You wonderful beefcake of a man. I don't even need it to happen. Just knowing she's someone you'd like to work with on the anime opening is enough for me.

Heard about you guys hitting the anime opening stretch goal earlier today. I really am pretty darn happy to see it. I mean, I'm a big fan of animation in general, and seeing the artstyle used in Indivisible animated is going to be a real treat.
Plus, well there's also the fact that an animated opening can be used for marketing purposes. I really want to see Lab Zero do well so it can continue to grow, anything that helps that rather pleases me. XD

How can you post these, which are admittedly good, and not post this, which is the GOAT? duckroll pls
GOAT indeed <3
Eh, I always considered both of the ones from WA2 to be better.
Aw shit, she's one of my favorite voice actors and singers ever. I'd love to see that happen. She MADE Shiki from KnK for me, even though I liked the character before she voiced her.
Haha, now I really want to see if we can make this happen.
The music in this still gives me chils, it's so fucking good.
Please do. I really enjoyed her work for the opening to RahXephon (Hemisphere) and the end credits for Arjuna (Mameshiba) in particular. I'd provide links for anyone unfamiliar with those, but it seems neither are on YouTube anymore.
EDIT: OP length will have to do for Hemisphere, since the full one's not there anymore.

Can't wait to see more about the Anime intro, I'm a sucker for them!
It's probably nostalgia talking but this is my favorite Anime Intro for a game ever!

Acutally I'm also REALLY partial to Skygunners intro! One of the most underrated PS2 games IMO!

Namco X Capcom was also amazing <3
I'm personally into the Ys II opening. They got Makoto Shinkai to animate it, of 5 Centimeters Per Second and Garden of Words fame.
Of course, it's way, way, way low budget compared to his other works since it was made in the late '90s and was way lower budget than what he makes now.

STOP TRIGGERING ME IT'S 'Ys'
They're old, but good. If you find they're too old for you (i.e. from 1989) you at least owe it to yourself to play Ys: Oath in Felghana, one of the greatest games of all time.
I kind of forgot to post my doodle I got, but here it is so others can enjoy it. I asked for a doodle with Ajna and Lanshi being cool wizards and they delivered. I wanted to ask for a weird crossover with Kogi and Shokugeki no Soma, but I feared that would of been too much to ask for so wizards it is.
Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen and The Final Chapter aren't that long. Roughly ~10 hours each, if you know what you're doing.

Now that the steam sale is over I can enjoy some of the games the Indivisible guest characters are coming from. I would have gotten Shovel Knight and Shantae's latest game, but I need to be there day 1 for RE0 HD. Can't wait for Hyper Light Drifter as well.
I'm pretty happy either way because just knowing these sorts of things gives me a good idea of what to expect, I guess. It's sort of like all the good feelings people got about SG when Alex brought up Big O, FLCL, Lovecraft, 90's cartoons, Tex Avery, BTAS and more. Even the small influences and intentions that made it through just added flavor to SG. I'm sure Indivisible will give people the same feelings regardless of how the anime OP turns out or who (TBD lol) works on it.
Yeah, get on those!
They are very "old school" in many ways, but still enjoyable. I just finished off the second game last week myself. It really put my mental mapping skills to the test, especially in Ys II (first and last dungeon especially!).
I don't remember Ys I being quite as labyrinthine, but I had played through most of the game on Wii Virtual Console version a while ago.
Both are pretty fucked honestly. I love the games, but man, you need to have a good memory and complete those dungeons in one shot if you don't want to be eternally lost. The cave in the first along with Darm Tower are pretty fucked at times. Darm Tower is essentially 50+% of the first game too and is one long samey looking dungeon. Good thing the games are pretty quick at least, so you can blast through each dungeon in a few hours without having to save and leave. I never finished 2, but I got quite a bit into it. It's a bit fucked as well. Probably more than 1, but I didn't find the gap that big.
But yeah, Ys games are great and people should play them. If the Indivisible intro can get anywhere close to the Ys intros then that would be great. A lot of my love of those intros are the sick music too, especially for Ys Origin.
A) New video with Lab Zero talking about the game. I get the impression it was recorded during the actual campaign though.
B) "Eric Kozlowsky joined your party!" Mr. Kowlowsky is now the Lead Environment Artist at LZ but has worked at Bioware, Retro, Double Fine, etc. in the near past.

We've actually hired four new people so far: once they're all in town, we'll be doing an intro video of sorts, getting them caricatures like the ones in the campaign, etc.
Things slowed down a lot over the holidays, but we're still looking for offices and working on getting things going.

they can't say, the studio told them to not say due to some legal reason, guess until they give the go-ahead
Trying to get this announced ASAP, but we might not be able to say anything until "spring" now. :\

By the way, why are you guys changing offices? Need more room for the newcomers? Forgive me if you've already said so.
Nice!

Duckroll will get it squared, we all know it's BONES and he has a direct line to them
Japan has such a fucked up culture sometimes
Dammit. That's so backwards.
lol wow. That's... silly >.> I don't blame you, or anything, though.

Wow that's so weird. Why would they do that? Seems really counter-productive.

My only guess is they are covering their asses because they have a lot on their schedule at the moment and if by some unforeseen reason they can't get to this they can return the money and cancel the project without putting their name out in the public?
Our current office was a stopgap solution to get us through SG stuff - was never really planned for, so we found something tiny and cheap.
There were 8 of us in 360 sq. ft., and typically you plan for 100 sq. ft. per employee.
Now that we have actual money, we need a real office with a good internet, more space, etc.
They're still committed and we have a deal memo and everything, they're just finalizing their schedule and don't want to announce until everything is 100% locked down.
This is pretty typical for Japan - they are absolutely terrified of making "mistakes," no matter how insignificant it is or easily correctable they would be. So they spend forever overdeliberating everything, even though making any potential mistake and fixing it would be much faster in the long run.
It's an unfortunate byproduct of the extremely hierarchical nature of Japanese business, which is very much about saving face.
Ouch. Damn. Well, I'm glad the Indivisible campaign turned out well in the end. Sounds like you guys are finally getting a real office again. Congrats!
Having it be public knowledge that you got X funding for something can be problematic when you're negotiating. Maybe the animation company has other contracts it wants secured first?

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Yeah, its a common problem and something that people outside of the industry are usually shocked at finding out.
TBH, the level of empathy towards companies from the fans would change substantially if they were more aware of the conditions some devs have to go through.
ultima pls
