Yes it's an almost 10 year old game. Yes, I know some people have made insane things, but damn it I am proud of this one.

A hefty budget availability was dangled in front of our noses, and at the time, I was in the process of writing a concept for a 2D platform/puzzle co-op game (think Lost Vikings) with a large cast of genetically mutated moles (hilariously dubbed "Mutant Moles: Escape from L.A.B."

It was the very first RPG I ever played in 1987. I had no idea what was going on, but loved it nonetheless. I still remember where I got stuck in the game for a month and why. I remember going to the travel shop to buy a little Japanese book to learn katakana so I could save the game.

I highlight this comment from the article, because beside my obvious 'human talent' objection to using genAI to replace human artistry, this is just hopelessly naïve.
No you don't get extra tracks and extra cars, you get less budget and two weeks notice.

Me and my mom enjoying the sunshine at 2am in the morning (in Norway, the sun was rising again after never setting)...I must have been 15/16 or so. So uh...1989ish if I had to guess. Yes I'm that ffing old.

I have yet to find the motivation and time to make boards so I can hang them all 😂 I use a back board to prevent having to drill a gazillion holes in the wall, like I did here:

Fun fact: I once pitched an in-between story to Konami that would play after Suikoden II. I know Murayama-San had seen it, but as with many proposals to Konami it never went anywhere.

Followed you guys based on a screenshot but after reading up on it a bit more...it seems we have the same taste in composers! I once wrote a concept that had Iwadare-San and Naruke Michiko team up for the score. I even met up with him in Tokyo to discuss it, alas it never went beyond concept.

I am so excited for you!! When I moved last year it was the first time in 10 years I had an actual home office, so I remember how giddy that made me!
