This also means I am now the primary deals/commerce editor at GameSpot. Since Steven's departure was a sudden and unexpected, I am in the slow process of finding and reaching out to his contacts at various companies we worked with. If you'd like to get in touch, my email is bhesse(at)gamespot.com

Hot Take : Vanillaware still wants to maintain the allure of console gaming (when all others are going digital), collecting physical discs/cartridges that have value.
Releasing games on PC would dilute their value and allure.

Will someone just tell George Kamitani that releasing the entire Vanillaware catalog on Steam will cause his company to become financially solvent enough to produce the next three Vanillaware games?
Okay, two-point-two-five Vanillaware games. I know his spending habits.

A 1986 Japanese guide on how to program using the Family BASIC software for the Famicom features many cute illustrations of Mario and Pauline (known as "Lady" in Japan at the time).

Loved Pragmata demo, meaningful innovation while also feeling refreshingly game-y.
Have to commend art team, the art shines even on lowest PC settings. Animations are GREAT. Sounds/music were lovely.
Balance is way easier, but I don't mind it too much here.

Took 9 months, but I finally finished @superbunnyhop.bsky.social Kriegsspiel video. What an absolute marvel - weaving history, philosophy of people, leading to DnD.
This WILL be featured in my "best videos 2025" post.

One of core experiences of FF - "menuing" - is not discussed enough.
Almost every FF menus (on original consoles) ran at 60 fps; so SATISFYING to order out a chain of command at lightening speed.

Did you know that there is a horror RPG inspired by Vampire The Masquarade: Bloodlines and set in India?
It looks extremely dope! There are endless stories from Indian Folklore ripe for interesting videogames and I can't wait to see more.

Not at all reuse assets. But I loved how God Of War PS2-PSP games carried the same look, structure and gameplay style.
