112 - No Too Young Looking Characters Here.*

(*Patreon is harassing artists for drawing characters who's faces look too young in their opinion. So, that's the joke.)

How is it going dudes? Welcome to Monday Post # 112. There are 52 weeks in a year by the way. Which means I'v been making these posts for 2+ years now. Without skipping a single week!

But what is the most surprising thing to me that I still have people supporting me when all I do here on Patreon is talk nonsense and offer NO rewards of any kind whatsoever. Well apart from my wholesome company and sagely advice of course. Here is to clever people still supporting me. Thank you, spic bros. (And don't even get me started on my Subscribestar bros. I fucking love all 7 of you <3)

Episode 10 is finally starting to take shape. I'm done with the writing and full at work at the art assets. Can't wait to get to the assembling the events. And I think, for now, I will refrain from counting weeks since the previous release and just concentrate on the work.

The writers. I received about a dozen replies to my call to arms. Not too many, not too few - a perfect amount to be honest. As expected managing multiple creative conversations and trying to explain people what I am looking for proved to be hectic. There are no any concrete results so far, but some progress has been made. I still want to try and push in this direction and sort of learn (managerial stuff) by doing. On the bright side no matter what comes out of it - this does not affect my regular schedule or workload so you will still be getting the regular deal. But if something actually does come out of this - you will be getting even more content. For now it looks like a win-win. But we'll see how it goes.

In my free time I am playing Rune Factory 4 on my switch. What a great game. ^_^

And that's it for today's post. Now I need to get back to work. Thank you for your support everyone. Please wash your hands and stay safe -_-

111 - Writer Wanted.

Hello Bros! Welcome to Monday Post 111. How is everyone doing? This time I actually have somethings I want to discuss with you so let's just jump right into it!

 

Writer Wanted! I am looking for a writer. The idea is as follows: I want to try and have another person write little events that would not affect the main story of SC34. I want to put those stories into the sim room and maybe update it in-between the episode releases to make the wait a bit more bearable for you.

Here is the thing though, I want to do this to increase the amount of content produced, not to slow me down while I working on the episodes. Meaning that I need somebody who could not only write but will also be willing to assemble his writing into an event. It's NOT hard to do, but takes time. 

Coder Wanted? Come to think of it it is probably not very likely that there will be a guy who would be willing to both write and assemble their writing into scenes. So maybe I also need a person who will be working on the scenes... I could send that person all the necessary files and explain how everything is done. It's not a difficult task. But it's a tedious work to be honest. I imagine any actual programmer would get bored in a matter of minutes.

Moneys? At this point I just want to test the waters so I can't hire anyone to do this. Meaning that if you want to give it a try you should be ready to do it just for the heck of it. If it works out and you story goes into the game your name and contact info will be displayed there in bold letters of course.

What am I looking for? Like I said, I just want to try if this could work or not. So I will be looking for a very short story or a series of stories. Also no matter what the story is about there will be no new costumes or backgrounds or any dedicated art for it. So you will have to work only with what is already in the game. For example if you decide to write several stories about the girls being policewomen and solving crimes along side the protagonist - that won't work since there is no police uniforms in the game.

The story must be fun, or interesting, or charming or at least anything. My literary standards are not that high and this will be just side-story stuff so you can be free to do whatever.  But you need to have the knowledge of the game to write in a similar manner if possible.

Again. I won't be able to spare any time to work on this stuff. I can send you all the game files and the codes to write the event. I can explain you how to put things together - no problem. But the rest must be up to you. I can't do it for you. 

It goes without saying that you should discuss things with me before starting to work on anything. [email protected]

There is no rush. Contact me today or next month. Or whenever. I imagine there will be a lot of problems with this. Especially at first but I still want to give it a try. 

This it for now. I better get back to work. Oh, and don't worry, next episode will be out on time: Coming Soon*

110 - Words In This Post Are Less Meaningful Than They Appear.

Sup, bros! It's Monday again! Are you ready to hear some awesome news? Well, I don't have any to share. On the bright side I don't have any bad news to share with you either and that alone is awesome news I think :)

How many centuries have passed since the release of the previous episode of SC34? I think it was 3 weeks. We are still in the green boys. Episode 10 is coming soon*

Next episode is going to be bit on a weird side. Majority of the events will be taking place in Agrabah. And that means I need to commission quite a few new backgrounds an re-work and re-draw quite a few character sprites (just like I did with the best girl in the previous episode). That being said I am doing my best to release next episode in reasonable time-frame regardless. Will I succeed? Heck if I know -_-

Is it OK if I just end this week's Monday post at this? I have a ton of work ahead of me and I really need to get to it if I want to make sure episode 10 does not take too long, like some of the previous episodes did.

Thank you for your support. Thank you for the new pledges and thank you for keeping your old pledges going. Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin. Love you.

109 - March of Year 2020.

Hello, my dudes. Welcome to another Monday post. How have you been? Doing well I hope. Make sure to take a good care of yourselves so that no worldly concerns distract you when Episode 10 drops. (Which will be soon*). And thank you for taking care of me with your donations. Love you all ^_^

 

It's March already. March of year 2020. Goddamn... If I am not mistaken the patrons-only release of the previous episode was 3 weeks ago, so I am still very much in the green zone when it comes to the development cycle.

The GENTLEMEN. Went to see the movie. I gotta it's really REALLY good. ^_^

Tokyo School Life. Finished Karin route first. Shed some happy manly tears. Also finished the Aoi route - enjoyed it.

Rune Factory 4 is finally out. Of course I had it pre-ordered because I needed that swimsuit DLC. I don't spend much time gaming these days, so I imagine this one will keep me entertained for months ^^

Harley Quinn TV-Series. Watched the first episode. It was surprisingly entertaining.

And that's it. As you can see I have nothing to report. But I am still alive and working. Next episode promises to be interesting. Let's hope no RL stuff will be interrupting my working schedule.

Hugs and kisses. See you next Monday.

107 - Episode 09. Public Release!

Hello. This is me - your benevolent leader. I am here today to share another amazing piece of educational material with you. Go download it and share it with you family and friends.

Thank you for all the bugs and typos reported over the week. Here is a list of things that's been fixed:

- A number of typos.

- The event button does not disappear anymore.

- A certain missing CG variation added to the CG gallery.

- A certain unfinished background replaced with the finished version.

Also I had to take out the new "shake" animation I've been using in this episode to shake the character sprites in some of the scenes. It didn't work properly with the Android build so for now the best solution is to get rid of it altogether. (You probably won't even notice this though, just some under the hood stuff).

And that's about it. I don't feel like talking much. All is good, working on Episode 10. Thank you for your support. ^_^

Oh, and you can find the new episode on my itch.io account. (akabur.itch.io/sc34) There will be no MEGA or MediFire links this time. Please don't kill me.

Hi, dudes. All is good. Another Monday Post on time. I am Mister Consistency. 

Yet again I don't feel like saying much. I'm sure that's just a phase, but for the time being this will be another super short post. 

This was another productive week. As of right now I need to write and put together Next Episode Preview event that I end every episode with. After that I will finally get to adding music and sounds and all sort of flags and variables to make sure the events work in order they are supposed to. There is still a lot of work ahead but Episode 09 is definitely coming soon*. Also next episode will introduce a new girl. It was a tough choice to make and I can't wait to see how you guys will take it.

That's it for now. Thank you for your support. Love you.

P.S. Starting with Episode 09 I will be making slight changes in the interface towards simplifying things. If all goes as planned this will be a quality of life change for both you - as a player and me as a creator. Also your saves will still work and you will be able to choose any episode as usual :)

First of all! I would like to thank every single one of my patrons. Thanks to you guys I am able to continue to exist through my Akabur persona. With your support you're making it possible for me be this weird russian creator and continue to work on my odd projects. You guys pay all my bills. If not for you I would probably have to go get a job at Russian McDonalds or something. What I am trying to say is: thank you for your support.

Yet again I don't have much to say. This was another productive week for me. I usually feel most in peace when I'm working and see a project slowly taking form. This week I made a few posts on my Discord at the WIP channel, so if you are into that sort of thing, feel free to look there for some minor spoilers. 

That's it. Still don't feel like talking much. Just want to get back to work. See you at the comment and on my discord.

Hi, Bros. This week was very productive. I am supper happy about how much work I managed to get done over these 7 days. It feels good to be getting some shit done at a proper pace again. That being said this will be another super short post.

So... I don't feel like talking much, but I know you will forgive me. Like I said above, this week was very busy for me, but in a good way. I spent a lot of time on discord chatting with people and uploaded a whole ton of all sort of spolery work-in-progress stuff from the next episode. Patrons, don't forget to sync your discord with Patreon so that Patreon-Bot could assign your proper roles :)

My Discord Server. I even downloaded the discord app on my phone. That's how serious I am about using Discord now. Also I just shared an invite link on my twitter in case somebody out there still needs it.

Thank you for you support. Love you all. Episode 9 will be the best thing ever. (IMHO). I'll see you all next week here, or every day on my Discord. ^^

Hi, Bros. I'll keep this one short again. I am still around and working. Thank you for sticking with me through this troublesome time in my life. I really appreciate it. 

Discord.  I've been pretty much ignoring my server up until now because I am old and new things scare me. But I decided to make an effort to force myself into using discord more often from now on. Already posted quite a few WIP pics there.

That's it. Thank you for your patience, when I regain my standing I am sure there will be no shutting me up. But for now I feel like keeping the communication to the minimum. Thank you for understanding. 

P.S. Ep 09 is coming soon*

Sup, Bros. Post 101. Show must go on.

I am currently away from my laboratory - visiting family. Barely have any Internet access here. I feel much better though and can't wait to get back to work.

What do I do these days? I spend a lot of time socializing with some familiar faces. I also play Azur Lane and go on long walks. And since I have plenty of free time now I spend it on planing out final parts of episode 09. Now I can't wait to get back to work.

Thank you for keeping your pledges going. Next Episode is coming soon* I will be back home before next Monday Post.

Take care everyone. Thank you for your support.

Hi, guys. This is a very busy time for the year so I hope you will forgive me for making this, literally the shortest Monday Post ever. Yes I know, 100 is a number that needs to be celebrated but instead I gave this post almost no effort. Yes, I do things completely opposite from the way they are supposed to be done. That's how much of a rebel I am... Or something...

Thank you for your support, guys. Things will get better eventually. They gotta. Stay tuned. Love you all. Namaste  -_-

099 - Proof of life for the 99th time.https://youtu.be/D2AjDcGfvRA
Hi, guys. This is Monday Post number 99. There is roughly 100 weeks in a year (EDIT: I meant to say in 2 years), which means I've been doing this Monday Post thing for almost 2 years now without skipping any single Monday. I find this fact to be both inspiring and depressing. Inspiring because I never thought I would actually be able to do this consistently for such a long time. And depressing because I can not freaking believe it's been two years already...

The Work.  It's been 12 weeks since Episode 08. These past three months were something else for me, and not in a good way. But I figured I won't rush Episode 08 because if I do I will regret it later. In other words thank you for your support and patience. 

That's it. I don't feel like talking much. Maybe next week. Thank you for your support guys...

Hi, guys. I hope everyone is doing at least OK. It's Monday again and you know what that means, don't you? Enjoy another awesome tutorial (proof-of-life) video. Namaste and all that.

Buaha! I have absolute nothing to say! But I must fill in this space with at least some letters. So here I am typing. *Type!* *Type!* *Type!* OREOs go good with milk, french fries are good with catchup but without the support of my patrons I would be a bum.

The Work.  It's been 11 weeks since Episode 08. I'd say that's a very long time... But considering all the things that's been happening to me lately I am just glad I managed to keep on the development going at all. That being said I appreciate your support and patience, you guys are freaking saints and true heroes here.

The good news. RL stuff didn't bother me nearly as much this week. In fact it was a rather pleasant 7 days and I managed to get a lot of stuff done. It feels good to be working at a proper pace again ^^

Next Episode. Despite unforeseen crap that I still refuse to talk about I decided not to cut any content from Episode 09's original planning. So there will be plenty of story for you to go through and I still hope to add a new girl in this one. Again, thank you for your patience.

In conclusion. Love conquers all and my love for my supporters knows now bounds. If my life was that Azur Lane game I would oath every each one of you. I know the way I do things is not perfect but I appreciate so many of you sticking with me despite whatever. Thank you for your support. Episode 09 is Coming Soon*

Sub, bros. Another week went by... Welcome to your typical proof-of-life post. Oh and I did record another tutorial  ^_^.

The tutorial. Don't take this new (super awesome) video  tutorial  too seriously. I recorded it in one take and half of the time I am not even sure what I am talking about. But I think a video like this beats some random funny pic I usually pull off the web. ^^

No whining. So, yeah, I'll spare you the whining this time I think. It was another crappy week, boo-hoo, I made it through, the end. 

Still not whining. But that's the thing with one-man-production development teams isn't it? If one person, for whatever reason, becomes unable to perform his duties the whole project just stops. Oh, well... I am still working, just not nearly as fast as I wish I could.

Good news. On the bright side of things I am (mostly) done with all the art assets and with the major portion of the writing. Also I had a chat with Dahr few days ago and he offered his help so there could be (maybe) some extra stuff (like costumes) created by his hand as well :)

That's it. I am still around. Sorry for being secretive and just saying "I going through some stuff" instead of giving your proper details. I will gladly talk about all that when it's done and over with. For now I will just try to make sure next episode happens soon.

Thank you for your support,  my dudes. Don't forget to comment and stuff. Love you. <3

Sup, bros. How is it going? Another Monday - another Post, nothing out of the ordinary here. Love you all. Hags and kisses. Namaste.

The Vid. If you are not into the whole drawing thing - just ignore the video. I am sharing it here because I think my Patreon has been lacking that artsy flare lately. Also I think a self-respecting, professional illustrator such as myself is long overdue for sharing his profound wisdom with the world.

The Vid. Seriously though I recorded that video because I thought it could be fun and sharing a video beats sharing some random pics I pull off the internet. I put zero effort into this one: no editing, no music (no actually useful info), so please don't worry about me recording silly vids instead of doing something more productive :)

About my personal life... Gosh, I had such a weird couple of months. Health stuff, other stuff, it's like one thing after another and all I can do is try to keep up. Needless to say that in a situation like that it's hard to stay creative and be productive at all. Thank you for all the good wishes by the way. It honestly helps. Also I do manage to keep these posts going on so things can't me THAT bad, right? ^_^

Also let me apologize in advance for any weirdness that could (or could not) occur with my patreon page or the schedule of my posts and such. Obviously this is all temporary and eventually things will settle down and I will record an hour-long video talking about stuff that's been going on with me recently. But for now all I can do is thank you for your patience. Hugs and kisses XD

Not that anyone cares, but I am finally done with Terminator: Resistance. Loved every second of it by the way. ^^ And now I moved on to Shining Resonance Refrain (On Switch), which just tickles my weaboo bone in all the right ways. The combat system is a joke, but the rest of the game is... divine ^_^  

Also.  It's been 9 weeks since Episode 08. I still keep count, don't worry.

In conclusion. I am fine. I am still around. And I continue to work and that's the only thing that is important I think. Thank you for being a part of my life, bros. Honestly. Now go leave me some comments so that I could reply to every each one of them and feel like if I actually have a social life or something ^^

Hi, guys. How have you been? How was this week for you? Was it fun? Was it OK? Was it unbearable? Well, you can relax now. It is that magical time of the week when you can put all your chores and worries on pause and read some random ramblings of your beloved Russian wierdo. Welcome to Monday Post number 95. Namaste. 

This week was another weird one for me. This entire month was weird actually. It's really tempting to just go into the details and spend this post whining but I think I'll postpone that for later maybe.

In general terms. I had some health related problems, then some RL stuff, then some more health stuff, then it got better, then it got worse, then better again. Had bad days, had good days... Bla-bla-bla... Honestly talking about it only brings me down even more so I think I'll just leave it at that for now.

Good things. It wasn't all bad though. Some good stuff happened too, but I don't wont to talk about that just yet... 

The bottom line. I am still here, doing another Monday Post on time and working on the next episode, so I don't think I should complain too much. Also you guys are here, and your support is just my fucking everything, as usual <3

To other news. Danlorn has a Patreon page now and he is working on the game based on one of my favorite Spider-Man cartoons from back in the day. I gave the game a try and it was short but sweet (and unfinished of course :). If I am to be 100% honest though, the text was a bit too much at times, but it was still interesting stuff. All in all I really enjoyed that little game and looking forward for future updates now. Here is Danlorn Patreon in case you wish to check it out:  https://www.patreon.com/danlorn

Some more news. Elon-san's Cybertruck unveil event was pretty epic! Did you watch it? Is it me or does a Cyberpunk 2077 cross promotion would be perfect here? Anyway, that was a fun event to watch. The truck looks exactly like something an 80s-90s kid would dream up ^_^

Game news. I am playing Terminator: Resistance and I am really enjoying it. I know game-journalists gave this game a very low score, but I am REALLY enjoying it. And I am not even a Terminator fan. Anyway it has plenty  (for an action game)  of RPG-like dialog trees and two romancable girls who actually look like women for a change (Imagine that in a modern video game. Shocking!). The game was created by a Polish game studio and it shows :) It's not a perfect game but I picked it up and really enjoy it so far. 

The work. It's been 8 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. And I still have plenty of work to do on this one. To be honest, considering how hectic everything has been for me lately I am just happy that I manage to keep on working on the things. Thank you for your support and patience guys. 

That's it. I got to go do some chores now. And work on the next episode of course. Thank you for your support, bros. See you next week.

Hi, guys. This week was a very busy one for me. Minor health stuff, RLF stuff, work... Still have a lot of things I need to take care of, so I will keep this post like SUPER-MEGA short.

The work. It's been 7 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons.  

*Beep!* So, basically I just want to check in and say that I am still around and working on the next update. Thank you for your support. See you in the comments. ^^

Hi, bros. All is good but I feel a bit under the weather today so this will be a short post. Namaste and all that.

Thank you for your support. A couple of new recruits joined quietly during this week. Thank you, bros. Love you.

 The work. It's been 6 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. I am mostly done with the art assets and big portion of the writing is done as well. I also want to add a new girl with the next episode, but we'll see if I have the time. This episode will take a while but I think it will be worth it. I will try and make the next one a simple and quick one, but with this one I'll just do what needs to be done. Thank you for your patience, guys.  

See you next Monday. And in the comments. Enjoy your gif.

092 - A 30 years old secret message!

Sup, bros! Welcome to another Monday Post. We are slowly closing in on 100. Are you excited? Well don't be, because I'm not planing anything special for that day or anything. Still a 100 is quite a number. I hope we get there safely. Hugs and kisses everyone. Namaste and all that.

The massage. Time to put your tinfoil hats on, dudes! A couple of days ago I was going through my TMNT reference folder and found this screenshot. It took me a while to realize what I was seeing... Take a look at the picture - I marked the points of interest for you. Doesn't it look like that Japanese banner is saying "ANIME"? And right near it is another saying saying "ONE WAY" and pointing directly at the banner! Now let me remind you that this cartoon was released in 1987 by a western animation studio. That's a long time ago. And yet somebody on the team already knew. They predicted our future perfectly! 30 ago they already knew: "Anime is the only way".

To other news. This week was on a rather productive side for me. The RL stuff settled down somewhat and I finally had a chance to just relax and quietly do my thing. Thank you for all the support guys - it gives me a peace of mind.

The work. It's been 5 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. To be honest I have big hopes for episode 09, so for now see no reason to freak out about the release date too much. As usual, it's coming soon*. 

That's it. I'll wrap it up here if you don't mind. Love you all. Keeping this post short should give me extra time to get some work done this morning. So, I'll go do just that. Till next Monday, bros.

The Gif. Well of course. 

Hello, cherished allies. How is it going? Ready for another empty Monday Post? Well tough luck, because this one is full of love and positive vibes and all that garbage. Can you feel it? Of course you do. Welcome to the most family friendly campaign on Patreon!

The vibes. Yeah, you better be satisfied with them vibes since that's pretty much the only thing I can share with you this time. I'm like that gatekeeper from FE who starts almost every conversation with "nothing to report". But that doesn't stop him from being the best boy, right? <3. 

So yeah... I'm still around and working. Locked myself in the lab and writing, drawing and coding and doing all sorts of questionable things. Episode 09 is coming soon*... And it's going to be filthy^^

The work. It's been 4 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. I have a feeling that I will be terribly late with this one. Some RL stuff has happened and still happening, I don't even want to talk about it, but just don't freak out if Episode takes a bit longer this time. Personally I am not stressed about the release date because this time around it's not on me. Things just happen sometimes. But hey, I am working and I continue to release Monday Posts on time, so it's all good I say :)

That's it. Thank you for your support. Love you guys.

The Gif! And the gif of course. 

Hello, guys. Another week went by and it's Monday again. Were you a good boy and spent this week productively? Were you a naughty boy and wasted this week doing nothing worth mentioning? No, don't answer that. Those were rhetorical questions. You know I love you either way. Come on, let daddy Akabur hug your troubles away. Namste <3

Summer Sweetheart. I bought this game few days ago to support the devs and let Nintendo know that I want more weird-ass games like this in my library.  A (Chinese I believe) dating sim in which you date Japanese girls while laughing your ass off over the hilariously bad translation. Just look up some gameplay videos you may like it.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. So I am sure you're well aware of the story by now. The re-release of the game for the Switch will be based on the heavily censored western version. Which means Japanese fans will be getting the censored version as well. Why Nintendo? Why? T_T Also this whole story made the original uncut Nintendo Wii version a bestseller on the Japanese amazon.com. In the previous post I said that I still want to buy this game, but now I gain adon't feel like it... I think I will at least wait for a sale a year later or something...

The work. It's been 3 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. Moving on... 

That's it. Don't have anything else to report, really. Life just goes on... It's getting colder outside... I am working on the next episode... And that's it. Thank you for your support, guys.

The gif. Here is your gif. See you next week.

Hello, gamer bros. Welcome to another Monday Post. How is it going, everyone? Another week went by in a flash... *Sigh*... Mondays are just the best, aren't they? -_- 

FE: Three Houses. I said some stuff about the game last week. About how the ending was a bit underwhelming because I wish romance was fleshed out a bit more. Well, since then I replayed the final mission 4 more times to watch the endings of 4 more girls... and I got to say... It was sweet and even hit me in the feels a bit. I still think romance in the game is criminally underdeveloped, but you can marry almost literally any unit in the game,  so it's pretty damn impressive actually. My first play-through was with the Golden Deer. By now I am sort of ready to begin my second play-through (for Blue Lions), but I want to wait for the sauna DLC before I begin. But at the same time it is such a long wait till December 31... 

Asphalt 9: Legends is out. That game is heavenly good. I did try playing it om my phone before but it always felt awkward. On the Switch though it runs and plays like a charm. Usually I am not into racing games, but I always liked the Burnout series, and Asphalt 9 is as close as it gets to a modern Burnout game for me :)

The work. It's been 2 weeks since Episode 08 was released for the patrons. Moving on...

FanArt. This awesome drawing was sent to me a while back by... um... I don't actually remember by whom exactly. I *think* I know but I am worried that I may be wrong so, the guy who sent me this - you know who you are, just leave a comment bellow and I will update this post to credit you properly. Oh, an thank you by this magnificent piece of art. You rock, man ^_^

Tokyo Mirage Whatever... Few days ago it was pretty much confirmed that the re-release of the game on Swicth will be censored to hell and back. That sucks... I was so looking forward to giving this one a try... To be honest I still am. It pisses me off to no end that it will be censored... But I still want to play it T_T

Hugs and kisses. I'll keep it short: thank you for all the support you continue to show me... Thank you for all the comments... Thank you for playing my games... And thank you for literally putting food in my mouth for years now. I imagine me getting all mushy every now and then has gotten old by now, but I don't care. As an artist and allowed to have weird emotional outbursts every now and then. Hugs and no-homo kisses. -_-

The gif. Well, of course. Here is your gif for the week. I hope to see you next Monday and in the comment section to this post. Take care, gamer-bros.

Hi there, guys. How is everyone doing? Me? Oh, well, I caught a nasty cold and just want to crawl into a ball under a warm blanket and play some games on my Switch. But a man's got to do what a man's got to do, so here is your Monday Post! I'll keep it short though, I hope you don't minds.

It's out! Download links can be found on my twitter and on my page on itch.io. Windows, MAC, Linux and Android versions - All there. Fixed plenty of typos during this week, thank you for all the reports (Thank you Sasamus!).

FE: Three Houses.  Finished my first playthrough. Took me 90 hours. That being said I kind of don't feel like touching the game again... ever. I was so hyped for the upcoming Sauna DLC, but now I just don't care anymore. I didn't expect the whole romance thing in the game to be so basic (almost non-existent)... This was my first FE game. Was romance always this crappy in FE? -_-  No, seriously, 90 house of pointless  tea-parties and all you get is one generic scene at the end, that feels shallow as heck.

In Persona 4 for example there was no marriage, but all the friendship and love mechanics were done so well that I actually felt it. In Three Houses though it was just "meh" at best... *Sigh*... Oh well...

That's it. Another Episode is out. Won't be possible without all of you. Love you guys. And will see you in next Monday post and in the comment section.

The GIF? Right, of course. Here you go.
