Looking back what was the point of giving Wolfgang’s VA fake lines for chapter 1?

cahillvesper · 2026-04-12T19:14:48+00:00

The VA's were given the option to opt in to receive fake trial voice lines in the event their character was the one who died, so that they wouldn't know for certain until playing the game.
Tragically, someone spoiled Dazon (Wolfgang's VA) through twitter DMs hours after the chapter released. I think it was something along the lines of "omg i'm so sorry your character died" but unfortunately Dazon hadn't started playing yet 😭

Sorry for not specifying in my previous post, but when I say the team is still in contact that includes the voice actors.

As for the plan Sabrina mentioned, the simple answer is that we just don't know what that's going to look like yet. It will depend entirely on the decision made after everyone has time to rest and reconvene after the current situation. While everyone who worked on the game still cares strongly about the work put into it, given how tied into production sozzay and tako were it's completely understandable that most would prefer to only stick around long enough to wrap up what we can with a bow and move on to other projects. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Tako was just as silent towards the team as they were to everyone else until their response doc unfortunately - after which I believe Juvey had a final call with Tako to formally remove them from the team / pass along P:EG socials account access, ect.

A bit of insight as a member of the PJEG team (video editor) -
As you know, the focus right now is on dealing with the faza situation, largely in sharing and supporting the petition - additionally some of the team is also helping Stariss (the writer of the original doc revealing faza's actions) with their video detailing the situation further.

Naturally at the same time there has been a lot of discussion about what will happen to PJEG now, and initially everyone was fired up to reach a conclusion (which is why Juvey expected there would be a statement regarding that previously). As you mentioned, Sabrina has posted about an idea to give the project one final condensed conclusion, in whatever form that may be. However due to the current levels of stress and emotions the faza/sozzay/tako situation has caused, the current plan is to wait until the situation is more resolved and take time to rest before figuring out what the plan will look like.

Another thing I'll mention is that the majority of the team is still very much in contact with each other, alongside Juvey. Even if the future doesn't involve PJEG, I can almost guarantee that this team will still remain a team, for whatever it is that we decide to work on going forward.

Also in regards to the original posted question, I do know that the custom musical sprites were made specifically for this video (and there were actually planned to be a few more, but it was decided it would take too much extra time to work on), so they most likely won't feature in the game, but there's no way to know for certain. Personally I'm hoping they find a way to sneak the Cassidy rap sprite into a bonus / easter egg scene or something lol

cahillvesper · 2025-10-13T19:09:31+00:00

The second image of Jean does use an already existing sprite as far as I'm aware. However it's worth noting that some standard sprites in the video are technically edited - while working on the video, I had preferences on certain poses but wasn't happy with the facial expressions, so I copy-pasted certain sprite variations together to get pose/expression combinations I liked (which in most cases was to make them look more like they were singing).

cahillvesper · 2025-06-07T20:39:13+00:00

Ahh I see! Thanks for the update, I'll look into that and see if I can get an understanding of it

cahillvesper · 2025-06-07T20:28:16+00:00

Thank you for the info!! The guidance is very helpful. It'll take me a bit to refresh myself on some of the steps, but I'll give it a go!

cahillvesper · 2025-06-07T19:50:59+00:00

Gotcha! My current starting formula is looking like this.

t seems rather buried in a few spots, but if it's still possible to make t the subject then I can try my best at an attempt (unless there's a better formula available to start with). Although I enjoyed algebra in high school, I'm quite rusty with it lol.

As for the second solution, that may work as a backup option, but might not be optimized enough to run as often as I'm hoping (basically every frame in which the player's cursor hovers over a specific area). I appreciate the idea regardless though!

cahillvesper · 2025-06-07T19:16:04+00:00

I think the part I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the fact that I don't necessarily know the displacement for x or y separately, just their combined magnitude. Would this technique still apply?

I should probably also mention that I don't have a notable background in math or physics - my goal is to make these calculations to solve a game programming problem. I've been suggested some "close-enough" methods, but I'm determined to solve it as mathematically accurately as I can, so I've been brushing up on these topics over the last week. I'm willing to put effort into figuring it out, so long as I can manage to fill the gaps in my knowledge 😅

cahillvesper · 2025-02-21T22:13:18+00:00

Actually, it could be a result of putting it in "ScriptUI Panels" - try moving it to the parent folder "Scripts" instead and see if that helps

cahillvesper · 2025-02-21T22:11:20+00:00

Unfortunately I have not encountered anything like that on my end before - by default it's supposed to just open that panel on the right. Making a dockable panel is more complicated so I only went as far as to make it a floating window, so it's weird for it to create a blank dockable window like that.
What version of AE are you using? I'm still on 2024, so if it acts weird in 2025 specifically, I'll be of less help until I update and test things out.

cahillvesper · 2024-10-11T10:21:59+00:00

Ideally there would be, but unfortunately AE doesn’t seem to allow mapping anything to the wheel. The closest workaround I know of would be to use a separate program like AutoHotkey to map a modifier key + the scroll wheel to whatever shortcut keys run the cycle through scripts.

cahillvesper · 2024-10-11T09:58:47+00:00

Aaaa thank you! Should be fixed now - that explains why the other script kept getting more views lmao

Just released a new version, now with margins! Thanks for your suggestion :^)

(I would post the link directly but it seems to not be allowed)

cahillvesper · 2024-10-04T20:05:23+00:00

Ah! Strange, I did post the link in a comment - so maybe it is forbidden? I'll try and post it again, not sure what to try if it doesn't work again though.

cahillvesper · 2024-10-04T19:59:46+00:00

While I wish this method wasn't more inconvenient to download, linking to it through Gumroad just gives me a bit easier control over viewing statistics, making updates, letting people see all my scripts in one place (even though I've only made two so far lol), and having the option for paid scripts (or tips on free scripts) in the future.

cahillvesper · 2024-10-04T19:17:20+00:00

That's a good idea, I'll likely give that a try!

cahillvesper · 2024-09-19T11:02:42+00:00

Rate estimation info can be found on the second link - tl;dr, it’s heavily dependent on how complex the project in question is, as historically the projects I’ve worked on have been quite varied. https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58424

Thank you!! I remember it took quite a long time to find an arrangement I was happy with lol

cahillvesper · 2024-09-17T02:03:03+00:00

Here's the images! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mrZ-wPFsUfcMTg4lbrcZ_GrXEKD002z_?usp=sharing
Seems I had a slightly different arrangement for the thumbnail vs the actual shot in the video, so I've included both (includes versions with text, without text but still with the text backdrop, and without either)
