And that flashy, glitch mess at the end... is probably caused by a bank value being wrong, and incorrectly-formatted, unterminated text being drawn, which overflows the tilemap into other parts of RAM, and eventually consumes the entire game...

I don't know exactly how I'll tackle that yet. .-.;;; It's part of a few lines that required extra work, so I left them out when formatting the rest of the menu text...

I've already fixed one of those bugs (extra spaces in names), which was caused because I didn't bugtest my code when I originally wrote my variable-width font code, and a register got clobbered. ^^;;;

The dialog boxes that I didn't recognize are actually character-specific dialogue that is in a different format from what the game expects there, so that's why they are completely broken. I'll look for those code references later, I guess...

flashing, glitchy graphics 

And some other things, well... ... ... >.>;;;;;;;;

I still have lots of work left, I guess...

Well... I have some things working that weren't before, now! ^w^ Almost all menu dialogue has been formatted and inserted, and things look pretty good!

Did you know that it’s a good day to hug your fox? It’s true!

One hundred and seventy-two percent of foxes surveyed* indicated that they are fond of hugs and affection! Also scratching behind their ears!

I can't do math today. 0x649F + 1 is not 0x649A... >.>;;;;;

I'm not even in gamedev and even *I* know Game Development Is Hard.

Any dumb speedrun trick is not the fault of "lazy developers," stop saying that for the love of god, speedrunners.

Show thread

Watching someone speedrun a game called Valley and the runner keeps calling the developers lazy.

STOP 👏 CALLING 👏 DEVELOPERS 👏 LAZY 👏👏👏

Good morning, I'm asleep now... I mean awake... z.z;;;

Okies, I'm falling asleep at my desk, so I think I should sleep for a while, and keep working tomorrow... z.z

Good night, everybody... 💖

I don't even understand how I made this work, but I made it work...!

Poking through system menu dialogue for Itadaki Street 2 tonight. This game does ... weird things sometimes... but at least I'm understanding better how its code is structured.

Then, calmly, everything returned to normal, almost like nothing out of the ordinary had ever happened.

Show thread

It was as if all of Itadaki Street was screaming in unison, in horror of what had happened to their game.

stream advert 

I guess I will stream, at least for a little while.

I'll probably be poking at IDA and figuring out what a particularly suspicious function does, and maybe adding tutorial and menu text into my current patch.

This ... took way longer than it should have, but it's done enough that I can rebuild all the changes I wrote by hand using this patcher program. ^w^

I feel like adding new bits will go much faster now!

Spending this morning labelling stuff in IDA. At least at some point before I had already properly built arrays for what I'm labelling, so I can just run through and give everything names...

(~) 

but yet people always tell me how amazing that is and how they are interested in what I am doing. ./////.

It always leaves me so speechless that I forget that I should be telling them how much I thought what they did was much less useless and wished I could be doing what they were doing instead...
