Things are improving little by little. I have looked into signs of depression, though I'm most likely bored.

I've recently been looking into the PC-98 as Japanese PC games have always been a mysterious place. Getting my hands on an old art software and learning how old computers worked with an emulator. The Multi Paint System.

The files I first got were bad, as they only had the HDM files. Thankfully some redditor got his hands on a copy and made a better dump along with a tutorial to put dithered images in the software.

Looking up information on the PC-98 has helped regenerate my interest in art, as the dithering effect in these old games made amazingly beauiful art. I do believe that the dithering wasn't done by hand because THAT'S FUCKING CRAZY, and Multi Paint proved this fact to me.

I've been slowly picking up on new mixing techniques for music when looking up osts that display the midi tracks. I'm only just dipping my toes into automated clipping, so this could definitely improve my sound mixing as it's known to get pretty muffled.

Also here's what I managed to make in Multi Paint System. It's suppose to be Rakuchan. It's shit, but it's my first time for a program this old. If you're thinking of trying this out, USE A MOUSE INSTEAD. I know it sucks, but a tablet pen will send the cursor flying I TRIED. I don't know if it's the emulator I'm using or what, but the UI seems to be having a graphical problem as everything is WHITE AS FUCK. Sense I got multiple different emulators when trying to get this game running, I'll try Neko Project II instead just incase if there's a difference from Neko Project 21. Also I saw it show up more often than 21, so who knows...

See you later!
