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.

all vibe-coded ports look and feel like shit because theyre made by people without the experience or passion to pay attention to the small details these projects are like a disease to the reverse engineering community and must be rejected at all costs if we want to maintain a standard of quality

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

Hiking Break 🐻🐭

Illustration featuring Gris and Perl from my manga "Go! Go! Gris!" on a hike. They are sitting under a thick tree on a bench while Perl feeds Gris a shrimp, because this dumb bear girl already ate all her rations at the beginning of the hike. Next to them is a sign that says "Beware of bears! Do NOT feed!"

you hate the breaking benjamin guy for vibe coding a bad fallout 4 mod and complaining about it at a concert (lol), i hate the breaking benjamin guy for how he fired his bandmembers and then sued them for, as charitably as possible, not cc'ing him in an email

no shade to this guy but like this kind of video is popping up in my recommended increasingly often and it makes me feel a little sick every time. an artistic masterpiece that defined a genre played through a clauded pc port with a diluted camera mod and dlss 5 faces over ps1 models

An hour long YouTube video titled "Silent Hill (1999) with DLSS 5 and Camera over the shoulder mod Gameplay Part 1 | PC Port - 4K 60fps". The thumbnail seems to be an AI-upscaled frame from the cutscene where you are introduced to Cybil, while on the right there's an overlay saying "4K ULTRA HD" and "DLSS 5 On". The video was uploaded 3 days ago and has 7.5k views.

I wish we got some slightly older l4d1 builds though, I wanna see older map designs... it'd also be cool to see a build from when they still used csbot for common infected, maybe also one from the super early proto phase (everyone is a color-coded css leet)

checking out early l4d1/2 from terarelease and wow, I appreciate these games even more now. the development pace was insane, especially on l4d2. what do you MEAN dead center was whipped up last minute?

i wrote this incredibly silly little tune for @notnite.com's birthday. it was featured in a game produced by @hl2.sh which was basically just a very contrived way for our entire friend group to wish her a happy birthday. doing stuff like this reminds me why i do any of this in the first place, lol.

instant gratification is not fun. "movement" games seem to have a tendency to be basically only that. extra minus points for the obnoxious fov change and speed lines and whatever else blur filter they got when you go >1 meter an hour, I'm trying to do tricks and I need to see where I'm going
