Jesus fucking christ Arcane what are you doing to me

Initial impressions of Gallica are that she's way less annoying that Morgana was in Persona 5. Hopefully she won't end up telling me to go to bed every five fucking minutes.

Oh, we actually get Persona's? Metaphor Refantazio is straight-up fantasy Persona? I am hilariously down for this, chums. It's like Atlus concentrated thier formula to appeal to me specifically.

WHY ARE ALL THE ELVES ESSEX LADS THIS IS SUPERB

Five minutes into Metaphor: Refantazio and there's an elf with a cockney accent. I massively approve.

HEY FRIENDS! Just out of curiousity... Would anyone on here be interested in playtesting a visual novel demo at some point in the next week or two? If so, DM me your email address for more info. :) (Now a shameless cat picture to get your attention.)

Just playtested my VN demo from start to finish without encountering any crashes or obvious bugs. Very happy right now. :)

Project update! - Demo script is 100% complete - Art is 90% complete, mostly just fussing over minor details - Handful of soundtrack loops are currently being reviewed - All puzzles are working correctly - A branching narrative path has been implemented and is working correctly

More bakeries should leave their pain au chocolats resting too close to the bacon tray. Trust me, it works.

Spent a whole day working out why a character animation could be skipped, leaving them off screen. And then England won the football so fuck all that, YAAAAAAAAYYYY!

Project update! - Visual novel script is finished for the demo - Art assets are roughly 90% done - Puzzles are complete and working (yay!) - Scenes are being slowly pulled together Stay tuned for desperate pleas for playtesters in the next couple of weeks. :)

My Chinese missus asked me to point out that a guy on Talksport has a tattoo in Chinese of his ex-wife's name, and apparently it's shit.

Is it a sign of how much work I've done this week that I briefly forgot the word 'I'm' is capitalised, and had to Google it to check?

Tools like ChatGPT are a godsend for idiots like me, who possess a miniscule understanding of writing code. Just the opportunity to ask it endless dumb questions without the tool growing impatient, bored or frustrated with me is so useful.

5,600 words written for the week. That'll do, pig.

Caught a snap of my better half enjoying the Northern Lights last night.
