Meet the Heptocrew: The Heptful Seven

I told you to keep an eye on this bunch!

While I’m on a roll with explaining some things that heptos get up to in their life, I thought I introduce you to the seven heptos you recently saw in our latest discovery!

We'll start from the top left and work our way down. Ready to meet some of the crew? (Note: this is a long post!)

Starting with Lily, the latest out of this group to be discovered! She's a stealth heptopod, and she appears to have a... flower at the tip of her tail that can open and close on command? She's been described as having a shy but happy personality, and according to our lab reports was found sneaking around the Lab before we eventually discovered her! Those stealth heptos really can just blend in, huh?

Next up, Ramuterasu (or just Ramu) who is a strength heptopod and is the only one of his kind out of this group. You can probably see in the above group photo that with his big tails, he can use it as a major air advantage, being able to launch himself like a spring high into the air. Otherwise, our records describe him as a pretty chill heptopod who's just happy to hang out with others like him!

In the middle of the group is Amber, a stealth heptopod with very squibble-like hair! I'm not actually how I describe her hair, it's either wavy or squiggly, I can't really tell but what I can tell you is that she's a very friendly hepto with a cheery personality who just brings a smile to everyone's face! She's also not afraid to use her tail to an advantage as seen above, even if it doesn't reach as high as Ramu's.

At the bottom left is Ivy, another stealth heptopod. She's pretty chilled-out like Ramu, keeping her style to what she sees to fit her most for the day! She's also not afraid to have a little fun here and there, and participate on any shenanigans that the group also happens to participate in (yes, even if it's slightly brushing away the idea of playing a game that could possibly end the world). Did I mention that heptopods are shenanigan causers?

Next to Ivy is Zepht, the stealth heptopod you probably recognise! He's probably the most chaotic of the group next to Hyla, always thinking up of some shenanigans for the group to get involved in. Getting the group into a lobby that probably breaks the team size rules was his idea after all!

The blue one is a stealth heptopod we'll call V, as they would like to keep their true name a secret. That said, a tiny heptopod with a tiny name doesn't shy from a big personality, down to the tail which is probably the same length as the rest of their body if I had to guess. They even have a tiny crest poking out from the crown they're wearing, isn't it silly? In a good way, of course! ^^;

And finally, there's Hyla! It's as if green stealth heptopods are the ones who cause the shenanigans around this group. As for Hyla, she has an upbeat and energetic personality that may go a bit too over sometimes, but otherwise just hangs out with this group to have fun and also encourage others to join in. After all, what's a friendship group without the fun?

Whew, we've finally reached the end and I've realised that's a lot of heptopods in one post... so I think I'll leave it here for now! Tune in next time as we continue to meet the rest of the heptocrew! Until then!

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

Weighing in on metroidvania definitions: A metroidvania MUST HAVE a long vertical shaft filled with enemies. I call them "bastard tubes" and they're mandatory

A Splatacular Scene: Heptopods in Splatoon

Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago that we found some of our heptos lurking in Minecraft? Well, it seems as of late they've picked up yet another hobby: being on top of the turf!

Huh... that's odd, there's only seven heptopods instead of a normal group of eight in a match (as if the group count matches the appendage count of heptos or something)... is this bunch of chaotic beings bending the rules of the game? Surely not!

Well, some researchers think they would absolutely be capable of that as well and makes them perfect candidates for a game session scenario that they seem to be working on but I'm not so sure of the details myself... time will tell, I suppose!

This bunch seemed to form up recently with shared interests: they were all heptopods, they liked Splatoon and they liked those squishy sea creatures that we call octopuses. Who knows, maybe you'll see this group more often doing things together, so keep an eye out!

Masahiro Sakurai's official YouTube channel, "Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games", features many illustrations of people to demonstrate various concepts. These are usually not related to the Nintendo-specific video game imagery in the videos, though on occasion, the illustrations do reference Nintendo properties.

In the "Avoiding Comparison [Planning & Game Design]" video, Sakurai uses an illustration of a man that "reminds his girlfriend of Donkey Kong" as an example of a comparison that makes sense to someone familiar with the subject, but would not make sense to those unfamiliar with it.

I was gonna pick a fight with the Splatoon fandom by saying that of the three bands, "Deep Cut" has the worst name, but then I remembered that if you really wanna pick a fight with Splatoon fans you have to tell them the Orbly Sprinkler requires no skill or something
