It should be considered false advertisement
So, I needed a new mouse since the scroll wheel died on my 6€ made in China, 50% off special (so it was 3€); to be honest the wheel died long ago, it’s just that I’m in the mood to play with 3D modelling again and having no scroll wheel is shitty.
Anyway…
(320 words of nothing)
So today…
…having nothing better to do, I finally downloaded Ren’Py and started playing around with it.
The downloading part I’ve done some…10 times by now.
But I never actually started putting something together.
Yesterday before going to sleep I spent an hour or so writing a bit (as I love to, although I rarely do it nowadays); some ideas, basic premise, a bit of dialogue.
A basic layout of the endings (3 good, 1 neutral, 4 bad).
Today I grabbed some sounds for the scene I wrote, mocked a background and went at it with Ren’Py…
So I guess I’m making a VN now. Yay, me!
Another project to end up in the garbage bin in two or three months. Because I haven’t had any of those in the last years.
Or will I finish this one?
Who knows…
Suddenly…many survival games.
Really, out of nowhere there’s a wave of survival games (some more realistic and complex, others a bit less complex, but survival games nonetheless)
That I can recall right now:
- The long dark
- The forest
- Stranded deep
And there are probably more, I just haven’t come across them.
Small rant: State of Decay
This is just a really quick, simple rant.
State of Decay is probably my favourite zombie video game.
But there is one thing that annoys me in the game, one of those pet peeves you know.
The backpacks.
(yes, this is a very nitpicking rant, I’m only writing because I’m bored.)
Just because all my projects were dropped…
(this post was written in July/August, which means some three months ago. I still haven’t worked much on the project. I’m mostly posting to show I’m still alive)
…it doesn’t mean I don’t still have fun coming up with new ones.
Although I can’t help but feel I’m getting old and so should know better than to come up with all those projects that I don’t intend to ever finish.
Back to 2003/2004, when I first got in my head that I would one day make a video game, at the time I had a friend in school (he’s my game development partner if there ever was one, lol) who was quite the SNES JRPG fanatic (Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Breath of Fire; you know, the classics). Me, on the other hand, while I liked RPGs I hadn’t played many from the SNES days.
This is going to be a bit of a reminiscent, geeky post, so feel free to ignore it.

Rosetta stone, part 2
So, sometime ago I posted about how I was playing around with Rosetta stone to expand my Japanese knowledge. (knowledge…right…)
I dropped it for a while, but today, since I had nothing better to do, I double clicked it and had another go at it.
And BAM! just stumbled into a great example of the whole “it might be good for a baby, but I’m not a baby”.

Nevada-tan is back!
Well, something I rarely do, bring up real world news and comment them. (mostly because it might take me onto discussing my world view and “I don’t wanna!!!”)
If you don’t want to read my opinion, don’t continue.
So here I was…
…random VN in front of me, ready to be played for a random rant later; small A6 notepad on the desk and a blue roller pen hanging from my lips (so…everything as usual)
And a thought occurs: “Oh, this VN caused a good first impression and seems to be a genre that I like! Let me write that down.”
That’s it, I’m weeabooing to the max.
So, by now it’s well established that I’m a bit of a weeaboo (wapanese, whichever you prefer).
But despite the appearances I’m not all that much of a weeaboo (was a bit worse when I was younger), I may enjoy various forms of entertainment media out of Japan (manga, anime, VNs, eroges) and would sincerely love to visit Japan for a month or two (or maybe three or four; between the otaku weeabooing and driving/hiking to the boonies it would be a probably awesome experience…), I’m still very…mild about it.
Screenshot programs.
Hey, as can be seen, I like to cover a wide array of stuff in this site.
This might become a bit of a ever changing post, as I may continue trying new programs as I find limitations on the one I’m using at the moment.
So, in my reviews of VNs, I published some screenshots.
Screencapture software is always a very subjective and broad matter. (strangely, one would think it would be a fairly mundane subject)
