Fun fact!
Each of the new bosses in OFF (2025) had mechanics inspired by their core themes, but the idea for Carnival's mechanic came from a reddit comment...
"What if OFF used the press-turn/1-more system from Persona?"
As a fan, I simply couldn't resist :)

I have been truly lucky and blessed to work alongside some incredible folks the past couple of years. On new projects, old projects, stuff I can talk about and stuff that I can't.
But the consistent thing? I am grateful to be surrounded by immense talent. Truly. 💖

TECHNICAL DETAILS!
Problem: since we're displaying text one letter at a time, "Ephem" will fit on the top line, but "Ephemeral" will not. So there's a weird text jump! This sucks to fix because we use markup tags for dialogue.
Fix: Make an "invisible" color tag and shift it thru the text, bozo

Flashback to the time I fixed a text-wrapping bug in Ephemeral Legend because someone pointed it out like 2 years prior and it slowly ate away at my soul
