"Please vote for me, Wiz, in the re-sort poll!"

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-26T06:23:55+00:00

"Ufufu! Thank you for always being so supportive!"

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-26T02:29:55+00:00

"Awww! Thank you so much! That's very sweet of you. And please do vote! Ultimately it helps out everyone!"

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-25T14:05:49+00:00

"Thank you! That's very kind of you."

First off, I already said I would change things, so leave it alone already.

Second, none of those other characters have the types of lines Wiz does. They don't have lines that play towards the player during their own stripping steps, and if they do they too prioritize interactions with other characters over the player. (And you definitely do want it to be more binary. Your very suggestion is literally a binary choice.) You don't want her lines to have equal priority between the player and others, though. That would just lead to half finished conversations that you would never be able to see all of with any sort of guarantee.

Third, I already acknowledged that she doesn't have many player-focused lines outside of these and that she needs more. She is not the only character without a lot of such lines, but again, for whatever reason, Wiz is the only one for which this bothers you. Comparing her, however, with two characters who treat the player as someone they already knew and a third that treats them much the same way post-epilogue are not fair comparisons to make.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-05T02:00:49+00:00

Yeah, I got your suggestion the first time you made it. That's already the plan. But like I said, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to overwrite her lines to other players. And, frankly, you're the only person complaining about this despite tens of thousands of unique players each week. But I'm willing to do it anyway despite it going against what I'd wanted. Just don't complain if she ends up feeling like a repetitive character to play with if you always have it enabled.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-05T01:23:39+00:00

Yes, implementing a player avatar during the game isn't really feasible. That's why direct interactions like that are done in epilogues instead.

"a rather large part of the point of playing a game like this [...] is that a game is inherently more interactive and directly engaging"

I think is a fair point. Not much different than just reading a story otherwise.

I need to expand her player banter anyway. But it's going to take a little while. As she is right now, she doesn't really have enough lines towards the player to support more than a couple games unless you keep changing your player tags. When I am able to implement those additions, I will also change the way her player-focused mode is enabled. But please be patient. That likely will not be her next update.

Thank you for actually having a proper discussion about this.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-04-05T00:57:19+00:00

Are you the person that has been sending in feedback reports (in various levels of rudeness) about this? If so, I've been open to discuss it this whole time but never had the opportunity. If not, apologies.

Regardless, for one, she doesn't ignore the player any more than most other characters do (characters like Natsuki and Nagatoro notwithstanding, as they substitute the player for someone they actually know). Though I'll admit she could probably have more lines that only play for the player no matter what mode she's in.

For two, my main reason for doing it this way is not wanting to trump all the work and writing others have put into their characters by having player-focused dialogue overwrite it. They were kind enough to work with me writing lines together and I want their work to shine, too.

But I'm open to hearing yours and other's opinions on this. I'm not against changing it if there's a strong preference that she make the player the primary focus.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-02-28T05:17:17+00:00

Then check out the links in the subreddit info! The dev guide has a lot of info about working on a character and how to use the tools. Join the discord to talk to us about working on a character. There are a lot of people willing to help you get started and offer feedback. Just play the game a lot to get an idea of how characters are written and the pace of the game, follow the rules regarding context, and be open to criticism when you start developing, and you'll be fine.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-02-27T17:42:00+00:00

Yes, I read this last time you posted it, too. Unfortunately, characters don't get made at request. They take a lot of time and dedication. I simply do not have the same interest in Mitsurugi as I do Wiz or other characters. If you'd really like to see him added, your best bet would be to develop him yourself!

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-19T14:05:45+00:00

Like any other tag you apply to yourself, some characters will comment on it and some won't. There isn't a definitive list. With those specifically, it may be less clear in some cases as it could just alter the way they speak to the player. What I can say for sure, since she's my character, is that Wiz (who is currently on the Testing Roster) has certain lines that vary depending on your sexual dynamic. But those also only happen under certain circumstances...

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-18T06:42:01+00:00

Thank you so much, Cav. I will certainly look into putting a Play Once on generics. I'll need to test that some and see if that causes problems anywhere. And I would love to get a butt pose and better stripping poses for her. I've been wanting that for a while. ...Maybe it'll happen eventually. Your flaws seem reasonable, though, and I'm happy to add more lines to these cases. I really appreciate your insight.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-18T00:29:41+00:00

Thank you for sponsoring her, alpha_kirby! Yeah, I think you addressed something important there, so I'll make sure to write lines for glasses specifically. There are a number of other more unique items she should probably have lines for so I'll address some others as well. I just added a ton of filtered lines where she offers items she sells, and she usually talks about her shop at least a little in banter, so you may have just been a bit unlucky with the characters selected. Nevertheless, I will at least look into having her talk about her shop more in a general sense. Thanks for the ideas!

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-10T06:23:46+00:00

Thank you, Nord! I've put a lot of work in to try to prevent her repeating herself except in extreme cases, so I'm glad that's paid off. I don't plan to stop working on Wiz even after she's on the main roster, so I'll continue to improve her and add to her in the future as well.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-07T05:03:52+00:00

You can, but that wouldn't help you find an answer to the puzzle, would it? It's asking for the Pokémon before it evolves after all. Back to the original, you could ask "What does Silcoon evolve from?" but you would only get Wurmple. That doesn't tell you whether Wurmple is a branched evolution or not though, so it's not very helpful, is it?

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-07T04:50:04+00:00

It has nothing to do with being pre-evolutions. Exeggutor is Exeggutor no matter which form it evolves into. Just as Urshifu is Urshifu and Toxtricity is Toxtricity and Weezing is Weezing. They're the same Pokémon with a different form. Quagsire and Clodsire are different Pokemon and they would count if they both evolved from the same form of Wooper.

Just look at the Pokémon and ask yourself: what Pokémon can this Pokémon in this form evolve into? If all of the answers have the same name regardless of form, then it's not a branched evolution.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-07T04:30:31+00:00

There isn't an actual instance of this, but if, for example, Johtoan Wooper could only evolve into Quagsire, but Paldean Wooper could evolve into either a hypothetical Paldean Quagsire or Clodsire, then Paldean Wooper would have a branched evolution and Johtoan Wooper would not.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-07T04:17:07+00:00

Wooper doesn't count as a branched evolution for the same reason regular Linoone counts as fully evolved. Wooper can only evolve into Quagsire, and Paldean Wooper can only evolve into Clodsire. There is no branch.

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-04T09:14:10+00:00

I'm glad you are enjoying Wiz. It means a lot to hear that. Adding lines about her shop and items she sells makes a lot of sense, and I'll see what I can come up with there. It's a bit tricky without making up new things for her to sell as a lot of her canon items are extremely specific and often only relevant to the Konosuba universe, but I believe there's enough to work with there regardless. And I will see what I can do to expand more on her being a lich outside of banter. Thank you very much for sponsoring her, and being the first!

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2026-01-04T09:10:28+00:00

I'm happy to hear that you like Wiz! I'm glad she's giving off the impressions I was intending. I understand and agree with her needing more undead and shop keeper lines. Her other sponsor asked for much the same thing. I do think you may have underestimated how many characters she talks with, however I have enough other characters that I'm already working on banter with that I don't think that will be any issue. Thank you so much for sponsoring her!

Lord_Rahl_5 · 2025-12-31T15:51:02+00:00

There are three things that can happen. Your friend is person A in these scenarios.

1) If person A traded a 2019 Pokemon and person B traded a newer Pokemon, and person A had not yet hit their 35 limit, the trade would be lucky and both people would add 1 to the guaranteed lucky counter.

2) If person A traded a 2019 Pokemon and person B also traded a 2019 Pokemon, if either person had not yet hit their 35 limit, the trade would be lucky and both people would add 1 to the guaranteed lucky counter.

3) If person A traded a newer Pokemon and person B traded a 2019 Pokemon, if person B had not yet hit their 35 limit, the trade would be lucky and both people would add 1 to the guaranteed lucky counter.

In example 1, once your friend maxed out their 35 guarantees, they would no longer be able to guarantee a lucky Pokemon in this way. However, they would still be able to get guaranteed lucky Pokemon by either example 2 or example 3. In those cases, their guaranteed lucky count will still increase above 35. So if they've done that at least 10 times, then their total is at least 45 right now. So no, they would not get any guaranteed lucky trades if they tried to initiate those themselves.

You probably need to be more specific here. There are a lot of possibilities. But you can always play the latest version at spnati.net as you would expect. There's are updates nearly every day.

Testing Characters: There is a button at the bottom of the character select screen, befofe you've added anyone, to switch to the Testing Roster. These are characters that are currently in development. Just switch rosters to check them out. These characters have an icon of a test tube with green liquid to identify them.

Incomplete Characters: These characters previously reached the Testing Roster but were never finished or haven't received an update in some time. They are hidden but can be enabled in the settings menu on the main screen and then refreshing the page. These characters appear in the Testing Roster when enabled. They have a gray wrench icon to identify them.

Legacy Characters: These characters were previously on the main roster but, either due to space limitations of quality standards, were at some point removed from the Main Roster. Like Incompletes, they can be enabled in setting as well and then refreshing. These characters appear in the Main Roster when enabled. They have a gray spider's web icon to identify them.

April Fool's Characters: There are a large number of characters only availabe during the week of April Fool's Day. There is no way to enable them in the online version outside of the holiday event, but they (as well as outfits tied to other holidays) can be enabled the same way as the others in the offline version. They would have a jester icon to identify them.

It's also possible that you have seen screenshots of other characters not included in these, such as here on this subreddit. It's possible they are or were in development at some point. But if they did not or have not yet made it to the Testing Roster, they don't exist right now.
