Game
LISA: Vegaful in Hopeful
2 years ago

Addendum to 1.3.1:

I can't really explain this one in the word limit, so you'll have to read the article for this one.

It's about the pace at which Sawyer learns his moves.


I’ve released a small patch that more evenly distributes the moves Sawyer unlocks as you go through the game, but unless you’ve already gotten his final move (Ultra Uppercut), haven’t started the Vega route at all/haven’t downloaded the game before, or are before Sawyer’s recruitment/haven’t progressed to a point where going back to the rainstorm segment would be a major progress loss, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PATCH UNTIL YOU’VE BEATEN THE GAME (or have gotten Ultra Uppercut).

Due to a weird way RPGMaker moves work, it is physically impossible to learn a move if you’ve already passed its corresponding level up. Normally it isn’t an issue, but in a case like this where the level requirement for learning a move has been reduced, you can lock yourself out of learning that move permanently if the party member in that file has already passed that level. The only way to “fix” it is to go into the files and put in an event that’ll give you the moves yourself, but that’s not really feasible given that not everyone owns a copy of VX Ace.

Here's a vaguely defined list of all the games I played in 2025.

I'd also like to mention Fool Time, the recent Jon Bois miniseries about the telegraph, as an honorary "Highlight of the Year."

It's an honorary mention since Fool Time isn't a video game.

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. A few of the ideas I've implemented for this (including this update's name!) have been my plans for months now. Glad to see it all come together.

Hope you enjoy experiencing this as much as I've enjoyed creating it.

I have spent the last few weeks wondering on and off if putting these two in a room together would be a character design faux-pas for a thing I haven't even started working on yet (and it's possible, though unlikely, I never will).

He's not in it.

I was done MOST of this a while ago, but I've been focusing on another project for the most part so it took until now to actually finish (even if it's not that big of an update).

Labor Day.

Now the questionably enjoyable trial of will that is the Joyed Vega Ending is more consistently questionably enjoyable!

Also I changed my mind on how I wanted to handle Fatty's recruitment on the new route. It's the same method, but it's a bit easier now.

The Vega Route has begun actual development.

This should be the last of the serious issues with the Vega Route. I'd at least hope it would be, anyways.

There's a new Wes Anderson movie coming out within the next two months, so I've got something to look forwards to for the immediate future.

Or at least a closer future than some of the other stuff I'm looking forwards to, anyways.
