spent 15 hours playing the entirety of the game on Sunday (and a bit on Saturday night but ssshhh)

Very deep game to be sure
Iā€™m gonna post a video that has the opening sequence since itā€™s really beautiful
but you have to skip to like 2 minutes in so Iā€™ll also post the song and poem thing

she was missing that night
we looked everywhere
searched everywhere
shouted her name everywhere

yet not a single trace of her
not even a trail
not even a shadow
not even a ghost

itā€™s been a long time since it rained like this
ā€œah, i love the touch of raindrops sliding down my faceā€
i never knew what she meant by that
but iā€™m content the night sky was showering rain for her

the heavy rain tells me you are there
but at the same time
you are nowhere

a million cries and hours have passed
i finally surrendered at last

i ran as far as i could
like she told me i should
until eventually
i found myself missing

within me, i looked everywhere
searched everywhere
shouted my name everywhere
yet not a single trace of me

it felt like the world had ended
but a part of me wants to believe

The world hasnā€™t ended yet

Do I still need to make more setupsā€¦?
I have made over a dozen, yet I still donā€™t feel fulfilledā€¦

What do you like about making setups? Whatā€™s your favourite part

Make one setup where each of the roles is an entire setup in-and-of-themselves.

(Not a gotcha just wondering what could be fulfilling that isnā€™t)

The act of creating something.
The process of making either building blocks or glue that binds the blocks together.
Looking back at the time when I get burnt out and threw some cheap solution, before either replacing or improving the cheap solution.

ā€¦if it wasnā€™t obvious before, player consideration is never a priority. It is something I ā€œeventuallyā€ take account to, but my motivation has always been ā€œinnovationā€.

I have a bit of a delay between eating and feeling full, so if I have something yummy and calorie dense, i easily get 2,000 without even realizing it

I already did something similar to that with Chaos Revisited ā€¦and I think I did something similar to this again with Encroaching Darkness?

Hmā€¦ the roles are the setupā€¦
No. I was already given this advice, and I already said I didnā€™t have enough building blocks. I have one to three solid roles, but thatā€™s obviously nowhere near enough.

I could probably do that with a couple of Oreo milkshakes.
Definitely not with actual food, though; Iā€™d tap out after 2,000 calories.

I know you said you were very satisfied with Undertale Overhaul 2, but have you felt like the other setups youā€™ve made have been, like, individually fulfilling? Something you feel is innovative enough to be satisfied with?

My first thought would be that youā€™d want to go with a bigger project rather than more prohects, cause 10 is a ton of setups, kinda trains your brain to view them as routine. Hard to get as much satisfaction from doing the same thing over and over again. Not impossible, but harder
