#video game producer

[krissiefox]

Minae Matsukawa is a video game producer who has worked on some of the Ace Attorney games. As the game industry still feels very male dominated to me, it always gives me a happy to learn about other women who work on video games! there's a french language interview here with her (you can translate if needed by using firefox)

And she also has an article on the Ace Attorney wiki.

low tier shitpost for today

[dragongirlafro]

are you FUCKING kidding me. this is the wapeach that got instantly shot down by Miyamoto and banished to the Nintendo vault for practically 20 years????? this is literally the most inoffensive take they could have done on an "evil peach twin" and it was still too much for the old man.

i don't even know what to say at this point lmao. this in a nutshell i think perfectly shows why no matter how much cool shit nintendo does they'll always be held back

VizuL: an adventure in nice colors

Mirtilo is a very troubled guy. One morning, they left home nearly without a trace, looking for their missing parents. Coincidentally, Mirtilo's cousin, Garoa, would pay her beloved relatives a visit moments later! Nobody was home, though. Come along this whimsical, colorful adventure with the two cousins seeking answers at each's own pace.

this is the game development blog for VizuL, an upcoming indie adventure and action game with bosses that conjure projectiles. there's also a story mode in which boss battles are choice-based.

there are two playable characters, Mirtilo (they/it) and Garoa (she/her) and there are different abilities, attacks and dialogue for both characters. the story is linear.

i am the main artist and only musician. the writing is in the hands of other few people beside me.

this game will tackle themes that are deeply personal to me, and can be read as basically a big piece of vent art. but the demo should be tamer and it'll go up to the 3rd stage.

by following this blog, you can keep up with not only updates, but every friday i launch an activity called #Vizul Viernes in which my followers reblog Vizul related posts such as art or screenshots.

you can also keep up with updates by joining VizuL 🌅 Studio, a discord server dedicated not only to VizuL and its updates, but also a music composer community where we hope to collab with one another!

join me, thank you so much for reading!

Hm...

A little context: In Pikmin 4, there's an easter egg where when riding Oatchi with pikmin for an extended amount of time, the pikmin will start singing. There are six different songs they can sing, but until now only 5 have been identified as themes from the series. The 6th was unknown. However, just recently Nintendo published a trailer where the pikmin sing an extended version of the unknown song.

So now that we know the extended song, I wonder if anyone can now identify the source of the song, or if it was written specifically for this commercial, similar to how "Ai no Uta," another song produced to promote Pikmin, is also sung by the pikmin as an easter egg in Pikmin 2.

I've got too many games I want to play and not enough free time 😭 I still need to finish my BG3 playthrough but since Endless Ocean: Luminous came out I've been playing a lot of that instead. Also just got back into Wizard101 last night. Started playing House Flipper again last weekend. Still need to finish BOTW so I can start a TOTK playthrough and finish Pokemon Shield so I can start on Pokemon Violet. I've been fighting off the urge to start up a new Skyrim playthrough for weeks. My brother just told me that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is getting ported to the Switch. And now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to replay DAI... And throughout all of this I'm also playing the hell out of DragonVale on my phone. Someone just pay me to play video games all day please

So we all know Foamstars, aka Splatwatch, is so obviously going to be ass. I haven't even finished the trailer and I am appalled. However, I would like to share with you one minor nitpick in particular that I guarantee will make you suffer. Ready?

At 1:17 in the trailer, a billboard is visible in the background. It looks like this (circle added for clarity).

That is the name of the city the game takes place in. Bath Vegas. Say it out loud, it does not work at all. Upon seeing this, I was upset, but literal seconds later I thought:

Wash Vegas.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE. TEN SECONDS OF THOUGHT. I am so angry. The minds behind Balan WonderlandWORLD produce yet another banger. Bath Vegas. That is the name of the city in this game. This game that is already nothing but a hodgepodge of plagirized ideas held together with generic plasticky anime graphics. This game produced by the bright minds behind Symbiogenesis and Balan Wonderworld.

Square Enix needs to be stopped. We have reached levels of out-of-touch, creatively bankrupt executive slop that shouldn't be possible. Bath Vegas got put into this slick, million-dollar trailer and nobody put in the seconds of thought to realize it was fucking stupid. My heart goes out to the poor animators who had to try to defibrilate this abomination. I wish them a speedy recovery.

Neo Bomberman

In between Bomberman’s farewell to the Super Famicom and his impending years-long journey on the fifth generation of consoles, he found the time to make one last stop at the arcades with Neo Bomberman. Well, one last stop until much, much later in the franchise’s life and in a nearly unrecognizable form, anyway. This time around, the torch was passed to the ever-reliable developer Produce for them to utilize their experience with some of the Super Bomberman games and bring a comparable, safer take on the franchise to the arcades. It’s not quite an exclusively Produce effort, though, as Now Production is credited for sound effects and music composition, three art designers on the development team (Shin Sasaki, Ishikawa Mutsumi and Ishihara Masumi) were from ADS, and Hudson Soft’s Shigeki Fujiwara was a supervisor on the game as well. While not as offbeat or experimental as the Irem games, Neo Bomberman takes all the right cues from Super Bomberman 4, which manifests into a familiar but overall solid experience.

“What do you make of the claims that Robert and Aleksander have made about Ilnar and Tõnas, and the sense that ZA/UM has been stolen from them?”
