Jabiru: “I-I’m sorry, Mo-”

Fritz: “Don’t ‘mom’ me you idiot! How do you *accidentally* commit *ARSON*”

Jabiru: “I… I was just playing and then it went too fast!”

Fritz: “Well, be more careful!!”

Jabiru: “I will mo-” Fritz: “Call me mom, one more time, I *dare* you”

Jabiru: “What?... why can’t I call you mom?”

Fritz: “I have no kids”

*Jabiru sobbed again* Jabiru: “I’m sorry..”

*Slap them* - “OW!” Fritz: “Oh shut up” *They shut up*

Quit apologizing! - “I… I can’t help it” Fritz: “Then be better!”

C’mon, we’re going home - “O-ok…”

This is hopefully a reoccurring thing and I can stay consistent enough to get some updates out to you guys weekly from now on! So without further ado- here’s the first Tuff Tuesdays weekly update!

I’ve been working on sprite art for Sunset Memory Sunrise Promise. With the base lineart done for the love interests, I’m turning my attention to the other cast that will be featured in the demo. 

The idea is to get ALL lineart done before moving on to ALL flat color and then ALL shading, etc. etc. I’m making quality and consistency my goal! 

As well, I’ve been doing a lot of research into New England and Maine specifically, as well as coastal life on the U.S. east coast. There’s so many fun facts! Such as castle and old colonial fort remnants! I must incorporate this aesthetic into the game art for SMSP!

I’ve been working on plugging away at the game mechanics part of TCD- This means since there are various endings- how one goes about getting those endings. I’m trying to be careful about the meaningful choice flags and keeping an even ratio throughout the routes. I’m also beginning to code chapter 3 in, so I’ll be soon announcing the lets play of TCD chapter 3 on the Tuff Mallow server! Let me tell ya- Faun hits the ground running!

I’m excited for it. Okay! Before I get too wordy- just wanted to drop a snippet of things I’ve been up to this week. I’ll keep you posted as exciting things develop!

The player clicks on Belinda’s name

My crush is actually an amusing story for how she found our shop. I think she maybe comes in for me, but I’m not sure, considering the face she gets when she drinks our coffees. I’ve made it my mission to put a smile on her face one day, make her eyes light up when she drinks my coffee.

But when we get into our chats, it’s like all of her thoughts melt away.

She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Long, black hair that cascades down her back like a dark waterfall crashing down her back. Dark brown eyes that seem to go all the way into her soul, which is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

One thing I’ve noticed is she really really loves red. She seems to always be wearing something with red at least in it.

She likes revealing clothes too. She always seems to be exposing her chest and she likes to lean on the counter toward me while we’re chatting when she has her drinks. I’ve been spotted looking down and she only gets this look in her eyes like she’s drinking me up.

However, let me tell you about the first time she came in.

She came in smelling of liquor. Like... really smelling of liquor and she had this lazy, daring look in her eyes like she was daring me to comment on it. But when I didn’t, her demeanor seemed to change a bit. She seemed to relax as she leaned onto the counter (perhaps in the most revealing outfit she’d ever been in - she’d obviously been partying). She was wearing her usual red stilettos. I could swear there was a red liquid staining them but the liquid was such a similar color to the shoes, and I was so distracted by her to be able to really tell.

She leaned onto the counter.

“I’d like some whiskey,” she said bluntly, waving vaguely into the air. I glanced back inside the counter.

“Um... this is a coffee shop,” I said, looking and sounding confused. She held my eyes as a slow smile filled her eyes. She leaned in so close I could smell her scent as she quietly said to me, “You mean to tell me you have no liquor? You work in a place like this and you don’t hide a flask on you?” My face pinkened at her words but I couldn’t say no to her...

Biting my lip, I slowly reached into a hidden pocket in my jacket and flashed my flask before putting it away again. She smiled, like she was silently bragging for being right and at the same time saying I knew it.

I shifted.

“Um, what do I get if I give you this special drink?” I asked, feeling more daring than usual. What was this intoxicating woman doing to me? I could swear that I was getting a contact drunk off of the strong scent of whiskey and rum coming off of her body.

She laughed goodnaturedly at that.

“I’ll give you extra for it,” she said, eyes studying me like she was waiting for my reaction.

“I don’t want a bigger tip,” I said, still feeling daring but my heart was thundering painfully in my chest. She smirked at that.

“Who said I was talking about money?” I practically fell over at that. There was a certain tone in her voice.

--

I was still waiting for whatever she’d promised me that day.

Just as I was coming back to reality from the memory, she slipped inside, wearing a sparkling red dress that hugged her every curve. My brows lifted as I got to making her usual drink. Well, when I say usual, I mean trying to make something that she’d like. I was still testing the different drinks to see what she was into and what she wasn’t. This time I thought I knew the perfect drink for her.

“Hey, cutie,” she greeted from her side of the counter, leaning heavily on it as she always did. I glanced up, lost in her eyes for a second, causing me to drop the grounds that I held. She giggled while I stumbled to find the broom.

“Oh! Belinda! Hi,” I greeted, stumbling on my words. She only looked amused at that, smiling at me.

“What’s going on back there?” She asked. “Do I have to dirty a new dress to help you out?” I stumbled over my response to the point that she laughed it off and told me to relax. She checked her nails while she tilted her head in that beautiful way she did when she was concentrating.

“So um, Belinda...”

Should you immediately bring up the Kissing Booth and try to get her to come or bring up other conversation first?

Bring up the booth

Ask her what she’s so dressed up for

Comment on her dress/compliment her

Radiant Dawn’s localization used the normal script and skipped most of the extended script. Serenes Forest has some of the extended script translated, though its transcription of RD’s script is still incomplete (like almost all of Part 3, save for the first and last two chapters).

I’m just translating Zelgius and Levail’s conversation at the end of Part 3, Chapter 2 out of personal bias. I’d have to check the scripts in more detail to pinpoint any differences beforehand; I only know of Nailah having an extra line (that consists of “I see... I agree”).

The regular version of the script can be read via Fedule’s LP.

Okay, the English version of Cormag and Artur’s A support is screwy. Artur tells Cormag that wyvern stones are rarer than dragonstones, and there’s only a handful of them in the world. According to what Lyon tells Selena, there’s only two dragonstones in the world (and, by the context of the story, he's probably referring to Morva and Myrrh). By that logic, Cormag’s in possession of the only wyvern stone in Magvel. Which doesn’t make any sense.

So, since it was bugging me, I did the totally normal thing and looked up the JP script. Not only did it answer my questions, I found some interesting differences between the different versions.
