That one PC98 game with the elf in it. You know... the one with the rude protagonist.

This random test I'm doing is getting out of hand. Game engine video footage in the works...

Didn't have to, but in the process, I did go through the motions of making the full line-guide for Cel-painting just for authenticity's sake. Looked neat by itself.

Finished Emio which will probably be my last VN this year? It was neat. I think the circumstances around it existing to begin with are incredible, but I couldn't help but feel a bit let down by the actual game. Still had fun though and I'm a big fan of FDC, hope the next game will improve from here

Cute game, it's not often that a roguelike is fun enough for me to play it until I reach the "end". Actually I think Hades is the only other one

Gave MH2 a decent shot, tried a bunch of weapons and killed the starter monsters. The season thing is pretty fun. The game is too grindy nowadays, but if I played this back when it came out, I would've been addicted. The feeling of immersion to count every zenny and monster scale is so refreshing

About time I give this thing a shot

Falling down a Takeshi Abo rabbit hole again after finishing Anonymous;Code. It's just amazing how iconic his style is for mystery/scifi VNs. I really developed some strong nostalgia for it over the years too.

Done with Anonymous;Code. Probably the second best SciADV after S;G and it was a great time, super cool narrative device and strong execution. There's a few spots it whiffs a little (especially in the second half) but overall it was a ton of fun. 4/5 from me

I played Fatal Twelve recently, this is basically a death game VN but made/writted by yuri VN people.

That yuri background actually makes it very different from the usual death game tropes - it focuses on character drama and has almost no violence/action or battle of wits. I definitely had fun

PC-98 Paradise explores the original release of Princess Tomato In The Salad Kingdom, the game that I believe inspired the team at Nintendo to give Super Mario Bros. a food-themed naming convention with Princess Peach, Kuppa, and the Mushroom Kingdom.

Somehow ended up watching "I Parry Everything" to the end despite it being a totally one-note silly show with the gimmick played straight and literally in the title. It's the same joke every time. I don't know what made it such an easy watch but I sincerely had fun. How does my brain even work...

Started Anonymous;Code today, it's super fun to far. The narrative gimmick is great, can't help but smile thinking about it

Gonna use the recent excitement around twitterlikes as a chance to start posting more regular hobby updates, been meaning to do it for a while.

I'll start by posting about recent stuff from the last few weeks and hopefully keep it from there
