From ROMEO Video Director Takuma Araki: "Suda-san asked me to film a flower blooming in time-lapse. First time trying it, but after a week of shooting, I finally got this📷"

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

We just updated The Mermaid Mask demo on Steam! One of the things we've added is a glimpse at the Art Gallery feature, which you can access from the title screen. It features concept art, 3D models and and behind-the-scenes notes from the artists :) Most of it is currently locked, of course...

One of Vanillaware's co-founders (Takehiro Shiga) drew this cool illustration depicting the structure of Chunsoft's most famous sound novels. This was posted around the time 13 Sentinels was entering production, so the devs may have been studying these sound novels while conceptualizing the game.

Una cosa fascinante de YouTube es que te coloca publicidad cuando clicas en TUS PROPIOS VÍDEOS, incluso si aún no los has subido de forma pública y estás revisando el footage antes de publicar.

Slight update to Scarlet Hollow Episode 5's release schedule! We want to give the finale a little more time in the oven, so we're splitting the release in two. The first half will still be releasing this Friday, February 13th. The finale will release next Friday, February 20th. See you soon!

No me toca escribir la review de Romeo is a Dead Man, pero he jugado unas horas y es un precioso recordatorio de que lo mucho que pueden molar los videojuegos:

📣 Attention. This is an important service announcement. 📣 Phonopolis will open for a public demonstration on February 11. Prepare your Steam permits and stand by for additional directives.

"Page budgets" is a concept I dig into quite a bit when I teach, and it's exactly that. It goes for all artists - for example, the first YA cover here is about 4-5 times as much work for Colourist Matt Wilson as he has to do palettes foe each sliver. The second cover was the month after.

También tengo análisis de Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties en vídeo por aquí www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdol...

Yakuza Kiwami 3 patina en muchas decisiones, desde su elección de cásting hasta los cambios a una de las tramas más recordadas de la saga. Cumple por la mínima porque el esqueleto de la saga funciona incluso cuando RGG va en piloto automático, pero Yakuza 3 se merecía mucho más

A shortie this issue, because I am a very tired boy

I wrote a series about Ayano Koshiro, a graphic designer, illustrator and chara-designer who worked on series such as Ys, Streets of Rage, Actraiser and Thor. The first 2 parts (out of 8) are now available and cover her time at Falcom. vgdensetsu.net/ayanokoshiro/ VF : vgdensetsu.net/ayanokoshiro...

Menace rocks. "One more run" but runs are Mount & Blade-like campaigns of turn-based strategy in a dark sci-fi setting that wears its influences proudly. My early access impressions for @gamewatcher.com: www.gamewatcher.com/news/menace-...

I think @marineteta.bsky.social may have pulled off the most iconic Spanish bar pixelart texture set.

from Hamster's stream, some photos of the Cool Boarders team at UEP Systems circa '96, which was 6 devs at most (not counting outsourced helpers)—all but one of em came fresh out of school with zero practical experience, but somehow managed to make Cool Boarders from scratch in ~6 months

Estaré en la próxima @revistamanual.bsky.social hablando de cómo los remakes pueden tener relaciones más interesantes con los juegos originales (ni confirmo ni desmiento que sea una excusa para rajar de los remakes "1:1").

This reminds me a little of Mel Brooks dealing with studio notes.
