Thanks! Haha, it’s a little embarrassing to hear that — but life’s funny, isn’t it?

- At 47, you became a father.

And one day, your game was referenced inside DELTARUNE.
Life hasn’t been easy, but you’re a lucky one—and it only gets more interesting from here.

To my 40-year-old self:
You probably thought life would just wither away from here, but…

- At 44, you married one of your café customers.
- You discovered 16,000 precious photos taken by your grandfather.
- At 45, you released your own game and people loved it.

Thanks! I’ve always been stuck in the 80s and 90s when it comes to games.
My head’s just full of old ideas, so I naturally think of simple ones like this.
I love exploring how far those primitive kinds of play can go.

I’m truly honored to hear you say that! But to be honest, I don’t really have the ability to create grand stories or large-scale systems. What I do is simply keep building small, sandbox-like worlds of my own.

It’s such a joy when someone says, “I like that too!” about something I love. And if it’s about something I created myself, it makes me even happier.

Raindrop Sprinters is quite genius. Managing to include such skill-based gameplay with th only 2-3 buttons, and within a single screen. It makes me jealous, as a designer, it really does.

Raindrop Sprinters is an indie arcade game and it's half off. The dev spent a lot of time on this and wanted it to be a success, so please help them out.

You are a cat. You avoid the rain and get the stars by sprinting out into the rain.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! I really wish there were more classic-style games like this out there.

I am so addicted to Raindrop Sprinters. If you like the arcade-like games in UFO 50, it'll hit just the spot.

I’m truly honored that you even complimented the audio! I’m actually an old friend of moppin (Ojiro Fumoto), and I always dreamed of creating my own games just like he did.

Shuhei Miyazawa / room_909 @909works.net · 22d

My game may look classic, but I designed it so people of all ages can enjoy it. That’s why I’m really happy to hear this!

Shuhei Miyazawa / room_909 @909works.net · 22d

I just got a video of my friend’s daughter, almost 3 years old, playing #RaindropSprinters. Moments like this really warm my heart. I wonder if my own daughter will play it someday too.

Eirik Suhrke, the composer of Spelunky and Downwell, praised my game! I’m so happy, I used to dive deep into the well in Downwell while listening to your music.

I’m so happy—another game creator from overseas visited my café today! Moments like this make me feel it was truly worth working hard on my games.

Thank you to @909works.net for a wonderful day at his cafe Salon. So many wonderful gifts, and amazing food! And the cafe is so pretty, I was so impressed.

本当にありがとうございました🍻

And thank you for introducing me to Amaya-san! What a wonderful surprise! (I was a little starstruck)

When playing with my 10-month-old daughter, I keep a few “game rules” in mind:

- Do things in sets of 4 (like lifting her 4 times)
- Always add sound effects
- Mix in rhythm changes and feints
- Laugh out loud together

She’s starting to sense what’s coming and laughs before it happens.
