A random thought that struck me: Not knowing how one's audience understands the story at a given time is a bit of a hindrance to knowing what will be effective and/or what most needs to be conveyed.

In theory, there's a sweet spot in between telling people things they already know versus assuming that they know something they really don't, but in practice it's a constantly shifting target. Maybe it can be mitigated by layering your elaborations for different levels of understanding, but at some point you've just got to knuckle down and fire off into the wild blue unknown.

Or I suppose you could pilot things in front of test audiences. But those are a little bit hard to come by.

>>24989
True, it's impossible to account for even a majority of the readers to have the same interpretation of facts, but it's something more fundamental in this case. In the context that such a thought came about, it's more a personal problem of perceiving what someone on the 'outside looking in' can reasonably be presumed to know; I'm only aware of what I know and feel I need to be told explicitly when others don't understand. Without some understanding of where I stand with the audience, decision paralysis sets in quickly and no progress can be made.

It's weighted pretty heavily towards a niche subset of people who like shmups and the Megami Tensei talking system. If you're not a fan of either, well...

>I don't think Deltarune really stands without Undertale.
It's not meant to. Pretty sure it says on the official site that you ought to have played the previous game before playing it. I know it was mentioned somewhere.

nice

why does this game love to hurt me

Charged 6[a] grazes through bullets while it's in mid-air. It's a neat trick when it works, but(t) it's easy to react to, so you have to use it in advance of something that your opponent would do.

Meanwhile, Clownpiece will suffocate you with this moon.

The overall lack of jizou butt pics is disappointing.

And here we see the Burgundian bat wearing the costume of her people.

Im again just for you

She'll only come out at nights
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sittin' with you
But her eyes are on your arm

So many try not to see
What you think
You're gettin' for free
The woman is wild
A she-cat tamed
By the leg of a Jaguar
Meat is the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man
And she could really rip your world apart
Her face is splattered
Ooh, the beauty is there
But a beast is in the heart

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater

[Lunch Interlude]

Ooooooooh
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Whoa-oh, here she comes
(Watch out) she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
Ooh, she'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes, she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(Watch out)
She'll only come out at night, ooh-oh
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
She's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
The woman is wild, whoooa
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
Watch out boy, watch out boy
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Oh, watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(Yeah, yeah) she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
She'

Bruh that's mean of ya.

Once again thank you for sharing those songs, they're really fun to read for me.

Rhymes and songs just vibe with me.

okay

I use the time between waves to make a hasty rope fence with wooden stakes, sharp stones and whatever sharp items can be attached to the fence.
I then get everyone I can find to hold a sharp stick and poke at anything that tries to come through.

>>24808
So these fairies are flying high enough to fly over the closed gate, yet not high enough to fly over the walls? All while flying low enough for the ground bound guards to attack them? That is an oddly specific altitude to be flying at.

What the fuck is this thread even about

earthcucks coping

>>24777
yeah its been pretty rough lately what with us earthlings having 99 percent of the game be exclusive to us, a constant influx of new content, a thriving community, and more than three kinds of scenery.

I like animal girls okay.

Remilia should've ended up further ahead, but I don't remember her showing up a single time during this entire sort.

>>24694
I like turtles

>>24417
Fair enough. Thanks for the update!

Hi, >>24417 here. Forgot my trip and I'm too lazy to try and figure it out.

It's been over a year since I mentioned anything, and about 2 years since I started working on this, so I figure I owe some kind of update on the matter.

First off, I'm a lazy shit with things to do outside of THP, which is the main reason it's taken so long.

With that said. Since I want to create an API, both so people can make their own better UIs and to allow me to play around with more stuff without potentially impacting uptime, I decided to write an OpenAPI Specification document, which forced me to really think about how I want everything to interact from an usability standpoint. That alone took ages, was boring and dry. But with that done, I have a clear idea of how everything is supposed to relate to each other, which should hopefully streamline the rest of the process. Also, because I have that document, anyone who wants to create their own UI to replace my shitty one will have a clear guide on how to interact with the API.

Current planned features includes the primary feature of being able to add stories to a personal list; the ability add specific posts to a story (this is mainly intended for contests where a bunch of unrelated stories are posted in the same thread).

Honestly, looking at it objectively, the only thing it offers that the current story list doesn't offer is the ability to track your personal reading status of a story, since the story list has gotten an update since this web app was requested. That, and the fact it's intended to be user maintained instead of relying on an admin going through everything and manually updating the list.

Whether or not this project is still desired, I intend to finish it, since it's a nice exercise in various technologies.

Also, once the project has reached a state where I'd be comfortable launching it, I intend to make it open source, because maximum transparency.

>>24631
Cool. Good to know it's still happening.

I had just about considered dusting off my terrible, embarrassing Django-based attempt that's been sitting mouldering for a couple of years now.

English is my third language and, even on Spanish, I can't my way out of a paper bag.
