This game is so disappointing. I expected more physics-breaking and sweet vehicle mods from a premise as stupid as this.

It's hard not to just repeat how incredibly amazing this poo poo is after every update. Just like, what the heck. Gay Construction Vehicle Dueling Drama is never something I thought to experience before and don't think will ever happen again.

It's like, literally unique.

Well, that was something alright.

Not sure what the meaning of the two fighter jets or the two rockets is though.

If nothing else, this game has more diversity and tolerance than most mainstream AAA games have. Which is a pretty sad fact all things considered.

I have to ask: is cutting away to dolphins a Thing in Japan? Because to be honest, I wasn't expecting such a thing to appear again in my lifetime.

I know that this update is :psyduck: as gently caress, but my mind has refused to let go of this question. I mean it's just...what is this I don't even

The roses that kept cropping up are the traditional symbol of homosexuality for Japan, as this Short film on the subject explains. Cannot recommend it enough.

Bottlenose Dolphins are one of several animals to engage in homosexual thangs also.

THERE IS ONLY ONE
If The Dark Id has taught me anything, it's that LP quality is directly proportional to the time between updates.



It's business as usual at Kongo Construction, no doubt having taken just as long to get their poo poo together as I have mine.



- ...By the way, Matsubayama, have you seen Kyoko?

- No. Sometimes she just...disappears.

- I think I can guess why.

- You've noticed it too?

- Of course! I'm not the boss for nothing, you know! I've got my eye on all the details, at all times.



- ...Yeah. I'll go look for her.

A smart move by Matsubayama, who barely makes it three steps before...intruige!



Yuuki - We're not finished here yet! Look, okay!?

- I'm saying I don't want to! Let me go, Yuuki!

- That's a Shurabe Corp uniform...

Meanwhile, the gang gathers up again to find out the results of their next job.



- Yes. So, it has to be decided by another method... Most likely, Construction Vehicle Battle.

I was going to make a joke about how they should resolve it in some way far more fun like legal proceedings, but I screenshotted this update nearly two months ago and I still wish I'd spent that time playing Phoenix Wright.

Also, congrats Adachi, you're in the shot this time.




- I have to say, information might be leaking to Shurabe.

- What!? Be careful what you say!! You think there's a Shurabe spy among us, do you?!

- How can you doubt any of us? After all we've been through!



And a line, too. Someone's moving up in the world.

- For a start, if they know our bid, why just match it?



See, my dad actually is a construction manager, so I know that when they're talking about bids being lower, they're talking about offering to do the job for less money for the sake of giving the client a better deal. Part of me is really, really unsure that the dev team knew this.

- ...I guess you have a point.

- Stop the pointless pondering and let's get ready to fight! ...Hahaha, I'm gonna love giving those Shurabe another beating.

- Didn't you want to avoid damaging our machines?

On the way out...



- You...you know...?

Before this riveting plot hook has a chance to progress, we find ourselves at another identical construction site with Mr. M. An.



- This guy is taking things a little far...

- Well then, Shurabe! Who have you got for us today? Hahahahaha!



The music that starts up here is genuinely loving creepy and has me wondering if the cast actually has their own themesongs.

- ...You just giving this one away, are you?

Shiro - Talk big while you can, Hayato. Though I say so myself, a weak looking opponent can often turn out to be the strongest!



Of course this dickbag is here as well.

Narita - If he gets upset then he goes berserk! You'll see yourself soon enough!

- ...Can I just go home?



A lovely, boring fight follows. No new vehicles introduced on either side and we're already recycling vehicles from Hayato.





- Hey! The bids being the same was just a lie!?

Narita - What!? Then we should have got this job!

I still don't believe they get it.



- Since that first battle...I've been hooked! I love to see them fighting!





What follows is the sound of pummelling.

Narita - Why you--!!

And then more pummelling.

- Ugh--!!

drat, Narita, you might have just earned yourself a character icon after all.

- Oh, man. So it was all just that idiot's work. Which means, Matsubayama, that there is no spy after all!

- ...

How many 'but thens' am I going to end up throwing into this?

- Hayato! Come quickly! It's Kyoko!

- What? Has she fainted from seeing me in action?

- Just come quickly!

Quickly they go, as we immediately cut to the next screen to meet...the big bad!



- Kyoko!



- And you're Ume Shurabe!

Ume Shurabe, ruthless leader of the Shurabe Corporation finally shows his face - and he's got a hold of Kyoko too! How will our lightning quick witted hero get--


Click the image above for a cutscene!

- Let Kyoko go!

of course

It goes as well as expected and Hayato gets decked.




- Gaaah!



Shurabe - Kongo whelp. If you want to continue breathing, do not take Ume Shurabe as your enemy.



Kyoko is bundled into the back of Shurabe's car, and away they speed!



- Hey, Danoura! Get the car! Get after them!

And the chapter ends on an actual cliffhanger, with so many questions unanswered!

Like 'why the gently caress was this game made'.

Fun fact, the people who made this are still in business. If any of you have played Dragon Ball Battle of Z, you have these guys to thank for yet another game where every character plays identically in an impossible to control environment.

Whatever. See you all in December!

So in case you're wondering what's taking me so long to update, it would mostly be because I made an attempt to capture and transcript the entire game in one sitting so I'd never have to force myself to capture anything again. It backfired. My computer froze and I basically lost the entire transcript after the game had saved with me having beaten it.

There's no chapter select.

So the idea of forcing myself to play through all of this again is so unbelievably maddening I'm really struggling to force myself to do it.

I will find a way to complete this LP by Christmas.
