Virtue's Heaven is on Sale! It's a game that took me almost 8 years to finish, and I put *so much* of myself into it that makes it very hard for me to be polite about the fact that I have to beg people to buy the game write steam reviews for it.

Sure, the German Railway system is slowly decaying and ridiculously expensive, but I also discovered that some of their trains have these very satisfying coathanger(?) buttons built into their seats.

I tried to put a lot of my own messy emotional state into Virtue's Heaven. One of which was: "I wish I could shoot laser beams at the techno fascists that try and destroy me and my friend's existence."

It's discounted on Steam right now:

Virtue's Heaven is 10% off on Steam!
Being an expert in the game (I made it), I'd say that it's well worthy of your time and a positive review on Steam.

Made some little guy versions of the enemies for JRPG dungeon test yesterday.

Love how the tiny Reupel looks like he's flipping off the player.

I'm can now report that enemies in JRPG game not only look like they're sighing out of existence upon death, they now also sound like it.

The biggest difference between action games and a JRPG?
While in the former, an enemy has to go out in a screen-filling explosion, in the latter it has to gracefully sigh out of existence.

Why?

I don't know, it's what people decided on over the years and who am I to judge the wisdom of the past?

Working on JRPG game gives me a chance to work through some of my lingering issues from back when I was studying evolutionary biology.

Spend my entire day drawing animations for attacks such as "throw book at enemy".

After losing over an hour to Game Maker eating my projects, I did manage to build a particle system for JRPG game.
