Done with Shuten Order!

I know this is the third time I been saying this, but it needs to be said louder for the people in the back...

HOW THE HELL AREN'T MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME?

I went through such an emotional finale, I shed a couple tears! Game some issues, but it's so good! 🧵

Started a recently released vn called shuten order which is apparently a kodaka vn and....

based on the 3 routes I played, but ESPECIALLY this one I just got done...

I don't understand why not more people talk about it, this vn is absolute cinema

I did the thing!

Game is better than 3, loved the combat mechanics and the characters, story is more interesting (but fucking confusing and bullshit in flow)...

but it's nowhere close the quality I had from 0, k1 and k2

was least annoying to 100%!

Kind of gives me the vibe they were in a hurry, but yeah. Also, since Bug Fables is unity 2018.4, only 2 of the 4 arguments mentioned matters: -overrideMonoSearchPath and -monoProfiler

here's the ghidra diff, left is vanilla, right is patched

Does it change anything with modding?

no...

That's as high as it can go with just unit tests for the bootstrap. FINALLY I WON'T NEED TO BOOT THE GAME EVERYTIME TO TEST BASIC STUFF!

Next is cleaning up those tests (cause they're ugly to read) and then do an integration test so I have everything covered :)

I AM PRETTY SURE I AM THE FIRST THAT FIGURED OUT HOW YOU DO THIS WITH A MODLOADER!

well you know what the stream tomorrow will be about!
September 7, 2025 at 4:19 AM
Got logging done on stream!

It's very MelonLoader based, but it's more extensible and has the essentials :D
September 2, 2025 at 2:13 AM
I somehow got VenusRootLoader to load UnityExplorer with it seemingly working except the autocompleter, I didn't expect it would go this far!

After almost 200 hours, I have 100%ed 100 lines, all 100 endings and stuff

This game's fucking good. It was INSANELY ambitious and it freaking delivered. It has SO MUCH shit in it, it didn't felt like you bought a game, it felt like you bought a game, its sequel and 10+ spinoffs in one

it's crazy!

I 100%ed the new somnium files game last night

It is a very 6/10 okay game which is very disappointing. While Data's usual shit gives very funny dialogues and the escape rooms puzzles are nice (when the game doesn't forces hints on you)

The plot just sucks and it feels they padded 90% of the game

I noticed something interesting and @lyghtt.bsky.social you probably want to check this too because you'll like this and want to pay attention

This is steam charts for bf over the last few weeks. For reference, the steam sales started on June 26, but bf+ released on July 3

A 🧵on what this means

I am decent at tetris :) (I used to do better, but it's my current pb after 2 days of this and it's decent, but I can do better)
July 4, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Rendered using SetText from Bug Fables :)

I just found that the hexagons transitions in bug fables are broken. You can't see this in game, but their termination condition are incorrect and it results in the coroutine dangling leaving the 10 hexagons sprites objects present when they should have been destroyed

I certainly didn't expect within 24 hours of attempts to get a full CI running on UnityExplorer with an improved build system. It's the second attempt and last one took me days to get somewhere, but I think I improved it A LOT more this time!

Gonna be a good fork :)

Did you know those dials were there in front of the fridge?

I didn't until now!

Also, it's yet another clever asset reuse because those dials are from the oven map :)

Ladies and gentlemen and nonbinary pals...

we gotem!

(if you ask why did I spend so much time on this since macos is shit, the answer is...I felt like it)
March 21, 2025 at 10:32 AM
I don't think I ever had on accident made my browser tabs look like this before

Holy fuck, there's just a lot of story to tell whenever I do that next blog post about MelonLoader bootstrapping work lol

OH MY GOD, NO ONE NOTICED THE CRYSTALS THERE GETTING CREST DENTAL WHITE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INN AND NO ONE DID BECAUSE IT'S INTENTIONALLY OVERPIRCED

I AM GONNA LOOSE MY MIND!
January 19, 2025 at 1:51 AM
Okay, pay close attention to the crystal at the top: see how it turned from blue to white?

HOW DID LITERALLY NOBODY NOTICED THIS ISSUE UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO? IT WAS PRESENT BEFORE 1.2.0 WHAT IS THIS?
January 18, 2025 at 11:52 PM
welp, we will no longer know about private branch pushes to bug fables

Valve has been spreading a change to games where private branches no longer shows up in their public api so steamdb can't track them anymore

It means we will no longer know if an update will happen :(

with holo?

with depth rendering problems?
January 5, 2025 at 11:36 AM
There's one thing that I learned from the holo rendering investigations: rendering multiple transparent objects in front of each other and especially if they overlap is a FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS!

Left is vanilla, this is what I was trying to fix

right is with a shader fix

TRANSPARENCY IS HELL!
January 5, 2025 at 11:17 AM
Someone reported this specific issue in bug fables

You would think it's part of the update right?

NO THIS ONE WAS LIKELY THERE SINCE DAY 1!

He actually is frozen, but he never was formally inflicted. Due to an error, when he summons the clones, he makes their conditions refers to the same list!
