Came back from Japan with a suitcase full of kanji training apps. Currently using the top right premium app as it has IMO the best UX for teaching to write if you didn’t learn in school but curious if anyone here has a favorite DS app for practicing kanji #japanese #kanji #languagelearning

Flying back home after a very fun two weeks. As usual after an event I feel reenergized and exciting about the future of games. I will miss the food but it’s been too long since I’ve seen my wife and my dog.

Can’t believe TGS is nearly over. Had another amazing day of showing Milano and Micro Mages and networking with other indies. Then had an amazing team ramen dinner followed by sick deals at the local book off. Got this kanji game for less than 1/3 what it goes for on eBay.

When I first started in gaming, I was so jealous that my bosses at Namco had business cards in both English and Japanese. Now I have achieved this and am presenting my work at Tokyo Game Show. I feel as though after 20 years finally I’m a real game developer.

Today was so fun! I met my italki sensei in person after more than a year of zoom classes and went for a hike with her and her husband in Arima Onsen. Then I went back to Tokyo and ate some amazing cold crab ramen and also found two kanji games I was looking for at the Akiba Book Off.

Couple fun finds from the Osaka area shops today. I’m very pumped about this Club Nintendo DK stylus since I’ve been mostly using the 3DS to practice kanji lately and it feels like holding a regular pen

It’s very disheartening to hear so many people say “日本語上手” to me when I know my Japanese is still beginner level. On the other hand I guess I choose to believe they say this to foreigners simply as a way to acknowledge that they appreciate the effort to learn and speak their language, even if badly

Greetings from Koshien Stadium, the oldest professional baseball stadium in Japan. I’ve now been to games at three different Japanese stadiums, and this one definitely had the best fans and atmosphere. The stadium has no upper deck so everyone is crammed in like sardines in one huge ring.

It’s a beautiful day in Kyoto! I spent the morning walking around Uji drinking iced tea and buying some souvenirs, then took another visit to the incredible Nintendo Museum. It was so much better the second time! Now I’m back relaxing at Marufukuro before dinner time.

First dinner of the trip was beef offal omakase. This chef was so nice and the food was unbelievable. I love seeing what people can do with cuts that most chefs would never touch.

I was actually planning to wait until lunch to get ramen, but after getting coffee I was walking through Tsukiji and couldn’t resist this delicious looking seafood ramen shop. I got the mazesoba with sauce made from their special Hiroshima oyster soup. Now I’m off to Kyoto for a couple days!

Really proud of this little project I just finished. I hacked the ROM for Vs. Gradius so that when the cabinet is set to free play, it shows the attract mode rather than simply sitting on a static screen as all Vs. System games do.
In addition to reducing burn-in, it makes the cabinet look sweet!

One of the things I’ve been up to for the past couple months. Very excited to finally be able to talk about it. This game has such beautiful pixel art and I really hope people love it when they can finally play in English! We are working hard to make these classics available to everyone!
