Devlog: Version 0.2.9 Update Release Date: August 31, 2025 Overview: In version 0.2.9 we're focused on ease of access and mobile friendly viewing for users without a desktop, or on the go. Updates and Improvements: Page Nav has been updates, removing pages with duplicated or rudimentary information for a faster experience between pages.

0.2.8

June 20, 2025 at 9:45:00 PM

Devlog: Version 0.2.8. Update Release Date: June 20, 2025. Overview: You might've noticed a few changes happening throughout the site. First, header nav has been updated for a clearer, more readable menu. We wanted our first impression to last, so we put a lot of work into our home page with big navigation buttons to take you directly to the most important parts of the site: signing up, reading the graphic novel, or entering HMM. View a list of other citizens; follow and send messages. Right now, we're working tirelessly to update our profile/member pages for more accessibility and better connection. Right now, wix features are very limited. Next, we've added a few interactive features: A name and title generator for new, existing members or guests who want to generate cool names or titles for their OCs. We also added a small mouse-hover interactive, called 'catch the will'o'wisp' (which we will be adding a leaderboard and points to). There is an area for Dev notes, updates, the roadmap and reported issues in the Info and Updates section of the home-page (where you're reading this). This area has all the information you need about the site version and current updates. LFP says thanks for sticking with us!
