-0.002
Confidence 50%
Confidence is the share of Velocity’s four components that could be measured for this game, scaled down again when there is less than a fortnight to measure over. Here, comments and ratings had a measurable acceleration on 2026-10-17. Topic views did not. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 14 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.
Lead and lag
The rungs are moving together.
By the average day in this window, comments had taken 50% of their change and ratings 49%. Neither is far enough ahead to read as leading.
Each line is scaled to its own change across these 30 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below.
Series — over Sep 18 to Oct 17
- Comments — people are talking8,825 to 9,131up +306
- Ratings — people finished and cared10,925 to 11,361up +436
- Topic views are not recorded for this game, so that rung is unmeasured — not zero.

Last devlog 2026-07-14 — 95 days ago. That was already the most recent devlog when we started watching on 2026-08-20, so there is no cadence to read from it yet. The platform publishes only the most recent devlog date, so this is a floor rather than the project’s history.
