12-31-10 January's Item of the Month is available in the Wok of Stars in Somerset.

12-29-10 Snow day! Today and tomorrow.

12-23-10 Ursula's warehouse has been turned into a Mall where players can set up their own shops. Naturally, there's a new page in the manual to give you some useful guidance.

12-20-10 Squeezeballs and Silver Spoons must go the way of paper boys. Now it's time for another year of Wok talismans.

12-19-10 The Twilight Development council is petitioning to turn Ursula's old warehouse space into some sort of flea market or collection of shops. There may be a few days of paperwork and cleanup before the space is ready, though.

12-12-10 It's time for the final showdown with Ursula. Time to show those stuffed animals who's boss!

12-12-10 We had some maintenance earlier. Things seem clear, but if you see any errors or unusual behavior, please let me know.

12-11-10 New chat features! Chat will tell you if someone else sends you a message, buff, or trade request. (This is just notification -- you still have to load a main page to actually receive the buff, or an item from a message.)

12-05-10 Uh-oh! It looks like Ursula's gifts was a front for a villainous attempt to take over the casinos. There's evil animatronic toys to fight, all week long!

12-02-10 Hey, it's a snow day! Just because.

11-30-10 December's Item of the Month is available in the Wok of Stars.

11-23-10 The next "Tea Time with Ryme" will be Tuesday, November 23 at 8:00 p.m. US Mountain time (roughly 1:10 before rollover), for a live Q&A session about the game. Details on the forums.

11-20-10 Some database tweaks today seem to have been many times more successful than I expected. You may hopefully see noticeable improvements, especially right after rollover.

11-19-10 Just in time for the holidays, cute and cuddly giftables in Ursula's shop by the casinos.

11-07-10 Your character sheet now shows your to-hit and dodge ability, plus your offensive and defensive power ratings.

11-07-10 The Ultimate Aviator Goggles and Atmos Spear have been given super jumps along with their Flying ability for mostly narrative reasons.

11-07-10 The Black Market no longer stocks completely redundant overpriced power converters, but now stocks exceptionally overpriced electronic cabling. (Must be that gold-plated stuff.)

11-07-10 Casino quest update. Details on the forums. Contact me if you're in the middle of the quest and seem to be stuck.

11-03-10 Your hero's journal now has a section for personal notes.

10-30-10 Happy Halloween, and happy 3rd anniversary, Twilight! Please join us in costume and candy festivities!

10-28-10 The Boston Stranglers have fooled no-one by delaying their annual disruption by a few days. You've got one day to put them back in jail before the police do it for you.

10-21-10 The Gadgeteer skill 'Supercomputer Skills' is now intrinsic to the class. That skill no longer exists, and will soon be replaced by something else. Also, all computer types can now be created in multiples.

10-20-10 Psions now get to have 1 aura every 6 levels, instead of the 1:8 that other classes get.

10-19-10 Twilight historians should very well know a special event is coming up in a few days. The rest of you should consider yourselves warned.

10-17-10 SQUID player update. Details on the forums.

10-16-10 Elementals and Psions each have a new skill. Details in the manual.

10-06-10 There's a little b-quest available from hints location in Somerset, assuming you're at least halfway through level 3.

10-03-10 I'm doing something unusual and letting players vote for what game addition they'd like to see next. Put your vote in here.

10-02-10 Retcon histories have date stamps displayed now. Also, the Wok has a way for players with no pulls to get to their gold/silver stars to purchase donation items.

09-30-10 (changed on Oct 3rd) New item of the month. It's Scottish, so it's not crap.

09-30-10 (original version) New item of the month, with (insert Scottish joke here).

09-25-10 Retcon! Retcon is here! Twilight has gone beyond beta, and into uh, gamma, or something. To get started, talk to Rand about your next quest. Time to fight the Mick!

09-25-10 Sugar has received the same treatment as caffeine. No notable exceptions, just a wider range around the average returns.

09-19-10 Some notes about (minor) caffeine consumption changes on the forums.

09-18-10 The next "Tea Time with Ryme" will be Saturday, September 18 at 7:30 p.m. US Mountain time (roughly 1:40 before rollover), for a live Q&A session about the game. Details on the forums.

09-16-10 Another handful of villains have been set wandering, where they will go.

09-07-10 Fun sidekick interface upgrade! You can give different roles different names, to really bring out the personality of your understudy's characters.

08-26-10 We have shirts! (The real-life kind.) More on the forums.

08-22-10 In what is sure to be an unpopular move, most sugar and caffeine now have level requirements for consumption.

08-21-10 A handful of new villains have moved to the city and may cause trouble on occasion.

08-14-10 If you're level 11+ and looking for a new mini quest, I'm not going to give you a hint, but there's someone in Somerset who can. Someone good with hints.

08-02-10 Many more pages in the game will now recognize that you have a pending message and alert you to this fact. (A few still do not for technical reasons, but most do.)

07-31-10 August's majestic Item of the Month is in the wok.

07-31-10 The City of Lost Robots zone is a bit less challenging than before, and computer parts will be a bit easier to come by.

07-21-10: On the heels of all that good stuff ... the jetpack and VHF-1 fighter (and future flying gadgets) require the Passable Pilot skill to operate.

07-21-10: Somerset has a new beginner-friendly zone, which collapses with 2 other easy zones into a subzone once you hit level 3--don't be surprised by the locations shuffling.

Also added: 2 new recipes! 1 new drop in a very old zone! 1 new badge! 1 one-time reward that will help low-level players get some chips.

07-20-10 The next "Tea Time with Ryme" will be Tuesday, July 20 at 8:00 p.m. US Mountain time (roughly 1 hour before rollover), for a live Q&A session about the game. Details on the forums.

07-19-10 If you encounter a wandering villain just as you're changing zones, the game should in most cases update the Last Area Patrolled link to the new location.

07-13-10 One more item in the criminology lab.

06-30-10 Cuttlefish! Let us, dear friends not let us forget our dear friends, the Item of the Month, which is in the Wok of Stars.

06-27-10 New items in Bazooko's Surplus, which have been spliced into some plasteel recipes. Changed some prices (mostly lower) in both stores, too.

06-20-10 Two new items in the criminology lab, courtesy of Gwen Chen and Leyonne MacDuff, respectively.

06-19-10 Changed some back-end things on caffeine and sugar, most of which shouldn't be noticeable. The popup display is a little more forthcoming now about fullness, and the use things page differentiates the two.

05-31-10 N instances of June's Item of the Month are available in the Wok of Stars, for various values of N. (You'll see.)

Also, I've pushed updates for some straggler items: red pen, gem powders, manly man drink, and employee manual.

Thirdly, there's a little /whois update for chat.

05-31-10 Added a retcon information page to the Game Manual, so the curious can be pointed to an authoritative source.
