This interview on Tokimeki Memorial 2 when it was early in development is full of great info & chatter. The devs talk about plans, player feedback, & how the "Romance SLG" genre label came about to differentiate the Tokimeki style of game from other "gal games".

"Aitakute..." for PS1 gives its characters simple IDLE animations/pose changes beyond a basic blink to make them feel more lively & I think that's really neat!

While most older PC games show you their install progress with a simple bar or graphic over a BG, Emu's 2001 VN "Railway ~Koko ni Aru Yume~" gives you a little manga, where a new page appears every 25% complete!

I finished No Sleep for Kaname Date! I had fun but there wasn't much that really stood out to me. Was great seeing the AI cast again, tho!

My favorite thing in it was a series of unlockables I won't spoil. Fans of traditional Chunsoft titles will get a kick out of them!

These days I'm terrified that if LovePlus returns Konami will make its big selling point AI. Conversational AI, voice AI, even art if they lean into a "look your girlfriend can draw for you!"...

Yuke's knows how to evoke the spirit of nakige & make emotionally riveting stories with cute characters so I think this is a good fit.

I love the excitement game companies had when filter effects in things like Photoshop were brand new in the mid 90s.

It's so common to find special wallpapers from that era that are just regular art assets fed through lotsa filters & it's just so funny to look at nowadays.
