Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

i found the saga frontier 2 piano arrange sheet music its over for me..

the more i play AIR the more it kinda feels like 500 days of summer for japanese dudes in 2000. this is an endrosement from me though

I don't talk about this hobby much online but I'm huge into baking/desserts when I have the time and this ice cream cookbook is life changing stuff if you like American style ice cream! My tip is use tapioca starch (the book actually recommends it but uses corn starch bc of ease of availability)

you can buy moro-q! he is one of my favs from danchi days..i think he will be a contender for fan favorite actually... invest in Moro Q Now. also we finished chapter 4 and 5 and are now gonna polish/add optional stuff for a few months till release!

The Saga Critics are back! we spark tecniques so you don't have to! Martial Artist Boston Lobster monent! (Link in the post below)

whoa someone wrote about this.. i was listening to the OST and I also thought it was really bizarre how every song is the same melody... like 1. thats not what motifs are for 2. you shouldnt use the same motif everywhere, good melodies contain stylistic info which restricts ideal song contexts

Status update. - Localizing Danchi Days' ending - Prototyping stuff with Marina - I found this.

after seeing the talking fairy clip i have been contemplating this 15 second clip of a recent Role-Playing Action-Adventure Game.. lol. I kinda think it's all intentional. a type of arpg meant to be played just as automatically as TV or movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfrl...

BANG!! POW! Thecatamites is joining me on my interview series! Got any questions for this legendary developer? Ask them in the replies below. #SpaceFuneral #AnthologyOfTheKiller #Interview #Thecatamites

The demo of Hyper Bun Buster: Rocket Hammer Action is out now in Steam Next Fest! It's top-down arcade bump action game where you play as a bunny girl who uses her huge hammer to hit enemies into other enemies! store.steampowered.com/app/3605570/...

hey - check out my post!! it's about the perils of trying to make sense of your place as an artist in an era where criticism and continuity has collapsed, what constitutes the underground/countercultural resistance to fascist tech lord platforms these days, and a post-mortem on my recent album

It's the rainy season in Japan right now!!🌧️ And, in the world of Danchi Days, Hoshino and Moro-Q are "rainwaiting" (sheltering from the rain until it ends) alongside a neighbor... who is it? You'll be able to find out in October when Danchi Days releases! store.steampowered.com/app/3107530/...

itoi is an odd figure because he made his name being part of the consumerist engine of Japan in the 70s/80s with ads for malls etc. And I think consumerism is partly why people retreat into games, bc so much of outside life is Just Ads. Sorta feels like the Mother series is partly repentance

Wrote a Anti-"Animation Action" / Pro-Environmental Action Manifesto for manifesto jam! Against action games leaning too much into animation. Let's start some Discourse! han-tani.itch.io/anti-animact...

From the thread on reactiveness. I think difficulty modes are better if the game is more trying to convey an action experience, since that experience will be more consistent across players. Whereas with too much rpg mechanics, some players will have an entirely different experience

ok last ocarina post, but ive been learning this 1991 takashi yoshimatsu song on piano and it's been reminding me a bit of some of the quieter songs in ocarina www.youtube.com/watch?v=89qS...

So did they make the ocarina of time remake into bumpslash

Can't wait to experience this epic moment again in the Ocarina of Time remake.

(Shares are appreciated <3) My first game, Danchi Days has a release date!! October!! This our new trailer~ I feel really lucky to be working alongside friends, @powdersandy.bsky.social & @hantani.bsky.social for the past 2 years.

I'm curious why positioning-heavy action games (some aspects of Mina/AngEra/Castlevania/shmups/classic arcade) tend to be framed more as "janky/unfair", while memorization/animation-reaction types (mega man zero, souls, hollow knight) tend to be perceived as "tough but fair"

also! while we have a fairly thorough media list from our past outreach for Danchi Days, if you stream or write reviews and want to check out the game later this year, sign up here so we can e-mail review codes directly

🌻平成レトロADV『Danchi Days』🌻 【２０２６年１０月Steamにてリリース決定！】 認知症のおばあちゃんのため、少女が夏祭り復活をめざします！団地のご近所さんを招待するにつれ、コミカルときどきシリアスな物語が展開。夏祭り開催を阻む存在も…？団地を巻き込む大冒険の結末を見届けましょう！

My next game Danchi Days is releasing in October on Steam!! It's a slice of life adventure in the lineage of anti-RPGs (imagine MOON/Hamtaro/Chulip/Uki-Uki Carnival) but with more focus on story/exploration rather than puzzles. Look forward to it!

I put together a Danchi Days zine risograph printed in 3 colours, just in time for TCAF in Toronto!! ヽ(；▽；)ノ 24 pages sketches, pixel art, sprites, portraits & writing about how it’s like working on the game. I’ll be on the 2nd floor in the basketball court table 30B ~

This made me think of rain world lol

Automaton Heart is bundling with this super cool game called Abyss Veil u should check it out

Thank you for watching yesterday!!

Happy pride month. Keep survivin' out there, so that we may one day, all of us, live.

this is in a few days!! We'll be sharing some important news for danchi days!

Today, kick off SGF with some old games, in the 2nd edition of the Unearthed Treasure Room, a showcase of recent overlooked games we want you to play!! Starting shortly here: youtu.be/mxIrzO7R0EU?...

20 bucks for wild 3d bumpslashing time! what a deal! with an extra buck off if you own anodyne 1 or 2!

Happening TOMORROW!! It'll be shown live on our respective YouTube channels.

I think Mina is a bit easy after doing farm first, but not sure the best way to make the game harder. Selling my upgrades/menu options? Not sure I think this is why we had @angelineera.bsky.social do difficulty modes + leveling via 1st-time stage clears, so there's more clarity in the game

If a player's used to scrounging around ARPG systems, Mina's straightforward, but if not then the systems probably feel complex/confusing. Also bc of how jumpy enemies are, the soulslike playstyle 'react to animations' doesn't work as well. Mina being slow probably accentuates this fact

I don't talk about this quite often, but let me shout out we're accepting donation support for our curations. as you see, we've been dedicating a lot to illuminate and archive so many meaningful works by solo devs and small teams all over the world. a tiny tip would be welcomed! warpdoor.com/about/

fan of the hammer in mina the hollower so far. a bit quirky... but once those quirks are understood i like that it brings out the positioning focus in the combat

AUTOMATON HEART IS HERE You can play it on Steam. Journey through a set of eclectic locales while managing your organs and switching between three characters.

Been playing Rain World (finally), climbing up The Leg (pain). I get why it's hard... HUGE runbacks with lots of trial & error that compound b/c of the tricky movement+OHKOs. Idk if there's much to critique except the Buddhist overtones feeling kinda exotic? Most critique is of other critique lol

1. Throw home parties 2. Get into something niche and make it part (but not all) of your personality
