O-Or... at least... don't look so... ... ... happy about having done this to me!

I actually drew the sketch for this ages ago. So long ago, in fact... that the way I did the line art makes very little sense to even me.
Granted, the way I do this kind of thing is already patently nonsense... and part of why i vastly prefer black and white doodling is because I can get away with a ton of bizarre and unhelpful "shortcuts"...
Background is white? Just cover up anything the lower layers shouldn't show through with white also! Whaddya mean "what about adding a background later"?! ... backgrounds are for chumps!
Whaddya mean "how'm I s'pos'd to color with weird splotches of white-out strewn across all the layers?"?! No one NEEDS color! That fancy brain of yours does all the filling in of blanks you could ever need or want for IMAGINING the colors, right! Why ruin the illusion?!
Whaddya mean "these details are a bit crowded and need some contrast to clarify what's going on in these busy spots"?! Just... umm... ... ... look here... and... uh... there? I think? Y-Yeah, like that! Get it?!
... ... ...
It's no exaggeration that just staring over on a new canvas with the finalized line art, taking out anything that isn't those lines, and just coloring THAT is way "easier" than whatever retrofitted workflow I'm tinkering with super inefficiently here.
But it's the only way I'll learn. Punishment for bad habits. Instill the good ones?! Th-That'll totally work... EVENTUALLY, right?
... ... ...
I should've just gone into this with a clearer plan and exit strategy.

There's also absolutely nothing wrong with being cute, just for the record.
... ... ...just let me choose the where, when, and how!
Now shut up, stop gawking, and help me find some ACTUAL clothes. Quickly, while she's distracted making those ridiculous poses in that assortment of paper towels!
There's also NOTHING wrong with a little wardrobe bullying between parts of the same whole, rrriiiight?
No! Stop! Save me from whatever she's got planned next! This is torture not covered under the Genev--!

Happy imminent Mai season, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury fans! See you in Metro City AND the... um... "City of Wolves"? Where were either of those places actually located, again?!

Important distinction, yes.
Disappointingly... I only got two and a half endings. Somehow. I didnt remember that you can take alternate routes to end up at the same place.
Visual novels can be frustrating in this way sometimes. ;3
Visual novel turn-based strategy all range mode simulator!
... ... ...but not always a properly Star Fox feeling game.
I can see why a lot of people dont prefer it. But it has some really neat ideas, and I vastly prefer the multiple player characters and semi-real-time map interactions over the chicken walker transformation, if pressed to choose. (Sorry, Platinum!)
FAIR WARNING... the video capture broke at almost the end of the stream. Like, during the credits. Just scant minutes from completion. Credits that already showed last time. After an ending I already earned. (really making a strong case for watching here, huh?)
Ultimately just a footnote, but seemed only right to acknowledge anyway.

ALSO, because streaming in 1440p might be a bit excessive... but capturing and uploading it isnt, you can see it in glorious TEN TIMES native resolution if you ditch the bunny. ;3

As often I doth protest too much, I feel like... at least in THIS case, the version polluted with uncanny puppetrcraft is the... ... ... less unbearable alternative. If I may grudgingly be forced to admit so myself (under extreme duress), at any rate.
If youre like me and want none of that and crave unadulterated game-only content, by all means may you suffer with dignity:

This ones just a little bonus addition.
Being as this is the bleeding edge of... six-year-old games-as-a-service slightly-less-than-massively-multiplayer-always-online design paradigms... crossed with just a pinch of western game dev decisions and/or problems which will now be YOUR problems, dear player... PLUS a heaping spoonful of the PC master race meme dolloped on top... ... ... well, things were going to get complicated no matter what, its just a matter of how much it just works we were going to reasonably expect.
Just kidding, this is a Rareware game. A *Microsoft* era Rareware game. Seeing all the exposed wires and confusing little bits and bobs poking out from under the hood is a FEATURE and it shows just how COOL a piece of genuine software engineering youre interfacing with. Thats all! (Plus obligatory Britishisms and odd spelling choices. They actually FIT the setting for a change, though!)
Mark my words. This is neither the first nor the last time Ill be tweaking these things. In just the time since this was captured and I put off describing any of what went on in it... Ive had to fix at least three major technical, visual, and control concerns... and several more of those are lurking in store that I just... didnt want to deal with. And well see what THAT costs me in terms of professionalism and presentation!
...not counting the issues that Im definitely just making harder on myself for no other apparent reason than... because I can.
Its always FUN to learn where the out-of-the-box settings and input norms of TWO distinctly different eras and ecosystems are just jammed together in one place and see which one gives way first!
Since Im probably going to refrain from complaining in any level of detail or capacity later on, lets just catch a few of them, not all of which are in any way the games fault!
Did you know this game is one of the few Ive run across thus far (baby steps!) that DEFAULTS to an unbound framerate? Dont you usually need to opt into that, with the stern warning that youll possibly generate some extra instabilities as a result? (Fun fact: the warning is still here, but the opting in has already been done FOR you!)
The keyboard and mouse setup is super sprawlingly comfy with a bunch of eras-old conventions of where certain types of actions are located, and no pesky need to inform players, just assuming they know how those things work. Its a game with guns and melee attacks in it! Theyll be fine! Multiple interact keys? Theyll figure them out! Context clues!
Shockingly, the controller layout is super cozy and almost... entirely comfortable? The game even has radial menus! Yknow, the things analog sticks make sense for, but keys and scraping-and-clicking input devices might struggle a bit with?
Heck, I only learned you CAN aim and sprint because of the conventions they absorb for these functions in this mode... but of COURSE it happens that I learned the ropes by the OTHER input method. (I was too lazy to plug in a controller meant to be used more monogamously with its own intended subcomputing television attachment device.)
Inverted aim! Makes sense one way for a mouse. A different way for a joystick! ... ... ...unless decades of conventional unwisdom have trained you to think the opposite! ...from decades of conventional wisdom PRIOR instead training people to believe otherwise! Huzzah!
And what if I want to put on a saucy poppet wench show oer starboard side? That surely wont complicate matters one bit! (The high seas SURELY cant be any more graphically rigorous than free-roaming the fightin streets of Metro City, riiiight?)
And I (wisely?) havent even chosen to dig into what might be in store if I decide to retrofit traditional two-thumbed controls with gyro aiming! I swear! Its not weird! (No, YOURE weird!)
The game defaults to a 720p viewport for windowed mode, but full native resolution if you put it on the big screen. You can also only change the latter in menu form... you freely drag the former! Dynamism!
And Im PRETTY sure the recommended settings of BOTH Mythical for one set of options and CURSED for an entirely other indicates to me that... ... ... this ancient unlost software has no idea what Moores Law has been up to in the meantime, and can only vaguely guess at certain bits and throw up its arms in disgusted resignation at the others.")
