Chipster Rambles About: Hachi Koi (はち恋)

What I could gather from Hachi Koi or はち恋 is that it was a cancelled game/love simulator for the Nintendo DS as it was announced in 2008.

Additionally, I come to realize that this game has been acknowledged since 2012 on Tumblr by one of the main heroines, Kurumi.

Surprisingly, this was attempted by EA of all companies according to blog with a defunct link as the main plot is that a death god tells the protagonist that he's going to die by his next birthday and the only to stop it is to fall in love with one of the featured heroines.

As for the other company, NEURON AGE or NeuronAge, I don't have any concrete information on what they do towards the gaming market.

For its mechanics, it'll probably functions like a dating sim/love sim although has a "Touch Event". So think of games like FE: Fates or Nintendogs that feature this, hell you could think of Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! But with a DS game that'll potentially garner a niche audience, why did this game get cancelled? I haven't found the reason why, so I'm left in the dark with this one.

So, where does that leave this canceled project? It was later turned into a smartphone game for the iOS and Android that ran from October 1, 2012 to February 28, 2014. This also came with a new mechanic which are love points that occurred from outfits and dates plus using related topics to spark a conversation while also keeping the touch event.

[Source: GameBiz]

The plot also seems to have changed to a potted plant that handed from a fortune teller as this plant can predict and advise Makoto Shirai's luck in romance.

His luck being with one of the eight heroines with some simplified summaries:

Akane Aso, the first childhood friend who's active, energetic, and friendly that's a member of the track and field club.

Hina Konishi, the second childhood friend who's shy, gentle, and soothing with a weak body yet strong will.

Mirai Kirishima, a strict committee chairperson with an old-fashioned personality who's trusted by everyone as the leader.

Kurumi Kasugaoka, a clumsy girl who's kind to everyone and quite popular in class.

Noa Saeki, an admirer of the MC that's innocent and bright while also being the hard worker.

Ayumi Ichinose, a mysterious girl who's quite modest and quiet at best. Awfully looks like another teal-haired girl who's a singer.

Maria W Ryuzaki, the only daughter of the board president that has a naïve side yet not good expressing emotions well.

Sayaka Ayukawa, the sexy upperclassman that garnered the attention of the male students yet seems interested in the MC.

[Source: Tsurezure]

Now what I've noticed while looking into the characters are some of the design changes which are mainly Hina (Hair changed from brown to black with removed side buns), Kirishima (Blue hairband thined out and turned white with neck bow removed), Kurumi (Socks become folded near loafers with flower symbol removed), Maria (Outfit color turned from pink to brown that match's Sayaka's along with shoe color + shoe accessory removed) and Sayaka (Change of bangs and heels turned from pink to purple). Their original designs, initially for the DS, are on Game Watch for full viewing.

Sadly, there is no known archive of each of the heroines' outfits. (┳◡┳)

Lastly, their official website is still up and running after shutting down their maintenance and what I can tell you is that it was completely different if you applied the link on Wayback Machine as it was in those days where it was anticipated to be released by 2009 on the NDS. Although, this requires Flash although some are programmed through Ruffle.

By the end of it all, Hachi Koi was a cancelled DS game that still made its way to be released and played until the end. I like to thank certain bloggers who posted the image with Kurumi, without you, I'll probably never found out about this obscure game. Much love!!!╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is the new kid on the block in this year's lineup. The Pixel 8 Pro was succeeded by the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the 9 Pro is a new addition to the portfolio - it is a compact, full-featured flagship with all of the bells and whistles of its bigger XL sibling

A compact Pixel is not a new concept in itself, of course, but this is the first time Google is bringing the entirety of its A-game to this form factor. The Pixel 9 Pro packs a 48MP, 5x optical periscope telephoto camera - the same as the Pixel 9 Pro XL. There is also UWB onboard the Pixel 9 Pro. Frankly, it's kind of amazing that Google managed to fit so much extra hardware inside what is essentially the same footprint as the non-Pro Pixel 9.

Google Pixel 9 Pro specs at a glance: Body: 152.8x72.0x8.5mm, 199g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min).

How to Organize Store Pages for Better User Experience in Amazon Store Setup in Amazon App Marketing?

Creating an effective Amazon Store Setup is more than just listing products; it's about delivering a seamless user experience that drives sales and enhances customer satisfaction. The way you organize your store pages can significantly impact how users interact with your brand and products. In this blog, we'll explore how to organize store pages for a better user experience in Amazon Store Setup, an essential aspect of successful Amazon App Marketing.

Understanding the Importance of User Experience

User experience (UX) is at the heart of any successful online store. It encompasses everything from the ease of navigation to the clarity of information presented. A well-organized Amazon Store not only makes it easier for customers to find what they're looking for but also encourages them to explore more products, ultimately leading to higher conversion rates.

In Amazon Store Setup, a positive user experience can distinguish your brand from competitors. It can turn casual visitors into loyal customers and significantly impact your overall sales performance. Therefore, investing time and resources in optimizing your store's organization is crucial.

1. Clear and Intuitive Navigation

The first step to organizing your store pages is to ensure that navigation is clear and intuitive. Customers should be able to find what they're looking for with minimal effort. To achieve this, categorize your products logically, using labels that are easily understood by your target audience.

For example, if you sell electronics, you might have categories like "Smartphones," "Laptops," "Accessories," and "Wearables." Each category should be easily accessible from the main menu, and subcategories should further refine the search, such as "Android Phones" under "Smartphones."

Including a search bar is another effective way to enhance navigation. This feature allows users to search for specific products quickly, especially in stores with a large inventory. An efficient search function can significantly improve the user experience, reducing frustration and increasing the likelihood of a purchase.

2. Consistent Layout Across Pages

Consistency is key when it comes to the layout of your Amazon Store pages. Each page should follow a similar structure to create a cohesive shopping experience. This consistency helps users feel comfortable navigating your store, as they know what to expect on each page.

For instance, if your product pages feature a specific layout with images on the left, descriptions on the right, and customer reviews below, this format should be consistent across all product pages. A consistent layout not only enhances the user experience but also reinforces your brand's identity.

Additionally, consistent use of fonts, colors, and imagery throughout your store contributes to a unified brand presence. This visual consistency can help build brand recognition and trust, encouraging repeat visits and purchases.

3. Highlight Key Products and Promotions

Strategically highlighting key products and promotions is an effective way to guide users through your store and direct their attention to items that you want to promote. This can be done through featured product sections, banners, or special promotion pages.

For example, you can create a "Best Sellers" section on your homepage that showcases your most popular products. Alternatively, a banner at the top of the page can announce limited-time offers or new arrivals, enticing customers to explore further.

Promotions such as discounts, bundles, or free shipping offers can also be highlighted prominently. Ensuring these elements are easily visible and accessible can drive higher engagement and sales.

4. Optimize for Mobile Users

With a growing number of customers shopping on mobile devices, optimizing your Amazon Store for mobile users is essential. A mobile-friendly design ensures that your store pages load quickly and are easy to navigate on smaller screens.

When organizing your store pages, consider the mobile user experience by simplifying navigation, using larger fonts, and ensuring that buttons and links are easily tappable. Avoid clutter by minimizing the number of elements on each page, focusing on the most important information.

Amazon's platform automatically adjusts the layout for mobile devices, but it's crucial to review how your store appears on different screen sizes. Ensuring a seamless experience across all devices can significantly impact user satisfaction and conversion rates.

5. Use High-Quality Visuals

Visual content is a critical component of user experience in Amazon Store Setup. High-quality images and videos not only attract attention but also provide essential information about your products. They can influence purchasing decisions by giving customers a clear view of what they are buying.

Ensure that your product images are clear, well-lit, and show the product from multiple angles. Lifestyle images that depict the product in use can also be very effective in helping customers visualize how the product fits into their lives.

Videos, such as product demonstrations or unboxing experiences, can further enhance the user experience by providing more detailed information and reducing uncertainty. These visuals should be easily accessible on the product pages and should load quickly to prevent user frustration.

Conclusion

Organizing your Amazon Store pages effectively is essential for creating a positive user experience, which in turn can lead to higher sales and customer loyalty. By focusing on clear navigation, consistent layouts, mobile optimization, high-quality visuals, and detailed product descriptions, you can create a store that not only meets but exceeds customer expectations.

If you're looking to enhance your Amazon Store Setup, partnering with an experienced Amazon advertising agency can help you optimize your store for better performance. Additionally, collaborating with a Digital Marketing services company can ensure that your brand's online presence is cohesive across all platforms, further driving traffic and sales to your Amazon Store.

Prying Apart The Grip

The iPhone was introduced in July 2007. It’s hard to believe we are coming up on the 17th anniversary of what is now a necessary device—be it Apple or a competitor—for daily living. Apple ushered in a whole new way of life, merging phone, camera, and music player into one device.

Of course, those three were just the tip of the iceberg, and developers wanted a way to get their cool new web-based applications onto those phones. So Apple wisely opened the App Store in 2008. While the number of apps peaked at 2.2 million in 2017, it has settled into a comfortable groove at 1.8 million, thanks to Apple sifting through the mess and deleting some older apps that no longer worked.

But buried in the details of the App Store agreement that developers had to sign with Apple—who vetted each app for safety and security—was some fine print: Every in-app sale would be divided 70/30 between the developer and Apple. Basically, there was and still is a 30% Apple tax just for playing, at least in the US. Every time a user buys something in an app, then Apple gets a healthy chunk of it.

But that is now changing in Europe, where the EU has become the tail that wags the dog.

Remember all those Cookies boxes we have to check off on virtually every website we visit? We can thank the EU and their GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It was easier for everyone to just make it the global standard, even if they are annoying.

And then there was Apple’s announcement last year that all new phones going forward would feature a USB-C connector, instead of the Lightning port. This too was in response to the EU mandating that all phones must have the same connector, and rather than have two global systems, Apple sided with the EU. Admittedly, it does simplify things for everyone, except for Apple users during this transition period. Legacy phone users will have a bunch of obsolete connectors real soon when they upgrade.

The third wave of EU influence just passed, and it is the opening up of the App Store to competitors who wish to have their own stores, thus bypassing the Apple ecosystem. Furthermore, it marks what will be the end of that 30% Apple tax, something that Spotify has been dreaming about ever since it wanted to upsell users with its audio books program. They are pretty happy right now.

Apple, of course, is concerned, arguing that third-party app stores may not pass muster in terms of safety and security, and users could be at risk. Point well taken. I’m betting they are more concerned about losing their revenue sharing program, though.

But for now, this is only going to happen in Europe, but you can bet that US regulators will be watching closely. It could just as easily be mandated here. Apple has enjoyed a tightly-held monopoly in many aspects of its phones, ceding only accessory items to third-party makers. You know. Things like connector cords and dongles that allow you to connect to your laptop all the things that were once standard on a MacBookPro.

Here in the US, we are not accustomed to the heavy hand of government telling companies how to run their business, and if someone wants to take the chance of using proprietary connectors and being the only source of mobile apps, then so be it. The risk is on them.

In the case of Apple, though, this has played out very well for them. It all depends on how the FTC feels about such monopoly power. Apple has 58% share of smartphones in the US, with the remainder scattered across the Android platform. That’s power. If the US were to follow the EU regarding the App Store, it would at least loosen some of the grip this company has on our daily lives.

Maybe that's not such a bad idea, and this coming from a guy who is very laissez faire in worldview. As much as I am an Apple fanboy, with many phones, tablets, and computers through the years, I often feel like Apple is guilty of abusing its position by using customers as product testers, and forcing us to buy things we really don’t want, like those silly dongles so I can read a memory stick or SD card.

Besides, I feel for Spotify on this one, because it has the potential to pose a formidable threat to Audible in the audio book world, except that for now Apple will always have its hand out. Audible, of course, is an Amazon property, and dodges the Apple tax.

Furthermore, 17 years is a long time to have such a death grip on a market. I’m good with following the EU’s lead on this, because in the end it will likely be good for consumers. And isn’t that what it’s all about?

Mobile gaming has never been easier or more affordable!

Most people think of the Nintendo Switch, the Valve Steam deck, and the Asus ROG Ally. However, if your phone is a flagship like the Galaxy S from Samsung, iPhone Pro from Apple, Edge from Moto, or even a OnePlus (not a Nord) that’s been released in the last 4 years, you have a powerful mobile gaming device already. All you need is a couple accessories and you can have a great mobile experience.…

Thinking about the spectrum of what cyborgs can be for a setting I'm working on. Noodling around with a bunch of related concepts.

Prosthetic Wearer - human with artificial accessories to replicate a more 'standard' body. sometimes for utility reasons(i,e; metal arm to grab stuff), sometimes for social ones(i,e; fake nose to stop ppl staring).

Assistive Device User - human with artificial accessories that are so integral to their life that they basically count them as part of their own body, but are NOT designed to mimic a normative body plan. (wheelchair users, glasses users, etc)

Body Modder - human who chooses to deviate from a normative body. includes both organic modification(hormone therapy, scarification) and inorganic(piercings, implanted chips)

Clone type 1(realistic) - human with DNA identical to someone else(see also: identical twin) (Dolly the Sheep)

Clone type 2(cartoon) - copy of someone grown in a big vat. usually "not a real person" whatever that means. (Commander Cody)

Cyborg Type 1(fancy prosthetics) - a human with body parts that have extra gizmos built in. sometimes started as disabled, but sometimes chose to replace standard parts to get the cool gizmos (Darth Vader)

Cyborg Type 2(a new cybernetic being) - a person who has human parts, and has robot parts, and isn't really either one. May have memories of one or more human lives, and also memories and traits like a computer, but isn't just 'a person with metal bits' OR 'a robot with flesh bits'(Motoko Kusanagi)

Cyborg Type 3(meaty robot) - a robot that also has some organic parts, but was never an unmodified human. may or may not be "a real person" depending on the setting. (The Terminator)

Bioroid - a robot that's assembled from 100% organic parts. usually looks like a human, but sometimes they're animals or monsters. (gen 3 synths from Fallout)

Humanized Object Type 1(Animism)- I don't know much about actual animist faiths, but I'm pretty sure their beliefs are somewhat relevant here. Just noting it as something to look into for future reference.

Humanized Object Type 2(projecting onto things) - it's an object, but you started treating it like a person. maybe you even gave it a name and drew a face on it. usually written as (Wilson the Volleyball, The Companion Cube)

Machine - just an object. maybe with some fancy functions. may 'think for itself', but only in a very simplistic way. Doesn't ask for civil rights. (a smartphone)

Representation of a Person - Paintings, Effigies and so on. Not people, but represent people (The Mona Lisa)

There's so much to explore.
