Repo

• GitLab: fizzypaste/heavy-debts on Ken's self hosted GitLab (tailnet only, reachable once you are on Tailscale)
• Why self hosted: GitHub and GitLab.com remove adult content when they find it. Ken confirmed this Mar 20.
• Access: Kenta (owner), FizzNSFW (maintainer), heavydebtsgame (maintainer). Koby has no account yet.
• Default branch: main. Issues, milestones, wiki: all enabled, all empty.

Prototypes

Milking minigame (Fizz, Mar 3) built in Construct 3. File milking_proto.c3p is in #game-prototypes. Open it at https://editor.construct.net then Open.

Chopping minigame (Fizz, Mar 30) choppingminigame.ase in #temporary-archive, art only.

Sync

sync.bat in the repo root is a one liner for Windows. Ken has tried twice to get the team on Tailscale (Mar 20, Mar 30). Not done. That is the blocker for everyone reaching GitLab.

To do

• [ ] GitLab account for Koby
• [ ] Get Paste and Fizz on Tailscale so they can actually push
• [ ] Import every .aseprite from Discord into the repo under art/
• [ ] Turn the trailer shot list into GitLab issues
