Seagull

Come to think of it...

it's nearly impossible to talk about a game in development without spoiling anything!

What can art do

The core implementation is mostly complete, and we'll now focus on developing the music, graphics, maps, and other elements.

However, it's still riddled with bugs. Moreover, I can't even explain what kind of game it will be yet.

Japan is clearly heading toward decline right now.

Is it because of my age that I find beauty in paintings that aren't perfectly rendered?

Is it a backlash against AI generated image?

By the way, AI is advancing at an unimaginable pace. It's like Pandora's box.

Drying up in the debug room

I’d been bedridden with severe seasonal depression. While I was laid up, I kept thinking about friends who had died. A friend with schizophrenia who gave me a PC when I was homeless in Tokyo. An ASD woman raised by toxic parents who showed me affection for the first time. An alcoholic ADHD otaku who accompanied me when I applied for welfare. They all died in ways “infinitely close to suicide.” I received their Humanity from their corpses.

— By the way, I like Sonic the He...

Redraw the pixel art.

Scrapped the project and rebuilt it.

(Please be careful as I am concerned about the volume of the video.)

report

While working, I continue to make games as usual. However, it is surprisingly not close to completion. It is only recently that I have finally settled on an art style.

For years, my pixel art has been a specialized exploration of single-picture landscapes. Therefore, it took me a long time to remember how to hit the pixel for games. To do so, I had to revive the feeling I had 20 years ago.

And now that I have remembered, I am no longer able to maintain my form as a “modern man�...

Work in progress. I don't know when it will be completed !!

Traveled for two weeks.

Have you heard of an indie game called "Cave Story"? That game is a legend for me. I met its developer.

We talked all day long in a cafe and bar and had a great time, and met again the next day. At the end, we broke up, saying to each other, "It's not enough.

In my life, where I do not fit in society and love solitude, this was a precious thing.

Later, I saw the sea in Kagawa with a friend with whom I always travel. A few days later, I called on her again, this time to see c...

It’s a Japanese-style desk calendar covering from April of this year through March of next year.

It might seem odd to share this with everyone who supports me, but…

Lately, even when I receive large corporate projects, I’ve been turning them down more often, explaining that I can’t take a prosocial stance on social media—especially given its unpredictable reactions.

Since dropping out of high school, I’ve never intended to live a “proper” life. Art education, Adobe’s student discounts, and jobs with unmanageable responsibilities have never been for me.

I...

(new song) oboreru sakana

https://soundcloud.com/1041uuu/oboreru-sakana

I’ve created a new song.
Music production based on loops is very similar to the process of creating GIF animations.
However, it sometimes pulls me into an even more abstract world than visuals do, which can be dangerous.

I Composed a Song

Title : 澱(dregs)

https://soundcloud.com/1041uuu/4j4nvrv2q5rk

As part of creating a game, I produced some music using a DAW.
I absolutely wanted to use my own compositions, but at this rate, how many years will it take to finish?
Well, I was born to enjoy the process—so I guess that’s just how it is.

There’s still plenty of room for improvement, but I hope to get better bit by bi...

(Repost) Resumed game development.

(I failed to upload the video, so I reuploaded it.)

I have reported on my game development several times in the past. However, none of those projects were ever completed, nor did I provide any follow-ups. They were merely play, experiments, and pure products of thought.
I recently restored a project file from over five years ago and decided to remake it.

At the time, my goal was simply to create a 2D swimming simulator. However, as I explored its deeper meaning and align...

Delay in Online Sales Launch

We had planned to launch the online sales at the end of 2024, but both the person in charge and I caught a cold at the same time. We expect to begin within this month. We apologize for the inconvenience.

(text) Reflection on Winter

Here, I will share some of my works along with my trivial writings.

As this is a format where long texts are interspersed with "Unrelated" works, I hope it can be appreciated as such.

Please forgive the incomplete translation.

Since I was a child, I have been dominated by an insatiable desire for someone to listen to me and understand me.

Because of this, controlling my emotions has always been difficult, and creating serene Animations became the only way to...

Announcement

At the end of this month, probably around the 25th or 28th, I will be selling 8 types (32 varieties) of postcards and 12 types of A2 to A4 posters online. I had announced this before, but it has been slightly delayed.

Of course, it is also possible to purchase from overseas.

I will introduce the lineup later.

Record of a fool's life

For the first time in two months, I went out properly. Three hours by train.

Excited about a real open world, I enjoyed the annoying crowds.

Ate some ramen noodles.

I bought some clothes at my usual store. I found a checkered shirt that almost looks black. Upon closer inspection, it had orange and blue lines, which gave it a complex, almost green color. Along with it I bought a burnt umber T-shirt.

It was almost black all over, but if you look closely, you can see a sl...
