Fangamer @fangamer.com · 6h

Our new DELTARUNE launch features everything you might need to cook for yourself and your friends: A cute bento box, a high-definition Kiss the My Ass apron, and a pair of lounge shorts decorated with little angelic Spamtons.

Available now: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

A photo of a DELTARUNE bento box with a cute illustration of Ralsei dressed up as a chef on the lid. The lid is a light orange checkerboard pattern; the box itself is a very light turquoise that's reflected on Ralsei's glasses and frying pan.

A photo of a white apron with the phrase "Kiss the My Ass" on the front in basically the same typeface used in DELTARUNE.

A closeup photo of a pair of black lounge shorts. There's a heart pattern separated by clouds; an illustration of a cherubic Spamton with wings and a halo is lying or sitting on the clouds in various poses.

like there is no perfect social media especially today but I think about how at its best it was like, okay I have a way to keep up with friends and have my own space but without being completely sealed off so I can never meet anyone new. sometimes you really did meet people you never would have

Yeah I had a similar effect going on until I grew a beard during lockdowns. Fond memories of being asked if I was old enough to sit in an exit row on a plane (the requirement is to be 15 and I was at the time 27)

A new week begins with more close reading of Radiant Dawn. This time, we move to ask: what the hell happens after the glorious hero reclaims her kingdom?

We shift from gritty tactics to a fantasy spectacle filler arc that nevertheless has a lot to say!

With The Heart Of A Servant: The “Filler Arc” Of Radiant Dawn

I’ve been playing a sinful amount of Fire Emblem lately and there’s been a lot of joy and creative energy as a result. That’s odd to say about playing a bit commercial franchise there’s been a lot of....

I have to assume this is widely known in the industry. If not I sincerely pray for all my friends in game devs that the Pokémon dev cost:profit ratio does not become the new goal of publishers

If I'm a AAA publisher and I'm learning for the first time that it costs less than $20 million to make a new Pokemon generation I'm getting out the osmanthus tea

Stealth40k @stealth40k.bsky.social · 2d

Leaked Pokemon budget information:

Pokémon Legends Z-A: 2 billion yen (approx. $13 million) Pokemon Gen 10: 3 billion yen (approx. $20 million)

For how much main Pokemon games sell on average, this is a budget designed to never have to worry about not making profit.

I would LOVE to know how the budget for "actually making new guys" is allocated. With how broadly they're used I can't imagine the budget for gen 10 actually includes all the costs of creating the 80 new Pokemon from scratch

I've been testing out adding greenscreen footage into Unreal, but compressing it to look like it's a 90s FMV game
