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.

This one is also amazing because they clearly used La Toya as reference 😂

thinking about the perfect fall outfit again 🍂

Black & white illustration of Akane Tendo from the Ranma 1/2 manga by Rumiko Takeshi. She’s wearing a dark top & a short high-waisted skirt with black tights & cute little boots. She’s also got a cool belt & a fanny pack hanging on one hip. The pièce de résistance is her jacket, which is oversized & boxy & has a pattern of huge jack-o-lantern faces which say PUMPKIN beneath them.

We’re setting the record straight. As federal officials consider changes to protections for gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves, the narrative that wolves are a major threat to livestock is being used to justify increased lethal control. But the numbers tell a different story.

Parents: just because 'your child' is smiling at their phone doesn't mean they have a 'boyfriend or girlfriend.' Maybe they're just looking at screenshots of 'the 1998 PlayStation classic Xenogears.'
