I liked Megu at first too, in the first season. As time went on though, Aqua grew on me. I think the main issue I had with Megu was that she seemed insistent on personally defeating the demon king, while Kazuma and Aqua were perfectly happy to just make money, live it up, and let someone else handle it. Megu kept steering them into the direction of doing needless work, and Kazuma and Aqua's laziness seemed more like something I could agree with.

Then you'd hate me...ask ivo :ROFLMAO:

I always tell him, if you come to play, don't come to win, come to dominate the game entirely.

Its why I keep adding all this insane shit to the VN.

I came to show people whats possible...not be another book on the shelf. But its also his game, more so even...so I concede to that fact or it would be total madness.

I'm like the eminem of coding :LOL: if it can be done i'll try it and make it work.

Not only did I run.out of normal ideas before release...the users playing hit me all they had and those were done in less than a week. I'm half bored now and the game isn't even a quarter done.

I literally would have used the street fighter input test to make them put in something like the Konami code or something to survive ONE scene end game...just to do it.

Pointless for a VN...but it'd piss people off just like it did in games like Destiny of an Emperor and nobody quits that close to the end :LOL:

If I could render i'd add a battle system using it like you see in some VNs...for some real purpose...etc etc.

I may have even did the rhythm based game pete suggested, but it really doesnt fit for our game, and i'm terrible at music...except the harmonica and drums.

I could make those games in another language...entirely, aside from the sheet music in probably a few days, same with a simple fighting game or a strategy game like shining force (that would take longer due to levels)

I should be rich...but I cant draw for shit.

Space shooter...gimme the spaceships, some asteroids and weapon power up icons...no issue.

RPG gimme the sprites, all over it.

Only games I cant do already are pure 3d because i've never dealt with the engines that draw them...and I don't grasp 3 dimensions well in my head.

I've literally needed a dedicated artist my entire life but dont trust many people. I was lit when we started this project...even a VN.

And i've been on fire ever since...not a.single concept anyone brought up has stopped me cold. I made it work...but theres only so much ren'py can do.

I'm not even trying to blow my horn...its more excitement...i've been programming BS my whole life with the skills I learned to do one thing--make games.

Speaking of all that...next release should be really soon, ivo is done...I've gotta add in some minor stuff I couldnt before that...then its off to joel for translation and we're ready for release.

I'm also debating sharing a teaser for the mini game thats practically done before the socials don't get the future dev logs anymore except the subscription sites as a benefit...the one I've been keeping quiet about so far.

Thats up in the air, but the release is coming soon. Hopefully with a full spanish translation included.

Its a hell of a release too, by far the longest with the most additions to date...and we did some back and forth about the script to make sure we had it right.

Ivo's to proper of a writer and i'm too asshole american, but we mix well :LOL:

Well just sometimes running main campaign quest to progress more XD

Btw the last 2 isn't those, it's a little tricky but also not that tricky once now what's happening there.
So I got the second right? Nice.

I barely.got time for our game right now, so i'm gonna have to quit on the guessing games...legal bs and that got me swamped the next day or so.

When things happen in my life its like a thunderbolt from the heavens...then its like a dull pain surviving here until the next time lmao.

Yep, first 2 are correct.

Just hope it's indeed the list.

It doesn't look that bad, it's probably better than the previous 3 bundles.

That's a really good line up if I may say so 🥰

But damn... so many long RPGs in there. I'll never have the time to play them all.
Also, Amnesia: The Bunker gets a big yawn from me. I hate those types of horror games.
