I find it funny when people talk about how games are this art form that can make you feel emotions, but then you bring up something like wanting more games to have timers & people will say its bad design "because it makes me anxious" So emotions only allowed through story, not gameplay. Got it lol.

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.

technically true but there's a more important bit of reasoning behind random encounters than that (getting jumped is funny)

Big fan of attract modes and Super excels in this department. The normal demo showcases a lot of the straightforward abilties, but beating the game then unlocks a new set that shows you even more crazy stuff you never knew you could do.

Got a used copy of doa3, and it's nice how some legacy knowledge (of moves) transfers between games in reverse as well. Makes it easier to jump in and check things out.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

I fell off Metaphor Refantazio pretty fast and intend to finish it eventually, but moot did a great job in LRS breaking down a fundamental problem with the stories in most Katsura Hashino directed games that make it very difficult for me to be nice about them.

Well shit, yeah, Super is still every bit that game they put on a pedestal. The pacing, the physics, the technicality... all gripping at a base level, and it can be pushed further. Many aspects I could fawn over, but an underlying principle had me from the start: speed is a reward, not a right.

Since it's come up a bunch for me lately. Media/Lit analysis and even creating with themes in mind is actually easy. It's like drawing. You just do it. You might lack the skills to articulate an image or an idea or a feeling, and you might not be aware of common tricks and themes, but that's fine!

I was a little worried that I'd start reading a VN and then bounce off within the first 10 minutes, but luckily witch on the holy night leads with a character who's doing a school task on a day off with less than 3 hours of sleep. She might be a little mad and the writing owns it.

One funny thing I've realized over time is that taking a break from a game you're trying to learn actually does help. I've found it's the case for fighting games and tonight was the first time I've grinded DoDonPachi in a few days and it's the best I've done. This image is just unironically true.

This chapter does not actually have unlimited reinforcements but they do start having Void Curse, a skill that disables EXP gain, so you'd think it's a waste to kill them but Anna's Make A Killing can still proc off them so yes you can in fact farm money off them even in Maddening mode
