RedLights on Fridays...

About work...

I made progress on a couple of commissions and on the pencil animations for the latest update of the game.

Sadly, I'm realizing I'll probably have no time to finish the game before the end of the year, as I wanted. But the important thing is to finish it properly and make it decent to play.

Shit happens, I guess, but I hate when it happens!

Aside from that, I wrote a few things about the structure of Lana's game. I want the game to have a romance story as part of the main plot, but I'm looking for a way to make it more than just choosing the correct option every time.

The game will have some "exploration" parts, clicking here and there to check locations, so maybe I'll make some specific routes that unlock the romance path, while leaving the door open to a normal ending where the MC just fucks Lana a few times.

I'll try to give it those summer-love vibes and save the full romance vibe for the good ending. I think I can make it work.

Well, most of the week I was struggling with some code and images to make the "check zone" of the game look better. Maybe in the end it's a bad idea, but I like how it's going.

By the way, I think maybe I explained myself badly last time.

In No-NTR mode, the NTR route ends in a game over. But in the NTR game, the NTR scenes don't end in a game over. It will be like Night Lessons: just another route.

The difference is that in No-NTR mode, that route doesn't exist, so encountering what would normally be the NTR route will result in a game over, but only in that mode.

Jesus, I find explaining myself harder than making the damn games...

This would be for checking the monsters, for example:

The picture...

Deborah Gefner in the movie Exterminator 2 (I don't know if there was an Exterminator 1).

I just watched the trailer. It looks like a classic revenge action movie from the '80s, but the soundtrack sounds weird, I'm not gonna lie.

But the important thing is the frame, and I think this is a good one.

Aside work...

Gym: okay. Reading: okay.

I started playing Wavetale, an indie game about a girl who uses some kind of shadow creature to surf through the middle of a post-apocalyptic world.

Strange, but it feels so smooth and easy to play. It's a good contrast after BG3.

I guess I'll finish BG3, or maybe I'll start it again next year, when I take some days off (if I can).

I have a lot of notes from the John Keel book. I disagree with 99% of the information, but I have to admit it's gold for my project.

When I finish the book, I'll look for some information online to check the places and find out more about them. Sounds fun to me.

I don't know if I told you, but I installed Linux on my laptop because I couldn't install Windows 11, so I decided to give Linux a try.

I discovered that Linux isn't so good when you need to do something on Spanish government websites. Pages don't load, they don't recognize the documents I try to upload...

Aside from that, I'm happy with the change, even if I can't use Photoshop. Even so, I'll try to use a portable version with Wine.

The Ren'Py editor is the same, and I have the feeling the laptop works better with it, but who knows? We'll see if I run into any problems and whether they're easy to fix. :::

The song...

I liked this song back in teh day, but know, understanding the lyrycs I like it even more.

Sonata Arctica - Blank File

Take care and keep safe guys.
