this makes the huge quoting of cs lewis especially mindboggling when Miyazawa's Restaurant of Many Orders is Wildcat Cafe beat-for-beat. Guy has written a lot about quotable things about creativity and the artistic process, but maybe this mage isn't very well read afterall

it's kind of a big deal! gaia had some then-unforeseen star power behind it and oohara had already won several SF awards by the time she was tapped to contribute to the scenario

thank you/my condolences for your service

i know we've been over this bad boy for the past week but
out of my own morbid curiosity (and i suspect i know the answer):
-does miyazawai kenji get touched on in the BOF2 section?
-are hagio moto and oohara mariko acknowledged in illusion of gaia?

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

Back in 2018 I wrote an article about "political references added to video game translations"

Then I did it again, a few weeks ago in 2025, so here is PART 2!

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.
vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

Today on Astral City Mini, my hopes for a dream remake of Trails in the Sky are scattered to the winds. How and why did its new localization falter? I’ll tell you.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter – Unsophisticated Fight

Once-in-a-lifetime dream remake (dreamake!) Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter should have been my perfect video game. It wasn't. Here I hope to process that disappointment and let it go. I've gone on record ad nauseam that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was the video game that inspired me to tread my career path. Or maybe it's more accurate to call it the final push over a threshold I'd been approaching all my life.

With just a few hours left on the Steam Autumn Sale, I did one last roundup of indie gems to get cheap before closing time - everything here 50% or less.

Forgive any typos. Brain running on less sleep than usual!

Aah, here's a deep cut sales recommendation - how does King Of Dragon Pass, But You're An Actual Dragon sound?

Golden Treasure is a prose-heavy dragon life sim/RPG. Complex, messy & very replayable. Hunt, hoard, learn magic, commune with nature, and decide what to do wish these weird 'human' things

Save 50% on Golden Treasure: The Great Green on Steam

Golden Treasure is a game for those who carry dragons in their hearts. Hunt, explore, survive, and become Great among the True Children of Sun and Earth.

i really didn't like FFX at the time but playing the remaster about a decade ago (jesus) gave me a newfound appreciation for its simplicity.

X-2 is just too fast for me, even on the slowest setting. I want to like it but I can't parse the battles!

Sorry I didn't have any Steam sale recommendations, but just before it ends, this ASTRO PORT bundle should be worth a look for shmup and mech fans. Big fan of Gigantic Army myself!
