EX-09 Extra Booster VERSUS MONSTERS releases June 26th, 2025

With the announcement of EX9, and the information that it'll be focusing on the original v-pet line, let's take a look at their line ups!

We got a little preview of five digimon cards, one for each version. These are almost in order of versions, but Ver.4 and Ver.5 are flipped, since these cards are in the order the individual colors have within the set. Most of you probably know this already, but originally Ultimate (jp. Perfect) i.e. Lv5, was the last level for Digimon to grow into. So these Lv5 Digimon would have been among the last Digimon you get in your original v-pets.

Since the Card Game is probably not gonna release a set leaving out Lv6 or Lv7 Digimon entirely, I whipped up some tables of the original rosters, as well as additions from the Ver.20th or COLOR remakes.

Each Version only has one Baby each, so I think we'll likely get all of these. In fact, with these line ups being rather small, I hope we will see most of these guys in the set! Only counting the originals, we have about 70 Digimon, which easily fits in the usual card limit of EX-Sets.

I also included names in these, since the sprites alone are hard to indetify for those not familiar with them.

First of, Version 1! This one was released in the classic reddish brown and greyish blue bricks, with some more colors released later.

With MetalGreymon (the OG Virus one) confirmed, we are likely going to get Agumon and Greymon. I think MetalGreymon going into BlitzGreymon, like both Ver.20th and COLOR did would be cool! I also think there is no way they can leave out Betamon!

Version 2 is in a funny spot, with many of these Digimon having received cards fairly recently. But then again, that'll still be a couple of sets before EX) releases. Also interestingly, this is the only card not featuring the "best" Lv5 one could have gotten in the v-pet.

Looking at Version 3's line up, while all of these Digimon have appeared in the card Game before, I feel like the haven't gotten a lot of representation. Except for the Sukamon + Etemon Archetype, although I wouldn't mind that getting some cards again.

Now Version 4 surely has a collection of oddballs. This one also had the most inconsistencies between Ver.20th and COLOR, with almost none of the Lv6 and Jogress Digimon being the same. It surely would be cool to get another Bloomlordmon, but aside from Palmon and maybe Piximon there's not much to build synergy with. I guess Ver.2 did have Vegiemon too...

Version 5 has some "bad boys" in its roster. I would love for ExTyrannomon and Gazimon to get another card personally. We just recently had a lot of Tyrannomon support, but that could eaither be build on further, or make them get excluded.

What do you guys think?

Who do you is a must have for the set? Or who do you think might get a stand in?

Spinning frames!

This is a big post that will include all of the warframes and Hex members spinning as a group and separately. If you want to use these as emotes or whatever, go ahead. You have my blessing as long as you provide credit. At the very end of this post will be a write up about this project and what I'll be working on in the future. Read more to see them frames spin!

Project write up

I started this project because I find things spinning funny. I was going to just make Excalibur spin. Then I did the starters, and then I said, "Just do all the frames and Hex." Now here we are nearly a month later with everyone spinning. Style wise I started staring at Earthbound/Mother sprites. I wanted a reference that was the right size (32x32px) and cute. That fit the bill. The biggest challenge that cropped up had to be learning what details to keep and what needed to be simplified. This came up with the Hex and cyte-09 the most. Detail is great, but at this scale little details can add too much noise. For example, I was trying to decide on two straps or three straps for Arthur. Three straps was correct to the character, but caused this banding that I didn't love. I ended up looking at the in-game Arthur floof to help me. Lo and behold, two straps was the answer. My main lesson from this had to be tracking pixel clusters. I haven't done a lot of pixel art animation. And the animations I have done never had the characters rotating to this degree. Keeping track of the pixel clusters was a big deal. Frames of "off" clusters could throw the spin off. Are all of these sprites perfect? No. Haha. Not at all. I did try my best, but perfection isn't a burden I'll carry. I did go back as I gained experience to make corrections to previous sprites. But for now, these are the final versions.

What am I doing next?

Am I going to make more of these spinning frames? Prime versions? Umbra? Future protoframes (if the DE makes more)? What about the other frames? Short answer? No. Long answer. I might make other spinning frames of my favorite warframes, but I'm not going to promise anything. If I make more I make more, but don't expect more. I guess if I do commissions in the future I might include that as an option. But don't go waltzing in asking for me to spin your bubble gum pink rhino prime. Where do I go from here? I have a few more warframe fan art stuff planned. There's this portrait of Qorvex I'd like to do. But from here you'll probably see more original work in addition to fan art. Oh and maybe some writing too! If you read this, Wow. Thanks? I hope these spinning frames brought you as much joy I had in making them. -HouseWasp

Mr. Qi Friendship and Romance Mod: 4/19 Progress Update

It's a working title, I'm trying to come up with something less wordy that still will pop up in Nexus searches.

I wanted to be able to track my progress, mainly for myself, but if you're curious, this is the state of the mod right now:

Writing:

Heart Events - the 2 heart event is fully written (with blocking directions), and the 6, 8, and 10 heart events are outlined. The 4 heart cutscene currently has me a bit stumped; I have ideas, but nothing concrete yet. I definitely now understand why Sam's 4 heart cutscene is him dropping an egg. 14 hearts is on the back-burner as a little treat to myself once I get further into things.

Generic Daily Dialogues - about 1/3 done, probably the highest priority for writing. I'm leaving his vanilla casino dialogue as the two heart dialogue, and the vanilla Walnut Room dialogue as his four heart dialogue, with a few small changes. And, since it's me, I have more marriage dialogue written than anything else...

Day-Specific Dialogues - very few written, lower priority. Hoping to have a lot of these made eventually, and I have plenty of ideas, but they aren't necessary for the core of the mod so they're on the back-burner for now.

Gift Dialogues - all 5 generic gift response dialogues are written, with an additional 22 dialogue lines for specific items/groups of items. I'm also up to around item 530 in figuring out what item corresponds to which dialogue/whether or not he likes it. Certain item groups, like cooked food, still need more lines, however. This is definitely something that should be low priority, but also something I'm really enjoying working on. Some personal favorites so far are-

[if given a fish (hated)]: "Eugh, it's all slimy..."

[if given a legendary fish (disliked)]: "If you must give me one of the rarest fish in the valley, can you at least wrap it so I don't have to touch it with my bare hands?"

And I think that's pretty funny.

Art

Portraits - 3 new portraits finished: "deep frown" "glint" and "glasses-less". I'll probably be messing with "glasses-less" for a looong while; it's first shown at a dramatic moment so it needs to look good. Blushing portraits are next on the docket.

Here's "glint" btw, with a background thrown on so I can have a custom icon. You know I gotta make him do the anime glasses thing a few times.

Sprites - no progress yet. Walk cycle is up next after I finish the blushing portraits. Did you know he doesn't have a walk cycle at all? [1.6 spoilers] in the cheated Summit cutscene where he attacks(?) you, he literally just slides at you very fast. Anyways, I may also change his map sprite a bit as well, since it was drawn to match his old portrait and doesn't actually have the same color scheme as his sprites. Note to self: is it possible to make the sparkles on his outfit prismatic?

Maps - no progress yet. The 6 heart and 10 heart cutscenes both require custom maps, with the 6 heart one being a fully custom asset. 10 heart recycles some existing assets but will still need some custom stuff done as well.

Misc Sprites - in my head, there's a dream version of the 8 heart cutscene that has so, so many unique sprites. Like an incredible amount of stuff. I think it'll kick ass, but also that sequence could be done with a few lines of text. So, for now, it's low priority. But maybe in a few months I'll put out a request for help.

Implementation

Not totally sure how to split this into sections yet, as I'm very much still in the preliminary stages so far. To say that I'm feeling overwhelmed is an understatement; documentation on the wiki swings wildly between "an asset is a file in a video game" and "this is an advanced tutorial. Read these 4 other pages first before continuing."

I've started using Ms. Coriel's NPC Creator which has been good for setting up the basic file structure, but ultimately doesn't cover some of the more complex stuff I want to do. EDIT: Turns out it's completely outdated for 1.6! Had to throw out a bit of work, but I still learned from it so it's fiiine.

I think setting up his "schedule" will be a challenge, in that I don't actually want him to have a real schedule like most NPCs. Not to pull back the curtain too much here, but I want him to "exist" in both the Casino and the Walnut Room simultaneously, which is to say, he does not exist in two places at once in the narrative, just in the code. This will change after marriage, however.

My next goal is to set up placeholder cutscenes for each of the heart events, and then to implement the generic daily dialogues once those are finished.

Final Notes

God, this will be a work in progress for a while, but I'm enjoying it! Definitely enjoying the writing more than anything else, but hey, that's how it be. I've got around 70 lines of dialogue written, a bit of art done, and I've started learning how to actually get stuff in game. I've always been more of a designer than a coder, but it's getting there!

ADDITIONALLY I've decided that if I abandon this project for more than 8 months, anyone is welcome to request my work so far and use it for their own mod. If this blog hasn't posted in a long while, feel free to send me an ask or message! I may say no, however.

Ultimately, I want this mod to exist in some fashion. While there is an existing one, I have a pretty different take on the character and I want to share it with you all! Every line of dialogue, every heart event, every little detail needs to share something interesting about a character and their world. Yet, Mr. Qi is a mysterious guy, and I think some things should be left up to player interpretation. And I think it's crucial to be able to match his tone and voice to the vanilla game, while also expanding on his characterization. It's a fun challenge to write, and I hope the finished product, uh, well I hope it gets finished mostly, but I think it'll be pretty good.

Thanks for reading all this. This is largely just a stream of consciousness for myself, but I hope it's...interesting, or something?

dead boy detectives agency episode two thoughts

why does the cat king serve so much cunt. girl who asked. AND THEN HE TRANSFORMS INTO AN EVEN CUNTIER OUTFIT. WHAT ARE U DOING HERE?? WHO ASKED????

girl why does edwin keep having homosexual flashbacks of the cat king. that's so funny. *gets flirted with by the cat king* hope this doesn't awaken something in me <- edwin rn

idk how i feel about him tbh. like on the one hand it really skeeves me out when someone flirts with a person, registers they're not interested, and keeps pushing anyway, but on the other hand i appreciate the cat king backing off & providing an alternate solution when edwin is clearly uncomfortable with being openly propositioned. he'll still hit on people who Do Not Want to be hit on but he does not coerce sex!! so. yknow. at least there's that?

NIKO MY BELOVED NIKO she's so funny and endearing. i love that she can see the guys now, it seems like she'll be sticking around/part of the gang which i'm very happy for!!! also it seems the pink lights were not in fact lesbianism. sad! oh well the episode was fun and the pixies were done so creatively plus they're funny

crystal putting herself at risk like that.... my girl. i do think what she said to charles about only saying it to trick the sprites wasn't necessarily Untrue in that she was saying it to them For that reason, but i also think it's something she's really feeling. that was too genuine and too quick to have been pulled from nowhere, especially with the context of her earlier conversation with niko. i don't think she really believes that she has nothing and no one, but i think she's afraid she has nothing and no one and that's what she pulled on for that trick.

i noticed something earlier in the episode that made me smile. so edwin was talking about detective work and getting a little smug and bitchy in a fun way, and charles was just watching him with this smile on his face- it made me very happy! they're friends and charles likes when edwin prattles on about something, instead of putting up with him or something stupid. idk i just like their dynamic and how real it feels that they care about each other

also it sure has been established that charles makes impulsive decisions without thinking the consequences through. im sure that's fine and will never come up again 👍

the magic shop was fun! love that this man establishes that he uses to be a walrus and now isn't anymore bc of Backstory and the boys simply cannot gaf. they have shit going on man they don't have time for the kind of backstory lore they probably hear all the time given they run in supernatural circles

esther... what can i say about esther. um she scares me 👍 the scene at the end where it's implied she's dismembering her crow? gross! like well done don't get me wrong the sound design made me deeply uncomfortable, but gross

also she is right that monty has a very cute face. i would not trust that man but he does have the face of a highschool freshman i would give directions to the library or encourage during rehearsal. absolutely diabolical to hinge your evil plan on a face that cute!

what else... i really like the dynamic between the four of them. i think niko is a nice addition to help balance things out so it's not all crystal & edwin sniping at each other while charles tries to mediate- which is fun don't get me wrong and i don't want the bickering to go away, but niko opens up a lot more possibilities and i look forward to seeing how her addition affects the group dynamic. or she stays a minor character they helped out and im wrong about the ending implying she joins the group LOL but we'll see! hope she stays an important character i love her, just maybe with fewer threats to her life please haha

as for a favorite character... it's so hard to pick everyone is delightful especially the main few, but if i Had to narrow it down... charles or niko? UGH but i love crystal and edwin too 😭 girl this is impossible they're all so compelling

i don't think there have been any characters i particularly dislike, actually. the little girl with the jellyfish was a bit off-putting for some reason (something about the way she talked? idk man she just threw me off a little no idea why) and the cat king is on thin fucking ice depending on how he deals with rejection (my aro ass Cannot take people acting like they're entitled to someone's affection. he backed down on the sex thing so he's fine for now but i have my goddamn eyes on him)

OH WAIT CRYSTAL'S DEMON EX. nevermind fuck crystal's demon ex all my homies hate crystal's demon ex. girl imagine getting so upset about being dumped that you Steal Your Ex's Memories. could Not be me that's such a pathetic attempt to stay relevant in her life 😭

ANYWAY im having a good time!! i really enjoy this show haha, im excited to see where it goes from here. charles not having an afterlife assignment bc he never crossed over is really interesting, i'd love to learn more about his & edwin's pasts and how they ended up detective-ing together

Devlog #32 | 06.27.23

Hi everyone!

I'm here! With an Update! This is an exciting one because I am Finally releasing a Full! Game! <3 I will obviously still be talking about Alaris, but I am vibrating with excitement because I can't wait to release intertwine to you all! THE RELEASE DATE APPROACHES

Writing

Because we entered crunch mode for intertwine, this month was mostly focused on continuing to fill out Druk's route and my dissertation.

I didn't make as much progress on Druk's route as I would've liked (I was hoping to FINISH it, but Otojam crunch wrecked my ass). But I do have most of the route finished! At this point, I only have the final chapter to go, so we are Very Close! Druk's route is shaping up to be a really fun one. I like to sprinkle humor into all the routes, but because of Druk's character, there are a lot of funny (at least to me) cast interactions. I hope people enjoy it as much as I do because I have a big fat crush on him now!

Regarding editing, we are just about rounding out the last of Fenir's developmental edits (courtesy of local superhero dev Wudgeous of Herotome) and Kayn's line edits (courtesy of local royalty IF writer Vi of Next in Line). With Fenir's script coming up on the last of the developmental edits, that is basically two routes that are going to be ready for beta-testing after the updated demo, which is very exciting! I am extremely happy with how Fenir's route has turned out after some developmental revisions, and I hope you all like the sweet little (grumpy) baby's route!

Art

Again, most (all) of my attention was on intertwine art assets this month. I was focused on the rest of the GUI, sprite expression, and CGs so that the game will be ready for release at the end of this month!

I'm really happy with how intertwine has come out visually considering the two month time crunch! Many of the playtesters mentioned how they liked the GUI and overall aesthetic of the game, which---for my pea-sized brain that has no object permanence when it comes to compliments---meant the world to me!

Review of intertwine Screenshots (left to right, starting at the top row): Main Menu Screen, Options/Preferences Screen, In-Game Dialogue Preview, Exhibit Preview

For Alaris, I did still get some new backgrounds from Vui, and while they are beautiful, I can no longer share them since they venture into spoiler territory. Sorry folks!

I have a sneak peek of a little Something Something.

Adorable emotes for a certain Something Something! That's all I will leave you with for now <3

Additional Notes

I spent A LOT of this month coding. I re-entered programming hell to get intertwine up and running. There were a lot of features that I coded for the first time, like a texting interface, some animations, and one Special, Very Game-Centric Feature That I Can't Disclose Due to Extreme Spoilers. It was really rewarding to see it all come together, and I am pretty happy with the end result ^^

You don't even know the hell I went through to customize this texting feature

We also have a lovely voice actor for Van, which we revealed on Twitter. Max has been an amazing talent to work with, and I am in love with the way he brought Van to life!!

Finally, I spontaneously ended up working with Orpheo Fenn and Kija of Faefield Productions for a custom intertwine soundtrack. I've been wanting to work with them for a while, so I'm so happy we were able to collab!

No market research this month, except for the fact that I played Tears of the Kingdom a little bit in my free time ^^ I am so in love with Link. Also, I didn't see the appeal to Sidon in the first game, but for some reason in this game, It Clicked. Like I Get It.

That's all from me for this month. Look forward to an intertwine release in the coming days! I'm excited to get back into Alaris full-swing this upcoming month. I didn't think I'd feel this way after feeling oversaturated with them for a hot minute, but I miss my Alaris gang <3 See you all next month, and stay safe!

Finished Clock Tower: Rewind! (Mini-review under the cut. Will have some spoilers.)

Still holds up as being one of the best horror games I've ever played. The ambiance, the beautifully made sprites/graphics, the atmosphere, the subtly disturbing story, and the mansion design... All of it comes together so perfectly to make it one of the most, if not THE most, high-tension filled experiences I've ever had in a horror game.

This game comes with two versions: the original Famicom release, and a version based on a romhack that took the extra content from First Fear, the PSX version, and stitched it into the original, along with new things; this is the Rewind version.

I did the first playthrough on the OG version, getting the B ending. After, I did the rest of my playthroughs on the Rewind version. I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the slow movement of the OG, but the QoL improvements were a welcome addition, as well as changing how Bobby, the Scissorman, works.

I avoided spoilers before getting my physical copy, so I had no idea how they changed him from the OG. Instead of having just triggered appearances, he now can appear at random, and has many new ways to be triggered as well. This new addition caught me by surprise and had me more paranoid than before. There was a part where I was playing that I had Jennifer standing idly in the garage while I was talking to @philian-arkhiv about something, thinking it was completely safe, when suddenly the chase music started up, catching me completely off-guard, because I knew for a fact Bobby couldn't just waltz into a room unprovoked; at least not in the OG. And yet, here he was on his way, throwing my mind (and calm resolve) into a complete frenzy.

That was a terrible surprise, but a good one, even if I would be haunted by it for days to come.

I don't know what it is about Bobby that gets to me so much, but these new mechanics amplified him as a terrifying horror villain for me. Thankfully, Jennifer was given more ways to defend herself as well. Definitely appreciate that. ^^;;

That said, there were some slight issues I had with this version. For one, there is some jank. There are times when I'd click in one direction, but Jennifer would go in the opposite. There also may be an event missing from Rewind? In the areas that consist of only a door and a window, you can sometimes see eyes looking in, or the window would suddenly burst open from the wind. It happens in the OG, but for as long as I stayed there, it never seems to happen in Rewind. Perhaps it's a bug or it simply didn't happen on my playthrough. Either way, I just hope it wasn't cut from this version.

The other issue I have is more a personal preference, but I don't really care for the anime art. It's not terrible, but I feel it doesn't really suit Clock Tower. The realistic artstyle worked much better in my honest opinion. But fortunately, it's not used in the main game at all, so it doesn't bother me that much.

For the record, I do enjoy the new track "Sharp Laughter" sung by Mary-Elizabeth McGlynn, even if it is a little extravagant. The end credits theme by Emi Evans, however, is a little too "Nier" for this game. Nonetheless, I don't hate it. It's nice hearing more from these two icons.

That all said, it's such a treat to finally have this game be officially available worldwide. It really is a classic, and I'd encourage anyone who loves niche horror to give this game a try.

Silent Hill is my favorite horror series, but Clock Tower has always been a close second, and I still stand by that stance.

So, I rate this game 8.7/10

Great to have you back, Clock Tower! I hope there will be more to come in the future! Please bring in more remasters and/or remakes, WayForward! I'll happily buy them! 'Cept CT3.

By the way, here's a funny little aside: there was a part where I walked into the mannequin room by accident, turned to leave, and ran into Bobby outside. I had nowhere to go, so I ran back in and prepared to confront him. When I successfully managed to best him with the panic button, no joke, the mannequin in the back suddenly laughed, as if it were amused by Bobby getting knocked over by Jennifer. Had me and @philian-arkhiv laughing a fair bit at that. XP

pokemon yellow, day 1: pallet town-pewter city

oh yeah, it's that time again!

what up gay nerds!!

so, yeah, we're on to pokemon yellow! despite fully admitting that the little guy is cute as heck, i've really never been the biggest pikachu fan? i think that's probably inevitable when something becomes the mascot for a franchise whose strength is having literally hundreds of different little dudes that everyone's obviously gonna have different levels of attachment to, but yeah. i really think eevee woulda been a better mascot for the franchise & i will die mad about it! (not really. i'm joking. this is a baby franchise for babies. i'm not allowed to actually be mad about it.)

so, yeah! needless to say being locked into having pikachu as your starter & constant companion and not even being able to evolve him into the objectively superior raichu (i'm kidding, i just love me some raichu) made this not really super my favorite pokemon game! but it does have enhanced graphics including new sprites for the pokemon and some of the characters, plus a few minor additions in dialogue & gameplay to make it resemble the (at the time) wildly-popular anime, including my beloved jessie & james!!!

so, yeah! you're locked into pikachu as your starter. i named mine "chu chu" to be cute. and then, like in red & blue, you can catch your usual rattatas & pidgeys of the world once you have pokeballs. i named rattata "kug" (after a character in dimension 20: the unsleeping city) and pidgey "bird" (because i thought it was funny, yeah, i'm dumb.).

also, you can totally call me a cheater if you want to for this if you want, but since the legit mew i caught in red & traded over to blue for my dex was at a low level (level 7 is always the level you encounter using the glitch i linked to in my last pokemon blue post), i went ahead and traded that mew (nicknamed omega) over to be one of my starting pokemon too. when i played blue back in the day i always used gameshark to get mew and always had one on my elite four team, so i figured i might as well continue that tradition in at least one of my gen 1 playthroughs. shrugs!

i caught everything i could in the vicinity of viridian city

(nicknamed punchy)

(nicknamed tomboy)

(nicknamed boywife)

(nicknamed angy bird)

and made short work of all the bug catchers in viridian forest, and caught the one new pokemon i could there

(nicknamed flick, after the animal crossing character. no weedle in yellow for some reason, idk why! i'll have to send one over from blue.)

and finally, i finished off this first stretch of game by beating brock for my first gym badge! he gets a fancy new sprite that matches his anime model a bit better, plus some dialogue that references his characterization in the anime, as well as alluding to the many possible, varied ways to be a pokemon trainer.

and that's all for now! i know my pokemon yellow updates are gonna be way more dex-heavy, so it's a good thing they wrote new dex entries for yellow! i hope y'all aren't gonna get bored since there'll be a lot of retreading here, but yeah, thanks for sticking around! catch ya next time, gay nerds!

[fatty-is-fearful]

oh hey it's my lad Vezsu lol i do actually plan on porting Freaky Fresh Fools, but due to complications, namely the fact that i simply sprited and designed the party members, and the person who is coding the port (Wogwo) simply lost interest in brutal orchestra nowadays (which is highly understandable lmao), it's taking a longer while. i am planning to let them switch coding hands to someone else (back to the coder of the itch.io port, AmorphousBlob alongside Vincey Vinzetti) so hopefully that'd help hasten things up even for a little bit i have some funny reworks and new additions to the roster in mind so i hope that'll keep ya on ya toes :O

A Genius, Six Partners and a Tank [1975/2025]

ok, two things about this piece:

while the addition of an official steam workshop greatly helps with ease of access and operation, a load of mods have yet to make the jump from standalone files found thru itchio to mods available in the new steam format, some which may never see the jump at all. here's hoping we can meet again some sunny days, you brave and foolish bastards. (if you manage to recognize and name them all, you get a prize!)

the base game fools all share a small color palette, around 60 colors in total* (only 4 shades of green and 5 of purple!) so I wanted to try and color all these fellas using that small palette sample**, a fun lil' exercise.

*not counting mung or mordrake, who are egregious outliers (enemy color palette and being from another game altogether)

**some exceptions had to be made, [backpack kid]'s skull uses enemy's shades of purple, [red skulled fella]'s teeth uses mung's colors and [tank driver]'s tank uses colors from the pitiful corpse

[icharchivist]

Lmao that "oh, I don't care if Fiorito is betraying us, she's not the first and she won't be the last" Incredible

Glad that Feather is getting his chance to punch Ragazzo in the face:)

And

Oh no, the long awaited fight between friends :'(

Poor Cupitan and Tristette

Oh no the inevitable betrayal. Who could have seen this coming etc

Seeing baby Tristette and baby Cupitan side by side, they have a yin yang theme going on, don't they? Both wearing black and white like that. And grown up Cupitan wears mostly white while Tristette is black. It's actually really cool!

And oh damn. Cupitan being in denial and rewriting her own memories. It makes sense, her powers would work like that and why shouldn't she use them, but poor dear :(

God, Ferdinand didn't even clean up the body, that is disgusting

It actually makes sense that Troue would share his visions with people to make sure he's seeing the right person i.e. Kolulu, since he can't remember her, due to his memory thing

No baby Feather and Randall sprites??? We were robbed. Robbed, I say!

Feather is such a Shounen protagonist.

But the transformation was cool. In general it feels like Gbf is getting so much better with their addition of effects like that. It really elevates the visual novel segments

I actually think I have Feather's SSR, this is all looking very familiar

Aaa the babiest of Ragazzos

Also why is this Child Abuse The Story, Jesus Christ

Seriously there's so much child abuse :(

Oh no cool monster designs

Randall ex machina! Good for him!

Cool CG

Yay, gay boys fighting together. As it should be

Ragazzo is so homophobic, telling them to shut up while they're having a moment

"Are the Horoscopes on sale or what?" Wheezing

Glad that the boys managed to figure things out, but how sad that I was betrayed and am totally dead for real :) Oh well

Oh no, Ferdinand, curse your sudden and inevitable betrayal - Actually that was pretty fucked up to do nvm

Tikoh is an icon immediately going for the kill tbh. Cheering for her

And that was the end. Very unsatisfying. Definitely upset now. I hope we get to smash Ferdinand's skull soon :)

Thank you for letting me ramble and goodnight!

tHIS IS SOOO FUNNY, the self awareness is off the charts.

GO RAGAZZO GO!!

and oh god Cupitan and Tristette. here we go :(

what? betrayal? in my betrayal story? :(

good catch on the yin yang designs! yeah they're really like this huh!

But god yeah. the reveal of Cupitan's denial just really broke my heart. she tried to cope hard but god :(

KILL FERDINAND KILL KILL MAIM.

and yeah that makes tons of sense :( poor Troue though, but i'm glad he finds way to work around his issue.

ROBBED. AGREED. i want to see them babies :(

Feather iss SUCH a Shounen Protagonist you're so right. and yeah the transformation was really cool and i agree!! Granblue really polished this with time to really play with the VN format as much as possible to really utilize it to the maxium and that's so cool, i love to see how late-events granblue plays with it.

ouugh nice for Feather's SSR.

BABIEST RAGAZZO :((((

Yeah this really is Child Abuse: the Event, all of them have tragedies in their past, especially as children, most of them went through abuse, and then you have Ragazzo in particular and all you can do is stare in horrror while just. worse and worse things happen to him :(

Cool monster design indeed though :( Ragazzo………

RANDALL EX MACHINA HELL YEAH SO PROUD OF HIM!!!!

nods nods hell yeah, side by side, as they should be. so emo about it. Ragazzo c'm'on, we've waited for it all event, just let them have their moments.

THIS QUOTE IS SO GOOD.

ahah yeah we're totally dead and betrayed and Fio would just never find a loophole because she cares so much right <3

I love the final battle between Randall&Feather/Ragazzo, how it's all about Ragazzo keeping his walls up until they finally manage to connect together. It was heartbreaking to see Ferdinand come and betray him like this, and the reveals of just All The Abuses just made it so much worse. I think like. him betraying Ragazzo is expected in a sense, we don't trust Ferdinand here. But the way he did it, and the way Ragazzo answered to the Horrors just by saying he wishes Ferdinand had pat him on the head and told him he did good? I'm going to kill Ferdinand myself with my own bare hands.

TIKOH ABSOLUTE ICON. We love one revengeful Erune who totally deserves to maim and kill that man.

HELL YeAH! you still have the "Observation" bonus story that serves as an epilogue with some more lore and plot there though ;D

but YEAH LET'S KILL FERDINAND ALL TOGETHER! i will not rest until i can be sure this man is dead and burried. I'm all for redeeming evil characters but Ferdinand is where i draw the line, i want him torn to shred. I want to redeem Ragazzo though :(

And i'm very grateful you did ramble!! i love Marionette Stars and i'm really happy to have seen your thoughtprocess going through it, so thank you very much <333

good night to you too!! take care ;D

turnabout quiz aa5 dlc translation

Turnabout Quiz was AA5′s Japan-only DLC. In the DLC, Phoenix, Apollo, Trucy, Athena and Pearl are recruited onto a quiz show in which they visit various locations in pairs to solve quiz questions (ala Professor Layton). Perhaps because the quiz questions often depend upon knowledge of Japanese culture and the Japanese language (especially the final question), this DLC was never localized outside of Japan. It is probably one of the only Japanese-only DLCs, in addition to the two DGS DLCs that aren’t present in TGAA.

I highly recommend reading through the thread linked above. You’ll need to open the spoiler tags on each post to read through the translation (which continues onto Page 2 of the thread). The full English translation is there, and I recommend reading to the very end.

(Spoilers below!)

I think there are teamups of at least Phoenix and Apollo, Phoenix and Trucy, Athena and Pearl, Apollo and Trucy, and Apollo and Klavier. What’s cute is that each teamup spends some time bantering about each quiz question, and some of the banter is quite cute and funny / poignant. Like for example, Phoenix and Trucy come across a puzzle about a murder victim who knows his son is the culprit, and wipes the prints from the scene before he dies. Trucy asks Phoenix if he will protect her like that if she killed him, and his response is “you shouldn’t kill me at all”. And then when Phoenix is on a conference call, he remarks “Phones these days have such amazing capabilities” and Trucy says “Daddy, if there’s something you don’t understand, you can ask me” lol helping her old Daddy with his phone... they are everything to me!

The Apollo and Klavier investigation is also quite hilarious, as is Apollo and Trucy.

What’s interesting is that you later learn that Klavier himself was in on the quiz show (Apollo perceives him and his tic, which is brushing his hair to the side. This is something he does on his AA4 sprite as well as in the manga, where Apollo perceived the same behavior). The quiz show was meant to be unscripted which is also funny. Literally, they were on a reality show without knowing it.

It’s just nice to see the characters have a little time to banter and breathe without any huge stakes or other side characters hogging the stage. This is a cute DLC.

Now, why I bring this up right now is the upcoming 456 port. This seems like a great, and probably the last, opportunity to bring Turnabout Quiz stateside. Personally, I would like to see it. If TGAA can be localized, this definitely could be by just changing up some of the quizzes. And I really hope we get to see this content localized into English beyond just this (albeit great) translation.

Cool Games of 2022 that I liked

This guy launched with a pretty rough beta and honestly still isn't complete, but it's probably the most enjoyable co-op level based shooter that I've ever played. I've heard Fatshark is pretty good at creating additional content for their games, but you really shouldn't buy a game based on what might be coming. The moment to moment gameplay is just good. It's just really good. Also it's visually incredible...if your graphics card can handle it. (on a 3070ti with DLSS on quality and sometimes I drop to below 60fps at 1440p)

Pkmn LetLet def needed more time in development, but honestly this is probably the most interesting pkmn game overall. I personally only experienced one crash during my play time and performance has been fine. Like, I expect a switch to crumple under the weird expectations this game has, they should've designed those parts better, but even then. It's still a very compelling game. I like the openness, I liked exploring (even if it rarely hit 30 fps), I liked catching new funny little dudes, I liked the characters for once because they don't feel so one dimensional. Competitive is wild right now, lots of interesting teams and weird new stuff. I do hope they continue modifying the pkmn formula, I really want more for co-op. Anyway, I do hope they just slow down with pkmn and the devs can get their shit together properly.

I highly recommend if you're a fan of PS1 horror games. A dystopian sci-fi setting with Lovecraft themes and RE1~esq controls and puzzles and excellently executed anime art style. Everything about this game just works.

PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME DOES HAVE A LOT OF FLASHING IMAGERY AND DOES NOT HAVE A WAY TO TURN IT OFF.

A DOOM-like that takes being called that as a compliment. If you like fast-paced old school shooters, you'll love it. It's got dudes to shoot and you have bullets to feed them. Pretty excellent level design, some bits that make it just a little more engaging than point gun and dude, but not enough to disrupt flow. I really had a good time with it.

I kickstarter'd this game and I'm glad I did. It's a great puzzle platformer with a funny gun that is also a frog. I really love ps1 aesthetics and low poly art and this game does a great job with it. It's also fun to replay and speedrun levels. The frogun's sticky tongue latching on to walls to move around quickly is fun.

Absolutely excellent sprite work with gameplay improvements to an already good beat'em up base. If you need a beat'em up to play with friends, this one is my go to.

It sure does like to say capitalism sucks a lot, and that's a pretty good feature. Enjoyed the story and the characters, the beginning is really tense, but it loses that about a quarter of the way in (which I kinda miss). Still, you'll mostly enjoy following character stories and trying to do the best you can looking for your preferred ending with a funny dice system

Finally, a voxel based game that isn't terrible and actually takes advantage of being voxel based. Tons of creative solutions and interesting challenges. Unfortunately does need a pretty good rig to enjoy a lot of the visuals, but it does looks really good too.

I really liked Shadow Tower and King's Field. There's something really appealing about first person dungeon crawlers. The world here is interesting and full of secrets. Exploration is fun, but sometimes really tense (in a good way). Also, of course, I like ps1 aesthetics and this one really nails its look within that visual style while still feeling like it's own.

It's still in Early Access, but the content that's there is honestly worth it.

Yeah, it's good. Play it. I wrote a bunch of stuff about it before that felt negative overall, but it's still a great game (and better than the majority of other over inflated budget games).

Good job FromSoftware, now stop overworking your employees and please just take care of Armored Core 6. PLEASE REMEMBER THE ANTI-CAPITALISTIC THEMES OF ARMORED CORE. PLEASE REMEMBER THEM. PLEASE DON'T WATER DOWN HOW MEGA CORPORATIONS RUINED THE WORLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DO. I'LL MAKE MY OWN STUPID MECH GAME GOD DAMN IT.

QUICK LIST OF GAMES THAT I'M PROBABLY GOING TO RECOMMEND BUT I HAVEN'T COMPLETED

Super Lesbian Animal RPG Lunistice Goodbye World Gloomwood UraGun Scorn

[samanddean76]

This is such great game! After much thought, here are my favorites, all for wildly different reasons.

Living His Gray Flannel Life: My very first bonafide case fic, set in a canon-adjacent AU that follows Jimmy as he tries to survive the utter chaos that his life gets thrown into. Rescued by Sam, he starts losing chunks of time, finally being given the revenge he deserves, while also falling in love. The twist? Little is as it appears, which lead to Jimmy stealing the Impala and running, but not before he defeats the true monster. One happy reunion later, and it leads to a life together. Oh, plus Bobby and Rufus show up and dole out their unique pearls of wisdom. It was my first bang, and I love it more than I can say. Rated: Explicit

Ritual Sacrifice: A fantasy romp that deals with star crossed lovers, deceit, curses, elves, fae, sprites, gnomes, prophecy, and dueling realms. A J2 story that let me use castles, an enchanted forest, and enough backstory to fuel the imagination. The Elven King is set to marry his Fae Prince, not knowing that he is the key to lifting the curse that had stricken all his people. That this delicate creature would be the salvation of them all. Rated: Mature

Gabriel And The Dragicorn: The second story I wrote. A stream of consciousness showing Gabriel's thoughts on his father's and brother's creations, while also highlighting how his dragicorn was truly the sweetest and most amazing addition to the natural order. Guaranteed to make you laugh. Rated: Teen & Up

The Wayward Cupid, The Boy King of Hell, and The Peen of Death: A tale explaining how the Boy King of Hell ended up with the cupid of his dreams by his side, the only one that could survive Sam Winchester's peen of death. Funny, hot as hell, and with a twist at the end that will leave you wanting more. Rated: Explicit

The Most Terrible Truths: Sam and John have never had the easiest relationship. A week before Sam is set to leave for Stanford, Dean is hurt on a hunt. The cure? Sam and John have to endure a fuck-or-die scenario, in which the complicating factor is if either of them lies, Dean dies. But can they survive that much truth being spilled. It was a simple story that got away from me. It was supposed to be 5k, but ended up almost 13k because once I got them talking, I couldn't get either of them to shut up. This is my number one fic for the "I don't usually read that pairing, but I'm so glad I read this story" comment. It was a story I never thought I would write, but one I love. Rated: Explicit

Well, here's my list. Now, how about some more. No pressure tags for @masoena, @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis, @sam-is-my-safe-word, @nyxocity, and @girlsvmonsters. I hope you join in the fun!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤️

Hiii thank you so much for the ask! This is a fun one to think about.

Deadpool Distractions: The K-word - It's been forever but this is still my favorite of mine. I really love how it turned out.

Taste of Cherry: This is one that quickly broke my top five. It was a lot of musing and thinking of the why of the cross-over between my two sabriel universes and I just really enjoyed the contrast and the story building for both worlds that it played into.

It Obviously Wasn't a Book: I reread this one often. I just really am proud and enjoy reading it. I love the body movements in it and Gabriel is just so fun. The range from silly to pissy to serious and back again is just fun.

Frozen Caves and Warming Confessions: I forgot how much I enjoyed this Merthur tale. I haven't read it in a while, but I just enjoy the emotions and the dialogue.

Foolishness: While looking through stuff, I realized I adore this story. It just hurts so good. Plus without that request, I wouldn't have found The Mandela Catalogue which is horridly amazing.

Thank you so much for sending this! It was really fun to look through my stuff and think about these stories again. Though I was tempted to put unposted work cause ugh some of these I really think are gonna be new favorites.

Can I make this a tag? Cause I'm gonna xD No pressure tags: @idabbleincrazy @heavenssexiestangel @samanddean76 @hobbyistauthor @ladylilithprime

Pokemon Scarlet playthrough part the 9th: I avoid getting crushed by giant boulders, fighting a make-up artist, doing some cave exploring, and then fighting a really sweet wrestler.

Masterlist of my playthrough

Okay so I got a bit mixed up when I said "flying gym leader" next. It was actually flying titan next and then a gym leader whoops.

Gotta say the mountain area where you fight the giant bird? Beautiful. I love climbing up the windmills and gliding from place to place. A very good area for gliding.

I clearly saw the giant Bombirdier in the distance and I was like, yup, that's the titan. So I had to dodge some giant boulders on my way up, not the easiest thing. Gotta say, hiding behind big rocks like that reminded me of this one bit from PR: Shadows of Almia. Similar situation and all, but this time much shorter.

The bird... was very easy. I am overleved and am using an electric type against it. One hit KO.

Happy as always to help Arven's sick dog, I hope the last herb makes it all better. And now... I CAN FINALLY SWIM! Now I can get to the last titan out in the water, first I'm going to fight the Psychic Gym Leader, tho.

Arven thinks that there some sort of mental block stopping Kori from going to battle mode. Something traumatizing. Considering Kori's body language, I'd say he's correct. I'm very suspicious of his mom right now....

I haven't explored the area as thoroughly as I'd like but it's easy to get lost on where you've been and where you haven't when you include all the jumping onto high areas.

So I headed towards the city where the Psychic gym is and went into the cool cave, it seems like a really big cavernous cave. Climbed to the top and into the town. I'm happy to say I'm on level again, considering the wild Pokemon.

I caught a phony Sinistea, might try to get the real deal some other time, but this is fine for now. Also caught a Klefkey and a Banette. The Banette battle was kinda funny because it pretty much sabotaged itself.

See I was using my Clodsire, who has Yawn. I use Yawn to help me catch Pokemon by making them fall asleep. Turns out the Banette had the Insomnia ability which would have stopped this from working if it hadn't used a move that made it copy my ability. So then I had Poison Point instead, which is useless against my Clodsire because it's poison and also because he only has special attacking moves.

So the town itself is real pretty looking what with all the tiles and water fixtures. But the way it looks and the music gives real Orientalism vibes. And I'm just a little uncomfy with that considering the history of Orientalism. idk, maybe I'm overthinking it.

When I talked to an NPC and they mentioned Pokemon artwork on the observatory that looks like old video game sprite art, I got really excited. I was like "is it old Pokemon sprite work?!" and it was! It was sprites from gen 1! I really adore this reference to the older games, it's a really nice addition. Anyway I'll be visiting the gym and seeing what my test is right after this, toot-a-loo.

Uhh... I didn't really like the gym test I think it was kind of tedious, the music was nice though. Also one of my teacher's was there. Y'know something I always find myself wondering is why the other challenges are using the same typing as the gym. I get game mechanics wise, they are suppose to act as the gym trainers you fight in other gyms but in this case they are supposed to be challengers. Wouldn't they have more variety of Pokemon? Or they could have Pokemon that are strong against that gym's type.

Anyway the gym test was pretty much a quick time event, altho I had much more time than I needed, and I just like it went on for too long.

The gym leader herself, meh. I don't really care about make-up. I liked how she had those flapping wings on her outfit tho, they were cool. And I feel like her team fit her theme well with all of them being very pretty Pokemon.

It was nice to battle a gym where I was on level again. She even took out 2 of my Pokemon. I mostly used my grass cat against her, because dark type. I didn't get a single one hit KO, so good on her. I switched to my Rock Salt golem because it has a Steel move to try try to use against Gardavor. But it had Energy Ball and I only got one hit in.

At the end her flower lady became Psychic but it still has its Fairy moves of course and took out grass cat with a Moon Blast. Finished it off with my Giraffe.

Afterwards I decided to do a bunch more exploring. I checked out the detour to that Psychic Town, and it was super cool, very scenic. I explored some other caves around the area. And climbed around the waterfall.

I ended up finding two more stakes. But I've realized something. Up until now I haven't given much though about why the stakes are different colors, yellow and purple. But I think I figured it out. The creepy gate was purple, so I bet only the purple stakes were tied to it. So I bet there's a different Yellow Gate, and the yellow stakes affect that one. So yeah I'm going to keep exploring for a while longer.

Nothing much to report about my exploring. I used Kori's newfound swimming ability to visit some random islands. I was surprised when I found people on a couple of there. I was like "What the hell are you doing way out here?"

So what I decided was Fighting Star Raid first, then going after the Dragon titan after that. Trying to figure out how to get to the next Star Raid was a bit tricky because the area was kinda hard to get to and out of the way. I wonder what made her choose a place so secluded.

Anyway this bamboo forest looking area is really pretty though. Nice music too. I had a hard time getting through because I'm back on level and the many Fighting Types around here keep trying to pick fights with me.

I was surprised to find the boss of this group, Eri, trying to guard the gate herself. Mad respect. Doing the raid itself was interesting because I pretty much just had to go in a straight line, a much less open area this is.

I will say I might have actually been slightly underleveled but I did fine. I had a Normal/Psychic, a Fighting/Flying, and an Electric/Flying with me. So I had a lot of type advantage with me. The fight with Eri herself gave me some trouble.

First I used Kilowattrel against her Toxicroak. Air Slash brought it into red and it's Poison Jab brought me into then low orange (also poisoned). So I used a Full Restrore. It used Poison Jab again but didn't poison me that time so I used Air Slash again and took it out.

I won't do a whole play-by-play but her Annilape gave me some trouble. The car was hard to fight too. In the end I was victorious but half of my team was fainted.

So anyway Eri is really sweet, I like her a lot. It's glaringly clear indeed that Penny/Cass/Big Boss are all the same person. When I ask Cass about her "Gang" she never directly answers me but talks about the motivation's of Team Star, thus, implying that that is the gang.

Penny clearly seems to look down at her past actions as the Big Boss. I'm very interested in hearing more. I want to hear her motives behind everything.

After all that I explored the area a bit. When I saw that huge wall of stone I was like "what the fuck is that" but now I've realized that that is the boundary between this region and another. After all Spain/Portugal isn't an island. I'm just more used to that sort of thing being blocked by a forest. But I guess a forest isn't going stop Koraidon, now is it?

I also found another stake but this was a new color, blue! Are there three doors then? I've never found Blue stakes before.

Another weird thing, I think, are these... crystals? idk what rock they are but there are these big black rocks around and I'm like, "What's the deal with these?"

Anyway I'll leave this post off here, I'll be going after the dragon titan next and then I'll start heading off into the mountains. to face the last stuff that's left. Unless I decide partway through to take some more school classes. Been meaning to take some more.

Here’s another batch of ask responses. You can also check our Frequently Asked Question sheet if there’s something you’re wondering that’s not answered here. It has info about DLC plans, how to get the MC proposal in Step 3, info on Cove’s general details, etc.

FAQ   Also, if you prefer to just see the main posts without all the asks/reblogs, feel free to follow our side account instead: GB Patch Updates Blog

Thank you for the interest in our games everyone!

I have to ask! Will Our Life 2 come out soon, or sometime next year?

It’s not coming out any time soon, I’m afraid. Late 2022 is the earliest estimate. At least for all three Steps. Maybe we’ll release the Steps one at a time as they get finished instead of waiting for all three to be done.

Since we have the first letters of the OL2 love interests, is there any chance we may have the first letter of the default player character name?

The default first name for the MC starts with “F”!

Hello! I'm not sure if it's too late to ask or recommend since the game is in production, but would it be possible to have a dark, cool undertoned skin for the MC's mom for OL2?

Right now we can only manage the four options for her. Changing the skin on that one sprite isn’t the only part that’d be required. There’s more art for the mom that’d also need new extra work if she had more skin tones and there’s additional programming involved to include new choices. I’m sorry for that.

The compromise for having a mom with only four options is that the MC’s bio dad isn’t shown on screen. So traits not from the mom can be assumed to come from the dad. Maybe we’d be able to expand the options for the mom sprite if things go well with future funding.

Would it be too much to ask if the Baxter romance can move forward from casual if you continue/rekindle it during Step 4? I assume that's an option, anyway.

If that's best revealed when it releases that's completely understandable. Thank you for making this fantastic game <3

Yep! In Step 4 you can start a more genuine and serious relationship with him once he’s older and if you get his DLC.

Are yalls okay with someone making fanworks with your characters and the topic revolves around a certain issue wjdjwjckskcj im kinda planning this one fanfic 👉👈 

You can make fanworks of our characters. I’m not sure what the issue is, but unless it’s something seriously horrific or bigoted or what have you I imagine there’d be no problem.

Hi there! I heard that once the NSFW moment comes out you’ll need to subscribe to the $5 Patreon, but since I’m from the UK I don’t actually know which one that is since the site only shows the value in UK pounds. Am I right to assume that it’s the tier labelled “Fans”? It says £4 for me which I assume is pretty much the same but I just wanted to double check. Thank you for your time! 

Yeah, “Fans” is the right tier to get the Patreon Bonus Moment.

Hi! Hope you are having a great day! ^-^ I’m almost through with my second play-through and I have a few questions. Does Coves feelings for MC match what you pick at the start of the step? Admittedly I have only played fond/crush in 2 and 3 and his feelings seem to match MC. When doing an indifferent play-through, does Coves feelings match? If they don’t, generally what is coves inclination towards MC in each step? (Like indifferent, fond, crush over the steps)

Sorry for my ramble, I was just curious. 💜

Cove’s feelings for the MC are the same as the MC’s feelings for him. He wants to get along, if possible, so if the MC is good to him the relationship goes well. But if you’re indifferent to him, he keeps his distance.

I don’t know if you’ve answered this before but does proposing to Cove during the end of Step 3 affect the Wedding DLC like change choices, references, etc?

It does get referenced but it doesn’t make huge differences.

Sorry if you've answered this before, but how do you pronounce Kyra's name? (Keyra, kai-ra, other?) My name is spelt that way but people constantly pronounce it the "wrong" way. I want to make sure im pronouncing it right :) 

It’s pronounced as Kai-rah!

In wedding dlc, will it have an option where we temporarily dated Baxter in step 3? Or there will be no mention of it in dlc? 

&

Hey, will there be any flavor text for the wedding DLC if MC dated Baxter before their relationship with Cove? I think it would be kind of funny in a way X3

Yeah. It won’t be a huge thing ‘cause it was very casual dating in Step 3, but it will come up if it happened.

Will there be any mention of Cove and MC having kids or adopting in Step 4? 

There’s no children in Step 4. It’d add too many alterations for us to manage and Cove wouldn’t be comfortable having kids at the age of 23, whether through adoption or birth.
