On the Hunt archives
"On the Hunt" is the name of our new series of focused searches for admin-designated topics (user voting is sometimes involved, but it's ultimately the decision of the admin leading that particular search). Each On the Hunt search will last for a few months, or sooner if the media in question is found (or if all leads have been exhausted and search progress has definitively come to a standstill).
If you'd like to join in, please check out the #on-the-hunt channels on our Discord server!

The game's developer, Chris Tang, was identified and contacted, soon thereafter joining the LMW Discord and providing proof in the form of additional images (screenshots/mockups/assets, as seen below). This hunt is more or less complete on our end, though Chris said he would try to find the dev hardware he was making the game on (when he gets the chance to look for it/dig it out of storage, ie. after things go back to normal and it's safe to travel again).
