zephyr not being a job originating from the azim steppe is soul crushing to me. i think the azim steppe is the only major region with no corresponding job. which is tough... WHEN ITS MY FAVORITE!!! oh well... ill live...
i put more effort into this than it deserved. which is to say more than nothing. but if youre in the guilty gear deadlock ven diagram i hope you enjoy it
the new deadlock update didnt give us the vyper rework so i figured id poke around again at possible design spaces for her. i like my previous one but i think it was too contemporary. leaning into the mobster goon and escaped convict angle here
my favorite one so far is the ex-solider who tentatively opens a clothing store. his wife doubts its a sound career change and is a bit of a grouch about it, but eventually admits that shes happy she gets to see him more than when he was in the army, and that hes happier now
finished chapter 1 of trails in the sky and im loving it. i love the lower stakes. the living world. how much it focuses on the setting, its factions, bureaucracy, history, economy. its SO good. unstoppably pretty game too. the fact games dont look like this anymore is criminal
i was sold on the whole "EVERY npcs dialogue changes between every main story beat" and i have been DILLEGENT and immersed in that aspect. the little npc storylines arent groundbreaking but theyre cute and sell just how alive this world is.
