A comm for @tsjonte celebrating his and @stochaztic’s 10 year friendiversary~ aka the behind the scenes of making stream alerts 😏
(happy anniversary you two ❤️)
ALT Chaz and Thomas are on a couch. Chaz is on a laptop and smirking while sighing. Thomas is a goblin and gaming with a wired controller. The TV is lighting them up. They are surrounded by their cats, three for Chaz and one for Thomas. The caption on the top left says “it’s fine.”
Some Broken Picturephone updates: the text field is nicer to use; and in beta-test, you can make books that only end when the players are ready for them to end! Beta-Testers, try it out by moving the "Pages per Book" slider all the way left.
Now live at brokenpicturephone.com
EarthBound Randomizer players, we have an Easter mode where _every_ sprite in the game has been replaced by the amazing spriter Defqon1! Use flag x4 at earthbound.app to try it out. He's also created _dozens_ of custom sprites, including the entire cast of FF6!
I've recently been streaming at twitch.tv/stochaztic , playing Japanese-only SNES Picross games! @MattedWithSatsy has made the first fanart interpretation of our emote Miss Stake, who scolds us whenever we make an error.

It’s time for a new (totally random and not chosen for me :V) Broken Phone animatic, featuring @Proton_Jon and @Stephen_Georg & Friends! Except it’s too big for Twitter, so here’s the first 30 seconds, please watch the rest on Youtube: youtu.be/AgYzOgQW4VU #CronchArt 🎅🦌🎁
People like that word squares game, and everything is more fun with more people, so I made a little something for our friends~ It’s a fun video, check it out!
We're really big fans of #Wordle... but what if it was multiplayer?
A few friends (@insanerainmusic, @JoshJepson, @MasaeAnela, @Proton_Jon, @sab_irene, @Mal_Makes and more!) helped us try it out.

The return of stamps! Custom stamps for your group! - Picturephone July Update patreon.com/posts/return-of-…
Next week, I'll have enough test data from Patrons to release publicly on Twitter how to add your own custom stamps, or the original stamp set, to your game. It's a little technical, but I think it's worth it. One possible use: Having your Twitch / Discord emotes as stamps!

Here's the instructions for using custom emoji like the old stamps in Broken Picturephone: gist.github.com/stochaztic/d…
By the way, a _very_ highly-requested feature is coming to Beta Testers at the start of August, please look forward to it!

EarthBound's original scripting files were lost 25 years ago, when they were deleted off of @CarriedAwayGame's original floppy disk. Or were they?
After a forensic analysis, these files were recovered, revealing brand new secrets about the game.

Thanks to Patreon support, last month a number of small Broken Picturephone improvements have been made. This month, Beta-Tester Patrons can look forward to the most-requested feature: Having lots of pages per book no matter how many players there are!

Three years since Google I/O 2018 and I'm still left puzzled at what this song was. Played over the PA amongst a bunch of normal, recognizable pop music. I ripped this minute-long clip, but all my searching never gave me one clue to this day.

Working on usability improvements for Broken Picturephone this month. Already done: better player list management, and waiting notices tell you what's going on so you're never at a blank screen. Collecting ideas: What tweaks would improve your playing experience? Let me know!
Just in time for the weekend, Broken Picturephone players can now use emoji in their drawings! Create detailed pages easier than ever before than before like in @FrostyFreeze_ 's example image below. Or spam a bunch of 😂's. Your choice.
