Memories in Sepia fun fact.

Memories in Sepia has 8000 weapons no repeats. (I need to add secret weapons so I could advertise “ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!”
I am not kidding… Some are more effective then others, some may have the same base stats, but a sharp silver sword could be more effective to certain enemies over a rusty steel sword even though their stats are the same. - not actually true but an example.

Is it strange… having 8000 weapons is easier then making say 80 - my original number.

oh yeah btw… there are 8 weapon types. Ranging from Spears, to Axes, Mauls, even early Muskets. So think 1000 types of each.

Now should I tell the players the stats or have them guess by some flavor text?

Rewriting some bits

Shouldn’t be to hard. It’s mostly the title screen.
Turns out at 30fps faster moving objects look… ugly to put it nicely…
Oh ok I’ll say it. at full screen The thing looked choppy as hell and it looked like the object was 2 places at once. It made me feel a little sick…

So bumping it up to 60 fps

Atari Fun fact.

Atari had only one handheld console. It’s called the “Atari Lynx”. It was made in 1989.
It was the first console to have hardware sprite scaling. (aka the ability to stretch/zoom into a sprite built into the system which could be used for a “3D” effect.)

It is also debatably the most powerful handheld console till 2001, when the Gameboy Advance came out.

3DS perma saves

Thats right some 3DS games have permanent saves (aka you cant restart the game)
This would be ok for an arcade game where all the perma save is a highscore. But it still be nice to be able to reset the score.

There is an RPG that supposedly has this, which I find a really shitty idea specially if that RPG has multi endings or choices you make that actually affect the game!

I’ll be honest this is the stupidest idea Ive ever heard of. You know people will hate your game for doing that. Also if you ever make a sequel, well if it’s passed 2 years I won’t remember the exact story, and Oh goodness I can’t play the game again to get myself hyped for a sequel!

However it turns out you CAN delete your saves. Just the developer decided to hide it. Wanna know how? Corrupt your save file. Dev are smart though so the classic pull you game out while its saving wont work. You need to buy a device that is not licessed nor endorsed by Nintendo. extract your save file. delete some lines of the code. and flash the save into the game.

All this because they want to prevent used game sales *slow clap* Well I truly hope that you have a name for the series and yourselves because If I don’t buy the first game now, and a sequel comes out I probably won’t buy the sequel.

Oh and btw. The device that lets your corrupt your save files… can pirate your games rom file most likely. Congrats by trying to stop used game sales you are giving people reason to buy pirating tools.

My mom got this weird pillow that one side ALWAYS remains cold…

This is actually really cool - no pun intended.
I am curious how it works, but I always did flip pillows to the cold side.
Also its a really comfy pillow.

Been buggin me.

The ending to Memories. I have it all written out, Its the best ending to the story, and from I recall does stay true to the source material.

There is one quote I want to use as the lines before the credits. However this quote is from an unreleased game, and the company that was making the game is completely defunct. I wouldn’t know if I could contact the full team/writer whoever I could contact.

I also have fallen in love with a tune from that game that Id love to also use… I think I can contact the composer. But alas have no budget, and even then am to far from the ending of the game to really be thinking to much about it….
