Legally Blonde is getting a mobile game soon

While film franchises are no stranger when it comes to crossing over to video games, Legally Blonde will unexpectedly get a mobile game soon.

This unlikely crossover happened as a result of PlaySide Studios signing a deal with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM). PlaySide Studios is an Australian video game developer while MGM is a media company that made films such as James Bond and RoboCop.

With the name, Legally Blonde: The Game, this mobile game will be available soon on iOS and Android. Apparently, it will be a choice-based free-to-play puzzle game.
According to an interview with PlaySide Studios Vice President of Development TJ Munusamy:

“We have a good relationship with MGM and we loved the franchise. It’s about women’s empowerment. She’s smart, savvy, and has a sophisticated side. It’s one of those films that’s a classic. And mobile free-to-play has been our bread and butter.”
As a refresher, Legally Blonde is a romantic comedy film released back in 2001. The 20-year old movie starred Reese Witherspoon, who plays Elle Woods as she enrols into Harvard Law School to follow her ex-boyfriend. A sequel, titled, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde came out two years later and also features Witherspoon.
MGM announced that a third Legally Blonde film will release next year which also sees the actress reprising her role. Currently, there is no mention of whether Witherspoon will make an appearance in the game.

GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 46 – How Capcom Went From Crapcom To CapGod

So Capcom or “CapGod” as they’re often nicknamed is doing pretty well nowadays. Multiple critically praised Resident Evil games, Getting Monster Hunter to blow up in the west, bringing Devil May Cry back, and even Ace Attorney is doing pretty well. It’s pretty surprising when you remember that only around a decade earlier, Capcom was one of the most disliked triple-A publishers in the industry.

“Crapcom” as people called them in the late 2000s and early 2010s seemed like they couldn’t do anything right: bad DLC practices, canceling anticipated new games, and a backward policy of appealing to westerners that didn’t really appeal to westerners. And yet they managed to turn it around. So, how did they do it?

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

The dark age of Crapcom started around 2010 and can be thought of as three categories: DLC, the appeal to the west policy, and Mega Man.
The 7th generation of consoles (Wii, PS3, 360) was not an easy time for developers. Many were still getting used to the much higher cost of developing HD games, and online games and needed to find ways to squeeze as much profit out of titles as possible. One answer to this was the emergence of DLC and Capcom went all out in the worst way. And if you’d like to know what that way was, and how Capcom eventually turned it around, subscribe to our newsletter. You can read it for free by putting your email address in the box below:

Pokemon Masters EX gives a statement on recent leaks

Pokemon Masters EX has recently put up an announcement in regards to recent leaks of their upcoming events.

The announcement reads:

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

“On September 23, promotional materials originally shared in a private communication channel (where members were bound by a confidentiality agreement) were shared publicly. This led to in-progress materials being widely distributed ahead of our original timeline. As a result, we have terminated our working relationship with the person responsible for this leak.
Please keep in mind that our announcements and updates are planned with an ideal experience in mind, and disruptions to that timeline can compromise the integrity of these plans. We strongly encourage Trainers to experience the game as intended and avoid distributing compromised materials ahead of their intended live date.”

While DeNa has never made any public announcements in regards to the Datamine for Pokemon Masters EX, this announcement is made against the leaks that was spread around even before the datamine for the upcoming events was released.
The difference between a datamine and leaks is that datamines are basically information extracted from the game’s code. Leaks are normally contents that are bound through confidentiality agreements being spread around.
The mentioned leaks for Pokemon Masters EX is most likely the Melony, Gordie and Halloween Sync Pairs that was spread around social media before the datamine for the events are up.
While looking up leaks is what keeps certain people interested in the game to get themselves hyped, you need to remember that these leaked contents are not official contents and are subject to change so they are not 100% guaranteed to be released in the same form from the leaks.

There’d been a lot of rumors circulating around the development of Armored Core VI, especially after leaks earlier this year of a potential focus test for the title.

Many fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the return of Armored Core, especially following sentiment that From Software had abandoned the IP following the success of the Souls series.
“PLEASE BE LIKE FOR ANSWER I AM CRYING AND LITERALLY PUNCHING THE AIR FLAILING AND FOAMING AT THE MOUTH ALLFOEOQPPXPCLFLW” tweets Vshojo Vtuber Zentreya.
Some had even taken to sharing traditional knowledge- such as the bizarre recommended grip style for playing the obtuse mech game.

Honkai Impact 3rd Evangelion Collaboration Releases “Concept Trailer”

MiHoYo have released a new Concept Trailer for the upcoming Honkai Impact 3rd Evangelion Collaboration, which starts 22nd January.

The trailer shows the girls of Honkai Impact 3rd filling the shoes of the characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion, cutting through various important story beats fans of the anime should recognize.

The trailer also features appearances by several Angels- the monstrous antagonists of the anime. Sachiel, Ramiel and Leliel all make appearances, along with one of Honkai Impact 3rd’s mechs standing in for Eva-01.
Admittedly, the boxy mech doesn’t quite evoke the same emotion of one of the most iconic mecha of all time, even if they tried to paint it purple.

The trailer ends with the arrival of the star of the Honkai Impact 3rd Evangelion Collaboration, the new Valkyrie Asuka Langley. She carries the iconic Spear of Longinus also from the anime, although scaled down to the size of a person instead of an Eva.
Funnily enough, although Asuka is the face of this collaboration, the three Angels in the trailer are all Angels she had no role in fighting in the anime. Sachiel’s presence was a given, as the creature has largely been in every promotional material for the franchise. However Ramiel and Leliel are less often seen, with the latter being deeply tied to series protagonist Shinji Ikari.
Of course, the likely reason is just that the three Angels are undoubtedly the coolest looking, and capture so much of the appeal of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Epic Games reveals features for Unreal Engine 5, now available for early access

New features for Unreal Engine 5 were revealed in the Unreal Engine live stream today, with developers able to try them out in early access. You can watch the live stream here:

Unreal Engine 5 is set to release in 2022. Thankfully, existing Unreal Engine 4 projects can be upgraded to Unreal Engine 5 when it comes out.

Here are some of the new features revealed during the live stream:

Nanite

The first feature highlighted by Epic Games is Nanite. It’s a new virtualized micropolygon system that allows games to show “unprecedented amounts of geometric detail.” Nanite streams and processes just the details that people can perceive, which lowers the poly count and draw call constraints in games.

Lumen

Lum3n is a dynamic global illumination solution. With it, indirect lighting adapts to changes made by direct lighting or geometry. For example, lighting will adapt to a flashlight being turned on or the sun’s angle changing with the time of day.
With Lumen, developers don’t have to author lightmap UVs anymore. They also don’t have to wait for lightmaps to back or place reflection captures. Instead, developers can create and edit lights within Unreal Editor to see the same final lighting that will appear when the game is run.
Making more open worlds
Unreal Engine 5 also has a new World Partition system that changes how levels are managed and streamed. It automatically divides worlds into a grid and streams just the necessary cells. This allows game developers to work on open worlds more quickly.
Because of the new system, game developers can simultaneously work on the same region of a world without getting in each other’s way. It also features Data Layers that allow developers to create different variations of the same world in the same space, such as day and night variants of a map.
Animation
Several tools in Unreal Engine 5 improve the animation process. A tool called Control Rig lets people create rigs and share them across multiple characters. A new Pose Browser can be used to save and apply poses from Sequencer. Developers can also make movement that appears more natural with the new Full-Body IK solver. Lastly, Motion Warping can dynamically adjust a character’s root motion, which allows it to align to different targets with an animation.
MetaSounds
On the audio side of things, Unreal Engine 5 introduces MetaSounds. This is an audio system that gives control over audio DSP graph generation of sound sources. Developers may be familiar with Material Editor. Epic Games explains that MetaSounds brings the benefits of procedural content creation to audio in the same way that the Material Editor brings them to shaders and other features.
Editor workflow
Epic Games also has an update to Unreal Editor that should help people streamline their workflows. It uses more screen real estate and lets people summon and stow the Content Browser. It also now lets you dock any editor tab to the collapsible sidebar.

You can learn more about Unreal Engine 5 and its early access state on the Unreal Engine website.

Adding Strategy to Superheroes – Marvel’s Midnight Suns Interview with Jake Solomon, Creative Director

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a new title from Firaxis Games, promising a darker take on the Marvel franchise emphasizing strategy and planning. We recently compared it to Slay The Spire meets Mass Effect.

However, a more apt explanation of what Marvel’s Midnight Suns is about and how its deckbuilding strategy and relationship-building aspects come into play has to come from the developers themselves. On that note, we caught up with Jake Solomon, creative director at Firaxis Games for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, to talk more about what the game has in store for players. According to Jake:

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

“Marvel’s Midnight Suns is truly a dream project for me. My Marvel roots run deep – I am a huge fan of the comics and my favorite series was this run in the 90’s called the Rise of the Midnight Sons. So for me, developing this game with this story is particularly awesome.”
Jake Solomon, Creative Director of Marvel’s Midnight Suns
From XCOM to Midnight Suns
The comparison between XCOM and its sequels to Midnight Suns is inevitable, as both are tactical RPGs from Firaxis Games. Thankfully, Jake also designed XCOM: Enemy Unknown and was creative director on XCOM 2. He pointed out several key differences between both games:
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

“We have multiple difficulties in Marvel’s Midnight Suns so you’ll be able to turn up or down the challenge depending on what you’re looking for. We designed Marvel’s Midnight Suns to play faster than XCOM, both in the actions you take as well as the length of the missions, which some players might feel is easier. But we don’t sacrifice depth or complexity, as these are essential for making any good tactics game.”
Jake added, “On permadeath, we have a more traditional RPG experience where if all your heroes are defeated, you fail the mission and you have to restart. Permadeath was an important mechanic in XCOM, both narratively and thematically, but doesn’t fit what we’re trying to build in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.”
Game: XCOM 2| In XCOM, seeing your beloved characters die is always painful.
“The time limit in XCOM was something that made sense both narratively and mechanics-wise. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a different type of game and thus has a different set of design goals and mechanics. Depending on the player, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will take about 40 to 60 hours to play through,” he explained.
The Marvel game also allows players to bond with the heroes. Jake added that “it’s pretty unlikely” to max out the friendship with all the characters in one play through. He also revealed the following regarding the difference in gameplay between both games:

“In XCOM, the combat reflected the premise of the game – you’re taking this group of rookie soldiers against a superior enemy, pushing your way forward with danger around every corner. In Marvel’s Midnight Suns – you are the danger; you are a Super Hero as the Hunter and you have legends like Iron Man and Captain Marvel on your side. We want the player to feel like awesome whenever they’re on the battlefield, and taking cover, missing a punch or growing from rookie to badass over the course of the game didn’t fit what we’re trying to create,” he shared.
“Another side to this is that with so many heroes of various strength and abilities, we needed to find a way that balanced everyone out. Because cards are randomly drawn, we can create awesome and powerful abilities right from the start. This way, you won’t have to level up and grind to unlock Iron Man’s arsenal – you’ve got it, but there’s no guarantee you can use those powers this immediate turn,” he added.

“In many ways, combat in Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the opposite of XCOM. In XCOM, you know exactly what you can do turn-by-turn, but you aren’t sure if it’s going to be successful. In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you don’t know what the next hand will draw, but once you have the ability or power – it’s always going to work. Cards offer us a new and interesting way to present tactics to the player, and I’m excited for people to check it out.”
In Marvel’s Midnight Suns – you are the danger
– Jake Solomon
The main XCOM games relied heavily on players forming their strategy around aspects like cover, which obviously would seem weird in Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Jake further cemented the idea of combat being total opposite in both games by making a point about these mechanics:
In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, a lot of combat is about making you feel like a Super Hero and we designed our combat spaces and mechanics so that it feels like a playground. We don’t have verticality or cover in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, because our heroes don’t miss or worry about taking cover. And because they’re so strong, you shouldn’t be scared of one or two soldiers.
So instead of progressing through the map and inching your way forward, the bad guys are trapped on the battlefield with you. There’s lots of them and using your random selection of abilities, you have to figure out how to maximize the amount of damage you do and minimize the amount of damage you take. We do this by presenting the player different types of enemies – there’s minions, who get defeated by any damage they take, as well as elite enemies who have health bars.

Assembling the Avengers (and more)
The Avengers, X-Men, and Runaways are amongst the allies and teammates players get to befriend with as the Hunter, the game’s customisable player character. Jake revealed more about the Hunter’s role in the game and how the other playable characters were chosen:
“The Hunter will be required for the main story missions, but you’ll be able to pick squads without the Hunter for optional missions. The way we set it up is that at the War Room, you’ll be able to select from a set of missions to go on. There’s the main mission, which the Hunter is always a part of, but there’s also optional missions that require a different hero. For those optional missions, you don’t need to bring the Hunter and can select from any of the unlocked heroes you have,” he said.

“Figuring out who to be on our roster of heroes was one of the hardest decisions to make in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, but we’re really proud and excited on where we landed. We intentionally chose heroes from across the Marvel universe – the Avengers, Runaways, X-Men and more – and one of our story themes is this clash of old and new. That’s why you see characters like Captain America, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel – the Avengers are used to dealing with apocalyptic threats, but they’re out of their depth when it comes to the supernatural. Meanwhile the younger Midnight Suns heroes – Blade, Magik, Ghost Rider and Nico Minoru – they’re used to the supernatural but still need to earn their way to take on threats of this magnitude. As the Hunter, your role is to sort of bridge the two together.”

He also added, “Throughout the game, you’re going to need resources when it comes to upgrading your abilities, facilities in the Abbey, and more. Missions offer specific types of rewards – you’ll need credits for improving the Forge, so you should find a mission that offers credits as an award. Each mission has a required hero that you need to take, so this is one way we encourage players to play at least a little bit with each hero. Also, the more you take a certain hero into combat, the more you put them at risk where they take too much damage and get Injured. Heroes that are Injured can still be used in combat, but they’ll have some type of debuff – they might start a fight with less total health, for example. Also – in the Abbey, there’s times where the heroes themselves will ask you to take them into battle and you’ll get rewarded if you do so.”
When asked whether we could add villains into our team, this is what he said:
“Unfortunately for the Hunter, only Lilith has the ability to fully bind her enemies to her cause!”
We just hope that the game will do well enough that Jake and his team would consider adding Magneto in the future as DLC—fingers crossed.

Cards and Combat – Implementing strategy into Midnight Suns
Marvel’s Midnight Suns adopts a more strategy-oriented approach, with cards and deckbuilding as a big part of gameplay. Jake was kind enough to elaborate further on the card mechanics in the game.
“You control up to three heroes, each with a unique deck of their own. Decks are comprised of eight total cards that you can switch out abilities when you’re out of combat. You can have copies of the same card to increase your chance of drawing that card, and also to tailor the playstyle of that character to fit your needs. It’s entirely possible to make a Captain America who is very defensive or very offensive.”
He added, “This is one of the benefits of being able to use cards as a way to represent abilities – you can customize your deck and thus shift a character’s playstyle. The Hunter is the most flexible in terms of being able to switch it up, while the other heroes have certain traits or abilities that make them feel unique. For example, Ghost Rider does an enormous amount of damage, but his abilities often incur a cost to himself. Nico Minoru has powerful support and debuff abilities, but also has extremely powerful spells that are unpredictable and require some set up to truly draw out their potential. However, these traits don’t restrict you from making these characters more offensive or defensive, or better at generating Heroism or burning through it with powerful abilities.”

Those demons… Yeah, they’re in trouble! pic.twitter.com/KhfMzEeoO2
— Marvel's Midnight Suns (@midnightsuns) September 5, 2021

Jake also mentioned, “You only have three card plays, but the battle system has a lot of flexibility where some abilities refund a card play on KO, some give you extra card plays the next turn, and you also have things like the ability to redraw to give yourself something more favorable. Layer all of this with Heroism, which is the resource you need to pull of your strongest attacks as well as utilize the environment, such as throwing boxes or blowing up canisters. Using the environment doesn’t require any card plays, but using up Heroism means you have less ways to use your Heroic abilities.
All in all, it’s a really deep and interesting system and I’m excited to see the different types of strategies and combos players figure out. Just because you have three card plays per turn, doesn’t mean you’ll only do three actions. Abilities that have the Quick attribute will refund a card play on KO, which is very useful for clearing out weaker minions. You’ll have cards that grant you more card plays the next turn, or some cards that don’t use up card plays at all. Suffice to say there is a lot of depth to the system and many ways for the player to “break” the rules, so to speak,” he added.
In addition, we asked him if it was possible to skip attack animations, to which he responded with:
“You can’t skip the animations for the attacks, but Marvel’s Midnight Suns is designed to play fast.”

Incorporating the Marvel universe
Marvel is massive—Midnight Suns is practically an infant compared to the long legacy of some of the heroes added to the game. This would mean that Firaxis would be getting new fans, some of whom may be familiar with the comics while many would be accustomed to the films of the MCU. This is what Jake had to say to Marvel fans:
“If you were already a fan of any of the heroes in the Marvel’s Midnight Suns roster, there’s going to be a lot to look forward to in the game. Expect callbacks, expect easter eggs, and expect new things too. We will have suits and outfits that take inspiration from Marvel as a whole, sure to delight any Marvel fan!”

Battle in STYLE! pic.twitter.com/SLn8qeYmsc
— Marvel's Midnight Suns (@midnightsuns) September 2, 2021

He continued, “I think this is a great time to be a Marvel fan, whether you like the movies, the TV shows, the comics or the video games. I’m really excited for players to meet some new characters in Marvel’s Midnight Suns that they may not be familiar with, like my favorite super hero Magik! – but also to see some of those familiar faces in unfamiliar territory, like Iron Man in a spooky mansion or Captain America punching some demons. It’s going to be an awesome adventure.”

Jake’s insight into Marvel’s Midnight Suns really made us feel hyped for what Firaxis Games has in store for us and the players. Thank you, Jake for revealing these details to us and our readers. We wish you and your team all the best!
Marvel’s Midnight Suns releases in March 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, PS5 and Switch.

On entering a Stage, the Construction Phase will begin. The paths taken by the enemies will be highlighted on the ground. Construct Mechanici at predetermined locations to deal damage to the monsters, which consumes Veneficus Points. Accumulate Points on defeating enemies and using Mystic Arts. Removing a Mechanici will partially refund Points, which is also used in reconstructing existing Mechanici. The number of maximum constructible Mechanici are shared between players in co-op, but their Mechanici levels are dependent on individual progress.
You can start the next wave immediately if you want to. While you cannot damage the monsters directly, you can still use Elemental Skills to infuse monsters with elements. Stages will also have special features that go on cooldown, to help you destroy monsters.

Veneficus Sigils obtained at the end of a Stage can be used to unlock and upgrade Mechanici. Mystic Arts can be selected at defeating a wave for a variety of effects, and can also be skipped.
Upgrade and unlock Mechanici in the Armory prior to entering a Stage, which will effect the ones you construct in the Stages. More Stages will unlock as you progress through stages of Festive Fever.
Completing quests will give out Peace Talismans, 1000 of which will be required for the Stand By Me event to obtain one of the 4-star Liyue characters.

SIGNALIS Preview – Is it time to answer the call?

SIGNALIS is an intriguing title, to say the least. rose-engine‘s “classic survival horror” launches 27 October 2022 on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Gamepass and, dare I say it, has fully captured me in its dystopian future in its opening hours. I’m told to expect a cosmic mystery and terrifying creatures, a combination of words I don’t typically enjoy. For this game, I am willing to make an exception.

HOLD THE PHONE
My first stop is the Options menu, which is immediately accessible following the health and content warnings prior to the actual start of the game. Considering my gripes about accessibility, I am incredibly grateful for this relatively small, but nonetheless significant change for me. On top of that, there are tooltips for the various options! The game will inform you about the recommended settings, which will be highlighted in blue.

The CRT effect.
Here are what I’d consider the more notable settings:

Controls Style, offering modern standard movement or Tank to replicate the classic feeling
Automatic reloading and use of Stun Prods (where applicable) on on/off toggles
Combat Accessibility which is basically the difficulty setting, in Casual, Normal and Survival flavours
Film grain and CRT Mode for full visual immersion

For what it’s worth, I played the game with most of the effects off and at least 70% brightness because places and images being too dark starts triggering my motion sickness.

HELLO, WORLD?
The initial “vibe” (so to speak) I get from this game is a blend of the classic Resident Evil games, Ghost in the Shell, and the Alien franchise. What exactly that means, please do look forward to the full review. For now, take a seat, and let me attempt to break down the basic mechanics you’ll need to contend with.
Elster’s eye follows your cursor.
Our leading Replika, Elster, feels incredibly sluggish, and sprinting isn’t any much faster. I don’t consider this a bad thing, though, as it does fit perfectly well with its setting. The game is primarily a top-down view, with things not quite being a literal pixel hunt as interactable items have a red bracket over them. There is a little problem with the hitbox where if two items are too close together, your cursor needs to move further than you might expect to mouse over the intended item.

Elster has an incredibly limited inventory, stuck with only six items and no ability to drop things. Even if you’ve equipped anything – namely, One weapon and tool each – they will still occupy a slot. Hope you like juggling items! Certain tools have limited uses, and of course, your weapons have varying ammo counts, and there are Things lurking around. Sprinting will make you more noticeable which could be a last resort if you’re out of healing items and ammo. Even once you down the creatures – whether by bullets or stun prods – they still squirm around, requiring a close-up finishing blow. Even on Casual, the threat of dying is real and you know what’s the kicker?
There are no checkpoints. You better remember to save once you’ve made significant headway.
A safe room with a storage box.
The creatures also get back up if you “linger too long” in an area. Enjoy.
You too can subject other people to this experience as one game can store multiple profiles so that everyone can screech at their own progress at their own pace. As with any good classic survival horror, the backtracking and note-taking should be something enthusiasts are well acquainted with, besides the minor crafting elements and gosh dang puzzles.
ROAD LESS TRAVELLED
I’ve always had trouble over horror / horror-adjacent games, motion sickness being the main culprit before the actual scares. Genuinely, I’m really happy about the very quick transition to the settings so that I at least could take in more of the atmosphere that SIGNALIS has to provide. I admittedly still get lost despite the fairly clear map, but I can’t fault its labelling. If you’re still able to interact with a key component – a puzzle, for example – it is highlighted red on the map until you get round to it, so you know what still needs doing.

Presentation, execution and unique touches are what brings life to ideas that you could dismiss as unoriginal; though I assume I can guess certain paths the game might take, it still pulls me along.
I can see why some might bounce off this game, though. You’re forced to manage that tiny, tiny inventory rather than a limitless bag of other genres you may be used to. I can see people accusing the game of unnecessary padding due to the amount of backtracking required not just for obtaining key items, but also ensuring you’ve kept your save up to date. Additionally, the slow movement may not be for everyone. At worst, it can be clunky, as you wish Elster could just go, when you need to go back to that one place across the map.
I’ll say it again, though: SIGNALIS thus far has had me in its grip, and I’ll be seeing this ride through.
Here there be monsters.
Now excuse me, I have some more plot threads to connect, so, till next time.

Mafia: Definitive Edition Trailer Released

Hangar 13 released a new trailer for Mafia: Definitive Edition, showing more of the game’s re-done cutscenes. The trailer is aptly named “A Life Too Big To Ignore”.

Mafia: Definitive Edition takes place in 1930s Lost Heaven, Illinois. This takes place during the prohibition era- where alcohol smuggling was a risky way to make good money.

The trailer gives us a glimpse at the cliff notes for the game’s story. After a run-in with another gang, Tommy Salieri gets involved with the Salieri Crime Family. The once-simple cab driver is soon taking on big jobs for the mafia, with a lot more shooting than he would have done otherwise.
Much of the trailer is voice over by Don Salieri, explaining the importance of loyalty to the family. He promises a fast-track to the high life, after all. However, other characters also warn Tommy about the dangerous life he is getting into.

Creating Malaysian anime idols — Project Dreamcatcher!! interview with CK and JY of Yore Productions

Malaysia isn’t known for its anime, but that’s what Yore Productions hopes to change with their anime idol project, Project Dreamcatcher!! As fellow Malaysians and appreciators of all-things anime, we caught up with CK and JY of Yore Productions, the director and assistant director of the project to learn more about their IP.

Left: CK | Right: JY / Image Credit: Yore Productions
“Anime is a very well-known medium. People from USA, Japan, Taiwan, China have their own anime,” said JY. Realising its worldwide appeal, the team at Yore Productions felt that there is a huge potential for “Malaysian beauty and culture” to be promoted overseas with anime as a medium.

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

That said, idol anime may seem like a niche genre for what is possibly Malaysia’s first anime, but according to CK, “It is a great concept. You can incorporate idols into your IP because it’s very versatile—you can turn them into ambassadors, you can do a lot of things, basically. It started off as a passion project because we just graduated last time and gradually, it snowballed into what you see today, thanks to support along the way and the professional input from the Japanese side of the industry.” CK, being a fan of idol anime himself, got the inspiration from a visit to Akihabara after graduating.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
The birth of Malaysian idol anime
After a year of development, CK’s idea was starting to take a more defined shape. JY revealed that “Malaysia has so many nice places but we shortlisted Penang or Melaka, which are very well-known to overseas tourists so that it will be much easier to market it. Through our study, many people are much more familiar with Penang. As for story-wise, it is centred around Penang but CK’s vision is that eventually, it will cover the whole of Malaysia—so we’ll slowly incorporate Melaka, Kelantan, and other states into the story as well.”

The story features secondary school students forming various idol units, serving as something similar to that of co-curricular activities. CK summarised the setting of Project Dreamcatcher!! with, “You start it off with Penang and after the interstate competition, you go to the national level. By doing that you can expand our scope of coverage to other states.”
Image Credit: Yore Productions
While the idea of teenage Malaysian girls competing to be the country’s top idol group is certainly catchy, Yore Productions first move Project Dreamcatcher!! with is to make a music video (MV). As CK puts it, “The MV itself is a proof of concept, to prove that we can produce something worthy of Malaysia.” JY added:
“Because of the culture, you sometimes need a proper story to tell (it), but MV is more like a visual showcase to prove we can do something to the overseas people and audience. At the moment, we will only focus on well-known places and locations like Chew Jetty and Kek Lok Si, Penang spots basically, and a few shots where they’re holding local food like Potong.”

Fusing Malaysian culture with idol culture
One thing that piqued our interest during the interview is the Japanese voices actresses for the characters. While the team is open to including dubbing for other languages in the future, the decision to cast Japanese talents to voice the Malaysian characters is a marketing one.
Considering that Yore Productions is working with Japanese talents, it doesn’t really come as a surprise when we found out that they are working with a Japanese composer. When asked about the genre of music, JY clarified that since this is their first music video, it will feature happy, cheerful music, as with most anime idol songs.
“Maybe in the future, we’ll have like a very traditional (local-inspired) idol group. Maybe we can add it to our music as well as a new fusion kind of song. But I’m guessing we’re still pretty much like the “idol” idol type of music because it is an idol IP, so the music should be something towards that direction,” he elaborated.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
One thing to note is that Malaysia doesn’t really have a prominent idol culture, unlike in Japan. When asked about how the team is approaching this, CK answered:
“Of course, idol culture is not really our culture, but personally, I believe that idol is just a plot device because if you look past that element, you are still trying to tell a story. That’s what is important right? And also if you notice that these few years we have a lot of VTubers. Local VTuber-wise there are a lot of idol oriented VTubers, so I believe that is there is interest in this field. It’s just that for now, we don’t really have a platform for them.”
“This is why we build our community here so we can consistently get feedback from people to see whether we can proceed with this kind of idea, or whether they accept or not, so we can anchor ourselves in a much better position as the IP grows,” adds JY.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
As Yore Productions continues to gather feedback as they take the first steps towards idol culture in Malaysia, we were also curious about another aspect of idol culture—school life. Most Japanese idols, especially seen in anime, are recruited when they’re still in school, leading to stories that blend both school life and music.
“We will try our best to depict the Malaysian school life based on our experience. We all went through that. So I believe that we can write our story into it,” CK shared. “In Japan, you just take the train, right? Train, bicycle—that kind of thing. But in Malaysia, it’s usually your parents who fetch you there or you take a bus. Another simple thing that we can change is the uniform. Because in Japan, you have summer and winter. We have one.”
“I would say we are using anime as an art medium, but the core, story direction and setting will still reference Malaysian setting and stuff. So how we go through our daily life will show through the story as well,” JY added.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
Developing Project Dreamcatcher!!
Project Dreamcatcher!! began as a passion project for CK and JY, who are also the co-founders of Yore Productions.
“So basically, initial starting development is just CK and me doing the project like ideation, design and stuff. Design falls under CK and I’m supporting for the 3D,” said JY. “But at the moment, I would say 80% of staff is still in-house. For things that we are not familiar with, we outsource to freelancers. Currently, our production house is not that big. As for core members, we have like four or five people in-house as a team, so yeah.”
For such a small team, creating their own 3D anime is no doubt a daunting task. However, the decision to use 3D as a medium does have its merits. JY claims that “We like to explore how 3D can explore much more different kind of art styles. Actually, people have been doing that. I can give you examples like Tarzan or Beauty and the Beast, they used 3D. But just at that time, it’s using 3D as a reference and then they retrace it back into 2D. So, combining 2D and 3D isn’t something new.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
Just that as the years goes by, 3D visuals started to get more and more prominent because it saves your time to do repetitive stuff. For example, you have something that you know will be showing throughout the scene. You can use 3D and save you some time from having to keep redrawing the same thing.
We all know that in animation fields, everything is very kind of a struggle—very hard. I mean, you have to take care of your budget,” JY continued. “We now have tone shading, cell shading stuff and you can use them inside the 3D software as well. So we see the benefit of 3D.
Image Credit: Yore Productions
Project Dreamcatcher!! and beyond
Interest in Project Dreamcatcher!! has been building up as of late. JY disclosed that there are interested parties and companies that are keen to invest. Much of this is still in the discussion stage, but it certainly is a promising sign. Besides that, many individuals with ties to the anime community such as artists, EN VTubers and even music producers have expressed interest in collaborating with the project.
“We’re trying to see if we can work something together, because at the end of the day, we hope that we could include the local people and community as much as possible. So we are still trying to see if we can put something up with that.”
Image Credit: Yore Productions
Anime idol franchises are typically multi-media projects, spawning songs, anime series and even video games, We’re naturally curious to learn what sort of big dreams the team has in store, or whether they will follow the path of anime idol franchises like The I[email protected], Love Live and BanG Dream. This is what CK had to say:
“To be honest, it’s a little bit unrealistic for us because they are multi-million businesses, right? So, as an indie project, it is very hard for us to go in that direction. But nonetheless, those IPs are really great references for us. So if we want to make some sort of business decision, we can actually refer to that to make a better judgment, in general. But of course, if let’s say the investors are really into the project, then we can do more about it.”
“I would say for now we will focus more on what we can produce at the moment, which is the music video, and hopefully, we’ll have more funding and later we’ll start to share more about the stories and everything. Then, if there is an investor that would want to venture into maybe more mobile games or visual novels stuff or anything, then we’ll see how it can branch out from there,” JY chimed in.
Imge Credit: Yore Productions
Besides Malaysia and Japan, we were also curious where does Yore Productions plan to take the IP to in their future ventures with the project.
“As an IP owner, we hope that our IP can travel as far as it can, but realistically speaking, we hope to target Japan, America, and if we are able to enter China, that will be great,” answered CK.
We asked the duo when and where we can expect to watch the music video (we’re just too excited). The team will be releasing the MV on YouTube, but is also open to airing it on other platforms, should there be distributors who are interested. As for when, the team hasn’t exactly settled on a release date, and is looking at either the remainder of 2021 or early 2022. JY said:
“CK and I are working from home. So we need to have strong communication and stuff. It’s currently still manageable, but there are still some hiccups over overall productions. All I can say now is stay tuned.”
Image Credit: Yore Productions
Best girl
We saved the most important question for last. This was a tough question to ask, as CK and JY were able to get our interviewer to reveal his best girl (Shanti) before they did. Here’s JY’s answer:
“Previously, I would pick Eleanor, because she’s like a very elegant kind of character…how to say—princess-y kind of character. But recently because working from home is quite a struggle, so I kind of switched. Like, I want to calm down a bit, so I switched to Qiu Yu, the quiet type. So that would be my pick.”
As for CK, he spilled the beans with:
“The character that I liked the most is Yue Shuang. Well, I just like her personality. She’s just like an angry little gremlin and teaser—she will play a really big role in the story.”

We’re stoked to see how Project Dreamcatcher!! will turn out. Be sure to follow them on Twitter for more information. CK and JY also said that their DMs are open, so feel free to shoot them a question if you have something to inquire. The Project Dreamcatcher!! Discord was also recently started, so feel free to join and be part of a growing community!

Are you tired of the usual white PS5, perhaps you’re looking to give your machine its own unique flair, well these new PS5 covers may be what you’re looking for, and we’re here to give you an unboxing of them.

We’ve been lucky enough to get three new PS5 covers: Galactic Purple, Starlight Blue, and Nova Pink. The high saturation of each cover definitely gives them an out-of-this-world space theme that fits the sleek and futuristic design of the PS5.

Galactic Purple
The first we looked at was Galactic Purple. It’s probably why favorite of the three.

That’s not for any big reason, I just like the color purple and this is a good shade of it. It has a nice matt finish that really stands out when next to your TV.

Nova Pink
The nova pink PS5 cover really pops with its shade of hot pink that once again, adds to that modern style.

Starlight Blue
The starlight blue PS5 cover gives us a nice change of pace. While the Purple and Pink covers offer darker shades of each color, this is a nice shade of light blue. It makes the cover feel different from the others while still keeping to a cool clean design.

That completes our unboxing of the new PS5 covers in Galactic Purple, Starlight Blue, and Nova Pink.
Each cover costs RM259 / SGD79.9. Playstation has also released new PS5 dualsense wireless controllers in the same colors for MYR369 / SGD107. It’s pretty costly if you want to get a complete set but it may be worth it if you really want to give your PlayStation that new look.
Each of these products can be bought from local gaming/PlayStation retailers or from Playstation.com.
