It’s officially been 5 years since AI: The Somnium Files, an absolute fucking masterpiece, was released

A simple response but I've been blessed with a 👍🏻 from Uchikoshi lol

When I play an Uchikoshi game—famous for having plot twists that recontextualize gameplay mechanics and player assumptions—and the plot twist recontextualizes gameplay mechanics and the assumptions I’ve been making

Even more (wild) info on "The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-"

In a Famitsu interview, Kodaka has revealed many interesting things and general background details/info about The Hundred Line and its development.

Every playable character specializes in a "Special Subject" and a distinct weapon that are reflected in their clothing. This is the analog to the "Ultimate" student talents, essentially.

More clearly outlining the staff: The overall scenario is by Kodaka and Uchikoshi, who also shared script-writing duties. Komatsuzaki and Masafumi Takada return from Danganronpa and Master Detective Archives to once again handle character art/design and music, respectively. Nothing very surprising here.

The white ghost-like mascot is named "Sirei" in the original Japanese, and the tanukis seen in the 'Extreme x Despair' concept art are apparently the origin of the character.

He says that the team went into debt to create this game, ultimately taking out a loan to finance it.

"If the game doesn't sell, we can't pay off our debt. In that sense, this is a rare opportunity for players. You get to witness how the sales of a single title can affect the future of a company and its creators."

Apparently the game's lengthy development included a previous publishing deal falling through, which temporarily cancelled the game.

This is also a big reason why the original concept art doesn't much resemble the current product. In regards to the differences from the original concept art, Kodaka says, "The concept of the work has not been changed, but in order to make a proper restart, the character designs were renewed. Although these appearances changed, the setting was still inherited from the original work, so similar characters will appear."

MEANWHILE... per an article from RockPaperShotgun, The Hundred Line is reportedly promising "100 Extreme/Despair-Filled Endings." I can only guess that they're talking about variations in the ending depending on who falls in battle, kind of like Fire Emblem - maybe?

Cover art for a silly little AU I made up last year!

Some time before the events of the Digimon fleeing in droves to the real world, Hiro goes missing along with the rest of the team. Gammamon is the only one left, and in the midst of his confusion, he can only call on Hiro’s best friend to help him. Although not chosen by destiny, three ordinary children take it upon themselves to bring back those who were.

"Faith, Hope, Love and Luck" I’ve played through 999 and a bit of VLR, and Clover is my favorite Zero Escape character so far! I loved everything about her in the first game Also wanted to try a different eye shape ehe

[yourfavoritehouseplant]

I've been watching a friend play 999 and quickly became obsessed with how often characters bring up that stupid fucking Ice Mummy on the Titanic.

[apollolewis]

I’m only including the ones I personally played, so basically just Zero escape and AI games.
