I wanted to see what #Godot 's support for (pirate) translations was like for @maygame.bsky.social. Thankfully it wasn't too difficult to add basic support for.
Naturally, I'll handle any pirate translations myself. 🙃

Ever wonder how graphics are made for the NES?
Here's how I get full screen graphics, like this, from my PC into my NES game, Super Sunny World🌞! I'll try to keep it high level, and avoid anything super technical.

Cutscenes are coooomplicated😵💫. You have to keep track of:
* Actual dialogue
* What happens
* What might happen (under X circumstance)
* What lore is revealed
* Desired emotional response from player
And make sure it all progresses and is consistent across multiple scenes. 🫠

I tried the Fractured Library demo and enjoyed its pixel art and sense of humor. 😁
Their kickstarter ends in 1 week and they're almost at the goal.
Consider trying the demo and backing the project if you like it! ^^

Some cutscenes in this game may play out differently depending on your actions. Like, say, if you're in midair when someone tells you to freeze.
(Do NOT tell someone to freeze when they're in midair.)
