What happened?


Insert jaluz. (Don't you fucking call me out for 'dead naming' because that's literally Juana's GameJolt account's name, so shut up.) meme. Gee, I wonder what's the next boring ass meme? The JA cast reacting to Queen Elizabeth II's death? Yeah, I know this isn't related, but let me have this one fucking time. Imagine thinking whenever Imasu uses a magic skill, he's saying "Apple don." And I'm like, right here, the guy who wrote all of the battle lines and voiced Imasu in that exact same game, thinking to myself "Do you guys forget Imasu's Japanese? Because whenever he attacks, he says "ザンねん" which means "This is disappointing." What he's saying whenever he uses a magic skill is "あんぽんたん" is supposed to be "You're a fool."" Except I realized "Oh goddamn it, I fucked the 'tan' for 'don.'" Because if you don't know any Japanese, more or less specifically Hiragana, あんぽんたん is pronounced "anpontan." And no, I don't speak Japanese. This line was straight up taken from Mojib-Ribbon, exactly from two game overs.

So aside from a screwed-up line that I'm GOING to fix, there's gonna be a new update for the demo. Essentially, if you played the demo before, there are two rooms that can't be accessed because of how dark it is and by using the Blinding Light Hammer, it would permanently light up the room. However, it's locked off because it's a demo of the game. Except it's going to change so that you can still access those rooms. Why was it blocked off? Because I didn't have an idea of what the secret boss for the 1st dungeon would be at the time of publishing the game here.

Originally, it would've been Jessie Greenberg, because back then, the JA I wanted to make was gonna include a prequel (Being Yuki's Adventure) and a sequel (Being Jonathan's Adventure 2, which doesn't have a subtitle and isn't related to Joey at the time.), but the fact that prequels are much harder to write and that the game was cancelled, I decided to cut it, along with the 4 Extra Party members you would've gotten, out of the game in order to lessen the impact to when it's gonna get cancelled for the second time. Because imagine trying to balance 8 Party members so that one wasn't so explicitly overbalanced or nerfed so severely that getting them is pointless besides having a whole complete arsenal for the party to utilize with. And by considering it's state, that would mean 4 more Relationship levels, which requires more events, also 12 new skills for those members, AND would be much more harder to achieve the two achievements, one is beating the game with everybody liking you or the other is beating the game with everybody hating you. But ultimately, I could've gone either option depending on certain circumstances at the time.

So yeah, see y'all on the next release.
