I feel like I'm on the low part of the rollercoaster that is my feelings on Twilight Aqua City. Hopefully?
Because Hozumi's routes were...meh. I thought the pacing was all over the place, and the "trauma" backstory didn't feel impactful like it should have. The writer tried playing two characters as opposite to each other, but I don't know... The bad end CG also was like, I get it, this is a bad end, but also you could have written a better one especially I don't see Hozumi doing that based on the rest of the route, he's not the type to [redacted]???
So I was like ah this nice 7/10 game with gorgeous art and not difficult language last post and now I'm like, this 5/10 game...if you are just going to localize on art we already have sorcerer's choice angel or demon. So uh...less excited now.
Although I am holding out that Souma route will give me the most of what I want. But we'll see. I do wonder with this first-time scenario writer (they aren't linked to anything else that I know of?) that they were trying to copy what the main writer of holicworks BLVN does, and while I disagree with the "politics" (or lack of really taking any stand, which makes it fall flat imo) from Nakajou Rosa, the writing itself by her was significantly better even in my least favorite routes. So it just means I need to find the least political of her works and enjoy the fuck of it instead? Tokyo Satsujinki here I come...?
Quantity over quality though is how I'm feeling right now, and perhaps after this I need something short and snappy (and possibly much more fucked up, if I decide to play Paradise next instead of aim ai).

I NEED TO MAKE A POST AAAAAAAA I constantly get stuck thinking of long posts and then they seem like too much work and I never do them!! I just have to do shorter ones and get them out there!! Bleaaghhhh
In stars-aligning type news, I've been doing a lot of good work on the next Vargas chapter! It was the Vargas anniversary like a week ago, which is one I constantly forget even though I usually try to keep track of this stuff. I had this really old meme I started in Flash ages ago I'd just found again, so I figured finishing that up would be something. So I did! I'd matched it to the source video so it's at a WAY higher framerate than usual, so Scri's little breakdance looks surprisingly smooth. It's also on Youtube if the Flash version isn't working for some reason. It should though, I have Ruffle set up so you can get the full experience! I used Swivel to convert it for Youtube which was so much easier than some other things I've had to do to get Flash videos into a workable format. I love the UI of Swivel, it's so dramatic and colorful and unique. I'm sick of the current minimalism trend in programs! Give me more elaborate UIs!
Oh right, Vargas chapter! Anyway, did a lot of good work the past few days smoothing out a lot of more tangled or awkward bits that had been bugging me for a while. I'm going to cut the chapter in half I think and just focus on getting this first part done and out. It's still like 20k so it's lengthy but it's more managable and it's at a good breaking point. It's been almost five years since the last update which is way too long lol. If I hadn't hurt my arm I'd be more on schedule! Or so I tell myself, anyway. I'd like to get it done before May... I'm mostly doing small adjustments with each pass now. I need to email my beta and see if she's still up for taking a look at it... god, 23 years, can you believe it? It's crazy to have characters 23 years old that still show up with some regularity that I still think about and write stuff for, haha. Even if there are long gaps, they're always going to be there. The number doesn't feel real to me at all. |D I wonder how many readers are younger than the fic itself at this point...?
It's still crazy to me how invested people get in the fic since it's so bizarre and long and complicated. It's so hard to pitch to people! And yet it seems to snag people and draw them in...
