Fernando Damas – Sukeban Games https://log.sukeban.moe Developer Diaries from the Sukeban Staff (mainly just kiri) Sat, 16 May 2020 18:33:46 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 https://log.sukeban.moe/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cropped-twittericon-32x32.png Fernando Damas – Sukeban Games https://log.sukeban.moe 32 32 194775553 I’M STILL HERE https://log.sukeban.moe/2020/05/16/im-still-here/ Sat, 16 May 2020 18:33:46 +0000 http://log.sukeban.moe/?p=187 I am back from forgetting I was supposed to keep these updated due to life happening.

Good stuff tho, the “good shit gonna happen” sort of “life happening”

In the meantime we now have a script to test things out and loose ends have been ironed out. The parser need to be updated to account for that, but we’re getting there.

I’ll go into detail on what the heck I’ve done as I update on other stuff.

I can almost smell comfy content generation.

Around 12 hours of sleep later… https://log.sukeban.moe/2020/04/01/around-12-hours-of-sleep-later/ Wed, 01 Apr 2020 17:23:18 +0000 http://log.sukeban.moe/?p=126 Turned out the error was because some of the code I made yesterday had SOMETHING that made the scriptable pissy and not work. I deleted a good scriptable because I thought it got corrupted. Not the end of the world but an annoyance still.

Been raining all day, no walks today.

Yesterday I found out Soreyuke Marin-chan’s OVAs were not only directed by Masami Obari but animated by Pink Pineapple too. I can’t stop thinking about that since Marin-chan is a bit of a classic for me and that genealogy explains so much. Pink Pineapple is my favorite hentai production house too.

I had vague memories of reading something (was it in TV Tropes?) about Marin-chan’s mangaka getting arrested for living his fantasies with an assistant in a very… not-okay way. I thought I was imagining things but it’s apparently enough of a thing that if you search the alleged headline in Japanese you get directed to…. a ton of dead links and one heated note on his Wikipedia article.

I deleted PlayMaker from the project. I’m happy I got such a cool tool on discount but it’s also a cool tool I’m not using anyways.

Also it turns out the scriptable that holds the sprites crashed because, within a for loop, I was using an if without an else and adding an empty else fixed it.

Interestingly I couldn’t make it into a switch since switches require a constant value for each case (so providing it with “thing” is fine, but providing it thing where thing is the name of a variable, is not).

Actually, turns out it’s because the scriptable didn’t have its script attached to it for some reason.

Remember kids, the biggest source of issues in computer things lies between the keyboard and the chair.

By the end I thought I was a hummingbird of some kind https://log.sukeban.moe/2020/03/31/by-the-end-i-thought-i-was-a-hummingbird-of-some-kind/ Tue, 31 Mar 2020 14:04:34 +0000 http://log.sukeban.moe/?p=119 I’ve been running on like 4 hours of sleep all day. Sleep wouldn’t come and I had an appointment at like 12 so I was ready to make a run for it before they asked me to delay till 2PM which gave me the chance to have proper lunch. Ended up watching subbed Otogibara Era videos while at it. The most surefire way to my heart is a girl with absolutely zero filter and a dirty mind apparently.

Gym today was leg day, nothing of note today there aside from the gym being quieter these days.

As for work, today I added more warnings to the code. They’re less of an eyesore than regular prints everywhere. I also updated the eye section of the sprites with new code.

Unity found it funny to throw a random error today that made the scriptable lose everything I had assigned to it even though it was working yesterday. In theory the eye section of the sprite is gone done refactored, but it ain’t worth shit if you don’t have something working.

Problem for tomorrow. Again, 4 hours of sleep.

I postponed tomorrow’s Japanese lesson for next week, I should have enough time to fix this.

Nobody told me being CEO meant lots of paperwork https://log.sukeban.moe/2020/03/30/nobody-told-me-being-ceo-meant-lots-of-paperwork/ Mon, 30 Mar 2020 17:15:00 +0000 http://log.sukeban.moe/?p=112 Spent most of the day filling scary forms to renew my visa. Japan paperwork requires you to fill things with your own calligraphy which is a pain in the butt since you can’t just tell someone else to fill it in for you. Have to go tomorrow to pay taxes and now I’m really understanding why Nomikai is a tradition. You can write a weekly booze party off as work expenses, what a country.

I’ve been refactoring how sprites work. I was stuck in making sure they recognized what expressions they could work with and where to pull them from. One afternoon learning about serializations and now we have a neat and tidy scriptable housing everything the sprite has.

Gonna be a busy week, gotta sneak in as much work as I can.

Headaches all goddamn day https://log.sukeban.moe/2020/03/20/headaches-all-goddamn-day/ Fri, 20 Mar 2020 09:52:12 +0000 http://log.sukeban.moe/?p=73 But the text works now in the bar. Faces work. Mixing Works

No sprites, no recipebook.

Tell Miguel to add the autosave command on each label

Did I put TMPro on the text frame?

Add hover/click sprites to chapter selector

Profile system might break on autosave, problem for future Fer
