One day... one fateful day we'll unlock the cute af bunny option. I yearn for it so much!

I would also love to see it become reality, but unfortunately you've only hit half of the requirements so far for it... and the other half the player-base has a terrible track record with, haha~

You still have the other 2 cosmetic unlocks, still, and both of them are very close to being unlocked should the right rogue player submit specific things to be fed. I'm certain that will tide you through until you unlock the bunny option.

guys don't forget the cat option is a carnivore.. as in only meat. Sundae and Cheese aren't meat products..

I think people got too excited and in the absence of the blog, had forgotten the cat does indeed have a more strict diet...

Although- the cheese was sent before the cat was selected, but after Nightshade had died, so I kept it as per the rule.

Shock/mod if we're creative enough, or like through polls, could we maybe do prompts like "No food that would make x character ill for 3 asks" or things similar? Im curious as to how much control you're willing to let us have that extends farther than a single askbabout feeing or medicating a character (this is excluding like, the character creation bits. I hope i worded this well.

It is a good idea, I'll agree.

Actually, because of how quickly they have been dying due to rogue asks, I was considering doing a democracy element every now and then for the sake of progress. As much as it could be fun for everyone to have everything happen naturally, I think a solo play through of the game would be better suited for that kind of thing. With this being a group effort, having a group participation poll like those would better fit.

I wasn't sure on how to implement it, however. I could easily do a simple poll as you've suggested, but the idea of a shop has been on my mind since I heard a suggestion for it. But I do have to consider weighing my options, here, as something like that could be a lot of fun but a lot to manage, and thus make things a bit slower to go through on my end.

But, in regards to polls and player control, I have an idea for character number 10 to celebrate going through 10 of them already. It might not have the same impact now as it would have had a few characters ago, but I might swap up the concept should I do it again in the future.

is it ever possible to bring someone out of low mental stability?

Yes. You just need to feed them normal food 5 times in a row, the same as illness if you don't give them medicine.

Hey why did the plush behind cardamon change?

They seem to change randomly. I have an idea as to what it means, but I don't care enough to run any tests or ask the characters anything. It doesn't seem to affect the game-play at all, so it was never a concern.

You could try asking them, though, if you wanted.

Hey Shock, what sorts of limits have you found for what we can give to the characters? We saw earlier that they can be given items from other video games, although that time was unfortunately while the character was already dead. Made me wonder if they could be given something like a mythological food or an anime power-up. Guess I should just start trying things out and see what happens!

I suppose you can. I don't know if it'd actually apply any effects from the source material it's referencing, however. I never tried it much, as I know that much was never intended (seeing as it only became possible when the game started to do things on its own) so I don't typically play that way.

so mod, after that power outage, you'd said "WE had a power outage due to a storm". while the "we" could have just been referring to your neighborhood or something like that, it still made me curious about something. can i ask if you live with anyone? if so, did/do they also play Tabe4?

I was mostly referring to the neighbourhood. I don't really talk about my personal life online, I hope you understand.

Why don’t they just… not do what we tell them? Why not just leave the room and go to another one? This is a house, right? There’s gotta be a fridge somewhere. They can eat something else, right?

Sorry for being unable to answer this yesterday, we had a power outage due to a storm.

But I figured this one was important enough to answer now, rather than next modday. Sure, they're in a "house", but I don't think anything exists outside what we can see. The game was never programmed to have anything else, so why would it exist? Characters can go off-screen, but I've never seen one leave and come back with anything that existed outside what we can see.

As for why they don't ignore commands, they die if they don't.

I suppose you could ask one of them if there's anything outside their room, but...

I think only two of them will entertain you, now, and I would take what either of them say with a grain of salt.
