Bumping this! I'm still searching for localizers for the following below. If that's you, or if you know someone who it fits, please reach out! This is a paid, short term, fully remote opportunity, though you must be in Ontario due to grant restrictions.

Star Sword Nemesis is now available! Read about the most fashionable girl in a utopian collective of Trans-Neptunian Objects falling in love with her fencing instructor, the deadliest turncoat milf in all of space, feat. art by @mightyatom.bsky.social! loveconquersallgames.itch.io/star-sword-n...

Did you know I’ve got a starter pack of awesome people who make awesome video game books and magazines?

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

A black tshirt design with a bald red cardinal in a circle surrounded by flames, with the word bloodcheep in red death metal style letters above it.

Working on a bloödcheëp shirt. I'm proud of those letters.

This is the best sticker that they have ever put on a game box. Even better than ‘Featuring Dante…’

Congrats!!!

Thanks, just did! I also mentioned that the Manga Taisho section is missing a bunch of past winners that are actually available in English on Bookwalker. Seems like that section doesn't get a lot of love.

Gotta get your sleep where you can in a dungeon!

If you want to help support #GoblinGirlGame development and play some pretty damn fine videogames, our back catalogue is currently on sale!

Can now reveal that this post from back in 2024 was about that grant application 😅

I submitted my final report this week, so I'm back to balancing dev on #GoblinGirlGame with contract work. That means updates will be a little slower for awhile. Though I'm hoping to keep up the regular Screenshot Saturday posts if I can!

Haven't posted about it, but I was able to work full time on #GoblinGirlGame over the summer thanks to a grant from Ontario Creates.🍁

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

A list of 28 Manga Taisho (Manga Award) winning titles on Bookwalker. - 1122: For a Happy Marriage. - Witch Hat Atelier - A Bride's Story - Made in Abyss - To Your Eternity - Delicious in Dungeon - Drifting Dragons - Tokyo Tarareba Girls - Erased - Kasane - Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun - A Silent Voice - Land of the Lustrous - Welcome to the Ballroom - The Ancient Magus Bride - Ajin Demi Human - Haven't You Heard? I'm Skamoto - The Seven Deadly Sins - The Flowers of Evil - Your Lie in April - Descending Stories - Kokkoku: Moment by Moment - Attack on Titan - Thermae Romae - Space Brothers - Princess Jellyfish - Chihayafuru - Yotsuba&!

@bookwalker-gl.bsky.social desperately needs to add some customization to their store page. I have to scroll through endless isekai dominated categories to hit the single one that's close to my reading habits, the manga Taisho winners: only 28 titles and I've already read at least half of them.

Late night #screenshotsaturday!
Getting back to some gameplay portrait fun, adding this quick toothy grin for picking up chests and other important items.

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

Starting a vegetarian organized crime ring. Unmarked boats of veggie meat arriving in the dead of night on the shores of lake Ontario.

Weird thing with Field Roast, we've had a different (worse) recipe for the sausages in Canada for the last decade. We used to get the US version but some Canadian regulatory agency wanted a key ingredient used in them tested on animals so they had to change it. I miss the US ones.
