Haruka now replaces Chitose rather than Saeko for the simple reason of her default job skills make more sense. UI replacement is next.

Matt

Makin’ progress! http://rainbowdash.net/url/876674

There was a Scooby Doo movie a few years back that included a lengthy scene where they intercut a conversation with computer generated shots of the Mystery Machine moving through traffic and that was kind of goofy but at least there was TRAFFIC

Matt

Like the background is a separate render composited behind the car anyway, you could put LITERALLY anything back there

Matt

it always bugs me in animated shows when car scenes involve two characters talking to each other for a minute or more with no stops, no traffic, barely a passing car, just moving in a straight line while the CGI equivalent of a Flintstones background passes behind them. Add an intersection somewhere. Goddamn.

Matt

A shocking amount of it works out of the box by simply unlocking the party leader slot

Matt

-Saeko, and presumably most other characters, have their own dialogue box walla! When speaking to other characters she has sound bites she’ll pull out (“Hey,” “Mhmm?” “I see,” etc). That will make things much easier down the line as I don’t have to edit Kasuga’s.

Matt

-She is mute in most other minigames except Can Quest, where Kiryu’s dialogue is still used even if playing as Ichiban. Very, very weird.
-She… grows when you try to open a locked door??? The animation itself seems to change your scaling factor. It isn’t noticeable as Kiryu/Ichiban as they’re roughly the same height within a few centimeters, but Haruka is much shorter so it’s very obvious. She then shrinks when the animation is done. Very very weird.
-Sprint speed seems to scale to your height. This is Very Bad.

Matt

Weird factoids about playable Haruka:
-she is capable of doing all of Kiryu’s minigames although because she is much shorter some of her animations are a bit weird, IE she doesn’t reach the handlebars in Can Quest. Not sure how easy the fix for those things is because although I COULD tweak the animations, they’re meant to be universal so switching the party leader to anyone else breaks the animations for them.
-she CANNOT play most of Kasuga’s minigames, he takes over for those. Likely has something to do with the game switching to his cutscene model or something like that, I haven’t looked too deep into it yet.

Matt

>replacing Saeko with Haruka works
>giving her her haircut from Yakuza 6 works
>giving her her clothes from Yakuza 6 causes the game to crash.

Wtf

Matt

She’s just a model swap of Saeko… for now. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876671

Saw the Grinch today. Crossed to the other side of the street.

Matt

Alexs Le went from Fluffle Puffposting about anime to being IN those animes… while also grapeposting about them on the side.

Matt

“Suck Up!” is the right way to do a generative AI-based video game. No stolen art assets, no cheap Unreal Marketplace sets with a shoddy text to speech voice actor, just a whole lot of fun attempting to gaslight a neighborhood of ChatGPTs with their own personalities.

Matt

IRL, the expressway actually improved traffic on 66 MASSIVELY, despite the HEFTY ($10+ sometimes!) tolls for taking it. Alas, video game AI makes decisions based on states and known outcomes and 1s and 0s, so it does nothing in the game.

Matt

Cities Skylines 2 is so great, I love how the entire town will all choose one road to drive on so no matter how many new highways you build they will all decide to clog up a suburban street forty miles away because they all decided that is the best way to work

Matt

-Master Chief, you mind telling me why your location is set to New York?
-Sir… I’m accessing PornHub.

Matt

I changed my mind, my new favorite part is Aigis being shadow racist against Teddie

Matt

my favorite part of the Persona 4 anthology is that the returning Persona 3 characters have been flanderized to their most recognizable traits so Akihiko goes from being a smart guy who strives to become stronger to a protein-obsessed meathead with more muscle than brains

Matt

this was the most normal of any of the Trump elections and I’m not stoked about it. On top of being a bad outcome, everything about the election was really, really boring, which is such an insane thing to say about an election where one of the candidates dropped out and the other one kept getting shot by friendly fire

Matt

The Trump voice speaks to me like the Green Goblin mask.

Matt

Can the allies just invade now instead of waiting three years like last time?

Matt

cherry this country man

Matt

Alright Fluffle Puff Fluffle Puff around and find out apple it

Matt

if my local elected texts me one more time about voting I am going to find a way to change my vote because this is obnoxious

Matt

it's a "find a guy overdosed on a toilet in your store" kinda day i guess
