FLY --IntoTheForest--

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

...Rune Factory is 20 years old?

Twewy’s story is so incredibly anti-suicide without the topic ever being mentioned explicitly. It’s a story about a bunch of dead kids who had the most important things in their lives taken from them, who have to choose whether to return to life or ascend beyond it. The city itself is suicidal. The city is you, and the city is Joshua, and the city tries to kill you, but it can’t let go of you, and you live another week.

I said I'd do another character and I ended up going with Emo! You can probably tell why this took me so long. She's really pretty but also really hard to draw.

Also found this beautiful Gen Kobayashi art of Joshua and Beat as Partners… this is everything

Had the all Incompasing and sudden urge to draw Xion from Kingdom Hearts

I love writing Coco with Composers she pretty much universally hates. I have so much fun writing her and Joshua as Worsties who hate each other but by nature of their positions and Neku will never really escape each other. It's great. Even when they're TRYING to get along, their personalities are just inherently abrasive to each other. (By contrast, Beat and Coco hate each other in a normal "spend as little time in their presence as possible" way, primarily on Beat's part but Coco doesn't think much of him, and Shiki conceptually dislikes Coco as the person who killed Neku a second time and stole Mr. Mew, but in practice just never thinks about her. Ever. She's not worth that brain space.) She's my preferred pick for post-Neo Conductor just because it's so much fun to force her and Joshua to interact and hate every second of it.

But it turns out, you know what's also fun? Taking a Hazuki in the middle of a breakdown and having Coco just utterly hate him, too!

And thus, Coco has yet to meet a Composer she wouldn't punt into the sun.

once again feeling kinda blown away by how much stuff there is in Rune Factory 4 and not just in terms of story or characters I mean things like the random miniboss demon that spawns on an otherwise completely unremarkable bridge in the middle of nowhere and only during thunderstorms

Creators (director, writer and programmer) of Rune Factory 3 and 4 are currently running a Kickstarter for a new farming game!

It's called Farnia Village and looking at the videos they show of the gameplay it does give me super strong Rune Factory 3/4 vibes!

Congratulations, Shiki and Rindo for being the characters I draw consistently for their birthday

*the most misanthropic wretch you ever did see*: pink is the color of love and a humanitarian like me loves people 💗

the fact that i can never play twewy blind kinda feels like something was stolen from me 💔

[kibibarel]

i'm replaying NEO TWEWY and the second Susukichi showed up and said YOOOOOOOO in his beautiful angelic voice i was smiling so wide irl...genuinely felt like seeing an old friend again after years apart

kh may be a linear and interconnected story with an objectively right order (or at least a narrow selection of possible best orders) but that doesn’t mean the correct way to get into it isn’t just to pick up anything that piques your interest, just like any long running series. jump in at random. be confused and embrace the confusion. go back later if you want answers. pick what you like. that’s the most authentic way to experience media and i respect that tradition immensely
