  1. Tried making a chase scene, ended up breaking the entire chapter. How did THAT happen?!

      After some trial and error, I've (hopefully) managed to unbork it and get it working properly. Yaay!

  2. You know you've messed up web design and bad when even your own userbase cannot browse your site without getting violent migraines and vertigo.

      Seriously... I can't even go on the new deviantart anymore without getting violently sick. Whelp, time to move to Pixiv.

  3. Okay, I get it. Kamikakushi's not my best game, I know. We can't all defend our first (finished and published) game. I guess I was wrong to assume people knew about Japanese and Korean mythology...

     

    Here's hoping You, Me and Nothing More doesn't alienate our target demographic.

      The main complaint I get is that the portraits are too "modern" for post WW2 Japan. I've been trying to find face portraits for both Ueno and Yamazawa that don't make them look like brothers. And since the site I get my portraits from has a strict rule about recoloring, I can't do too much about that.

  4. Eh? There is an anime about a team of adventurers in a fantasy world who basically do reviews of girls of various fantasy species who work in brothels? WHY WAS I NOT TOLD OF THIS SOONER!?

      What anime is this? I may have to check it out...

  5. Yay, I made a sprite... of a sprite!

    You see, sprites are fairy-like nature spirits. This one is a cute nature spirit of autumn!

     

    Edit: Better side animation, no ember things.

  6. I'm at my wit's end. I've lost sleep, starved myself, sacrificed so much time and energy to two friends of mine and they never once returned the favor.

     

    Should I cut ties and kick them off my proverbial planet? I don't know anymore.

      I've made up my mind. I'm going to communicate that there's a problem and if it's not solved? Cassius deportation.

       

      Only problem is how to verbalize it.

  7. Finally got some progress done before it started storming. I make a habit to never program during a thunderstorm. I found that out the hard way when I lost all the dialogue I had during MoS's post-game final boss. 😰

  8. Oof... That's what I get for letting depression run my decisions. Deleted all traces of one puzzle in my game.... =3= Then again, I'm still 100% unsure whether or not to have in there in the first place.

    1. TobiObito4ever

      Managed to decrypt the files from Kamikakushi version 1.0 and get the doll puzzle back. That's one less hurdle for me~

  9. The one person who wants to translate Kamikakushi and I accidentally misclick and lose their contact info completely. FML...

    1. TobiObito4ever

      TobiObito4ever

      The crisis has been averted. They contacted me back... Thank goodness... =w=

       

      Now to actually motivate my butt to crank out that update.

      It was one of the better (if not the best) video game movie I've seen. The plot is geared more towards kids, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. (I'm a kid at heart).

       

      I personally enjoyed all the minute details, such as the cameo of Red and Candela and the Dialga, Palkia and Arceus statue in one character's office.

  11. Yes, people. I'm aware Kamikakushi sucks. We can't all defend our first piece of creative writing/gaming. (Even though, technically it's not my first game)
     
    Besides, the game is loosely based off an actual horror story out there. One I didn't write. I am planning on cranking out an update that fixes all the errors and revises the dialogue, so I beg of you:
     
    Please. Stop. Telling me. That I suck. Or you won't get anymore games from me.

      Here's the kicker: Hisame's actually the *GOOD* guy. He lost his eye in a scuffle against the main villain of the story.

      Calling a legit blind god a chuunibyou, criticizing the face graphics (I'm fixing it, goddammit), the villain's too predictable (again, the revised dialogue fixed that), why there's a Korean kumiho in an otheriwse Japanese setting (he's a fugitive on the lamb), why the clothes look modern-ish for a post ww2 Japan (not everyone wore kimonos, y'know)... Things like that.

       

      It's almost making me go "what's the point of updating a game some people hate?" even though there are those who like the bittersweet story.

  13. So many ideas, but none fit yet... I've been reading a bunch of horror stories to try and inspire me.

     

    Protip: do NOT look up Korean urban legends. I consider myself an avid horror fan, but this gets a hard "NOPE" from me.

      Funny you say that. My GF and I are working on a comediac RPG game that subverts/parodies a LOT of anime tropes based off our manga of the same name. It's a bit too spicy for RPG dot net, so the finished project will probably be on our itch.io page.

  15. Hrrrrm.... How do I fix the doll puzzle in Kamikakushi without making it too obscure....

    1. TobiObito4ever

      TobiObito4ever

      The question is... what would the reward for an optional puzzle be? More backstory in the omake room? Bonus art?

       

      Maybe I should have went with the idea of the doll being a key? "I want to see my daughter again..."

      Also added a bit of developer's foresight. If you backtrack AFTER EVADING THE SERIAL MURDERING FOX DEMON ON YOUR TAIL, you INSTANTLY get the Bad End.

      I did manage to make the music box puzzle a tad harder. One playtester suggested I scratch off the music box labels so the tune title's hard to make out. Done and done!

      Not so much borked as TOO easy. I practically give away the solution plain as day.

       

      At first it was too obscure. Now, it's TOO easy. Vicious cycle.

    Kamikakushi is now 100% finished! FINALLY! It feels like so long... Thank you for being patient with me.

    As always, please tell me if you encounter any errors I may have missed.

    Without further ado, please enjoy this tale of youkai. Fufufu~

    Was playing around a bit and created a nice firefly effect in game. I personally love how it turned out. 😮 It's kinda hard to tell from a static image, but the fireflies move around.

    1. TobiObito4ever

      TobiObito4ever

      @Kayzee I have the glowing orbs set to fly around a bit diagonally. Since the original image didn't allow 4 way movement, I kinda had to put direction fix on so it looks like a firefly.

  21. I did read one short story I thought would make a rather interesting game plotbunny: basically, some Joe Schmoe wakes up in his own apartment with amnesia because of an incident that happened several months prior.

     

    Now, here's the interesting part: his amnesia relapses whenever he experiences intense stress. So he's in a constant samsara of remembering and forgetting his wife's murder. Or maybe that's just my love of fine mystery/horror speaking.

      I can't say I ever heard of that Memento movie either. Maybe the author was inspired by it, who knows?

      Yup. A friend of mine linked an Inkling avatar maker in a chat I lurk at. Several of my friends, my girlfriend included, got in on the fun. :D

  23. Goodness, the fae folk are terrifying. There's a lot of potential for horror games there in those stories...

  24. Boog... I'm drawing a blank when it comes to how to revise one doll puzzle in game. I don't want to axe it, but I can't think of any ideas that hasn't been done before or make sense with the setting (1940's Japan) and fit the whole Japanese mythology theme.

      @Kayzee the clue to the doll puzzle was in the doll room next to the large creepy doll. Man, I really need to make that more noticeable...

      cCJh0Lm.png

       

      Though, I have to admit... In its current stage, it's pretty obscure and just says the dates WHEN they were killed as a clue instead of describing the murdered kid.

       

      EDIT Aaaaaaand, done. Now, the diary describes the murdered kids (with the doll flavor text to match).

      Basically, you have to decapitate the dolls in a certain order. (Trust me, it makes sense in context)

       

      Part of me was wondering if I should make the puzzle a bit easier and having the clue being the killer describing the victim (dolls) in great detail.
