oh and Toyama from Taito announced the next ACA Taito game, out April 9: the 1980 fixed-screen submarine shooter Polaris, which is virtually unknown in Japan
Ah the drunk madman confirms Sol Cresta 2
tonight's Hamster stream has been periodically checking in with folk at Exbar Tokyo Plus, and a clearly-drunk Horii from M2 got on mic and promised some sort of Terra Cresta project—could be a comp, could be a Rebirth; could be out this yr, could be out a decade from now; believe nobody, trust noone
another interview with Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's Ryosuke Horii & Yutaka Ito on the Yakuza series' history of games-within-games: the process of implemting them, hurdles in reproduction, etc https://automaton-media.com/articles/interviewsjp/ryu-20260311-428339/ 🇯🇵
might as well run it down (thread)
reminder for anyone who doesn't want to wait, or is worried that Granzella might implode between now and the informal June ETA for the intl versions: R-Type Tactics 1+2 Cosmos launched on consoles in Japan today, with a full multi-language loc

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry has opened applications for "IP360", a subsidy program for both unincorporated & incorporated indie creatives incl. game devs, covering pre-pro, production &/or post-pro with provisions for outsourced assets, overseas business meetings, intl locs etc 🇯🇵
(Yes I need to dust)
New ship R-90 RAGNAROK. Gorgeous. But now I'm out of room >>;;
Cave without context, vol.65535
Anyone know off-hand if R-Type Tactics is going to offer an upgrade patch on Switch 2 for people who buy the Switch 1 cart? Thinking of picking it up tomorrow to show some support to Granzella during a time of clear duress for them, but can't find any definitive info. 🤔 (cc @allcityslopshop.com)
happy mario day
women at GDC being asked “do you work in games?” is such a stupid question. most people i know work in an office or from home
reminder: their last game came out like three weeks ago (and alongside another doujin STG with its own solo-2P functionality, as it happens)
Terarin really does not fuck around: they've opened a Steam page for Raging Blasters 2, ETA 2027 on Switch & PC https://store.steampowered.com/app/4500530/Raging_Blasters_2/ this sequel adds a larger emphasis on the co-op functionality, including "pseudo-2P" systems for solo players
The point has come up that preservation has good return on investment (re-releases, promotional opportunities, etc), which sometimes is what you need to persuade management (for better or worse) #GDC2026
Some concerns being voiced about how to get internal buy-in from publishers to preserve materials, rather than just moving onto the next project. Obviously everyone in the room cares, but how do you get management to value it? #GDC2026
A large roundtable room.
Game preservation roundtable. I want to know what the game dev community thinks is important about these issues, so I'll mostly be listening (unless I really really need to say something) #GDC2026
This is amazing.
When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.
That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.
porn addiction isn't real. science agrees with me.
this is puritanical shame, often combined with people who struggle with dopamine release finally finding something that helps.
Fair but have you considered: "She bad tho"
when confronted with a giant maid, a sight that would have most of you barking and hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, mario is a cool operator and dispatches the threat quickly. this is what makes him a professional
Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's Ryosuke Horii & Yutaka Ito talk Yakuza 3 Kiwami's Game Gear games, NAOMI & other vintage game-specific topics https://automaton-media.com/articles/interviewsjp/ryu3-20260309-427576/ 🇯🇵
