Hinano takes on Rocket

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

In reality, Hinano does not appear to know about Rocket, inconceivable as it may sound. So, any competition between her new project and Starlight is just my imagination, but whatever. Once she gets the ball rolling, the competition is going to come to exist objectively.

Her designs look very good indeed. If only she found a way to get rid of that hideous computer sheen, nothing would be left to desire. Interestingly enough, the murderously cute Sixten’s fanart for Starlight does not have that “silk effect”, yet it obviously was shaded on a computer. What is his secret?

I saw it, but I’m doing something important right now, so I cannot play. I only unpacked it and gave it a quick check while one of reboots triggered a filesystem check.

Woops, an overlap. Also, using “затвори хлебало” would be much classier, IMHO. I’m not a big fan of pointless obscenities (although, Author-chan may be).

UPDATE: The intermission was quite funny, I laughed out loud. I did not get all references, unfortunately.

I did ok on the first test (285), blew the second (110), and managed to pass the final (1110) with the help of many reloads. I understood what was going on when I shot the baby dango. After that it was a matter of peppering the targets. For some reason, finding the spot on Impz was next to impossible.

UPDATE: Icy says the samurai smelling of sunflowers refers to Samurai Champloo (I only saw a random episode of it). I think I’ve got the rest.

Omo on The Weaboo City Chronicles

I swore to ignore the topic when I saw Hinano’s announcement, but who can ignore this endorsement:

In all seriousness, in a small and tidy package Hinano and her crew has put together a very solid and thoughtful story that both paints a new look to the various things she ranted about on her blog. At the same time she did a great job expressing her online voice (and… probably some offline voice too) in the different characterizations and personalities in the game. The whole thing may be a little contrived but it felt very natural, almost to a degree of innocence.

What are you doing to me, Jeff?

BTW, the game works on Linux.
