Akarmyu @akarmyu.bsky.social · 10hAI has come a long way, but I feel that, since AI has no emotions of its own, whether it can recreate catharsis and a sense of agency in games depends on whether its creators have the know-how to make that possible. 010

Akarmyu @akarmyu.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I also prefer positioning over situations where everything is solved by parrying. I’ve been playing SEKIRO lately as well, and surprisingly, the game doesn’t rely on parrying as much as I expected. It’s strange, considering people talk about “Sekiro-likes” as if parrying is their defining feature. 110
Akarmyu @akarmyu.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Parrying is definitely a fun mechanic, but I still think there’s room to question whether it works like magic and automatically makes a game more enjoyable. 1110

Akarmyu @akarmyu.bsky.social · 18/05/2026It’s been one month since I released PURPLEARC. Some players compared it to Kirby’s Epic Yarn, while others compared it to Dark Souls. That was an interesting experience. 081

Akarmyu @akarmyu.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I'm worried that PURPLEARC might come across as "forgiving" at first glance. In fact, I especially want hardcore players who enjoy replaying games over and over to actively give it a shot. 040
