Hey, cheers, Milkman. Thanks for the note.

Just a couple suggestions for when you play this. I’d avoid the hot dogs (except from Logan, if you really want them). Don’t bother lookin for blueberries or nutmeg. Sometimes the cash register gets stuck if you’re really fast to hit the keychain with your mouse; you’ll see what I mean. The trick is to wait until it’s done swinging, and then click. Sorry about this and other bugs.

Otherwise, hey, best of luck in cartful living.

Hey, sure.

Sorry it’s still got the same glitches. Fixed them in a new version, but that’s probably not being released.

Thanks for the note. I made this version on a slow computer too!

Cheers, R

haha wow

I’m sorry, but this isn’t everything. Still, I’m impressed. I chose against compiling Type Dreams with encryption for just this reason.

First thing: some of these texts don’t belong and were never “implemented” for players; they’re just remnants of experiments (ie lazymuthafucka, Royal Aristocrat, the LCS tidbit, and others). I never got (or sought!) permission from their original authors and of course I’d never consider them to be part of this game except incidentally or residually. Just my view. Honestly, I should’ve removed them before uploading, but I knew they’d be unreachable outside of datamining / decompiling / reverse-engineering. And why not leave something anomalous in there for just such an occasion?

bartterpstra’s list above shows most or damn-nearly everything that’s playable in the “Libary”. (There are only a few missing from this list. One called “POWER” comes to mind. I think you can get it by typing very slowly. “Shestov’s Challenge” is another, available after completing “Numbers” in <1 minute.)

Certain books (such as “SOME DAY WE WILL DIE” as mentioned in the list above) will only appear when players “Race”. Other racing-specific texts which aren’t accessible in the current version [v0.923 (the “Instability Edition”)] relate to a small typing contest for which a few friends synched simultaneous streams of Type Dreams (“The Royal Rum Bowl”). Minnie won, btw.

Most of the excised, sidelined, or unimplemented material in Type Dreams is either in “Story” or “Road” which of course are (conventionally?) inaccessible. These were attempts to depict the events of Mary Orr (aka Mae E. Orr) and Frank McGurrin (aka Frank E. McGurrin)’s type-writing contests in the 1890s and some other typing races from history. Just experiments and drafts, though. Nothing feasibly playable, I’m afraid.

I must also point out that these last ones, “Letter to a Casanova” and “Octopuses” were written by E. Cameron Larios to whom I am grateful for guidance and support. However, we couldn’t reach the same agreement as the other contributors with whom I split this game’s earnings 50/50. I really admire both poems and have always wanted to share them thru type dreams, but they shouldn’t be included in the compiled build, even if only accessible thru hex-edits. Sorry, Cam.

Thanks to both of you, Nicknicolau and bartterpstra, for sharing these thoughts. I’m struggling to articulate my feelings here haha but it really means something to me that you both explored so much of this. I remember bart’s posts from way back when type dreams was first new to itchio and how they’ve helped shaped what’s still there, now. Would love to see either of your “Stats” screens haha — does Nick’s WPM line slope upward over all 300??? Seriously, thanks for singing out, here.

Cheers!

It’s on two computers. One I destroyed by hand (and boot). The other is offline, thousands of miles out of my reach.

I just picked the closest license from the itchio drop-down list since there’s not an option for custom (un)licensure on this service. Thank you for bringing it up; I really hadn’t given it appropriate attention. I’ve updated the license on this page, which might itself be a violation.

The last time I released an open-source project, it caused a ton of grief in the lives of others who thought they could just pick it up and sell it (ie: on mac, consoles, etc), but the source code actually sucks. In the case of type dreams it would be a nightmare worse by magnitudes; not worth anybody’s time, I promise.

✌️

It’s looking pretty dark though haha.

Thanks, Goobs.

Howdy! The hot dogs are only functional for Logan, the emancipated 4th (un)playable character. Sorry for the confusion.

Vinny’s in-game notebook is probably your best guide for preparing bagels, although the extras it mentions (like blueberries, garlic, etc) weren’t added in this version.

Cheers!
