Hi, I'm Joseph (Mithost), a Canadian game dev, sometimes-artist, and winter enjoyer who likes figuring out how old games work. My game credits include DDLC Plus as well as various mobile games, and I'm working on my own (unannounced) game projects when I can ^^

I hope to share my dev stuff soon! ☃️

on one hand it's sad how the dungeon has kind of stopped existing as something to be explored and braved in rpgs (including mmorpgs) but also I can't even pin that one entirely on computer games because dnd ALSO lost interest in dungeoneering

This is a really cool article! Localization is something I've been interested in for a while, especially since there could be so many differences that have their own challenges being presented to a completely different audience. Not to mention it's also for a series I quite like.

Give it a read!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

If you're at #AGDQ, I have a brand new Magicore demo up and running in the practice room. It'll be here all week. I worked incredibly hard to get this demo done in time for the event, so I hope you take the time to check it out!

I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain
How to use your imagination When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat? If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters. With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing. For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more. The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this: In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends. Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath? The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently. The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.
