This is why it is so important when making art to absolutely never consider your audience, and in fact to try and spite them as much as possible.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

i am SO INTIMIDATED by having to make the combat in lucou because there is also only so much i can do without at least some sort of rudimentary enemy AI to test it out on. i can't test things like hitstuns and launches and shield parries without an active enemy!!

perhaps since progression items all have dedicated buttons, instead of having two hotkey items i might be able to get away with just having one? since that one will only be used for stuff like bombs and potions and can easily be reassigned via the item wheel

lucou is a project i do get very anxious about putting out into the world because of how much it means to me. i dont think i could handle someone ripping it To Shreds and undoubtedly that is something that will eventually happen with how prominently it features LGBT characters

i wish i could port tricky to the dreamcast but i'd have to seriously limit the draw distance and also i'd have to rebuild it in an engine that works on dreamcast and none of those engines have any editor software so it's nothing but code
