"Hey What's Up Today We're Streaming Salmon Run While I Try To Keep This Random Small Child From Drawing

So I know I'm not one of those starry corridor accounts but can we talk about what I found today

Finally I've found one of these in the wild-

Ok one minor thing in defense of the prize being Ablaze Night is that they made it a required crystal shoe ingredient for the Pigeon Hell Suit that will come with volume 2. So if you’ve done Star Sea and have one free copy, you’ve saved yourself 48 crystal shoes Diamonds would still be nice though

Fair enough

I'm probably just upset that I bought Ablaze Night months ago pff

Gamedev progress update from Cune and I! A text box mockup and a map WIP :D

So I feel like it should go without saying but just in case, the mockup is intentionally shitty and no we did not keep a random ass sand square we just thought it was funny.

I was thinking about this post earlier and I realized I left a part out I was originally gonna include but forgot involving the barbie collab suit.

The thing is, naturally after seeing this, one would wonder why they didn't do that for the Barbie collab suit, instead of giving us a copycat skin, but I actually have a few answers.

First of all, as a hobbyist game dev myself, I can tell you that a game dev won't know the full capabilities of their system, unless they test a bunch of random things out, and even then it's unlikely to know the full capabilities. So it's very likely that until recently they didn't even know they could do that.

So then why didn't they try it out for the Barbie collab? Simply because since it was a paid collaboration with something as huge as BARBIE, that wouldn't be the best time to try new things. They had a product to deliver and definitely wouldn't want an event suit that important to have major bugs or issues, so best to play it safe. Not to mention they most likely had a time constraint considering it was, in fact, a paid collaboration.

So, why not try it earlier? Time. We've had quite a few new things come to us recently, as well as bug fixes and the likes, so they were undoubtedly kept busy with that. Not to mention something like this would require thorough testing before being released as a feature, so that would require time as well.

So why was this a complication in the first place? The game wasn't originally built to have multiple skin tones, as the original Miracle Nikki server was launched without them. Skin tones weren't a thing that was introduced until after the english server was launched, and english players began to ask for them. They came for free alongside an old streetwear event and a free suit (youth storm). So the original game's code wasn't even built to handle more than one skin tone, much less default poses for them. The skin tones that came with these suits were, of course, coded as such, and we've never really had a need for items coded as part of multiple suits before, up until recently, when people began to ask for dark skin exclusive suits.

TL:DR; The devs had probably never messed with the possibility of an item being part of more than one suit before and more than likely only tested the possibility recently due to having the time to do so.

So yeah, I just wanted to add this because it's been rolling around in my head all day. I am in no way usually on the dev's side, but I can see why this might have happened this way.

The new wasteland pavilion event piqued my interest until I found out it was, in fact, a pavilion event. Then I was sad. But now I'm slightly interested again because they did something that I thought they couldn't do because of the way the game was coded

They managed to make warm ray part of two suits simultaneously.

That might not seem important, until you realize that this means they can have true dark skin exclusive suits, which I've seen many players asking for, without giving us copycat skin tones in order to make the default pose in the gallery not look kinda really terrible

So honestly? I may be disappointed with the price, and I won't finish it when I could finish evernight instead, but like, good on the devs for finding new ways to make our server happy despite the many various demands I see. I hope they keep this trend up in the future, though preferrably with less hell spam. What's up with all the hells lately this is getting out of hand

also these shoes fit oddly well with the soccer ball we got awhile back (at least imo) so there you go

also also yes I know that's not how you dress for soccer

My starry corridor is full so I need to delete some stuff so have my dumb starry corridors that I believe I haven't posted here yet hurr durr

That one was an attempt at a serious one because I wanted to play with the wind suit

And then

Yeah okay that's all continue scrolling now

At first I was like " this new story is boring as hell... . " but then I was like " HOLY SHIT WTF JUST HAPPENED "

What do you mean what just happened. Silly, we’re making window flowers

Gasssssp, what is this?! Game coding?! On Maple’s blog?! Never! Yes in fact, it is! I’ve crawled out of my garbage mood I’ve been in for weeks and I finally have motivation to code again, so it’s back to REPUBLIC for me!

I don’t actually have much right now that’s not spoilers or small fixes to previous parts, so this is all I have at the moment, heheh. Hopefully I’ll have more crap in the future.

Arson is the best party favor. Instead of BYOB parties let's have BYOA parties. They'll be lit.

No nice party without some good arson
