Ever have a moment where its painful how much a bad game has like ONE GOOD IDEA and its totally wasted by the rest of it and like.. NOW NOBODY ELSE WILL EVEN DO THAT ONE GOOD IDEA BETTER COS NOBODY PLAYED THIS DAMN GAME
Not that its easy to say Okage is 'a bad game' though...? like, its objectively a bad GAME. But its an AMAZING story and characters and art style and just its all destroyed by stupid glitches and bad menu design decisions and VOLUME ERRORS ON THE PS4 PORT THAT GAVE ME A HORRIBLE HEADACHE and just MAN BUT I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH BUT I CAN ONLY WATCH LETS PLAYS OF IT BECAUSE IT PHYSICALLY PAINS MY EARS
anyway THE ONE REALLY GOOD THING ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY IN A GAME WHERE THE GAMEPLAY IS THE WORST PART
have a look at it in the boss battle for Phantom Evil King Epros
for no reason except he is my fave and it sucks that he gets the narrative shaft and is only recruitable as a party member in THE VERY FINAL PART OF THE GAME and misses all the earlier bonding moments
(this footage comes from this LP here: lparchive.org/Okage-Shadow-Kin… )
So yeah here you can see how damn cluttered the menus are and how wild the camera is and how overcranked certain characters's animations are for no reason. (Tho admittedly it makes Kisling even funnier!)
But also you might have seen how THE ANIMATIONS GO IN REAL TIME
Like... what?? How did they think of that?? Its such a minor change yet it looks so cool and stylish??
Battles aren't real time but they are but they aren't. There's no form of pausing after you make your attack before the ATB starts filling up again. And it doesn't really affect anything or have any real purpose but it just looks pretty cool to see multiple characters still doing thier attacks from earlier, and the battle scene freezing all matrix style mid-animation when you get your next turn!
Buuuuut then it also REALLY DOESNT WORK TO ITS FULLEST EXTENT cos we already have a battle system thats a mess of confusing menus and barely any tutorials and a manual that contains false badly translated info And a camera perspective that's too zoomed in
So it just makes it even harder to follow what's going on.. gahhh...
But also like if you remade the battle system into something better you'd lose the Cool Camera Thing and seriously I love it aaaaaaaa
if I could somehow make that happen in rpgmaker I'd love to do a fangame
but seriously how would you even explain that if you're looking for a programmer and stuff? like.. 'continuous battle animation style' or.. something?? 'LOOK FOR THE OCCASIONAL MATRIX THING'?
also how could i rewrite the plot to let you get Epros earlier when his status as a last second recruit is pretty justified in the plot but also HES SUCH A COOL AND CUTE CIRCUS GHOST GUY
also he needs a revamp cos seriously wtf he uses magic in his fight with you, he's literally immune to physical attacks, his status screen says MYSTERIOUS WIZARD yet he has a magic stat of zero
also did you know him and kisling didn't get action figures
also did you know THIS GAME HAD ACTION FIGURES
aaaaaa the crime of japan monopoly merchadise, why u no import any the thing

Okay feeling a lot less optimistic
God damn nooooo like right when I was starting to get optimistic about rejoining dA I've heard more about this AI art stuff and that I'd have to manually opt-out on every single one of 1600 deviations AND fill out a form that I can't fill out because it requires the email you registered your account with and that literally doesnt exist anymore, it was my school email from over a decade ago and people are saying the writing of the terms and conditions looks sus and it seems it can't actually guarantee your art wont be used in AI, its just including a note attatched to it requesting AI art services to not do it and relying entirely on the honor of the people using it auuuuuughhhhh so like.... the only way to be fully guaranteed to escape it all is to just delete my account I don't wanna do that I have so many years of memories!!! I'm gonna just try and not do anything rash yet, I'm gonna wait and watch and see if deviantart changes their rules and improves stuff, but then if its not
Interest in Dr Snap fanart?
Oh also, if I start posting here again, the vast majority of the art I've made over the last few years has been fanart of the character Dr Snap/Dr Snapped from dragon quest monsters joker. So I dunno if I should post that here or try and dig thru my art folder and only find original arts or fanarts of characters i'd already posted on deviantart before? ...hrrm, idk, they did just release Dr Snapped in a new app game so I'm likely gonna draw even more fanart of him now haha. Hard to fight that hype! So it might be best to upload all my previous stuff so people have context? I DUNNOOOOOOO I'm gonna just go upload a completely random something, idk
WAIT, JOURNALS STILL EXIST???
Okay this changes the whole game, holy shit. Last time i tried to start using deviantart again I felt super discouraged by it seeming that journals no longer existed and we could only do status updates, and the notifications interface was also really hard to access. Honestly I loved being able to write big journals of my thoughts on stuff, its the thing ive missed the most while using twitter! (that and actually being able to archive all my previous images in an easy to access place, geez twitter why u eat my pics to the algorithm void) Also huh you can add pictures to journals and other formatting?? And even a title image?? HECK YEAH Okay darn gonna cross my fingers on how this whole AI thing pans out, really hoping it won't be a Site Ruiner like whats happening on twitter right now cos damn it would be nice to have a place to return to if twitter dies I think though if I do return here I need to do a big cleanup of my gallery and previous journals, because there's some stuff that I
