How Do You Media Do? - TheOASG Krystallina takes a look at Media Do International, a new company publishing manga digitally, and what's good & bad about the service today.

Just sharing this old article from @theoasg.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy where they reviewed Media Do International stuff that was released in 2017. Not a lot of confidence tbh

Demon's Keep by Far Away Times Micro-RPG study.

Demon's Keep by @farawaytimes.bsky.social is so well done. Features minimalist design while still completing a satisfying mechanical and narrative arc in just an hour. What a treat!

Obtaining the Sword of the Divine from a spirit that looks like a white dragon

You receive 15,808 experience (called Virtue in this game) each time you get the sword. That's a lot, but the exp curve at this point gives you large amounts of experience from every battle anyway, so this isn't as gamebreaking as it sounds (unless you're very patient)

In Tengai Makyou: Ziria, you get a large EXP bonus when you're given the Sword of the Divine. If you decide to drop the sword, you can talk to the spirit that gave it to you to get another one as well as the same experience bonus again.

This can be done for infinite experience, which is very funny

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). My character has just met Sparkster, of Rocket Knight Adventures fame, in an ordinary street. In spite of the fact that the game is otherwise full of ordinary humans, he is still clearly a goggles-wearing possum in blue armour.

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). We fight on the cobbled street. Sparkster's proportions are more "realistic", but it's still recognisably him. His rocket pack gives off little gusts of air.

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). Still, in battle, Sparkster prepares for a special attack. The cut-in art shows him smiling, ready to strike.

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). Sparkster rocket boosts towards my character, turning blue and smeary in the process.

YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THIS SEMI-SECRET CHARACTER ENCOUNTER IN MITSUMETE KNIGHT

Remember the old 2000s fansub days, when groups would race to get subs out so that they'd be the first and get the most viewers even if it meant tons of preventable errors?

Or how some groups would pick a neglected series/genre, produce a slapdash, low-effort TL, then go "It's better than nothing"?

UPDATE:

It's being reported that some Seven Seas employees were not told of this acquisition ahead of time and are finding out about it at the same time as the public

As of reporting there's still no official statement from @sevenseasentertainment.com details or impacts of this acquistion

Iji is enduringly legit. Original release in 2008 but got a major update in 2021 adding a whole second set of weapons for non-lethal play.

Pombon, the new Pokemon fire starter. A Pomeranian with red highlights.

Greater Dog, a giant dog knight from Undertale.

“What’s Pombon gonna evolve into.”
“I hope it doesn’t get big and humanoid.”
“There’s no way to know what it’s gonna look like.”

It was there all along.

Ikoku Nikki's idea of a moment of respite is restructuring multiple plotlines that fit under the idea of looking for your true self & facing the future to guide its protagonist, while occasionally whispering to the audience that they could still kill them at any moment

Pokémon at 30 is an unrecognizable institution | scrmbl Your journey used to begin with a video game cartridge and a choice...

With a lot of people looking nostalgically on Pokemon for the 30th anniversary, I wanted to put together a Pokemon Day piece that took a different approach

This is a series embracing new ideas and transforming what the series can be, breaking from those nostalgia shackles to become something new
