Great work as always, @Switch and @Miles Prower !
I had another look through the dialogue text, and as you say the use of "uncle" by the two children Rongli and Laifu could indeed be a general term referring to a middle-aged man, rather than their literal uncle. Either interpretation is technically possible here, but I have adjusted the article text slightly to avoid assuming there is a definite family relationship for now, unless confirmation is found. Thanks for pointing this out - and sorry @Miles Prower for making an adjustment after your creation of the family tree!I was wondering about the family tree too, but like "grandmother" (obaa-san) can be used for an elderly woman you are familiar with in Japan, the same goes for "uncle" (ojii-san) in that it can be used for an older man you are familiar with. I don't know if there is a way to know whether it's an actual blood relation uncle, or just an older man you are familiar with.
I guess the next revelations could be from the 10k backer scripts (if they ever got delivered?)
It would be hilarious if they have blacked out pages though
Would've been interesting if they had implemented a status bar through the VMU screen for Fangmei's side-quest, much like the Iron Palm training with Kenmin/Jianmin.Just to chip in a bit of info found at the file `MISC\FLAG.BIN` (found completely randomly, while looking curiously at the files of the Game Jam prototype) :
It has the following references:
Which seems to be related with the findings. "Transport drug" and "bicycle".Code:TRANSPORT_DRUG BICYCLE_FIAST BICYCLE_DRUG VISIT_RA INQUIRE_RA FORWARD_HAKUSIN MYAOKOH_FIND GEKAN_GET TOSYOKEN_MEMO READ_BURINSYO READ_BURIN_F
Not sure about the rest; could "BURINSYO" actually be "Wulinshu", and "read burinsyo" actually means "read Wulinshu"? As there is also another mention of "BURINSYO" close to (let's call them) events, which seem to be related with the ones where Ryo wanted to get the book and Xiuying Hong told him to catch leaves:
Here says "GET_BURINSYO", so probably means "Get Wulinshu".Code:RARE_BOOK_DAY RARE_BOOK GET_BURINSYO SYE_SNATCH SNATCH_TODAY LEAF_SNATCH SNATCH_THREE
There is some other interesting texts (not related with this thread, but while talking about them):
"ONCEUPONATIME" sounds funny to me (maybe a fairytale told by Shenhua to Ryo?) and... "BEAR_QTE"!? You have to evade some panda/bear somewhere in the rural areas of Guilin? (unless if "BEAR" ...bears another meaning, sorry for the pun... ) (And seems "KUN" (Fangmei) has 4-5 staged of love for Ryo...) - All such flag's texts can be found here.Code:ONCEUPONATIME BEAR_QTE KUN_LOVE_CHK KUN_LV1_CHK KUN_LV2_CHK KUN_LV3_CHK KUN_LV4_CHK
There's a render of Akira at a train station: 'Virtua Fighter C.G Portrait Series'.IIRC missing to get the boat meant arriving HK during the rain season hence the missable event/s. Of all cut features this is my most regreted. Events unfolding matching Magic Weather its my fav S1 flag (besides training)
It seems that beta S1, money had major role with some S2 parlors appearing and always wandered what options related to money they left... it can't be just the ticket, scrolls, gachas and drinks during all the development.
Same here. Normally I always prefer the final changes over the beta, like RE2 better than 1.5 but in this case they nailed it swapping the rural area. 20yrs later and I still feel Guilin and Shen Hua encounter as the first time. It was very brave to pace a game like that.
Edit: I remember a concept CG with Ryo travelling on a plane and standing in some airport/train station. Did i dreamed that?
Because for spanish speakers that polite form(?) you used "sounds" like talking to a god. Like:whats so funny @Seaman?

. Are you The One? Yes. Im him. Im The One. The One with The Scripts! Behold!
(We) Heal me, heal me.
This is curious because while we have two variants for "you" depending on context:
Tu (familiar person) and Usted/Vos(unrelated person also elderly). English has to use the phrase context to sound polite and sometimes that could result in lols.
I cant help at having fun with english quirks, its nuts fun.
But we can set at sundown for dueling, just PM. But I choose a gun.
Yes exactly thats me. I will smash my chin against your knuckles, then I'll hit your knee with my ribs... You gonna see me suffer boy

This is amazing @LanDC.
I have a question for you. Are you the one who has the Legend Of Akira scripts?
Can you share the OUTSIDE of themI'm one of the ones with the scripts, yes. I'm not allowed to share anything inside them.
how long does the NDA last? Are we allowed to see the NDA I am just curious if there will be a day we get to see them. You lucky dog you.I'm one of the ones with the scripts, yes. I'm not allowed to share anything inside them.
Seriously? Penalty is suicided with a plastic bag by Sega Sammy Corp. private security aka death squads. Believe me, I've been around... Those people doesn't play around coming to assets breachs.Are they full scripts? Or up to a certain point?
What's the penalty of breaching the NDA? I'm sure we will all chip in to cover
Haha, you are joking, but some videogame Japanese companies are known to historically have had ties with the Yakuza! And the one on this article is obvious to be Sega:Seriously? Penalty is suicided with a plastic bag by Sega Sammy Corp. private security aka death squads. Believe me, I've been around... Those people doesn't play around coming to assets breachs.
I bet LanDC is not replying anymore because he already been dispatched. I mean, he is dead now.
