Open Sorcery: Jingle BEL/S

A game about technology, magic, and presents.

It's been one year since the events of Open Sorcery and BEL/S is experiencing her first holiday season as a sapient AI.

Barter with disgruntled elves.

Incinerate deadly holiday cards.

Protect your network.

Dream.

And get presents for all your friends.

Jingle BEL/S is available as DLC for the original game on Steam.

Jingle BEL/S Release Date: December 15th

I'm releasing Jingle BEL/S on the 15th, this Saturday.

I just put out a minor update to Open Sorcery in anticipation of releasing Jingle BEL/S.

More save slots.

Also, updated the backend, so maybe that will help with the Windows 7 problems?

Finger crossed.

Release Dates Are Hard

HOLY MOSES but my life has been a bit of nonsense lately.

Okay. I'm married. I moved to another state. I have steady freelance work to support myself. And I finished Jingle BEL/S.

I'm so close to having a stable life again, I can taste it.

I am trying to figure out when to release Jingle BEL/S.

Thematically it should be December, but that's so soon and all the big boys are doing their things and I'd get buried in the Steam store. And I made it as an apology for not making the April release of Sea++, so maybe April? But I don't know if I can bear to sit on it that long.

I'm bad at marketing guys. I'm supposed to have been promoting it for a year at this point. Oh well. I'll decide soon.

Here's a list of all the achievements currently in game to give you a sense of it:
