13.11.2025 08:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Aha! I just knew it had to be one of the inspirations! :D

12.07.2025 19:08 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0This is lovely! The negative space is really well done and leaves a lot of room for imagination (and typographical elements!)
11.07.2025 20:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Like, I get that it's open source and that's great, but some of the features godot DOES have are crazy, yet.. super niche. While more useful features just are not there
09.07.2025 14:58 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Godot..
Paint vertex colours? NOPE
Replace selected placeholder meshes in scene? NOPE
Separate random X and Y scale for particles? NOPE
Rotate particles on X or Z axis? NOPE
Bake vertex lighting? NOPE
Every little thing I try to do.. ๐ฉ
Finally got some energy to work on something :')

03.05.2025 14:48 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Something like it starting as a 3 month solo university project then developed into a full game over a further 3 years (had a break of around 6-8 months in the middle iirc)
03.05.2025 14:47 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I'm sure there were many other mistakes I forgot! ๐
Anyway, after just over a year, it reached 500 Steam reviews at 94% positive, so you can probably consider Shashingo a success! I do!
Now, I'm just incredibly burnt out..!
(Sorry for the grifter style post! ๐)
๐ฎ Didn't do multi platform launch!
Many Kickstarter backers wanted a Switch key, but I couldn't meet the same release date as I was spread too thin and did the porting by myself. It took half a year and eventually launched on the eShop, but didn't show up for a few days in EU..
๐ฃ๏ธLaunched with no localisation!
For a game about language learning, you'd expect multi-language support, but Shashingo launched with only English -> Japanese. This meant that potential customers were narrowed down to English speakers only!
(More coming in the next update!)
