We’re already half-way through…
Today, I present to you the character in 6th place.
Today, we’ll announce 7th place.
Today, I’ll announce who’s in 8th place.
Starting today, we will be announcing the top 9 characters. Today’s is the least popular.
One evening Minanoop and Kappa briefly gave me a run down on their future top-secret project: a weird shoot ‘em up with a flying hamster shooting at some freakish enemies.
We are back with the continuation of RAM’s tutorial for Guwange! The second half of this tutorial is aimed towards advanced players, so make sure you have the basics down before going any further.
Guwange is a hard game. We should know! That’s why, at Siliconera’s invitation, we’ve arranged for a well-known shooting game player, Kaisetsu-kun RAM, to give you a little guide to the game.
When I was asked to write a devblog my initial thought was that this was a great idea. Actually, this is my first time speaking publicly about my work so that’s quite unusual, especially after months of work to launch the Flying Hamster.
One of the particular challenges of this game was the jokes. There are jokes in other games but 999 had a lot of them, and they almost all revolved around Japanese puns or wordplay, which meant that they were absolute nonsense in English.
Last time I talked about the game’s main mode called the Legend Mode. However …hold your breath… (you may exhale now) … there is a secondary mode called Dream Mode.
How does one wind up getting paid for haphazardly throwing Castlevania references into games he loves? Well…let’s find out, shall we?
As I worked on the edits, I saw the title more as a juxtaposition of reality and fantasy, idealism and realism, the human condition and the human imagination, the… you get the idea. Or do you?
I’ll admit it right here and now. To all of you. Yes, YOU! I am a huge fan of Fist of the North Star. I grew up with the manga in my childhood and the series is one of my fondest memories.
