y'all should check out Hyper Bun Buster it's something fresh and exciting in the arcade scene that should be celebrated. it can't be described by just pointing at games that came before it (footage from Maddison Baek on YT)

Recently I've surprised myself on how making the camera move once in a while for RPG cutscenes makes a bit of difference. Thing was that the camera for Hazuki was super hardcoded weirdly, where it just follows an invisible player object all the time. Now it has a proper camera
