ミルキージェームズ (Remastered) @milkman.bsky.social · 10h

I’ve been occasionally breaking down into a mess throughout the day, but I am finding solace in the 4+ hours of conversation I recorded with Itagaki-san last year for a book we were working on together. They were his development memoirs, and I will do everything in my power to bring this to life.

One of my favorite anecdotes about Tomonobu Itagaki was his reaction to the Kinect reveal event back in 2010: www.ign.com/articles/201...

From Ninja Gaiden to Dead or Alive & Devil's Third, you were a game director operating on a whole other level. Your games carried a strong aura, sharpened like fine blades. Your design philosophies were always bold yet inspiring.

Thank you for everything, Tomonobu Itagaki.

Sometimes I think about the nameless innkeeper from "Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception" & wonder why they gave her portraits even though she serves no narrative purpose...

Thank you for every message, every word of support, and for your patience.

We promised 2025 and we kept that promise.

You might really like Gurumin! It's on 3DS (digital only tho) and is a cutesy 3D action platformer made by Falcom!

"Neko na Kankei" is a galge for PS1 made by Victor Interactive Software with a twist. In the day, you bond with heroines as a human but at night, you turn into a cat! As a cat, you are given a chance to overcome shyness while in turn see the "true", private side of a heroine.
