Square Enix's Paranormasight may just seem like another random release by the Final Fantasy company but the title actually marks the return of a veteran to the ADV genre named Takanari Ishiyama. His career is totally unknown in the West so I thought I'd make a thread about him.🧵

Oh wow, Masahiro Sakurai talked about visiting Computer Land Tachikawa, Falcom's old computer shop, during his childhood in his latest video. I posted some pictures of the store a few months ago. youtube.com/watch?v=mDVaOy…

My entire game design education was about appeasing the second player instead of making interesting experiences for the first one

Reading some takes on the recent "JRPG" discourse, I wanted to talk a bit about about "Western RPG x Japanese RPG" history. Mainly about how they evolved, each going thought many crises, "influence gaps" and learning from the other. It will be long, and take a while...🧵

From what I have personally read, this is how I would chart the evolution of development teams at Square working on Final Fantasy games. This should give you an idea of how things came to be and which FF game evolved from.

@iamjosephumi Most of my info came from Jon Peterson's Playing at the World blog. I find some of his writing a bit dry, but he seems very interested in tracing the development of D&D (and roleplaying in general) via primary sources. playingattheworld.blogspot.com

Just a reminder that Gary Gygax didn't write D&D; he compiled, curated, and crowdsourced an edition of a dungeon game that was being played by hundreds of people across the Midwestern US and beyond.

@05lifecut the job of every generation of japanese learners is to find absolutely any untranslated game nobody's ever heard about and try their hardest to gaslight people who can't read it into thinking it's peak fiction for the next 10 years

I've made the first of my #cog2020 talks live on YouTube. In it, I talk about what 'information games' are, why I think they're ripe for combining with procedural generation, and how I tried to do this in my 2018 and 2019 #procjam entries. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=t0GOdW…

@ThePixelHunt @Playdead Both Arnt Jensen (game designer of INSIDE) and Charlie Kaufman (screenwriter of Adaptation) used the same process when facing the pressure of having to provide a follow-up to an astonishing critical success : for the former "Limbo", for the latter "Being John Malkovich".
