Tencent considering offloading Marvelous and some other gaming companies

News publication Bloomberg is reporting today that Tencent is considering to ditch its long-term investments in some of its video game compa

Eta:

If you’re wondering if this is going to kill off Marvelous — no. It is not. However, having the big Chinese conglomerate mark your studio as an Underperformer to the point of pulling out of multimillion dollar investments? Not great! In a publicly traded, corporate profits-driven business world, this is a bit of a Big Deal.

What this currently means: Story of Seasons and Rune Factory get further scrutiny for their respective anniversaries. Their other development arms (arcade, animation, etc.) will also be investigated for performance. We will likely see more cuts to curb spending.

And ICYMI: The whole reason this is happening is because of AI, profiteering from the free works of others, and the live service model approach.

Illustration for a Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Zine

As a kid I played this so much and the vibes have forever embedded themselves in my soul even though I never figured out how planting worked and survived on fish, mushrooms, and milk.

Trying to capture the hazy winter color palette of the game was a fun challenge!

ok my love of GoA aside i hope Marvelous doesn't look at its success and insist Hakama try to copy paste it onto RF6

GoA is great but it is a spin-off game, it's very different from mainline Rune Factory in ways I don't think would necessarily work in a mainline title

like the relative lack of farming - it's cool to have a more streamlined experience but Rune Factory games are farming sims and that's not just a big part of the gameplay but also the world and story. caring for the earth and growing food for people is framed as something both humble and special, which is part of what makes eartmates such a big deal

that's not to say there are no lessons to be learned from GoA (e.g. i much prefer the furniture placement mechanic) just that it's a very different game

slight redesign of the villagers in roots of pacha

they're mostly the same except some outfits simplification, more body types, details like freckles added, and hair colors and styles changes when characters were too similar. some of them had body paints that were ignored not from me thinking it's uncool but cause i colored them all the same day and was tired lol

do not erase the caption, use or rePOST my art (reblog ok)

[gus-dix]

second part of the roots of pacha redesigns, this time with the love interests

voda is in first part cause she hadn't been added to the romanceable lot yet when i drew this and jag is absent cause... i forgot him rip king. i'll prob redo krak cause not satisfied (to be fair he's got the worst design in game so i truly didn't know what to do with him)
