@Memoryofusall @Nyaomix_ @Evanit0 That's not exclusive to Vtubers, tho. Some content creators go travelling, host events, schedule collabs etc. And some just barely react to TikToks all day. The 'type' of streamer doesn't matter - it's down to you judge if an individual is doing shit you enjoy watching.

@Nyaomix_ @Evanit0 What I mean by cash grab, you can get ai to animate the character. Get ai to animate your speech. You can literally automate this in every way possible. To those that spend that much to vr, I’d say more of an expense but this can be more about a long run discussion.

As scuffed as it may be, Kai Cenat using a Vtuber model tonight in front of over 200,000 people is a good thing. He is showing his audience who have probably never seen this medium before the joys of streaming the way you want. This is the good ending.

Jesus fucking christ Arcane what are you doing to me

Also my cat.

Just finished the detailed synopsis for code.breach, blocking out the full game. My brains are SNOOZING now, let me tell ya. Check out the demo here: studiongf.itch.io/codebreach-demo

Initial impressions of Gallica are that she's way less annoying that Morgana was in Persona 5. Hopefully she won't end up telling me to go to bed every five fucking minutes.

Oh, we actually get Persona's? Metaphor Refantazio is straight-up fantasy Persona? I am hilariously down for this, chums. It's like Atlus concentrated thier formula to appeal to me specifically.

WHY ARE ALL THE ELVES ESSEX LADS THIS IS SUPERB

Five minutes into Metaphor: Refantazio and there's an elf with a cockney accent. I massively approve.

Yo, I did the thing. Introducing my visual novel project: CODE.BREACH Proof-of-concept demo is available now, with big ol' disclaimers. Windows or Mac packages available. :) studiongf.itch.io/codebreach-demo

HEY FRIENDS! Just out of curiousity... Would anyone on here be interested in playtesting a visual novel demo at some point in the next week or two? If so, DM me your email address for more info. :) (Now a shameless cat picture to get your attention.)

Just playtested my VN demo from start to finish without encountering any crashes or obvious bugs. Very happy right now. :)

Project update! - Demo script is 100% complete - Art is 90% complete, mostly just fussing over minor details - Handful of soundtrack loops are currently being reviewed - All puzzles are working correctly - A branching narrative path has been implemented and is working correctly

More bakeries should leave their pain au chocolats resting too close to the bacon tray. Trust me, it works.

Spent a whole day working out why a character animation could be skipped, leaving them off screen. And then England won the football so fuck all that, YAAAAAAAAYYYY!

Project update! - Visual novel script is finished for the demo - Art assets are roughly 90% done - Puzzles are complete and working (yay!) - Scenes are being slowly pulled together Stay tuned for desperate pleas for playtesters in the next couple of weeks. :)

My Chinese missus asked me to point out that a guy on Talksport has a tattoo in Chinese of his ex-wife's name, and apparently it's shit.

@Chantefuzz Always my surname then spell it to avoid the third E most people add at the end. I don't even pause these days.

Me always pronouncing my full name as a question whenever someone asks for it cause I am already expecting them to ask me to repeat it or spell it

Is it a sign of how much work I've done this week that I briefly forgot the word 'I'm' is capitalised, and had to Google it to check?

Tools like ChatGPT are a godsend for idiots like me, who possess a miniscule understanding of writing code. Just the opportunity to ask it endless dumb questions without the tool growing impatient, bored or frustrated with me is so useful.
