Development Update - 6 January 2026

  Big reveal...There is a back wall! This has actually been in the game since the beginning, but has used placeholders for a very long time. That's why I've never shown it.(You can see that red rectangle on the left is still using a placeholder. Wonder what it could be?)The second image is a look into the vent task.Looks like some screws came loose. Better tighten those up... Hey, wait... Is there something in there?Of course, the back wall is still kinda plain atm, but don't worry. We will make sure it looks nice and pretty in time for your first week on the job!If you want a more in-depth look into development, check out the developer streams here.That's all for now. See you again soon!- Jaxkey

• A Peek Behind the Curtain: Designing the Walkie Talkie UI - 23 April 2025

  In Don’t Forget the Phone, the Walkie Talkie is one of your nightly tasks. Your job? Relay the secret code back to its mysterious sender. But making it look and feel right took some iteration. Let’s break it down: The initial version was all about getting the basic functionality working. This Windows-logo-looking version was a quick mock-up that did its job, but I knew it needed something more in the future.
