If you haven't checked it out, his indie stuff is genuinely weirder than the licensed anime he's known for. Heavy French new wave / theater of the absurd vibes. Unfortunately most of his major life's work, the Kerberos Saga isn't even available as fan translations en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerbero...

You asked for it! The long-awaited sequel to You Are Jeff Bezos is finally here:
YOU ARE ELON MUSK
200+ passages. 7 endings. Secrets. In-jokes. Giant robots. All with the purpose of doing one thing: SPENDING ALL OF ELON MUSK'S FUCKING MONEY

With that being said:
โข Thereโs still no official response in regards to the Seven Seas Union or why Seven Seas employees were not i formed about the acquisition prior
hopefully we get a statement soon like this one but that remains to be seen
Media Do/Seven Sea issued a new statement regarding AI Translation
โข They state that there are no plans to implement AI for their translation & localization work
โข They clarify the AI Assisted tool MDTS was intended for JPN translators to TL Japanese literature & wonโt be implemented at Seven Seas
Screenshot of Wonder Project J2, Josette is jumping for joy.
Great episode! It didn't get mentioned, but Wonder Project J2 is the most Pac-Man 2-ish style game I've come across. A lot of similar puzzles about directing attention and indirectly getting the main character into the right emotional headspace, as well as hidden easter egg animations to discover.

Deleted a quote post about the Seven Seas acquisition / AI translation debacle where I mixed up Seven Seas and another English Manga publisher. ๐
This is why I shouldn't social media while deep in tax spreadsheets.
๐จ UPDATE ๐จ
Seven seas stated in a follow up press release that Media Doโs acquisition will not affect daily operations, however..
Media Do has said they will use Ai to โto assist translators in translating manga into English, shortening the translation time from five to six months to two months.
Kensuke Ushio never misses.

Dug up a screenshot I took of Fray for PC Engine from my reference files, and while it looks great, I definitely prefer the character portrait in the PC98 version, really benefits from both the higher resolution and more 80's character design.

I've only played the PC Engine version. I wonder how it compares.

Oh I'm going deep with the reactive portrait stuff! Plan to cover every major gameplay action and state she gets in.

Fray's portrait in the corner looks kind of dejected and angry
she gets mad if you take a lot of damage..

Surprising no one, I am a big fan of this giant sized portrait that indicates health in Fray.
Doom's health portrait was coward sized. A mere postage stamp on the screen.
Evil? Never! Greedy for treasure? Absolutely!

There are some other super easy to implement variations on this idea I'm going to add soon, mostly just need to draw the art!
