‼️ RHYTHM GAME WEEKLY SUMMARY 🧵 (Aug 23rd - Aug 29th) ‼️ A release date, a release, a major update, and an EOS... the life cycle of a game. Stage Tour, Ohgihime, Arcaea, and MUSIC DiVER are our headliners this week. Let's take a look at what happened this week in rhythm games! 🧵

Got my Bartz v Anthropic email, and I'm at least glad DSP didn't try to claim the books I took back. I've heard a few horror stories about other publishers being their worst possible selves. (I uploaded my rights reversions upfront, though. I'd HOPE that would've prevented issues, but who knows.)

Bob is under the weather & I’ve been running on fucked sleep schedules with extremely uneven sleep for weeks so: - Bob is taking today off. - I’m starting the stream later than usual. - There’s a bit of stream setup that needs to be done too so I will be announcing it shortly before going live. 👍

I take zero fucking pleasure in reminding people about this every time, but Lollipop Chainsaw is currently in the hands of some absolute losers and you should not give them your money. You should, however, check out the original 360/PS3 release because it’s a lot of fun! (Source in alt text)

As with the original, the new title aims to recreate a world rich in dark
humor. The development process will prioritize staying true to the distinctive tone and spirit of the original work, without imposing excessive creative restrictions in the name of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).

"Fun" fact: the founder of Dragami Games was Yoshimi Yasuda, who was the former president of Tecmo and was actually the one who withheld Tomonobu Itagaki's pay for Dead or Alive 4, which eventually led to him quitting Team Ninja after Ninja Gaiden 2's completion.
