Here's a better comparison of the hair models in-game with the proper materials.

The official #Vinesauce #GameJam is back! ShroomJam 2025 once again lets YOU make the slop! It starts in 2 months, but you can check out the page now! itch.io/jam/shroomja... #itchio #gamedev #indiedev

Thanks for the feedback! I think what I'll do is make this the default look, and add a toggle for the old hairstyle for those who prefer it.

I found a hairstyle that's more accurate to real life Melpert. I like both of these, still a little partial to the exaggerated anime hair look. What do you think?

We now have talk sprites for the main party members!

I could use some help collecting extra Vargskelethor Joel voice lines. Please share your favorite quotable moments below and I'll try to use them!

The New Flesh just got a free expansion with an optional supporter pack. It features 8 more songs and areas, including a new (old) one for the game. Definitely worth a look if you liked the game the first time around. store.steampowered.com/app/3692660/...

Thank you for 300+ followers! Happy that you're all excited about this silly project, too. I didn't make any progress in the month of June (was busy with other things), but several new art assets have been made in the meantime. Excited to show them off in-game soon!

If you enjoy watching Vinny slowly lose his mind and devolve into insane utterances, this is the perfect video for you 🎉🥳

Chat did I cook

It's been so long listening to this BGM that I'm starting to forget that Persona 5's OST isn't just Red Vox

Made a tool for importing gifs as material animations specifically for these monitor screens

Fleshing out the streaming activity some more

Don't know if I'll ever be able to get this "perfect," but with this much-improved face rig, now I can at least now tell what expression he's supposed to be making

Since someone asked, I wanted to clarify how the battle BGM selection is implemented. Choking on the Spite is one of the ambushed themes, but it randomly picks one from each list depending on how the battle starts. Certain outfits will also have their own unique bgm combos!

I made a strawpage where you can send funny chat messages and I might use them in the mod! They can be inspired by your favorite real messages, or completely hypothetical. As long as they're in good taste and fit what I'm looking for, I'll use them! Thank you for your help. 💚 p5v.straw.page

Took a break for a couple weeks, but we're back in business. Check out how the Joel redesign turned out!

Another Jobel redesign

Hoot Wireless.

My second edit for the highlights channel is out now, go check it out!

PERSONA GET!! ...but what if it was green?

Is this the "vine" "sauce" everyone keeps talking about

New outfit inspired by @loop2d.bsky.social's Vine Rider design! Thanks for letting me use it and for providing me with some high quality refs 👍 You might remember seeing this character in VineWorlds and VineJam: Corruption (from the recent itch.io gamejam!) #Vinesauce #Persona5Royal #P5R

hhheyyy patrick... its me freakbob... ready to get it owhnnn #Vinesauce #P5R

Super Wattrio, ehh Ani? #Vinesauce #P5R

Someone asked what happens if you switch to JP text. Really good question. Dunno what else I expected... Needless to say it isn't supported (but you can see the voicelines work fine with the JP dub at least!)

Chat can now use emotes! 👏

Here's how Joel's new model looks in action! As well as a peek at 5 different alternate costumes so far.

The game over screen now shows the Realign beach instead of the Velvet Room.

Previously, I was using Ryuji's face as a base for Joel... Which made it work better with Ryuji's facial animations, but consequently he looked too young. Now I'm using Shido's face and I think it looks a lot more accurate.

Some Miis!

Made Sponge's body look a little less crusty compared to the previous model

Been working on Showtime moves recently. Here's Slime Champ and Gnorts delivering a deadly move together!

Here's how development time this year compares to last year! More sessions, but more spread out rather than concentrated in month-long bursts. It might not look as impressive, but it's been much healthier and more sustainable. Read on and I'll break down the major milestones of each month.

Yayyy my first video for the Vinesauce highlights channel is out! I may be biased, but this turned out to be one of my favorite playthroughs. I still don’t get tired of watching it. Hope everyone else enjoys it too! youtu.be/vaQAnHbk6RE

Check out this retro-inspired new costume, courtesy of 1nthekingdom19. Thank you so much for letting us use the model! When using this outfit, the battle music will change to chiptune renditions of Red Vox songs.
