Hi! Long time no see. Things have been busy on our end, so we haven't had as much time as we would have liked to work on No Crying. But! We're making progress. Everything is coming together, slowly. As per usual, thanks for your continued patience. 

---------------------------------------------------

As you may or may not have seen, the name and info of our itch page has changed up a bit, from being "Benthos Int" to just being "No Crying." Benthos was a name Tiffany and I had decided on for what we'd call ourselves, but it was never really set in stone. While we're still figuring things out on our ends, we've changed the name of the page to just be dedicated to No Crying. This could flop back in the future, but for now that's how it is. 

We've also changed the name of the game! We're now Super No Crying in Baseball. The main reason for this is to separate the game, which we had just called the "full version" before, from the prototype we posted back in April (located here if you haven't seen it). It's also a bit less of a mouthful then tacking on "full version" to the game. We have a logo that we used for Boston Fig, but we'll update the logo to reflect the new name in the next coming days.

Changelog

Gameplay

The current download of the game is the demo from Boston Fig, with a few minor bugfixes. The demo currently has 5 innings, each with a different pitcher that throws a certain set of pitches. There's also been some minor tweaks to some numbers, mainly for the emotion meter and how it accelerates. Unfortunately, I don't have exact numbers on what's been changed (forgot to document it, whoops!), but overall the game feels a bit better. Easier at the start, but the difficulty still ramps up at a pleasant pace. 

Tutorial added! It's basically the same as the one from the prototype. 

Cosmetics

To Do

This section is for stuff to look forward to next update! 

• A pause menu
• Reorganized options menu (probably just moving dad customizations outside of the options menu)
• Reworking a few art assets that were rushed out for Fig (namely the pitcher intro portraits)
• MORE dad customization options! If you have suggestions, feel free to shoot them our way!
