Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Absolutely love these photos of early game developers just chilling in their homes/offices.

Early interview with Kowloon's Gate director and writer Nakaji Kimura, published in the August 1995 issue of Hyper PlayStation. CG designers Hijiri Taketomi and Kouki Inoue also share their insights.

Poxa, mas juraram pra mim que esta aí era independente quase fechando as portas toda vez que lançava um filme revolucionário na cinematografia dos EUA. (E teve gente pra legitimar a existência de perfil de fã de empresa)

Chieko Aoki wrote Phantasy Star II, a deeply tragic and cautionary sci-fi story in which the Earthlings who destroyed their own planet tried to settle-colonize another through an environmental supercomputer. I'll always wonder what more Aoki would have written, had she remained in the industry.

Cheguei bem atrasado nessa imagem. Pelo que eu pesquisei, é uma frase acrescentada por uma tradução não oficial de 2020. Tradução não precisa ser fiel e, nesse caso, diz em voz alta o que sempre esteve preso na garganta da personagem. Vai lá, deusa, nunca precisamos tanto de você.

Here's a nice little curiosity, a Super 8 scan of George A. Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968). Thanks a lot to Ripper's Archive @ Twitter for the source, I included the uncompressed scan and a smaller re-encode I did in a more friendly size as the original was 60+gb 😅 gofile.io/d/xSmZ7i

Eu vou começar a escrever sega, capcom e outros nomes abreviados em caixa baixa porque, convenhamos, empresa de video game não vale nem uma letra maiúscula hoje em dia.

Rieko Kodama's first producer role at Sega was on the System Sacom-developed underwater survival horror Deep Fear. While admitting to struggle with horror in general, she also realized that sound was the most important factor—and the one that really scared her—to consider in the project. (1/3)

At the end of a brief interview for the Nov. 17, 1995 issue of The PlayStation magazine, Kenji Eno revealed that D no Shokutaku's protagonist Laura Harris was modeled after Sharon Stone's character Lori Quaid from the movie Total Recall (1990). "If you see that movie's pamphlet, you'll understand."

Sexta-feira é dia de repostar minhas coisinhas.

Before Detective Instinct, many members of our team collaborated on making games for GBJam, a Game Boy themed game jam. Great times. Learned a lot, and had the opportunity to compose a lot of music for GB limitations, one of my favorite things to do 😌 You can play 'em here: gallowaygames.itch.io

Acho que eu sempre vou me sentir como os fantasmas de Kiyoshi Kurosawa na internet, tentando estabelecer um contato inalcançável a fim de reivindicar minha própria não-existência.

Screenshots from the original PlayStation version of Enemy Zero, published in The PlayStation magazine three weeks after Kenji Eno unveiled the shocking logo morph trailer at the March 1996 PS EXPO. By that point, Eno had not yet confirmed that this version of the game had actually been cancelled.

Nextech also developed the Sega Saturn version of the original Resident Evil and other interesting titles such as Linkle Liver Story and the forgotten weapons-based fighting game D-Xhird.

Direto pro caldeirão. Uma catarse que só Telethugs proporciona.

Recentemente peguei um lotinho de compactos porque tinha um disco das deusas Shonen Knife que eu estava procurando, e de quebra ainda veio "Linda Linda" dos Blue Hearts. Sim, a música que virou tema do filme de Nobuhiro Yamashita!

New post! Today I'm exploring Web Mystery, an obscure Dreamcast FMV adventure game all about crime and a fake 1999 internet, and how it all plays living on the net today. Enjoy!

Fun fact: um dia desses eu descobri que alguém editou todas as cenas da sequência em um filme e dá pra logar esse filme no Letterboxd

"Pedi para ela não posar, mas olhar diretamente para a câmera. Bati a foto em um fundo preto com uma luz atrás dela, colocando-a em primeiro plano. Era a foto favorita de Andy Warhol. Ele tinha uma cópia em seu estúdio." Guy Webster sobre a foto de capa do álbum The Marble Index da artista Nico.

No documentário Broken Circuits (2017), o cineasta Kiyoshi Kurosawa relembra que seu filme Kairo (2001) nasceu de conversas com o escritor Chiaki Konaka, responsável pelo roteiro de Serial Experiments Lain (1998). Não é por acaso que podemos encontrar paralelos entre as duas obras.

Nesse rolê de tradução e localização de jogos, como em muitos outros, quem não quer lidar com agência para conseguir trabalho acaba pagando o preço pela independência e (no meu caso) teimosia. Ano passado tive o privilégio de traduzir um jogo que eu gosto demais, e até aqui foi o que deu pra fazer.

URGENTE e peço que vcs COMPARTILHEM GERAL. A Câmara de Deputados subiu uma enquete pra um PL que institui no Brasil o conceito de antissemitismo da IHRA. Leia-se: pró-Palestina = antissemita.

My new short horror game is almost ready. Evaluation will test your mind, body, and spirit. You'll even get the chance for one or all of the following: - Commune with the dead - See Angels in your peripheral vision - Hear the Voice(s) of God #gamedev #horrorgames

Making a new list over at Backloggd after being inspired by the inept, helpless gods featured in Makai Toushi SaGa and Baroque, which I now view as a sort of remake of the former. #finalfantasy #legacyofkain #silenthill

‪The instruction manual for Makai Toushi SaGa (Final Fantasy Legend) constantly references Phantasy Star by featuring numerous screenshots where the party members are named after the 4 heroes of Sega's RPG. Apparently someone at Square was a fan. Tyrone (Odin) Lutz (Noah) Alisa (Alis) Myau

The Final Fantasy Legend / Makai Toushi SaGa Written by Akitoshi Kawazu Translator unknown SQUARE 1989

Final Fantasy Legend is unbelievable. It starts off as usual medieval fare but takes an absurdist turn and never looks back. You'll go from witnessing an inter-species marriage to helping a bosozoku gang take down the mad bird that turned their futurist world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland (1/2)
