Hi guys. Happy New Year. Here are some updates.

This update is about game save files...
Why do you always like to fiddle with these files?

Uh,anyway. Let's get straight to the point.

First find that file and open it in text format (old routine)..

And then... It's all recognizable letters and numbers. (POG)

Well, actually, they're just "recognizable" ... Obviously, this file has been encrypted.

And then we need to......
No, certainly not "cracking" this encryption.

As the saying goes: 
"With enough power, you can make a honeygast fly."

We're going to use a very stupid approach,

We create more archive files and then find out the differences between them through the control variable method.

Then guess what they do based on these differences.

Let's try to see what saves look like on different difficulty levels.

I want to show these strings directly... But they're too long. So... I'll just say it verbally.

Based on testing,  Easy and Normal all have a stable string length of 1564.
But  HardCore is different, it has a length of 1568. (This may be because more data needs to be stored for the "stomach capacity".)

Then we'll see if there will be any difference between the same configuration of the archive.

Let's go straight to the conclusion... Yes.

Both "Easy" saves begin to differ at 1264 characters.
Based on testing, these different characters seem to change each time a save is created.
So... With this method it may not be possible to know what they represent. Huh...
But this information can help us to perform other tests, and we can exclude these characters that will change when comparing different times.

Continue to look at those saves with different levels of difficulty. We can see that after excluding these characters that change, the remaining characters are basically the same...

BUT. Except for the 20th character.

If the difficulty is "Easy", it is "w",
If it's "Normal", it's "x",
If it's "HardCore", it's "y".

And I tried... It is possible to change the difficulty of this save store by changing this character (the save will not be corrupted)
Oh... This is very dangerous...

So... Maybe this file needs more encryption... Uh, I don't know.

I was going to test more but a voice in my head told me:

"NOOOOO, YOU ARE CHEATING! STOP ITTTTT."

Then...it's The End.

Hopefully this post hasn't ruined something.

HI GUYS!

What? No, I'm NOT here to update the post.

The reason I'm here is that I find it as if we're missing out on the first anniversary of G&J.

The initial release was released on March 20th... But it's already May!

And then... Do we have any celebrations on March 20th..?

Maybe next time we should plan some activities, 
like making some cupcakes or something.
Or fruit... because it's rich in vitamins.

Anyway...!
Hope we can grab the chance next time.

Yay  Cupcakes!

By the way,post a new reply can bump the post to the top so that I can trick more people into reading it.
*villain's laugh*

Edit:
I'm posting this in 'Some useless finds' not because it's useless...
I just felt like it didn't need a whole new thread!
Don’t get me wrong. XP

Okay, so with 2.1 on the horizon, I see some potential things to look at; 

Cammy seems to get dragged away in the tutorial/story mode

Since the ghosts are corporealized from light, it makes sense the rocket launcher would straight up injure them. They don't seem to have a way to interact with most items, though, or Japes at least has a way to prevent them from interacting with his stomach's contents. He would have to or Zahra and Xenosheet would damage his stuff.

The two minigames so far are arcade games with the living versions of the ghosts you consume. But they seem to have ways that they could die themselves; "friend" could get blown up or run out of energy, and the Kobolds could starve to death. I wouldn't be surprised if these deaths correlated with how they were killed when entering the mansion, and the arcade games were twisted mockeries of their demise. If the Kobolds are from Cammy's world, going by the music, it would mean the Seers could potentially project their presence into two worlds :(

Japes' upgrades are tied to his soul, and he can sever them. The curses, however, have the trademark singular eye, so they are likely created by the Seers themselves, and their connection seems to be metaphysically hooked into Japes' soul, so removing them seems to require spiritual surgery that the Fire Dweller definitely isn't doing by himself at this time. They don't seem to have come close to reaching their full potential either; His soul has a red aura, but Dinostuffed says that his soul has an iridescent aura, so he likely has a connection to the "Sword" and "Star Dweller" somehow.

Though I wonder if we can get a bad ending with Japes and Cammy or if they somehow get turned into ghosts while still living. Who knows, maybe we'll get the power of friendship to revive them so we can reclaim some modicum of "patheticness".

If Japes having teeth is a new thing, the new enraged sprite is gonna look scary as hell :0
