Itchio is re-listing the games they delisted after the backlash, including Our Love is Electrifying. The games they've relisted are only the free games, so no celebrating yet. Not happy about the lack of transparency and suspending/delisting games without warning. Not cool. Don't get me started on the absolute wankers responsible... on the behalf of downunder I apolosige for collective shit's (shout) existance. My country has severely outdated censorship laws, with a shameful history. Embarassing that I share a country with that group.
Also fuck the payment processers that fold like toilet paper lmao. Corps are getting way to comfortable encroaching on literally everything. Are you tired of being nice?
Anyways, sorry I got a bit side tracked, here's the OLiE update!
Spoilers!!!
Lots of art, like a LOT
I've also been working on improving my art :3
and I can't show much of it sadly, beeeeeeg ol' spoilers
I will say y'all have no idea how hyped I am to get this damn update out!
little animations too, I hope to make more intricate animations! They're just really hard because I am NOT an animator, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing-
Learnt how to code two things that will lower the size of the game and I can get rid of unessecary assets.
One thing I finally learnt took me AGES, but I got it now and it's amazing. I've figured out how to code an alpha mask animated, you basically have to do each frame individually. Instead of like 6 different images for every single shiny button in OLiE it's just one image moving over the hidden button with transforms. That sounds simple but not with alpha masks aparently!!! (Probably-definitely a simpler, much less stupid way to do it lol)
I don't remember the other thing, but I'm sure it was totally super cool! My brain is goop, there's a lot going on all the time, forgive me.
Another code thing I've done is switched around sanity so it can be compared to MC's other variables. For some stupid reason past me decided that sanity would start at high and decrease, and everything else would start at zero and build up with choices. Nope, they all build up over time now, and can be compared to each other, if that makes any sense, adsfsdfsdfsd
I've been doing alright personal life wise at least! Things are really coming together :3 prescribed HRT the day YKMET came out which I think is really fucking funny.
...And again July rhymes with Art fight!
Second week and
The pace has slowed down a bit (“life's ups and downs”). I'm happy to have been able to make my first fanart for Kactiikitty's OLIE. And another attack for Beetlesinthebark. I can only recommend that you check out the work of these two people!
See you next week!
If I had a nickel for everytime I simped for a blonde haired boy...id have four nickels! Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened that many times
