From the tiny amount of English available it looks like the dlc is various amounts of paid currency. For what looks like an rpgmaker game :eek:

There's a difference between in-game items like a pay2win+1 sword or a hat shaped like a sailboat, vs selling bundles of in-game currency to buy the upgrades you need to complete the game.


Google translate mangles the description into gibberish but it looks like the designers intentionally designed the game to take 300+ hours of mandatory grinding to see all the content, with an option to waste money instead of time? I can think of a much more efficient way of declaring "nah gently caress that"


Bonus lol that the dev updated the steampage lede to tell players to stop modding/cheating.

WHY IS THIS GAME DEAD?!
1) Why the gently caress would someone write a local only multiplayer game?

2) Why the gently caress would someone make a game based on an unreleased 90's movie?

3) Why the gently caress are we even paying attention to this?

I think the answer in all cases is 'fetal alcohol'.

not to go to bat for laziness but.

these days, it's reasonably easy to get a program to send and receive data packets over the internet. cherry picking and translating the most meaningful data in your game to minimize your footprint is less easy--while you technically could sync 100kb of data, updated every frame, that would mean you would be handling 6*number-of-clients mb of data every second, which isn't exactly recommended.

using that data effectively is hard. it's really loving hard. you sent it, now what? it's worthless until you give it meaning in the context of your program, and that is a layer of logic that you had better have been planning for since the day you wrote your game's first line of code, otherwise you're gonna be shoveling it in haphazardly hoping to stopgap problems you never imagined would exist.

and then getting it to actually look nice? coding everything to flow and animate in a way that it could reasonably be perceived by the players as "yeah there is someone on the other side of the internet playing this game with me, they move like me and they animate correctly and there aren't any weird game-locking bug states with the animation or sync logic," that is just :psyboom:^100. if you haven't been anticipating implementing netplay since day one at this point, you might as well start over from scratch. throw it all out because chances are there's no way you can get the two to play nicely together if you haven't given it dozens, even hundreds of hours of forethought.

"why would you write a local only multiplayer game"

river city girls did this, most likely for the reasons i detail above. no shame in it, it's a mountain most people will never be mentally prepared to climb in their lifetimes.

Slightly disappointed that it's only listed as playable in English. If they're gonna do this they may as well fully commit to the joke and translate the game into Japanese as well, since Colonel Sanders is already inexplicably popular in Japan.

Isn't there already a weird tradition in Japan to have a date at KFC on Christmas which is practically their Valentine's Day? That honestly sounds like the actual origin story for the game so the lack of Japanese localisation is really strange.

I'm sure the Game Grumps and similar will play it, which is probably the best way to experience games like this.

Also the recommendations section of the KFC game recommended this gem:



A Romantic Comedy Visual Novel about a group of characters who are spontaneously transformed into members of the opposite sex

It's, uh. Well, you know what it is.

Yes, fried chicken is big around Christmas in Japan, and Christmas is basically a third Valentine's Day (Japan does celebrate actual Valentine's Day and chocolate companies invented White Day to double-dip on boosted chocolate sales) there.

You probably wouldn't have an actual date at KFC, because they would all be filled with families eating out.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

White day is when you give a gift to everyone that gave you a gift on Valentine's day.
