Kurotsune

Just a small little short I felt like writing. Not much to say about it. Thoughts?

I approach, not really sure how to start this conversation - if it can even be called that - and yet with aching need for it nonetheless. "Well, hi." I speak in a hushed whisper under my breath. "It's been a while." I look around awkwardly, feeling a stab of shame even as I observe several others engaging in similar kinds of conversations around me. "I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm doing; I've no idea how to even start this!" I laugh, as if I had made a joke. No response; Not that I expected one, anyway. "Things have... Changed, you know? Though in a way, they haven't at all. I'm still the same hot-headed fool I've always been, marching in crusades against foes far too big for me to take down in the name of my own twisted senses of morality and ethics. That said, I guess they have changed, too - I've gotten promoted. Quite a few times, actually, since the last time we spoke. I'm no longer a bumbling intern trying to make ends meet and still save money to take their girlfriend into expensive trips they should in no way be able to afford; Well, I guess the only two things that have changed since then is that now I can afford them, and have no girlfriend to take. Work's been pretty much the same, you know? Same people, same faces. Same tasks... It's starting to get boring. I often wondered how long this would keep my attention, anyway, and we both know I'm the type who whimsically discards anything that fails to catch my interest. I've been thinking of moving away. Getting a breath of fresh air... Maybe even leave the country, I don't know. I just feel like there isn't anything left for me here, though I've my doubts if there's anything left for me anywhere. There doesn't seem to have been since you." I steel myself, speaking in small, ragged breaths. "Which I guess brings us to the main point. I miss you." I gaze deep, trying to find something I know not to be there. "I've missed you ever since. I don't know if I can continue living without you, and considering I already feel dead inside, I'm almost certain I can't. There hasn't been a day I haven't thought of ending it, of finishing this endless torment rather than trying to exist in the eye of the storm. Yet rationality wins out. I know we can't be together anymore, and likely never again. It's not fair to me to torture myself in this manner. It's not fair to you." I smile, my oft-praised yet fragile composure shattered. I try to continue my speech, my sharp breathing akin to daggers in my throat, yet the tears roll freely at this point. "I just wish I knew what to do. How to fix what can't be fixed." Minutes pass, my words spoken half-slurred half-sobbed, almost unintelligible, and utterly meaningless. It's almost half an hour before I can breathe calmly again. It feels like more. "I can't believe it's been seven years. It feels like just yesterday I saw your smile, and at the same time, it feels so far away. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of forgetting you, of soon not remembering the sweet contralto of your voice, how it strained humorously when you tried to sing, and so many little other details I cherish as if little pieces of you I keep within myself. I wish you were alive." As I admit the fact, I stare at the gravestone for what it feels like ages. I stand, gathering myself, trying to regain as much of the tatters of my composure as I can before I depart. Wiping the tears off of my face, I throw back one last glance before I leave. "See you next year."

That wouldn't be scripting. You have something called "Scripting updates", which is at 90%... #################### | Scripting Updates (90%)And the other stuff is all part of actual gamebuilding/worldbuilding/etc.

The reason why those are being implemented is because I've nothing else to implement on my end until chapter 15 is released. So it's being done exactly because there's time. That said, the poll is now closed! I thank everyone who participated. I will save the results and compile a post commenting on them later, but for now, the poll's been removed from the main post.

Uh... Scripting's been nearly done for ages.

The imperial foxes are all that's keeping the thalmor from taking your lands. I mean, who'd side with Ulfric anyway? Dude's a racist jerk.

You are everything I hate in humanity.

That's because the Foxening was about you humans playing dress-up. This is not about conversion, it is about submission. About a reckoning that's been a long-time coming. For too long my people have been seen as default anime kawaii-desu character material. For too long we have been mocked as merely side-characters or mere providers of entertainment. That time is over. Now it is the time of the uprising. It is the time that I take what is rightfully mine. This is not a conversion. This is armageddon. This. Is the afoxalypse.

I've entertained the idea of adding an optional auto-save feature that saves every time you change maps, but I feel like that's a discussion for another time.

The poll has been slightly fiddled with.

'S a shame I have no free time 'cause I'd be very interested in helping out. Well, if y'all need any type of advice on coding and the sort, feel free to ask. Otherwise, keep up the good work. I'll be observing how this develops with a lot of interest.

While I agree manual back-ups are already possible, I'm going to say it's impossible to remember to create your backups every single time. The save system won't ever forget.

I'm going to ask everyone who supports this idea to let me know by either upvoting Jericho's post or explicitly saying so. Done.

The poll is now closed! Thanks to everyone who's participated. These were our results, with my commentaries on each of them: Would you prefer multiple backup files or only one? Multiple files (18 votes [41.86%]) One file per character (You'd have to swap manually) (25 votes [58.14%]) I'm kind of surprised at this outcome. I'd personally have voted for multiple files, myself. One file per character means I'll have a lot less work to do, which means the system will be done a lot faster. It also means the system can easily be revisited and only need minor alterations to work with multiple files too, so it's a great option to start with. Would you prefer the files to be in the same folder or have multiple folders for things like different trainers? Multiple folders (22 votes [51.16%]) Single folder (21 votes [48.84%]) I'll be vetoing this answer due to the simple fact it makes zero sense to have one file per character and several folders; Creating a folder merely to place one file doesn't really make a lot of sense, does it? Would you like an automatic load backup system, or are you fine with doing manual backups? Automatic system (19 votes [44.19%]) Manual system (24 votes [55.81%]) I'm even more surprised by this one. Without the necessity of an automatic backup system, things can be finished a lot faster. Would you like the backup save files to contain details about the playthrough, such as name, time, map, etc? Yes (36 votes [83.72%]) No (7 votes [16.28%]) This one I expected. Follow-up to the above question, which information would you like within the save file? Pick three. (Please only vote here if you've chosen "Yes" above) Trainer Name (34 votes [29.82%]) Trainer ID (10 votes [8.77%]) Current Map (18 votes [15.79%]) Current Playtime (18 votes [15.79%]) Current Badges (28 votes [24.56%]) Click me if you voted "No" in question 4 (6 votes [5.26%]) Since map and playtime have gotten an even split, I've decided to try to add both at first. So the files will look like this: "Kurotsune - Peridot Ward - 13 Badges - 10:45.rxdata" The original reason I said to pick three wasn't due to a limitation as much as it was to avoid cluttering the files too much. Since - at least to me - it doesn't look like adding both badges and playtime will make it too cluttered, I think it's fine. Would you prefer to have the features chosen to be implemented released at once, or one at a time? One at a time. (20 votes [46.51%]) All at once. (23 votes [53.49%]) Aye aye, cap'n! Well, I'd like to once again thank everyone who voted. At 44 votes we've nearly over 30% of the community, which gives me a really good percentage to work with. This system may be revisited in the future after more feedback is received, but for now, this thread has served it's purpose.

A complex mix of every language ever invented. It sounds slightly like this: One of your kin got close to deciphering it, which is why he was allowed to don our visage.

That said I'm 100% down with this and greatly appreciate the support it has gotten, from either sides.

If I recall correctly, my vote counts for five.

Ah, so this has been asked. Fair enough. I will let you know the true meaning of the dreaded Afoxalypse. Many eons ago, you see, I decided to support a feeble human girl with monetary funds for her future game. She repaid me in the form of virtual hyrulean currency. Today, I have grown tired of said gemstones. What use is there of a gem that sparkles but I cannot see, that is beautiful but whose visage eludes me? Therefore I decided to spend said gemstones in the purchase of items and through them distribute unrelenting despair among your inferior species. (TL;DR I had a lot of leftover money and wanted to spend it, everything else happened mostly while I was asleep)

I'm very pleased at this development. Also notice Amethyst sides with us.

I trust you know what to do, Yako. Shall we have some fun?

Ah, Zenko. Do try to keep your sister under control, will you? You remember what happened last time.
