I'm sorry but the "Miyamoto created this inspired in his real life experiences of this and that" is one of the most dismissive gamedev discourses, and is directly connected with how people love to look to art detached from the very reality they claim for you to look for. (ノ`Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

🌠 Pixel Artist and Gamedev - (She/her). I may talk a lot (too much😚) about old games and art. 🤖 I'm working on a cute game on #Godot that soon will be seen here, so i'll be happy if you stick around! :)
Criminally underrated game!! It has one of the cutests sprite works in the whole generation (up there with Megami Paradise 2) I just love so much these big characters spriteworks (,; ⩌ ;,). And the urban rpg vibes are always imaculate, we're in constant need for more of these.
Catching up with my good friend and what should be yours: Fire Woman Matoigumi. Still one of my favorite dating sims of its vintage and criminally under-discussed. Just an inventive open-ended school sim with cute art, neat RPG combat, and bite-sized, incidental storytelling. Forever a charmer. 😌
any time I see the phrase Black Label, I immediately assume it'll be an awesome high-difficulty shmup with extra game modes included and then I find out it's just some IPA beer and become sorely disappointed this must be rectified: breweries ought to also make bullet hell
Quote with the last 4 games you played! :) Some of them I'm still playing from time to time (mostly BokuNatsu, and still didn't beated Branmarker cause life got in the way back then ;-;) Also was very recently decimated by rainbow islands for like the fourth time in a row, i love it. ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

My life goal as a gamedev is to make both sides of the fight realize that "wholesome" (horrible name, I gotta be honest) games do obviously include eroge and dating sims alike. This silly little realization could end the entire social media discourse we had in the last day as a whole. (˶˃⤙˂˶)
Just found out that today is the 30th year anniversary of this absolute masterpiece. ♡⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ If you can, please play it with an open heart and I swear there will be so much to feel. Maybe you'll feel that sometimes bigger really doesn't mean better, or maybe not, who knows. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
Getting back to the normal schedule here (I mean, at this point maybe my yapping around became actually the normal thing ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ なんちゃって! ) But yeah. Been struggling so much these days with some life stuff that decided to go back to my utmost comfy videogame. And it welcomed my whole heart.
driven by forces I myself do not fully comprehend, I was compelled to make this my body would not let me sleep otherwise
NOOOO WAAY. Just days after Kamaitachi no Yoru. What an unbelievably amazing year for english speakers this turned out to be. ( ˶°ㅁ°) !! Such a great one!!! I've been annoyingly filling this game everywhere any group asks for a game suggestion for them to localize, mb, mb (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝).

To a degree, I do think there's too much inertia to stop the bleeding in the short term for many reasons. Historically, what's protected localizers best is when our work is visible, recognized, and tangibly affects a game's success. When company cultures embrace our work, that's when we're safest. 🧵
What can we do? just accept the slop?
no amount of AI slop can change the fact that we got Shizuku AND Kamaitachi no Yoru in the SAME YEAR! ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾ REAL translators already made this one of the most blessed years for fan translation in the last times, even in the middle of so much struggle and uncertainty.

And there we go, first of august again! Hoping for this year's playthrough to be as special as the last year's one (,; ⩌ ;,)

and again and again this big disappointment of getting happy for a great pc98 game getting localized just to find out is another AI crap which is even worse than it not being localized at all. (ꐦ ᗜ _ ᗜ)
I've come to the personal realization in the last few days that we as a society find ourselves in deep need for the return of the Kaomoji to save us from the sterility of the microblog bloat mannerisms we cultivated in these last few pages of the web history. v(,,•᷅﹏•᷅,,)v
#pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ #ドット絵 #クリィミーマミ I've been working in some stuff I cannot show yet and its been so long without posting anything again (╥﹏╥) Took some time to sketch this one up while testing some ideas. Creamy Mami is such a masterpiece of a show ~(˶>⩊<˶)~
I made this lil' track for a chiptune contest on the theme 'Racing'. It got quite silly but I loved being able to go for a cutey melodic flavor XD Kinda comical, but I like the sweetness, like racing on a cub through the evening sky lights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXqA... #PC98 #Chiptune #OPNA

The more you explore the history of anime, manga, Japanese games history, the more you are confronted with the fact that MANY of the forms’ most potent innovations sprang out of and could not have existed without pornography. It’s integral to and inextricable from these histories

game dev playing a minor chord: ew, that made me feel kinda weird and bad. using these is probably bad songwriting.
Posting culture is stagnating because keyboards only let you type tiny tildes ~ instead of big beautiful wave dashes 〜

i think when people make OCs you always gotta have a part of their design that's like "it's like that because i'm a pervert" it's very important
There are so many incredible things about the intro to the PC-98/Win version of "YU-NO" but one of my favorite details is that a piece of the Elf logo in the beginning gets superimposed into the scene on the base of a lamp!
Bought a book that teaches how to be successful at pachinko while dating as a lesbian. Already learning important life lessons like, "kissing girls will improve your luck stat," so, 1800 yen well spent already if you ask me. 😌
Repeat with me please: "there is no such thing as non imperative parts of a art piece". Art isn't imperative, to begin with. Isn't made to please you, isn't made to not "cringe" you, isn't made to be what you wanted it to be. Every city we describe only says something about Venice, after all.
