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.

i don't remember why i made this but i stumbled upon it in my images while looking for something else apologies to @jordanmagnuson.bsky.social and also (i assume?) @gregoryaveryweir.bsky.social
Screenshot of the Steam page for Loneliness by Jordan Magnuson, except the name "Loneliness" has been replaced with the phrase "I'm leading my swarm on a mission to go to the end of the map and kill god" in the Steam title, in the Steam capsule image, and in the cut off "Play [title of game]" Steam dialog at the bottom. However the positional links at the top have been left the same (All Games > Indie Games > Loneliness), this is probably an oversight.

The game preview is a frame of the trailer where a testimonial quote from Gregory Weir has been altered to say "Affected me the first time[ I lead my swam on a mission to go to the end of the map and killed god], and even more strongly the second."

"AI is here to stay; you can't put the genie back in the bottle" is a classic motte-and-bailey argument. It's deployed like "LLMs will stay popular for all generative work, replacing traditional labor," but the only defensible interpretation is "neural nets will keep being used for some stuff."
