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! ☃️

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform.
We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

adding music to this makes it a special kind of hell. the intermittent lag from recording really enhances the experience

It's been 8 whole years today since #DDLC released! Thank you Dan, and thank you to the DDLC community that continues to support and celebrate our little game.
This year I'd like to particularly thank anyone who has created (or shared!) a DDLC fan work over these past 8 years, big or small.

It's worth remembering: Video games are hard to make. And they're made by people. And most of the time, when people are making video games, they're not telling you about it. They're making the video games.
