I've played a bit of PLINTH and it kicks ass, and I'm scared of what the community will build in terms of custom levels.

If no one pipes up with 1, lemme know, I'm in the middle of shipping lots of games.

I've got a spare boxed Sonic 1, 2, and Spinball that I'd be happy to send your way.

If your cohort of internet personalities reaches a certain threshold where you think you might have a reasonably sized platform and are making some income, ask everyone in your group for a background check, and avoid this kind of shit.

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.

While everyone's looking at my beautiful photoshop work, it feels like a good time to repost the store. I also need to add a bunch of stuff, I just haven't had the time!

Sometimes a logo looks like another logo and you also happen to find weirdly clean key art.

While we've been hard at work on Project Lexa, we've also been trying to answer a very important question: what's the final name of this game going to be? Well, now we have an answer — Project Lexa is now just Lexa! ward-games.com/post/project...

We're excited to announce the new name of Project Lexa!

I should probably let go of this very cool Super Famicom storage system rather than just put it in storage... but it's so cool. :( You can even have it hooked up while it's closed.

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

Do you think Bungie can turn Marathon around with its upcoming updates?

I'm sure Meta threw a bunch of money at Capcom to make this happen. This doesn't seem like the kinda thing Capcom would've decided to do entirely on their own. I hope it's only a timed exclusive, as it seems like it'd be neat.

I'm sad this is Quest only, but I get it.

I know it is, I'm just grumpy.

I recently bought this mug and I will say that my life does feel better for it.

A stock photo of the IKEA BATIKBOTIA Mug, yellow. The yellow feels much richer in real life than in the photo, and the inside is fully yellow. It is warm and lovely.

If it's on android, I'd try installing a nice frontend like Cocoon or ES-DE. I've been enjoying customizing my Pocket Nova to feel like a fancy handheld.
