News from the Great Swamp! [my peat-filled bathtub...]

[UGERTIO]

I guess, if I ever do place something to be found there, I should disable the save function in the central peat bogs. Otherwise this is going to be much too easy.

I hope that if you add this, we won't need an excessive number of correct answers.
Or even better, in that case, let the save function return us to the beginning (if possible).

Oh wow, it’s been a whole month without any activity here :/

That's just the way it looks on the surface. There's lots of activity in the depths below.

Any chance you could be more specific?

Uhh.... no. Don't feel like it. Instead I give you this:

You look at the quicksand's surface from afar. It is easy enough to spot. Waiting silently and unmoving for a victim far less observant than yourself. You step closer, looking for traces of any recent disturbances to the sand. There appear to be none. But as you keep staring you get the impression that something is moving very slowly underneath its surface. Or maybe it is just your imagination. Something sitting in the back of your mind playing tricks on you. For a moment you consider throwing in a stone, or maybe sticking a branch into the soft sand, just to see if anything unexpected were to happen. But you reconsider and step back. If there really is anything down there in the depths, you have no idea what it might be. Maybe it is wiser to just observe some more and then come back another day to see if anything has changed.

Tell me, is the last post an announcement of a future update? or is it a signal that the update has already been released?

It's not a signal. It's a lack of signal.

Consider it a byproduct of what my PC is rendering right now. The "real" update is yet to come.

I’ve seen today’s post! Was that the real update? Or is there something else you’re cooking in The Great Swamp labs?

That is the real update. It may not seem like a big deal to have sets of random backgrounds that change every day, but consider that in total (for light and dark theme) there are now 600+ images to draw from. Render time alone was several days. And a few more backgrounds will still be added to the pool or replaced, but I'm already happy with most of them.

And... There is always something else being cooked up.

600+ images had to have been a lot of work! I applaud you!
