So I learned that the Palword devs, Pocketpair Inc, are JP. Man look at that, they got tricked into adding Body Type A/B into the game :kekw:

Now, it's funny, because the gun additions are also justified with "Americans are doing this thing." But unlike Body Type A/B, it was a lucky choice, because it made the game absurd and hilarious for the better. Their market presence is amplified due to it. A thing done right, for the wrong reason.

ALSO HOLY SHIT the flash drives man lmao

@Cayhr the flash drives thing is indeed hilarious. I have no idea how git works and I find it really annoying to deal with so every milestone I make on my game I'll zip up the project files and put them on 3 different flash drives and all the drives in my PC. The live version is synced to my Google Drive so if anything ever goes wrong I can grab files from there, or my laptop which is also synced to the drive.

Maybe a little jank, but it's MY jank.

@beardalaxy @Cayhr another interview claimed he used SVN or something. but then again the dev was running on low money so
@beardalaxy @Cayhr my plan when I do gamedev is to burn BDXL discs or similar and store that shit long term.

@Pawlicker @Cayhr yeah I'm gonna start burning CDs with stuff as soon as I actually get my drive working.

@beardalaxy @Cayhr i kinda wanna do that when I do PC98/DOS gamedev ngl as well, maybe a network share with LANMAN or Netware or something.

@Pawlicker @Cayhr I also just like the idea of having all these old physical versions of the game, like they did in ye olden days.

@Pawlicker @Cayhr if I could work on my game directly from a flash drive I would, but that corrupts stuff really fast. I used to be able to do that back in like 2010 but things have become more complex now it seems.
