So... about that font... hehe...

So... Hi, Aero (main rom hacker of the BOX patch) here. as I said in my last post I would have my English font for BOX finished by the end of the month, well, I have ran into SO MANY issues that it has made it almost next to near impossible to edit. like the font length and width, While I have more then enough space for all the characters, since the font uses both Hiragana Katakana and a bit of Kanji the length, BUT the width size for the characters are too small for Regular English characters, while I was able to bypass it for awhile just by sizing down the English characters, but that did not work when I got to adding "W" It would look lowercase when I would size it down, and, well, I needed it uppercase, so I've been at work debugging (and still am) for god knows how long. I am not done, not even close. but there have been some... funny result's tho

As you can see, I still have a long ways to go with this font. this patch is also coming up on it's 1 year anniversary of this patch being work on (aka June) which is crazy cause it feel like it's been longer. let's hope the full English will be done and ready and we can get to translating the story, which will be a whole new journey after that with... P̴̡̲̰̣͇̠̀̔̀̍̈́͝o̴̜̙̣̦̺̹͇͐i̸̡̛͓̞͕͇͇̐͛̈́̊n̶̠͌͐̽̀̿̀͌̕͠ẗ̸͚̥́͂̓́́͊͌͘͝ẹ̷̦̎͑͂̈́̚r̴͓̗̫̼͛͛͊s̴̝̅͠. which sure will be a really fun thing to work with when I have to get to that. but yeah. I guess I am probably gonna be posting more monthly or so. Idk when I will be posting again. idk when I will finish that font. could be tomorrow, could be next week, could be in an hour. but idk. hope it's soon. well, see y'all again soon!

Update

Hi everybody, been a little bit, my last post was like what? 3 or so months ago, I had been quite busy since that last post, sorry about that my mental had been all out of whack since like late November so I could not really work on the BOX patch for a little bit, but I can now! so yeah, I'm back, sorry for the wait. I will probably finally finish the font later this month or so (at least I hope). But yeah I'm back! Anyways here are some screenshots of stuff I did work on while I was gone

Most of it is tile stuff but I was also doing some work on the title screen

Well, that's it, see yall later

I need help deciding something about the credits of Puyo Puyo BOX

So we all know about this amazing art of Arle in the Puyo BOX credits. Well I kinda wanna replace it with my sona as a nice silly way to credit myself. but I'm not sure if that's the best of choices. so I'm asking y'all! so would y'all rather I just keep the silly Arle drawing or replace it?

Keep the Arle drawing or replace it?

Keep it

Replace it

I have did it all

I have found where all the text is at, the new English font is almost done, we have entered the translation phase of the quest mode. and also Puyo Tsuu character bio text has been also been extracted, and not just that, most of the text in the menu, and a bunch of other text and assets have been figured out, this patch has entered full development! I just wanted to thank everyone who has been here since the start, post are still gonna be a lot slower since I got to lock in, only thing I have yet to figure out is Puyo 1 text sys. btw I am still looking for help to get the project done sooner, so share the pined post around to your modding friends, or even this post

I have did it. the Puyo Box patch has entered full development.... Time to lock in
