Yesterday was our birthday!🐴🎂 We are 15 years old and still here making games. One day we will add a third game to this image, but not today. Thanks for being here

a game someone threw together from whatever prompts worked in 15 will always be a boring consumable object and nothing more. if you want something beautiful and touching in 15 minutes learn to cook simple delicious meals and leave the visual arts alone because you do not understand anything.

anyone thinking of using the "make game" button should go make a burger instead and it will be more satisfying and emotionally affecting than the ai pile you would have made

It should be more illegal to try to replace human beings with robots than it is to drive 8 mph over the speed limit. Everyone who says "A.I. is better than people" in any sort of way should get a ticket and the money should go to buildings low income housing

not telling the people most invested in you about rape when it comes out is taking agency away from them. fitting. i was holding my tongue really hard on this one because i had a lot of complex feelings on it but they've done me the favor of clearing some of those up for me.

i really do believe that people who have done horrible things can grow and move beyond the worst thing in their lives, which means judging the person by what they do now instead of what they did 10 years ago. and what they did now is hide their financials on patreon, which feels like snake behavior.

thank you gramsci

Another thing is overlooked: if the enemy dominates you and you belittle him, do you acknowledge being dominated by someone you consider inferior? But how did he manage to dominate you? How come he defeated you and proved superior to you at precisely the decisive moment that should have revealed the degree of your superiority and his inferiority? The devil must have thrown a monkey wrench into the works. Well, learn to have the devil with the monkey wrench on your side.

Scoot your wheels on over to the WHEELJAM COLLECTION, the absolute best collection of all time (undisputed, fight me). These guys hold a special place in my heart. Not only is this where Hot Shot got it's start, but also the community behind this jam and all it's participants is unlike any other <3

WHEELJAM has absolutely kicked ass to run these past two years, and we wanted to try something a little different to get visibility on the games and the devs that make them, so we made a launcher and a bundle to bring some of the cool games we made to Steam!

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.
