AFK Arena plays host to The Witcher cast, featuring Geralt and Yennefer

AFK Arena is collaborating with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, bringing in Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg to the popular idle-RPG. Doug Cockle is likewise reprising his role of Geralt for voice-acted lines as part of the collaboration.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt IP! Many of our production team staff, including myself, are big fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. For this collaboration, we’ve designed gameplay inspired by the wondrous world of The Witcher, and all of the content is exclusive to AFK Arena. We’re so looking forward to releasing the crossover to our players!”

Don, AFK Arena Developer
Geralt and Yennefer each bring their own fighting styles as adapted from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to AFK Arena. Geralt, a fierce warrior, utilizes a mix of sword-based melee combat and alchemy, while Yennefer, a powerful magic caster, focuses primarily on arcane spells that target groups of enemies. The duo are certainly more than capable of tackling the evils of Esperia, alongside other notable collaboration characters including Joker and Queen from Persona 5, Ezio Auditore from the Assassin’s Creed series, and Overlord’s Ainz Ooal Gown and Albedo.

OddBallers Review – Extreme Dodgeball Makes For a Simple But Fun Party Game

Do you know what game I always loved as a kid, dodgeball? I never cared much for sports in general but there was something always fun about an uncomplicated game of hitting another kid in the face (we didn’t have a below-belt rule on the playground). Ubisoft and Game Swing seem to think the same as they’ve come out with OddBallers, a new sports party game inspired by dodgeball.

Oddballers is a straightforward yet well-crafted game of fantasy dodgeball with different rules, arenas, and projectile weapons to keep everything fresh. Its online is unfortunately quite barren, but it makes for it with great local multiplayer that allows for some healthy competition between friends.

Selecting A Game Mode

After making a deliciously beautiful avatar in the character creator (the bath towel was very necessary), you can hop into a game with either four players or six players in either an online or local course of matches. We should note that the game does include crossplay so you can get together with friends who have the game on other consoles to smash them in the face as well.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Not that this really helps as even after launch it’s pretty difficult to match with any other players. Crossplay or no crossplay, four or six players, no one seems to be up for a game. You can of course play with AI characters but it’s really the same as challenging real people. I only managed to pair with another person once in four-player mode once in my entire playthrough.
Getting Into The Game
When in a match, OddBallers is an expansion on the basic ideas of dodgeball: you enter an arena filled with balls and other items and you proceed to throw, dodge, and sprint until all your opponents are knocked out. There are various stadium designs in the game that can be played, either in groups or individually (you can also hurt your own teammates, further increasing the chaos), giving a good range of different maps to keep games fresh.

The different levels also have different rules that are implemented into the game. For example, one game’s rule could be ‘Last One Standing’ where you need to be the only player left. Another could be ‘Clean Sheep’, a team-based game where there is a sheep in the level and one person on each team will be tasked with shearing them but there’s only one pair of shears. Their teammates will have to distract and steal the shears and the first team to get 100% will be the winner.
One course of the game can last for a while overall but the different maps and rules keep things feeling fresh. Even if you’re eliminated, the game still gives you the opportunity to participate as you can still be a disturbance in the round, you’ll get random stuff outside the fight area like poisonous gas or a crate full of bees, and use them to attack those that are still in the ring. It’s a good idea to keep people active and add to the hectic nature of the matches.
Controllers and Performance

The controls are very straightforward. You move with the analog and pick and throw items with either the face or shoulder buttons. It is something that anyone can understand which is important for a party game like this as it means friends and family that aren’t as familiar with gaming can quickly get into it.
In terms of graphics and performance that game is mostly fine however, there are a couple of bug issues. The game tends to stutter a little when switching between menus and more notably there was a game-ending glitch during one of my matches. One of the enemies AI got stuck running in place and when we tried to hit him, he was invulnerable to all attacks. Eventually, we had to let the opposing team win just to move on. These are pretty minor problems overall but they’re worth taking note of.
Getting New Costumes

After you win, you’ll get EXP, an unlockable outfit, and in-game currency to buy new outfits or dance moves in-game. These can be obtained at the item shop which will shuffle new costumes every few hours.
You’ve probably noticed but the characters in this game are pretty expressive with their large chunky bodies and wild faces. It adds a lot to the charm of the game, making the tone feel all the more zany.
The Waiting Area Is Surprisingly Cool

This might be a little random to bring up, but one surprisingly cool place in the game was actually the waiting area. This is where you go while waiting for matches, but there’s a surprising amount of stuff you can do. You can change costumes, spawn or remove AI there as well as change the difficulty of said AI. On the right is the ‘invite friend’ area, where you can invite your friends. If your friend is new, there is also a television area, which will show you the tutorial if you can’t remember what to press, and want to memorize it when waiting for the other players to prepare.
In the middle of the waiting area is a bed of carrots, which you can pull out and throw to other players, just like what you need to do in the game. For interaction, you can also throw the carrot into the recycling machine in the bottom left, it’ll give you items that will also appear in the match, sometimes fish (to smack players), and sometimes a gas tank that will explode.
I know this seems like a weird thing to fixate on but I legit appreciate the amount of effort that went into making this waiting area. It’s interactive and fun, not to mention keeps you occupied while waiting for matches to boot up. Sometimes all you need is to pull out a random carrot and pick a fight with someone to have a little fun.
Verdict

Oddballers is a fun little party that will likely keep you and anyone you playing with entertained for a fun night. The lack of players online is an issue that could prevent people from enjoying the game to the fullest, however, I do feel it’s a game made more for in-person couch multiplayer like the arcade games from back in the day that it is clearly trying to emulate. Perhaps being on the portable Switch with its multiple joycons can help in that regard.
In terms of gameplay, it’s good simple fun, especially with the different rules and arenas that you’re thrown in. Some may say it’s a little too simple with only a couple of modes and unlocking new costumes but for $20 it’s a fun little game of extreme dodgeball that will easily keep you entertained.

Type Moon’s Mahoutsukai no Yoru Will Have English and Chinese Language Support on Switch and PS4

Update – 04/07/22: Mahoutsukai no Yoru or ‘Witch On The Holy Night’ has received its first English language trailer and has more or less been confirmed to be getting an official localization.

The upcoming Switch and PS4 versions of Type Moon’s visual novel Mahoutsukai no Yoru also known as Witch on The Holy Night are confirmed to feature English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language options in addition to the normal Japanese text.

This was announced alongside the news that the game will be released in Japan in December of 2022. A new key visual for the game has also been revealed:

Mahoutsukai no Yoru was originally released for PC in 2012. These enhanced ports will come with HD visuals and full voice acting.
Here are the voice cast that have been revealed so far:

Aoko Aozaki: Haruka Tomatsu
Alice Kuonji: Kana Hanazawa
Soujuurou Shizuki: Yuusuke Kobayashi
Kojika Kumari: Chika Anzai
Tobimaru Tsukiji: Toshinari Fukamachi
Housuke Kinomi: Shohei Kajikawa

The fact that Mahoutsukai no Yoru is getting English language support is significant as it will be the first pure visual novel by Type-Moon and Kinoko Nasu to get an official release in a non-Japanese language.
Nasu has previously stated that he would be interested in bringing English and Chinese language support to Tsukihime – A Piece of Blue Glass Moon but that it would be very difficult due to how text-heavy the novel is.
The fact that this latest title will be getting different language versions bodes well for Type Moon’s other visual novels. Perhaps we could even get the Tsukihime Remake officially translated into English sometime down the line.
Mahoutsukai no Yoru will be released in Japan in December of 2022. There is no confirmation of an international release but if the game features English and Chinese language support then speakers of these languages will be able to import that game and play it as both the Switch and PS4 are region-free consoles.
The visual novel will also be getting a movie adaptation in 2023, being done by Studio Ufotable who had previously worked with Type-Moon for the anime adaptations of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night.

Acer Unveils SigridWave and Planet9

One of the weirder announcements from the [email protected] 2020 Livestream, we got a look at a new translation AI called SigridWave. Acer also announced Planet9, their new community platform for eSports.

The program is an in-game live translation service, targeted at breaking language barriers. It’s key feature is the built-in jargon, however. Rather than simply translating words 1:1, it aims to translate context-sensitive phrases to their language equivalents.
One of the examples given was the use of the word “camper”, which may not be its exact translation in other languages when referring to people who hide out in video games.
Follow us on Twitter

It does this by using an AI that’s been trained in 10 million bilingual sentence pairs, as well as having Automatic Speech Recognition and Neural Machine Translation.
According to Acer, the AI has been trained with over 1000 hours of game-centric speech and transcripts, allowing it to translate messages with extreme accuracy.
Sigridwave will have a closed beta some time in “Q4 of 2020”, though Acer hasn’t given any further details regarding the service.

It Came From Planet9
This is all to facilitate Planet9, Acer’s online eSports community. According to Acer, Planet9 will allow gamers to connect with each other, improve their skills as well as organize games with each other.
It does this primarily through the Teams feature, which will allow players to organize themselves into teams. They will get access to features such as a shared calendar, as well as tabs to keep track of team funding.
Additionally, Planet9 will have a Clubs feature. Clubs are targeted at more community-centric players, who want to be able to follow groups based on topics they enjoy. Unlike many social media groups Clubs will have a public facing side, as well as a private “lounge” for members exclusively.
Finally, Planet9 will have tools to allow players to set up their own tournaments. This includes tools to make forming brackets as easy as possible, so even those of us with an aversion to tedium can start our own tournaments.

An interview with the producers of SEGA Pocket Club Manager for more info on J-League mode

SEGA has introduced the new J-League mode to SEGA Pocket Club Manager recently to offer a new challenge to both new and veteran players. We did an interview with the producers of SEGA Pocket Club Manager, Nobuchika Miyazaki and Riichiro Yamada to talk about the football RPG. Read below for more details on the game and the new mode!

Left – Nobuchika Miyazaki (Producer), Right – Riichiro Yamada (Chief Producer)

Pocket Club Manager powered by Football Manager allows players to own and manage a Football club. As you progress from local professional clubs to national teams, you can enjoy various events such as “story of each football players”, “acquiring first-class director” and “become national team’s manager”. The game focuses more on club management with scenarios instead of simulation aspects, and this is why it is categorised into the RPG genre for the global market.

The modes available in the game now are Road to World (main game mode), J League mode, World Tour, SWCC (PvP tournament) and limited time events. You can enjoy these modes alone, or train your club to participate in the PvP tournament. According to the producers, many overseas players are joining the SWCC too and it is growing globally. They hope Malaysia players would participate to compete against players around the world as well.
As you might not know, the game comes with an interesting Footie Face feature where you can create players using a photo of yourself or others. There are no limits on the number of unique players you can create, but their positions are randomly selected at the time of creation. Sometimes you may even create funny face players with high rarity! The feature could help improve relationships so you should enjoy it with your friends and family.

Examples of Footie Face feature
From December 13, players can enjoy the new J. League mode in Pocket Club Manager. It is an independent club management mode different from Road to World mode. It is also a mode that many fans asked for, as the game has the roots in “SakaTsuku” series (console) and has evolved alongside with the evolvement of the J. League.
Starting your journey from J3 division in the J. League, your aim is to become the champion in the J1 division. You will be able to transfer (rent) your teammates from the Road to World as a player in your J. League team. You can also acquire unique players enlisted in J. League (including the SEA players) and balance them out using the club funds you have. Some popular Europe players will be available to collect as well, which you can then use them at the Road to World mode.

Gladfully, those who are new to the game can also enjoy the new J. League mode. The starting conditions are the same for all players and as your club will gradually grow, it is not necessary to transfer all your strong players to your J. League team. However you will still need to progress the game to a certain stage to unlock the mode.
J. League is separated into a few division, where you will move up or down depending on your seasonal ranking. The top 2 teams will be promoted to the upper division, while the bottom 2 teams will be demoted to the lower division when a season ends.

A Final Goodbye To The Nintendo 3DS: One of Nintendo’s Best Consoles

On the 27th of March 2023, the Nintendo 3DS eShop will be shutting down, signaling the true end of the console’s life, (not to mention several of its best games skyrocketing in price).

The 3DS was a unique console. What was at first written off as a gimmicky attempt to do 3D gaming without glasses ended up being one of the most successful consoles of the 8th generation pretty much carrying Nintendo through the poor sales of the Wii U?

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Today let’s go down memory lane and take a look at the Nintendo 3DS, how it started, some of its best games, and how it would play a part in the success of the Switch and the future of many popular franchises.
The Launch of The Nintendo 3DS

I still remember the first announcement of the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo was soaring high at E3 2010 with the announcement of several big Wii titles but ended their press conference with an onslaught of news about their new handheld.

The 3DS made a good impression, it looked sleek and modern with a metallic blue shell, a new analog circle pad, and a slew of impressive games. The big showing was Masahiro Sakurai’s reboot of Kid Icarus, but there was also a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (OOT) Remake, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and even Metal Gear Solid 3 all coming to this device. The 3DS came out swinging and its future looked bright.
Opening up the original model 3DS offered something that felt so much more advanced than the DS. The buttons were far more clicky than the DS’ mushier controls and I really enjoyed its’ smaller touches. The 240p 3D pictures and AR mini-games don’t seem like much now, but back then they were a cute novelty that was fun to fool around with.
There was also the addictive fun that was Street Pass. If your 3DS passed another 3DS on the street, it would record the other user. Seeing people’s different miis and what they were playing on their consoles was always cool. You could also use their miis in an assortment of fun mini-games in the Mii Plaza. These were simple games like completing puzzles or a simple RPG but I was taking my 3DS out everywhere to finish these. They were that fun and really encourage using the system more.
The Lukewarm Launch

Unfortunately, in terms of full-priced games, Nintendo had a bad case of “announce now, finish later” back in the day. Almost none of those cool games at E3 would launch in the system’s first year. In fact, the 3DS had a pretty poor first year altogether when it was first released in the spring of 2011.
The console had a poor launch lineup with the highlight being Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, an impressive port of the fighting game but outside of that, well, hope you like Pilotwings.
The next few months would give fans a few solid titles like Zelda OOT 3D, and Star Fox 64 3D but it was still scarce month by month. It also didn’t help that Sony had announced their own new handheld console, the PS Vita which was far more powerful than the 3DS and was launching at the same price of $250 USD.
Image Source: Nintendo
Thankfully, the 3DS able to turn it around by winter. They cut the console’s price to $170 USD and released two staple pillars of any Nintendo console: a new Mario game in Super Mario 3D Land and a new Mario Kart. Sales shot up and it was mostly smooth sailing from there. Today the 3DS has sold over 75 million units worldwide making it the second best-selling console of the 8th Generation after the PS4.
Biggest Games
The Nintendo 3DS followed in the DS’ footsteps with a large diverse range of games. We can’t speak about all of them but here are a few that are worth mentioning. Of course, it had all of the Nintendo staples like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and bringing Metroid back out of hiatus but I feel you’d expect a Nintendo console to have high-quality games from their classic IPs. Here, I want to speak more on the game that truly stood out and made an impact on 3DS.
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Image Source: Nintendo
Animal Crossing New Leaf to this day is considered the best game in the series. Firstly it’s the game that introduced Isabelle and everyone loves Isabelle.
Aside from that, not only did it bring near console-level graphics to a portable console but it was so customizable. Being the town mayor lets you open up new shops and landmarks, truly letting you make the town of your dreams. Or if you’re like me, you’ll spend all your time catching fish and bugs for the museum on that new island you can unlock with plenty of exclusive items to find.
Pokemon
Image Source: Nintendo
I see a lot of people nowadays say Gen 6 on the 3DS was where Pokemon started to go downhill. While I do have my own grievances with this era, we shouldn’t overlook just how much it brought to the table. I remember people were so hyped to see Pokemon in 3D with X&Y and were really excited by the introduction of mega evolutions, giving fan-favorite monsters cool new designs (and making Charizard usable in competitive battles).
These were followed by Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire which, in my opinion, are two of the best games in the franchise. They masterfully brought Gen 3 into the modern era with brand-new character designs and modern quality-of-life features. Also, gen 6 probably had the best online system in the series. It was so easy to just hop in and trade with friends within seconds.
Fire Emblem
Image Source: Nintendo
The 3DS is also responsible for turning Fire Emblem from a niche series to one of Nintendo’s major franchises. While veterans made fun of Fire Emblem Awakening’s easier difficulty, lighter story, and waifu-focused pairing system, no one can deny that its high sales number brought in tons of new players.
If you do want a more traditional FE game, the 3DS also had Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, a remake of the second Fire Emblem game with a darker story and updated battle system that combines strategic battles with dungeon crawling.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Image Source: Capcom
Monster Hunter is one of Capcom’s biggest franchises worldwide but before World and Rise, the series found a home on the 3DS with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The game brought more verticality to the series, allowing you to perform jump attacks and mount onto the backs of the various beasts.
It was a smash hit thanks to the 3DS’ portability which allowed for quick in-and-out Rathalos battles and both online and local co-op play. In Japan’s ravenous market for Monster Hunter, it has been a monstrous success to the point that when World was announced, there were actually people who complained that it wasn’t portable after how good 4 Ultimate was.
Bravely Default
Image Source: Square Enix
Of course, we can’t forget the cavalcade of JRPGs on the 3DS. I’ve already mentioned Fire Emblem and Pokemon but the large variety of roleplaying experiences extends well beyond them. Atlus and Level-5 loved the system and showered it in Shin Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, and Yokai Watch.
The most notable RPG would have to be the Bravely Default duology from Square Enix. These were basically classic Final Fantasy games in everything but name, bringing back the traditional turn-based combat but with a modern twist with the brave and default system and highly customizable job system. This refreshing new take on classic ideas also extends to the story, seeing the Tale of Four Heroes of light retold with a more in-depth story with a fun main cast.
Apparently, Square Enix was surprised by how successful Bravely Default 1 was in international markets. They didn’t think overseas players would be interested in playing a more traditional turn-based JRPG. It’s arguably thanks to this title that we’re getting games like Octopath Traveler and the Live A Live Remake, continuing to evolve and innovate with the sub-genre to this day.
And Many More
Image Source: Bandai Namco
There are plenty of other games I could mention that made the 3DS a worthwhile system. It gave us a fully portable Resident Evil game, charming smaller titles like Rhythm Thief, and even had some decent fighting games for a handheld with Super Smash Bros and Dead or Alive Dimensions. It even had four Pheonix Wright games, a crossover between Pheonix Wright and Professor Layton, and then a crossover where Pheonix Wright teamed up with Heihaci Mishima to fight Segata Sanshiro.
The Nintendo 3DS

I think the biggest statement of quality I can give to the Nintendo 3DS is that I haven’t even spoken about the 3D yet. That was the gimmick it was sold on, the glasses-free 3D that would be the system’s namesake. The reason for this is mainly because the 3D wasn’t that interesting. Most people I knew turned it on, thought it was cool then instantly turned it off again so it didn’t get in the way of gaming.
The thing is though, the 3DS really didn’t need the 3D. It may have been the feature used to lure casual gamers into trying the system but most people stayed for the same reason people stick with any good consoles: it had really good games. The Nintendo 3DS was able to pack so many good titles into its seven or so years on the market, from platformers to RPGs, to visual novels to even a few shooters. It helped make franchises like Fire Emblem, SMT, Monster Hunter, and Animal Crossing into the big names they are today, and its legacy lives on through the Switch where many of these IPs have received successful new sequels.
The eShop may be closing down but I know I’m still going to be playing on the 3DS long after it’s gone. The quality of the system just leaps off the screen.

De:Lithe now available for smartphones

Japan-based game developer enish has finally launched De: Lithe, its latest RPG game for Android and iOS devices. The game was originally supposed to launch in fall 2019, but its makers decided to delay the launch date after receiving the feedback accumulated from the closed beta test. As Shigeru Miyamoto once said, A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad, so props to the team for taking the time to address the problems, whatever they could have been.

De:Lithe tells a tale as old as time, in which humans are fighting against the gods. Players assume the role of being a member of the royal knights in a last stand representing mankind against omnipotent beings. Key highlights of the game include its strong single-player content and support for real-time team combat.

As the game achieved its pre-registration target of 300,000 users, all players will be showered with a bunch of rewards, gacha tickets and in-game equipment, which should grant you a good head start. The game definitely looks very polished for a mobile game, and the battle system looks to have some thought put into it to make it as engaging as possible for fans of the genre. It also has very nice aesthetics, balancing between the more traditional anime artstyle with some contemporary design choices. Of course, it does not hurt to have a large cast of familiar seiyuu as well to give it a boost. With the many games of its ilk on the market right now, any point of differentiation would go a long way for it.

The games will be delisted from the App Store and Google Play Store on December 1st and players will not be able to access the games as of January 4th, 2023. In-app purchases have also been suspended however players can still use any in-game currency they already have. If the said currency goes unused before the game is taken down, it will not be refunded.
The reason for these games being shut down is likely because Studio Onoma itself is being shut down. Earlier this year, the studio, then known as Square Enix Montreal was bought by Embracer group along with Square Enix’s other western studios and IPs. Last month it was announced the studio will be shutting down and staff will be transferred to Eidos Montreal.

There are over 50 heroes to collect from and each of them can be upgraded to unlock their abilities further. Over 200 unique abilities are in the game so you can mix and match your team of 4 heroes to bring them on your adventure. While you are on idle, your team will continue to march into combat, slaying monsters and earn exp, loots and gold which will definitely help you upgrade your heroes.

Like I said earlier, the game is simple yet it has graphics that look really great for a mobile game. The game is optimized for mobile and is even available on Steam. Mechanics are easy to learn and any new player can start playing this game with easy to understand tutorials at the beginning. So if you are a lazy player like me (sometimes, I need a break), this game is definitely for you! I’ve enjoyed playing Clicker Heroes for awhile and this will be another game that I will pick up (gosh so many games, so little time *cries).

Staying true to the lore of the series, Azur Lane commanders will not be able to marry the event characters from The Idolmaster collab. The collaboration goes live tomorrow, July 22, 2021 and will run for 2 weeks until August 5, 2021.

Check out the PV for the event here:

Mami Futami (Elite Submarine)

As per most of events, players can also expect different skins to be available for these characters. The new skins for the idols are festival yukatas. In addition, there will also be The Idolmaster-themed furniture for players’ dorm rooms.
However, unlike other shipgirls, the event characters are unable to be oathed. Instead of Oath Rings, players will be able to give the idols Pledge Rings and Tiaras. There will not be a wedding as a result, but the characters will receive the Unity relationship status instead of Oath. Unity still provides the same stat bonuses as Oaths, so gameplay-wise it is still identical.
We initially thought that the idols will be able to get married, but this new change highlighted above should let The Idolmaster fans breathe a sigh of relief.

DNF Duel Finally Gets A Training Mode

So what’s all the hype about a training mode? The absence of DNF Duel’s lab has been a huge part of the criticism leveled against the game during its two open betas.
For more competitive players, a good training mode is a key part of a game’s longevity, since players will be able to spend their time discovering new things about every character without the pressure of also having to win games on top of that.
The tutorials are also great for on-boarding new players, since the game contains numerous mechanics that borderline make no sense without being explained to you first.

“I Didn’t Expect His Butt to Have Such a Huge Reception Worldwide” says Gudetama Creator AMY in Interview

As part of Netflix’s J-Wave event, we had the opportunity to speak with Gudetama Creator – AMY in an interview about everyone’s favourite lazy egg, Gudetama.

[Interview is edited for clarity]

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

What was your inspiration in creating Gudetama and are there any particular memories that you would like to share with us?
AMY: Gudetama was one of the ideas that I had submitted to Sanrio when they had this food-based character competition.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

How was an actual egg the inspiration that influenced the character behind the philosophy of Gudetama?
AMY: When I was eating Tamago Kake (Raw egg with rice) at home, I saw the colour of the egg and thought about its nutritional value and I thought that eggs could have a lot of potential in being cooked in so many different ways.
Tamago Kake Gohan
But I felt that it was so apathetic or unmotivated that I couldn’t have made eye contact with it. Those were the ideas that I had inspirations for, and I also thought about the millennials in Japan who all come from different backgrounds and big education but they kind of gave up on the competitive society.
So those were the overlapping ideas when I designed Gudetama along with his personality.

What do you think makes Gudetama so special?
AMY: I think his apathetic or unmotivated-ness is his appeal. But also what was unexpected was his butt having such a huge reception worldwide.

In today’s age when people are more and more busy where everything seems so fast paced, people seem to relate more to a character like Gudetama.
Did you anticipate that when you created Gudetama?
AMY: I felt that Gudetama is a character that gives you this feeling of comfort, that there are people who have it worse.
But also I do hear a lot from people that Gudetama is saying these things on behalf of me, and it also makes you feel like you don’t really have to try too hard and makes you feel relaxed.

Before Gudetama got so popular, were you ever worried that a character whose main trait is being lazy would be seen as something negative?
AMY: In the beginning, yes. I was afraid that maybe this character would not be well received in the sense that he’s so unmotivated and lazy.

How does it feel to see a character you initially created on a piece of paper now coming to life as a series on Netflix?
AMY: This is something that started very small in a sense and I see many professionals working on this project. I’m amazed to see how they are working on that series, I also get to see people that I respect work so hard on it and they’re so serious about it.
But then you see Gudetama who’s acting like it’s none of his business.

How does it feel to know audiences from so many countries discover the character through the Netflix series?
AMY: I feel excited to see how people would react to the series and see their responses.

What would you tell the audiences who are not familiar with the character yet and why is Gudetama so special and why should they tune into the series?

AMY: I think you can just watch it very casually and maybe think “oh that looks good to eat”. Or maybe you could dig deeper and overlap things with your life and ponder on that.

Any advice you can share to aspiring artists and creators who are looking to break through the industry and create their own stories and characters?
AMY: Actually, I feel like I should be the one asking for advice.
But I think it’s important to really take time and think about the negative feelings and emotions and digest them.

We would like to thank AMY for taking the time to answer our questions about Gudetama. The Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure series will be airing on 13th December 2022 on Netflix.

Rotaeno announced for Android and iOS platforms

Publisher XD Network and developer Dream Engine Games have just announced Rotaeno, a new rhythm game for the Android and iOS platforms. The game is being dubbed as a rotary rhythm game, the first of its kind in the world, to make clever use of the mobile gyroscopes. Available in the English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese languages, the game will be the maiden project of a new developer comprised students from Hong Kong.

To further elaborate on the control scheme, in addition to having to tap the notes like in every other rhythm game, players will have to tilt their devices to catch the notes falling from the center of the screen. While it does sound like more work than usual and might be awkward in practice, especially in public, we are going to have to see how it is in real life.

Furthermore, music game staples such as Sound Souler and KOTONOHOUSE will be contributing their material to the game as well, so there’s something to look forward to.
