January/February Dev Log: Personality Transfer Development*

On the last day of the year, we follow the tradition to offer tributes to gods in the morning and ancestors in the evening.

Elders place ancestral tablets on the dinner table.

The tributes consist of “three types of meat”, “four kinds of fruit”, and three sticks of incense for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The mix of kitchen smoke and incense blurs the line between the living and the dead.

Surrounded by New Year greetings and the sparkle of fireworks, we dine with relatives as the elders raise their glasses in celebration.

This marks the start of the New Year's Eve feast.

The “three types of meat” include white-cooked pork belly, deep fried river perch, and golden-roasted chicken.

The "four fruits" are a bit of a clever workaround.

Instead of actual fruits, we have meatballs shaped like fruits, tomato-based vegetable tofu soup, lotus seed, and an apple salad.

Of course, there are many other dishes, but navigating the vast table to reach them poses its own "challenge."

The real challenge, however, lies in maintaining a forced smile and fielding an onslaught of overly concerned questions about life and future plans.

From school, work, money, exams, to marriage, kids, and the future—facing a barrage of questions on every worry.

Thus, the Scripter is not in the mood to enjoy the feast.

During those awkward conversations, I noticed a child leaving the table early to collect digital red envelopes on their phone, and I couldn't help feeling envious.

Back when I was younger, answering questions would at least earn me some red envelopes as a "reward".

Even if I couldn't avoid parents saying "I'll keep this for you," it was still better than now, where I get no "reward" but still have to give "compensation".

Is this what the shape of family love looks like?

One wonders if the ancestors are watching this spectacle from above.

Alright, alright, enough digression!

Hello everyone, this is Scripter.

After the 15th day of the first lunar month, I've finally returned to the city where I work and started writing Chapter 3 of the colorless storyline.

And the production of Chapter 3's blue line can also begin smoothly, which is certainly cause for celebration.

You must be familiar with the work "Diary of Summer Travel in Golden Spring" by now! (This Demo is currently only available in Chinese).

It's a furry-themed BL pure love comedy GalGame, spearheaded by Luken as the main organizer, screenwriter, artist, director, and even the lead actor.

Set within a modern urban framework, it incorporates elements of martial arts and other fantastical fantasies.

Sitting in front of the screen, you are summoned to this parallel world —a small town named Jinquan ( It means Golden Spring in English).

The name "Jinquan" originates from an ancient well that produces sweet water. Legend has it that this was the freshwater source that the locals relied on when the town was first established.

The climate here is mild, with distinct seasons, a long history, and is home to hidden martial arts sects, rich in martial arts culture.

Its specialties include cherries, crisp heart candies, and frequent abnormal phenomena.

Although its development has almost stalled in the past decade, it remains one of the most attractive ancient towns for people of the martial world.

In your interactions with the locals, you gradually uncover the reason you were summoned and find yourself drawn to the people you meet.

He could be a martial arts tutor, a naive young master, a street thug, a mysterious convenience store clerk, a weirdo in a cozy apartment, or even an officer in the LingGuanShu (sort of police affairs bureau)

Each choice leads to different outcomes, but when faced with the final decision, can you make a resolute choice?

In the upcoming hot summer, may a romantic adventure in this parallel world  journey bring you cool memories.

"Diary of Summer Travel in Golden Spring" is expected to be completed within a year and a half. Since it's independently produced by LuKen, it won't affect the progress of DxB.

In other words, the progress on DxB is just slow.

Undoubtedly slow (...).

（You're something else）

I'm ending this report a bit hastily, please forgive me, as I'm also rushing to write the colorless storyline.

年至岁除，辰时（清晨）敬神，戌时（黄昏）祭祖。

遵循礼制，家中长辈将祖宗的灵牌请上了桌。

三牲四果装满七盘，青黄线香各点三支，就那样安置在年夜饭的小案上。

油烟与香火的媾合处人影氤氲，似是要将酆都与人间的边界抹去。

于一片拜年道贺与鞭炮烟花的震响中，陪同未曾谋面的叔伯婶嫂落座，长辈举杯。

至此年夜三十儿的晚飨才算开宴。

切成菱形，煮至全白的猪五花；裹上面衣，炸至金黄的河鲈鱼；烤制金黄，以绳艺捆绑的走地鸡——是为“三牲”。

“四果”就比较取巧了：有被做成果实状的炸肉丸、番茄的果实制作的蔬菜豆腐汤、莲花的果实制作的莲子羹、还有苹果沙拉（不知道为什么会有这个）。

除此之外还有其他各种各样的食物，但由于桌子太大所以去夹有点麻烦……不，该说是。

对做不到长袖善舞的脚本儿来说，光是维持着会让面部肌肉坏死程度的笑容就已是极限。

更别提还要应付那些被注入远超致死量的关爱，角度又刁钻的提问。

从学业、成绩、工作、业绩、财务、考公、婚姻、后代，到未来——直至集齐人间界的108烦恼。

所以脚本儿并没有享用美食的心情。

言辞闪烁之际，瞥见远处不早早下桌，不知谁家正用手机收着红包的孩童，艳羡之情自然而生。

自己还是那个年纪时，回答了问题至少还是能领到些许红包当作是“酬劳”。

即便最终躲不过家长一句“替你收着”的安排，却也好过现在领不到“酬劳”的同时还要支付“报酬”的窘迫。

家庭之爱的轮廓，因该就是这种形状吧？

也不知道老人家若有在天之灵是否有意赏脸欣赏几下这幕闹剧。

好了好了，闲话休题！

大家好，这里是脚本儿。

正月十五过后，终是能返回工作的城市，并且开始第三章无色线写作了。

而第三章蓝线的制作也能平稳的开始，可喜可贺，可喜可贺——

想必大家已知晓“金泉风土记”这部作品了吧！

由鲁师傅担任主催、主笔、主美、主导，甚至主演的Furry向BL系纯情恋爱喜剧GalGame。

基于现代都市的框架，添加了武侠等架空奇幻元素的世界。

坐在屏幕前的你，受到某种召唤来到这异世一隅——名为金泉的小城中。

“金泉”之名，源自一口生产甜水的古井。传说中，这是城镇建立之初时，当地人赖以生存的淡水源头。

这里气候温和，四季分明，历史悠久，坐拥隐世武派名门，武韵浓郁。

特产是樱桃与酥心糖，以及频发的异常现象。

近十几年来发展几乎停滞，却仍旧是最吸引江湖人士的古城之一。

在与本地居民的交流中，你逐渐发觉到自己被召唤的原因，也慢慢被眼前之人所吸引。

他可能是武术补习班的老师，不谙世事的大少爷，街头混混小霸王，奇妙便利店的店员，温馨公寓的怪人，甚至是灵官署中的捕快——

每一个选项都会带来不同的后果，而在面对最终选择时，你是否能痛下决心？

在即将到来的炎炎夏日，愿一场罗曼蒂克异的异世界之旅能带给你凉爽的回忆。

“金泉风土记”预计将在一年半以内完成，因为是鲁师傅独立制作，所以并不会影响到狗血的进度。

换言之，DxB的就是单纯的慢。

毋庸置疑的慢（……）。

报告结束的有点仓促，还请谅解，脚本儿这也是赶着去写无色线。
