Anyway if you want to help out a team full of impoverished queer artists working on failing hardware (I'm not the only one) on a core game that focuses heavily on queer joy you should wishlist Kitsune Tails and then buy it day 1 on August 1st when it comes out on PC: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

well that was a horrible slog. made all bosses in the game react properly to all powers that affect enemies in the game. even if you're unlikely to have a certain power for a given boss because, you know, new game+ is gonna be a thing

@eniko you colorize the dialogue boxes for every character?!

Did you wake up and decide "I WANT TO MAKE MORE WORK FOR FOONE IF THAT PUNK EVER TRIES TO PUT MY GAME IN THE GENERATOR!" :)

@foone sorry! >_> the dialog box palettes are in a human readable file at least? :'D

@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@foone there's gonna be an NPC one that doesn't have a palette entry cause it uses the colors of the character for the borders while having a grey background

sitting here wondering if i've ever actually fully completed any final fantasy game and uhh

... i dont think i've finished literally a single one despite having played 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, crisis core, tactics, and tactics advance

i've gotten to the end in 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 but something always happened that stopped me from beating the final boss. my save corrupted in 5, idk wtf happened in 6, i recall getting frustrated in 7 and 8, and in 10 i decided to get all the ultimate weapons and quit playing in disgust after finally beating the stupid chocobo race

weird thing to realize

eniko OP ,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

i did, however, complete secret of mana, secret of evermore, chrono trigger, and breath of fire 2

anyway if you enjoyed the mechanics of the job system in final fantasy 5 then you should definitely check out my roguelike midboss, where possessed enemies function like jobs. and oh look, its on sale on steam right now! how fortuitous! https://store.steampowered.com/app/561740/MidBoss/

this was an excellent segue into promoting my stuff. i am good at marketing

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

yuzu kitsune tails, a purple haired fox girl, picks up samurai armor in a tower that's rapidly filling with lava. she jumps away from the rising lava and sticks her spear in the wall, doing a dashing twirl to get on top of it. she walks off the spear and into a new scene, fighting a ghost fox with armor and spear. it stabs and she jumps over, but is caught by a follow up stab. the ghost fox over extends and its ghostly powers wane, giving yuzu a chance to bop on its head

a pox on whoever came up with the fucking byte order mark

eniko OP ,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

so we have several google docs for the script of kitsune tails. i download them as txt files, and a batch file concatenates them with the type command. then i feed the concatenated full script to our script tool

anyway turns out when you download txt files from google docs they stick a fucking byte order mark in em. so concatenating them just sticks random BOMs all through your document. i never noticed because of a fluke of the tool

so anyway now i've added code to strip BOMs from the start of any line but jesus christ this is why there should not be byte order marks, ever, and if your software is putting them into plaintext files in this, the year of our lord 2024 then you deserve to get reality checked right into the pavement

the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.

eniko ,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@foone i think recreational programming is a big part of the appeal of programming language development for me. not "what would be the one language to rule them all" but "what would be a good language to code stuff in for fun"

Lmao Tesla has sold fewer cybertrucks than I've sold copies of MidBoss. Is this the power of the richest man in the world? Pathetic
