The third anniversary of popular booty shooter Goddess of Victory: Nikke is finally here! While I started playing a few months after its release in November 2022, I was very conscious of the game’s existence around the time of its launch. This … Continue reading →

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Stellar Blade as much as I did. Last November, Shaun, a YouTuber who I’ve been following a very long time released a video called: Stellar Blade: The Fake Outrage. I’m re-watching is as I write this post, but it was mainly about how Mark Kern (it’s really hard to describe who he is in one sentence so here’s a video) created a fake bogey-man and owned “wokeness” by praising the developer of Stellar Blade, Shift Up, for giving their main protagonist a lot of sex appeal.

I’m glad the events last the entire month, though! Since I’m working on a visual novel, I’m interested in learning what I can about storytelling from games I already like to play.

Around 15 years ago, when I was still in high school, I stumbled upon fan art of a character named Sansei Muramasa (see below) when I was browsing newly uploaded illustrations on Pixiv. There was a lot about the character … Continue reading →
