An occasionally aspiring game developer who doesn't really know when to quit.

We've released v0.0.250 for DELTARUNE Chapter 5 on Steam & PlayStation. This fixes a number of minor issues and bugs across the game. We'll do one more patch after this!

A character in the game called "Shi" dislikes "Kikky". That is because "Shi" doesn't like vermin. (Maybe thinks Kikky is a bacterium) Also, for in-game setting purposes, "Kikky" could be thought of as just the cats from the Mike minigames (the Mikes must take care of them when not in use) (?)

I bought her the same cheap toy like 8 times and every time she instantly loses it and then starts yelling because she doesn't know where it is. Makes me wonder if she would have been happier if she never knew that Toy existed in the first place...

From Toby: When I played this on the piano, my mom said "you know, usually songs do more than just repeat..." Sorry Mom. Anyway, the version in-game sounds very different. Don't be surprised.

These guys are called FLORADINN. You can think of them like the “Rudinn” of Chapter 5. Their favorite thing is FLOWERS. They usually don’t get what’s going on, but they are chill and don’t care. I like these guys.

The actual testing period will last for an indefinite amount of time. After that, the game needs to get approved on consoles and we need to do various other things to prepare for release. That'll be all from me on this subject for a while...

The professional testers are familiarizing themselves with the game now. They begin formally testing on April 1st. Japanese translation quality assurance is projected to be completed in April. Outside of addressing bugs and translation, most of the development team has moved on from Chapter 5.

We'll receive the first draft of the Japanese translation of Chapter 5 next week! Meanwhile, we've been polishing the game and doing some preliminary internal bugtesting on PC. Heavy bugtesting across every console will happen when the Japanese translation is done.

A friend of mine was using a tool to analyze market research for his game. As a check he tested it on DELTARUNE. Seems like I have a lot of things to work on...

Weaknesses:
- Unskippable cutscenes
- Some chapters feel half-baked
- Minor bugs
- Excessive makeout scenes
- Slow segments in gameplay
