Hey mods, Two reports from a Wave 6 / Endless session, both fixed. Fixed Stapley quit in a loop. His Wave 6 resignation came back every 30 seconds no matter what you answered, and Endless got one every half minute for the whole shift. He now quits once per run. Answer him and it
If you play on a Mac and the game kept asking for microphone access, this is the fix. The game never records anything. macOS was reading the way the audio engine opens headphones and USB interfaces as a mic request, and it asked again on every launch because the app was unsigned.
Hey mods, Another maintenance patch. Nothing here adds content. Every item is the game doing what it already claimed to do, plus two things it should have claimed. If you hit anything that still feels off, the discussion board is the fastest way to reach me. Thanks for reading th
I did not expect this many of you. Permaban is a game about reading a forum in 2007, made mostly by one person, and I went into launch week hoping a handful of people would find it. Instead the reviews, the discussion threads and the emails kept coming, from moderators who said i
It's 2007 and you're the unpaid mod of a dying forum. Every ban needs a rule behind it, and the people you punish come back to argue. Inspired by Papers, Please, minus the clock. Launch price is $4.99, 55% off until September 18. A campaign runs about 40-60 minutes, longer if you
Permaban leaves Coming Soon on Tuesday, September 8 , at 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern / 17:00 UTC. $4.99, with 25% off for the first ten days. It's 2007 and you're the unpaid mod of a dying forum. Every post is a judgment call, every ban needs a rule behind it, and the people you
New Ban Appeals. The people you banned come back to argue. After Wave 2 the shift does not start until you clear a queue of three cases: the post you banned, quoted with the rule you cited, and their side underneath. Two buttons, no tools. Sometimes they are right. The plea never
Your first shift ends. You click through to the second one. The board does not load. General Error / Could not connect to the database. Debug mode is on, because of course it is. Line 118, db/mysql4.php. Then NSM Messenger blinks. It's the Head Admin. The database server fell ove
Shop items now do what they say All four consumables (2x Points, Rep Shield, Mountain Dood, Borton AV) were being cleared the moment you left the shop, before the first post of the wave you bought them for. Spam Filter was sold as PERMANENT and its only effect was a one-time bump
Added WinBlows Picture & Fax Viewer. A .bmp used to open in Microshaft Pant, which is not where Winblows XD opened one. Now it opens in the viewer, and Pant is where you go to draw on it. Previous and Next walk every picture in the folder, arrow keys too, and your own saved d
Hello, fellow moderators. The media player on the desktop was a prop with a chiptune behind it. It is a media player. Six tracks stream as real MP3s, and the filename the LCD scrolls is the actual file. When one ends it advances to the next, like a playlist should. The seek bar i
Here is what the last stretch of work went into. A real desktop version. Permaban started as a browser game. It now also runs as a proper application on Windows, Mac and Linux, with achievements, Cloud saves, and a friends list that will announce which wave you are stuck on. Inte
Hey everyone , thanks for the wishlist. Quick update: the Steam build is still cooking, but the browser version went live on itch today, so you can play Permaban right now while you wait. Play Permaban free on itch.io What it is, in case you forgot A forum moderator simulator set
