310 - Work, Work.
Hello there, dear bros. If you reading this that means you have survived the festivities and on that I congratulate you. Little by little the life returns back to normal for everyone (I hope), and here is another crucial part of your normal life routine: Monday Post!
Initial D. Since I finished watching MF Ghost and decided to give Initial D a try. Yes I know the order is backwards, but it is what it is. Watched first two episodes. So far so good. Looking forward to watching this classic in it's entirety for the first time.
Agarest Senki Mariage. Still on the second generation. The blond girl (Geolette) is probably the one I will end up marring. Also, in case I didn't mention this before, this game has customizable underwear. They just don't make them like this anymore, do they? ^^
Also I had to do one particular change to my version of Esmeralda. Apparently I got her eye color wrong and until now nobody even complained about it. Well one guy did a few weeks ago and since then it's been bothering me. It's a small detail but knowing that I got it wrong was annoying. Eventually I decided to sacrifice a couple hours of my work time to fix it. Rejoice everyone, your future wife Esmeralda has green eyes now. ^^
I did it! I have successfully replaced my faulty PSP joystick! That thing was broken for 10+ years now XD. You have no idea how happy I am to be able to play games normally again on my ancient Japanese PSP unit. If all goes well (and if I have the time) I will probably be playing Persona 3 Portable again. That game is prefect for PSP :)
The work. This week I was tidying up one side quest that has Genie giving a few valuable life lessons to a daughter of a rich woman. Originally the daughter was represented a silhouette, but I decided to invest a few extra days to flesh out her a bit more. I based her character sprite on Cornelia Hale ^^
EXTRA!! This week I decided to make another EXTRA!! patrons only post. It's been a while since I did one of those, so here you go. It'll have a few extra WIPs, make sure to check it out if you can ^^
And that is all I have to say for now. Thank you for your support. I'll see you all next Monday.

This may add more work, and it may seem like a stupid idea, but when I saw a post about the New Year’s quest, I thought about a quest for the player’s birthday. For example, I play Genshin Impact, where all the characters wish you birthday wishes.
Again, nothing stupid about it. And originally I even thought about implementing it. At the end the idea got shelved. Maybe in the Gold Edition :)
Hi! Thank you for your gorgeous work! Would it be like Witch Trainer(chibi game) or like Princess trainer(full-art)? Silly question, but I've seen only chibi arts on your patreon.
Not a silly question at all. I know that many people don't like the chibi stuff. Queen Trainer will be mostly chibi. Going full screen CG route would multiply the development by 5 at the very least -_-
Initial D I also watched a few years back (still hoping for a blu-ray release), it took me a little while to get used to that older Japanese art style. Didn't help the streaming service had what looked like a DVD quality stream, a bit rough. It gets better in the later series, by the fourth series "Fourth State" I really got into it. The first series he tends to win a bit too much (on his own well known area) so you don't feel as much stake in the racing scenes as you should, but the racing scenes are still good though. Later series the races feel better as he races different areas which spice things up a bit. Definitely worth a watch
Awesome. I am looking forward to watching all of it. I only watch an episode or two every few days though, so it's gonna take me some time. As for the art style, it's just the way the author of the manga draws humans. It took me a couple of episodes to stop noticing hideous faces :)
Initial D is awesome, I really enjoyed it! Glad you changed the colour of Esmeraldas eyes but I would never notice it simply because I am not that familiar with The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Good thing someone noticed it! Nice that the PSP surgery was successful, hopefully more awesome games will be played on it thanks to that. Also, fucking hell yeah that the character is based on Cornelia. I love her and overall feel nostalgic towards W.I.T.C.H. so thanks for that Akabro
Thank you for your words of support, Nepurin, as usual :) Yeah, I went flipping through some of the W.I.T.C.H. comics online, some of them have very nice artstyle. I even decided to order a few books online for reference but they are quite expensive so they shall remain in the wishlist for now. In any case, Cornelia Hale is in the game now and although you won't be able to marry her you will other things you will be able to do with her :)
Initial D I found to be a medium-to-good series with a killer soundtrack. Well worth the watch. Glad to see you made it to the new year! Keep on truckin'!
Yeah, I am don't expect Initial D to be the best thing ever. But I know it has a legendary status, and I like the theme of the racing and drifting and the music and the general retro (by now) wibes. In short: I enjoy it quite a lot so far.
This week's gif is from: P.N.03
God lord. You are too good.
Also is there a general faq about the game. Like planned release date, featured characters, mechanics, and synopsis? Navigating through patreon is a headache. I was hoping for a wiki or Google doc or something. Or discord?
'When it's done it will be released' generally tends to be the timescale.
After years of media casting marginalized people for canonicaly white characters, I ask myself does eye color matter?
To it matters because I want to stay closer to the original, because it makes it more fun for me. That's the only reason really XD
Oh, Esmeralda will look even prettier with green eyes! It's great that you took the time to fix it, it's that perfectionism and attention to detail that makes all the difference in the end 💪🏻 Bob will also have to fix his poster now 😉 Otherwise I'd never heard of the "Cornelia Hale" character, but her design looks very promising... Thanks for this 310th publication Akaboss!
Dammit! The poster is wrong now! T_T Oh well... You don't need the knowledge of the character, don't worry. You know I usually take those characters I make them my own anyways. :)
Initial D is fantastic, enjoy it, also thanks for all the info and good job
Just finished watching 3rd episode. It keeps getting better and better :)
Interesting research for work image on the psp. It could be for personal interests.
It's from my PORN folder that I put on my PSP like 20 years ago XD I completely forgot about it until I bought that SD adaptor and copied all the files from my old SONY memory card to CD card. It was interesting to rediscover a porn pics collection my younger self has assembled. I had good taste XD
nice green eyes !!!
Yeah, I think she looks a bit sexier now, that is definitely a plus!
Always papa always, I get tanks of silinders of milk ready for the game release.
