Serflord April 1st ARG!
« on: April 01, 2023, 05:42:43 AM »

Put the sound files into "Cogmind/data/audio/" and rename it to game.x MAKE SURE TO NOT DELETE THE OLD game.x

Beta 12
Seed: DispersionFusionClaw
game.x sounds: https://files.catbox.moe/z8lhhv.x_serflord

Beta 14
Seed: FlightTrackerGuard
game.x sounds: https://files.catbox.moe/19gxi9.x_beta_14_serflord

Here's your plot hook:
Imprinter has imprisoned the soul of the Data Chimer. You must release Data Chimer and then follow the story given to you in order to win.
You know you will win when someone in particular tells you "cogmind gaming" during the end sequence of the game.

This seems awesome, thanks for putting together... a different ARG--now I'm curious about how it's done, although even without explanation or testing yet I think I have some clues based on what you'd been working on in the past ;)

I didn't see it advertised on most Cogmind communities though so I wonder how many people have tried it out yet! Maybe should've dropped a notice on r/Cogmind and Steam forums etc for more exposure, unless you were mainly targeting just the Discord community. Also directly mentioning it in some Discord channels rather than just pinging, which I think was what you tried?

Could take a little while for people to pick it up in that case.

I played the Serflord ARG and so can you!


It was so much fun: I laughed, I cried, I even sneezed once


Play this, you won't regret it :)

Hey Luigi, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing! I imagine I'll have to try this later, but I might want to stream it and still can't do that after my injury, so I guess I should wait for now...

I saw you had streamed it with the community, and that at least one other player has been enjoying it as well. Good to see it finally getting some love :D

Fixed dead link, hopefully catbox will keep it around for a long time. You are encouraged to keep your own copy to help prevent this from becoming lost media!

Ah so it still requires Beta 12, eh? Was hoping it was updated or at least compatible with at least 13 so I could stream it with the new UI...

I'm not sure if the seed still works. I'd have to find a new seed for a B13 version.

Oh right, forgot it was seed-based. That would be important.

Thanks to aoemica for checking the previous seed to find it doesn't work and then locating a new seed. I've made an updated version of the soundpack required for the ARG to work.

Awesome! To be honest as I was thinking of what to stream this week Serflord topped the list, but decided against it since I couldn't do it in Beta 14... ended up playtesting a different roguelike instead. Maybe there'll be another opportunity before too long.

Nice, I missed the original version so I should give this a shot.

I'll try it too, after my current run.
Should i turn off score uploading, though?
Since this seems to be a purely audio mod, i wouldn't think so, but just to make sure.

Just an audio-based mod, so uploading should be fine.
