&lt;p&gt;All of our games on itch.io and Steam are on sale until Thursday, March 21! Both sites are holding their spring sales, and it's a great time to pick up or gift any of our games. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://itch.io/s/119646/spring-sale-2024"&gt;Most of our games are 50% off on itch.io&lt;/a&gt; for the duration. "The Majesty of Colors" is &lt;a href="https://itch.io/s/119647/spring-sale-2024"&gt;10% off (meaning it's only $1.79)&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;em&gt;Ossuary&lt;/em&gt; and "The Majesty of Colors" come with Steam keys when purchased on itch.io.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As soon as we first started making a sequel to &lt;a href="https://futureproofgames.itch.io/exploit"&gt;Gregory's old Flash game &lt;em&gt;Exploit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, we were discussing what we wanted to change about the game's nodes. As the core of the puzzles, they are the building blocks for what's possible in the game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the end, we settled on relatively few changes. The mostly-superfluous Directory node from the first game was replaced with the Flipflop, which allowed for changes in puzzles' state that didn't wear off over time (and eliminated the need for the "antiblocker" added to Exploit in a post-release update). That was the state of the game in 2014 when we welcomed our first players.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By September 22, 2023, "(I Fell in Love With) The Majesty of Colors" will no longer be available for purchase in the Apple App Store. People who have already downloaded "The Majesty of Colors" will not lose the game, and if you restore your device from an iCloud/iTunes backup, you can redownload it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're sad to see it go! Unfortunately, Apple has a policy that is forcing us to push an update (even an update containing no changes) just to keep "The Majesty of Colors" in the store. As we wrote back in 2022 when we &lt;a href="https://futureproofgames.com/blog/2021/08/17/mac-support-ending-2022/"&gt;ended Mac support&lt;/a&gt;, we don't use Macs ourselves and don't have easy or free access to them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You've probably heard about some of the shenanigans going on at Twitter. The big thing that affects us here at Future Proof Games is that they've shifted their support for developers using their authentication API: communicating less and arbitrarily cutting off access.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're updating &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://fpgam.es/3LswYHl"&gt;Exploit: Zero Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to hopefully comply with the new access rules that they announced with very short notice. We're pretty sure that Twitter login will continue working past April 29, the date they've said they'll shut down some older ways to interact with their systems.&lt;/p&gt;
