Friday Rambles 2023-06-09 (Patreon)

It's not Friday till the Friday Rambles, as they say.

It's been a very busy and meaningful week for me in the real world. I'm stressed out and tired. I've been able to pull myself away briefly so I can write this Friday Rambles for you, my wonderful supporter.

I'm never playing the new Zelda, am I?

After like 3 weeks of delays because I was super busy with family and real life, I was able to finally release the Mac build and update 1.0.7 for the game. Wow! And I finally got an excuse to post on Twitter to promote my game again, for once. My online presence is withering away while everyone forgets I exist.

I forgot to update Instagram. Dammit! I'm doing that now. I guess it just goes to show how rusty I've gotten at the social media game.

Above: Look! I updated the Steam page

I also added back the Text Skip setting because I didn't want people to be able to skip text without actively enabling that setting. I had the worst time ever moving all the settings around so I could fit it in. I'm promising Future Me that the UI code won't suck so much for the next game.

The JP localization is chugging along. The first draft of the script is done, and it has entered the editing phase. The code for the game itself is mostly done too, but I'm going to wait til all the text is final to make some of the graphical localizations. I'm being fanatical about making sure the translation completely reflects my intent of the original dialogue in every way possible, and probably driving the loc team crazy. Sorry, fellas.

Above: A kinda cool article

I thought this article was kinda cool. But I'm pretty biased. Where's my Steam Deck certification, Valve!!

I wish I had time to draw, but I barely have time to write words into a computer. I am getting some manga reading in while I can in short bursts, though. Current read: Delicious in Dungeon, which rules.

Oops, I have to go. Thanks for your support, as always!! See you next week!
