May. 4th, 2024 05:15 amRecently, Affonso gave me an updated patch for Marenian Tavern Story, but wasn't able to increase the Thick Leather Menu's number of spaces from 10 to 12. Currently, I still have yet to test the changes he did make, having had some people's graphics to revise (someone currently working on Konata's house for Starbound has kept me quite busy), but while he declined to try any further even for extra pay, I would like to help him learn how to decompile and disassemble games if possible.
From there, I asked Vadim to analyze the game code and come up with some kind of approach. (Whether or not Affonso takes that up is up to him; I could still provide it to someone else.) When I asked him the other day for any progress, he stated that he couldn't find the PC version anywhere, only the mobile version.
I linked him to the game's Steam page, but as it turned out over these past few days, he wasn't able to buy it, not due to any issues with Steam itself, but because he has yet to obtain a new bank card after his current one recently expired.
At some point, it dawned on me to send him the game as a gift. Not only would it seem fair to cover an expense for him for all the work he's been doing (and it helps that it's 50% off right now), but that had also given me a chance to tap into my Steam wallet, where I've had credit mostly sitting around for years now.
(Bryan Espinosa, the person currently responsible for Trails in the Sky, did claim the other day to have that game decompiled to its assembly language. He has yet to send me anything, but I did both him and Vadim know that I will have the latter look it over for authenticity if the former does end up sending it.)
