Spinnerette: Your tuuurn ♥ The big celebrity debut!!!
Amber: Aw shush!! (hehe)
Spinnerette: Recording... ...Now!
Amber: Hello! I'm Amber, a velvet ant!
Amber: Really more of a 'wingless wasp', (the males have wings) but ants are sorta wasps too... so I guess it doesn't matter?
Amber: We don't live in hives though. MOST wasps are solitary, bet'cha didn't know that!
[A chart shows a simple phylogenetic tree shows the evolutionary relationships between velvet ants, ants, bees, and other wasps. the base of the tree says "It's 'wasps' all the way down"]
Amber: We're "velvet" because we're sooo fluffy and cute and pretty~
Amber: But like a beautiful rose... look out! We have thorns! Well... stingers. (this time just for the females)
Amber: The stinger's mostly for laying eggs.
Spinnerette: You're some kind of parasite, right?
Amber: PARASITOID. We lay our eggs underground, on top of other bugs' larva. Then our baby eats the other baby.
Spinnerette: [Thinking] My face was too scary but this is alright??

A developer who led on a fan-created PC 'decomp' port of Banjo-Kazooie says people using AI to rush out other ports (including a new Banjo-Tooie one) are in a "race to the bottom" which is "disrespectful" to decomp tool creators. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/banjo-k...

as promised, here's the #screenshotsaturday peek at my next full #GameBoy game made in #GBStudio! no title as-yet, but it's been a lot of fun to design for (and a real bear to work on!)~ dice combat? tower.. crawling..?? mysterious entities from realms beyond?!? all that will be here and more~ 🎲✨

an in-game image of an ominous tower in the distance. Super Game Boy palette of faded purples and greys. has text that reads:
"Like other fools, I've come here to climb the Tower of Wishes..."

an in-game image of a maze-like top-down interior of the previous tower. it shows the player character as they prepare to make their run of the first floor. Super Game Boy palette of earthy reds and browns. has text that reads:
"Good luck on your first expedition!"

an in-game image of a tabletop dice-based combat scene between a wasp assassin and an simian-like eyeball monster. the dice have been rolled once and symbols are showing lightning bolts, claws, and shields. Super Game Boy palette of drab beige and ice blue.

an in-game image of a tavern counter and back wall. the wall is stocked with nondescript bottles and jars. Super Game Boy palette of muddy greens and yellows. has text that reads:
"Take it easy now!"

i had an idea for a game called Valkyrie. it's like castlevania crossed with zelda 2. attacking is very slow and intentional, and locks you into the animation. the main character is very slow and methodical, owing to her heavy armour. like zelda, you can move your shield up and down to block attacks

The attitude of simply playing everything available to you, regardless of how it was produced or whether it’s even accurate to the real experience, is driving us up the fucking wall. Mindless, uncritical consumption is how we get Palmer Luckey releasing Game Boys built with murder drone parts.

I think the retro community deserves to drown in AI garbage when major voices only share the concern of "Well they might not be maintained, but it's all up to the skill of the individual developer of the decomp" www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYZP...

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

uugghhh... this project is already starting to hit the point where GB Studio is having micro-delays in everything I do now. entering text, adding events to a script, clicking between scenes.. it all has compounded delays due despite the ROM still being barely over 500kB... 😭🫠
