News and Updates

11 November 2023

Hiya, everyone! Did you miss me~? I hope this November finds you all well, heheheh.
At long last, it's time for another Signal Tower update! Truthfully speaking, an update has been long overdue for quite some time now, but hey, better late than never.
Not that that's deterred the traffic coming here: I cannot BELIEVE I've broken 25k total hits, or that I'm nearing 10k unique hits, at that. I'm deeply flattered, truly~

As you might imagine, I have plenty of news:

  1. THERA 2 is out! Downloads are available on Itch as well as here on Signal Tower.
  2. The final results for VN Cup 2023 have been announced! In particular, I highly recommend Nothing Somewhere, Hopeless Junction (NSFW!), and The Strange Case of Mei Lysel Andi, heheh.
  3. I've launched Signal Tower Broadcasts, a single-user Pleroma instance intended to serve as a blog of sorts.
  4. I've been streaming Remembrance with my friends Tio Tanuki and no one important! You can watch the VODs on YouTube.
  5. I've also started streaming on my own on Twitch occasionally.
  6. As usual, I've uploaded new art, new music, and even some new nonfiction writing.

You'll notice that, rather than being labeled "THERA 2", all of the pages relating to the new release are simply labeled "THERA". Going forward, all of the various THERA installments (plus whatever tangentially relevant extra content or other stuff I decide to throw into the mix) will be combined into a single bundled THERA release package.
That way, everything will be consolidated into one place (and, by extension, one download), thus I'll be able to make as many small chapters and standalone vignettes as I want without any extra work or tedium for you to experience them, my dear readers, heheheh~
Note that this bundle does NOT include Permanence (or Remembrance, for that matter); I'm still undecided as to if or how I want to distribute it together with THERA...

That covers all the highlights for this update. I hope you like it all, heheh.
Of course, I have more things in the works. None of them are quite ready enough to show off yet; they'll have to wait until next time~
Until then, take care, and enjoy the rest of your year!

P.S.: If YouTube ads are giving you trouble and/or a headache, I recommend using Firefox together with uBlock Origin. With the latter, make sure you go into the extension's settings and enable "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" at the absolute least (though your best bet is just to enable every single one of the filters, then also add the OISD Big filter as well for good measure, heheh).

Hello hello, everyone~ It's been a while, hasn't it?
I've been IMMENSELY busy thus far this year, so rather than my old "once a month" update schedule, I've opted instead to bring things up to date here on Signal Tower only when I have something significant to share or report—and you'd better believe I've got some big news, heheheh~

Firstly, I've sponsored the Visual Novel Cup for this year, and will be serving as a judge for the submissions! There's still plenty of time left before the submission deadline, so if you've any interest in making a VN for it, I very strongly encourage you to do so. I've seen to it that the cash prizes are much, much larger this time around, after all~
Secondly, I've released a new album, titled Aimless Adventure! You can stream it on Bandcamp or listen to the tracks on the Sounds and Music page.
Lastly, I've uploaded over 20 new art pieces to the Hall of Images, including some traditional paintings!

Outside of some minor cleanup across the site, that's all I have to report for this update. I hope it was worth the wait, heheh.
Until next time, take care~
