• VERSION 1.3333333333333 - 2 July 2025

  Yes, General Horse got some love during the pride month and here are the results!If you ever thought the food drain was ruining your favorite game, now you can get a lot more food in some places. Also, you get a bit more oil on Holas Holas to make the planet worth visiting for something other than achievements.Bugs FixedThe main screen showed the wrong amount of food at the beginning of the game. It is fixed now, AND the amount of starting food has increased to lull noobs into false sense of security.Does this mean the game is easy now?Lol no, we still kept dying during playtest. It's easier but not easy. If you don't know a few tricks (such as going right at the first planet only after exhausting both other options), you're still gonna have a challenge and the same old callous RNG.I want to play the old merciless game, you killed my game now!You can still find it in the properties unde…

• OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS - 8 December 2020

  Achievements work again I reverted to old Chromium and old Greenworks from the ancient summer of 2020. You can get achievements again. I hope they don't break anytime soon because I'm running low on achievements to get when I need to test this out. You can no longer meet yourself twice, I hope Thank you Khitosan for discovering the bug and also Darkshoxx for suggesting the change in case I failed to fix it. I don't know why this happens, but I changed up a number or two, maybe it helps. Maybe not. If it didn't, it is now cannon that you are the other version of you and can meet yourself again. You can no longer give food to the antiquarian if you don't have 5 food Not a big bug. Technically, you would just give him less food and have 0 food in the end. If you're worried if the key is still completely useless, don't worry, it still is. Save&Quit to main menu rather than shut down the gam…

• Version 1.21 - 7 December 2020

  New version number! Some of the more discerning players have noticed that I forgot to change the version number in the lower-left corner of the introductory poster. Worry no more, it is change now. Nobody will be left wondering if it's the newer or older version. All your problems are gone now. Your life is finally good and so is ours. And god bless us everyone. Trader bug fixed Trader from another universe had a weird bug where you could give one more fuel than you had and be left with -1 fuel. As this kind of abuse makes the game too easy to win, it is now fixed. We are still discussing an in-game explanation why you are no longer able to have negative amounts of fuel in that particular instance. You will be posted if we ever come up with anything. Four pirates and the dog fixed If you communicated with the pirates and shot them with the laser afterwards, a wrong scene would occur som…

• Big sale and update 1.2 - 5 October 2020

  I could write far and wide about the update, but I think this trailer explains everything better than real words ever could. Yes, it's a new random encounter. While other encounters might be a bit banal and expected, this one is highly artistic and introspective. But you have to see it to believe it. The chance of it appearing is something like 1:30something/40something, depending on which encounters are unlocked, and that depends on many factors of your gameplay. This game is a finely tuned machine built to give you the tightest and highly balanced performance, with great care around your story's continuity, so the encounter chance can't really be explained that easily. Yes, we're on a huge surprise sale! Now is the perfect time for everyone to buy the game. It's great for movie parties, twitch streams with friends and, of course, playing alone in a cold embrace of a gaming bedroom. Ta…

• The Linux Update - 6 July 2020

  If you're curious what happened and what was fixed... eh... The exported game turned all the media file references to lowercase, and a lot of videos had uppercase characters. It's not a problem in Windows, but Unix systems like to have more characters at their disposal and chaos was born. Every file with uppercase characters was just ignored. Just doing a shell command to rename everything to lowercase did not do anything because Steam also ignores uppercase, so it just told me they're all the same files and refused to rename any of them :( Guess what I did for the last five days (besides sleeping and hiking and drinking too much tea and lazying about and hating myself). Yes, I renamed hundreds of files, both in the code and the directory. I made them all lowercase and also added a character at the end of each offending file, so Steam would finally make the extreme effort of changing th…

• A few silly bugs - 28 June 2020

  Buffed the amount of potential food on planet Broccoli 998, just a bit to push you further in the final act of the game. Tiny alien Bruno (from your alien egg) is no longer invisible while on helm. Meditation on Bipolaria would not cure your disease, if you had one. Heh, oops. All good now. General Horse's member may or may not be slightly bigger in this update. Pay close attention and let us know if you see the difference.
