With David Rosen's death, bad information about Sega as a company is starting to re-emerge across the internet.
I will try to give a very condensed version of the Sega corporate shenanigans here as to clear some of the air. 🧵

Wake up babe, new NiGHTS lore just dropped.
![Trivia:
In my logo, only the “i” is lowercase.
It represents a tiny “love” (pronounced [aɪ] in Japanese) just starting to bloom between Elliot and Claris — a small love story.
私が作ったこのロゴ、「i」だけが小文字ですね？
これは、芽生え始めた「小さな"愛"」を意味しているのです。](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sh673rl7j4cvljnuufcqoey4/bafkreia3bkjznta6acey5f7iccvm4w6kjzaxlipkamihpvn3yg4h2wv2wu@jpeg)

Just digitizing some old videos. Did you know SNES Earthbound used to have a different title screen? (Did anyone know this?)

Despite its stylish editing, I always suspected the cover for the original SS and PS Baroque editions featured an actual model, as opposed to a CG render. Today's Baroque-Ya press release made this pristine photo available. I have no reservations attributing this work to Eisaku Kitō.

これはムック用に描きおろしたイラスト
大カプコン展にてこの下絵が見れます
よく見るとうっすら下に描いてある絵が透けていて
これはラフ下書きの上に新しい紙を載せてライトボックスを使って清書してたんですね〜
コピー用紙は簡単に透けるし取り扱いが楽で当時のデザイン室ではみんなこれに描いてたと思う
他の絵も下書きが透けてるやつありますので観察して見てみたってください

Deep Fear is often presented as a Resident Evil clone (which it probably is). However, the game was already in development in 1995, more than three years before its release (and a year before Capcom's game) – an unusually long time for a game produced in the 1990s.
In the second half of the 1990s, Rieko Kodama had the strange privilege of working on both the last Saturn game to be released in the US—Magic Knight Rayearth—and the last Saturn game to be released in Europe—Deep Fear.

So that's where the SNES CD Play Station Dev Kit went.
Successful trip to the Sac Gamers Expo today!!! I saw the SNES CD add-on prototype in person, played a few unreleased prototype PS1 games, and did a bunch of retro game shopping.
And a 2-hour PS1 making-of panel retrospective!

I've been known to source new data on obscure games. The Book of Watermarks is different. It's an obscurantist work of fiction. As extensive as my analysis may be, I can't bring myself to put in words what makes it so, nor can I comment on the reason why. shorturl.at/OAUcQ
