an endless story...
Stories from the Middle Kingdom, as I like to call them anything related to the Wuxia action movies of the era, only that this time. After how much I fell in love with the Story of Blade & Soul I wasn't able to continue playing that game for various reasons the aesthetics and setting of ancient China is something that I really wondered about since I was a child and I was longing for many years to continue a similar story.
Enter Thunderbolt Fantasy!!
Chinese folklore was first glimpe into Asia culture when I was a kid then continuing with Japan and all the Otaku world I love so much these days....
But this.... what a wonderful experiment that really shocked me as I was expecting anime and not ....walking and talking puppets??? in an art as old born in the XVII century in China as a way to entertain people
The story follows many stories of ancient chinese folklore with different depictions of ancient china, makai and demonic worlds, and an incredible swordplay mixing real action movement of the Super Sentai shows but translated into smaller puppets, still you gonna see A LOT of practical effects!!!
I've been watching this alongside the Fate/Universe stuff lately specially when I'm idling and not breaking my head making certain games work!! it always brings an incredible smile to my face. In fact...it was thanks to Fate/Zero and learning that Nitroplus had this other show up their sleeves that made me discover it!!, if you see anything related to Nitroplus please watch it its totally worth it and they never dissapoint!!!
Still I have to warn you that the show is a little bit slow to pickup pace in the first season until around episode 6~7 or so, so be patient as they will require to introduce a lot of characters in Chinese and Japanese names, in fact I still have difficulties remembering the names. So try to stick around until Season 2 and watch it too.. I believe you will be greatly surprised for this one!
CAT OK the show is great and we are having a blast with it but could you please STOP SCREAMING EVERYTIME THERES A FIGHT GOING!?!?
You GONNA BREAK AN ANKLE TOO!!!
OH PLEASE STOP BEING BORING!!!! THE SHOW IS PURE BLISS!!!!!

1st Month
Today kinda marks the first month since I began to work on the new project for Kiyomizu and I guess is not that difficult to guess what is it about if you take a look at my previous posts and well there has been some progress...
MY GOD CAT WHAT THE FUCK!!!
It actually is coming along ......somehow.... !?!
Yeaahhh about that.......there are several issues I still need to research and then attempt to fix for example for now I'm limited to local mode only till the launcher system is figured out entirely, then theres a weird issue with handshakes not being accepted and on top of all that very fun stuff regarding debugging things
I actually had to learn by force how to use x32dbg but some friends have been slowly teaching me how to use this program and read and understand ASM .
Either way this one in particular has been a journey, a journey to understand many things at once, it has been quite a bootcamp and i'm honestly very tired already so I go little by little
very little by little......everyday something new is discovered no matter how big or small and that's steady progress
For such an old game I think it's totally worth it
EVEN SO CAT!!! Incredible... incredible we are seeing these title screens and this game, zones, music etc.. we always wanted to play this version and had no money for it at the time.....
Hell we could barely get access to JP PSOBB and that was a very lucky chance thanks to the rabbit and her kindness!! sadly with RFO we didn't had the same luck so in a way you are getting a revenge with a game you always wanted to play after it's Open Beta ended isn't it???
Precisely... and I'm very happy, its likely will gonna be a 0 player game tho but who cares?, this one is being a labor of love I would dare to say even more than what the PSOBB server was as It has been a very lonely but rewarding journey totally on my own.
And Cat what happened with the cannibals on L2? still playing in your free time??
Sadly I think that server is dying because they kinda tricked us all (what is it that theres so much fuckery and trickery going on with these old games!?!? can't people just host a damn game as-is without weird shit and leave it running!?! is that difficult to do?? ffs
Anyways let's go to sleep!!!
CAT WAIT
What?!
Good job Cat let's continue
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
