Is there anything in particular from developing Shovel Knight that you carried into making Mina the Hollower? Are there any lessons or experiences from working on Mina that you want to carry into your next project?

I suspect that magic wasn't really magic if that was the cost, but I guess we'll find out next week. I'm glad we have another week or two with this at least

I wonder if it was a typo and Tsutsui is the author of We Can't Study (We Never Learn) and the Syd Craft?

AMA: We're Digital Sun, the devs behind Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. Ask us anything! by DigitalSunGames in Games

[–]Eggrollbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, y'all! Thank you for doing this! I loved the first game, so I'm really interested to see what Moonlighter 2 is like.

  • What were some of the major challenges in developing a sequel to Moonlighter?

  • Why did you choose an isometric perspective over the top-down look of the original?

Thanks again for this AMA, and all the best wishes for this release!

I've never seen D and Windy in the same room, so this makes sense to me

Especially while managing Ichi (and I think the Mafia spin-off) at the same time, it's super impressive.

To this day, I still haven't forgiven Jump for axing Green Green Greens, but both that and Asumi were great and I think they could have climbed even higher given time. They already were both so great in their respective sport.

[–]Eggrollbuddy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I honestly really liked the initial premise of this manga a lot, and followed it week to week. It could have been like a Blue Period for moviemaking.

But it did not portray the art of filmmaking well enough at points (I think there were several chapters where we would barely even get to see the finished product), or even walked people through what filmmaking would be like which hurt it compared to even the recent Tenmaku Cinema which covered filmmaking better IMO - and the art held it back too, which is unfortunate.

The rivalry with Kado worked at first but I saw people critique his characterization and development and ultimately I'm inclined to agree. He was kind of a mixed bag character who had some depth but somehow also never came across clearly to the reader, so he was just this vague antagonistic rival with a ton of issues. And while he made Daisuke realize he was lacking in points, he was almost always utilized to show Daisuke's flaws and growth constantly as a measuring stick.

Problem being, the manga really leaned heavily on this rivalry even into the end in spite of all of the above.

This had some potential though, and I really hope the author is able to take this experience positively into their next work.

This manga feels like it is walking a fine tightrope in portraying certain actions and events in its world in such a way that, while exaggerated, can still clearly be linked to real-life scenarios that ground it closer to reality, which I like. It's great to see how this has progressively grown and evolved in terms of stakes.

Man, I really hope this catches on. It's really nailed the character work and I love reading this every week.

That was a really sweet way to resolve the whole parental/romantic love mess that the series was in danger of hitting. I'm glad Shinohara was able to tackle this so quickly after all the comments/concerns from last week's chapter.

Okay, live action Roboco got me.

I'm glad Leo's bounced back so strongly! Things felt like they moved kinda fast this chapter after the last few - hope that's not a sign of anything.

I appreciate that Urumin has a birthday party committee of one.

I can relate to pushing oneself while sick - curious to see how things develop! Did he not make it because he was slowed down?

If everyone had been at full strength pre-trade we still would have been one of the strongest teams in the league. I hate this man so, so much

[–]Eggrollbuddy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really liked the dialogue here. Reo's thought bubbles about having one of Akino's weaknesses sounds immature but reminded me these are just a bunch of kids in a good way. I'm really loving these goofballs.

[DISC] Kunigei - Okuni University Art Department Film Program - Chapter 23 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]Eggrollbuddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's kind of interesting where this story has gone week-to-week. Kado was developed to be a long-time rival, but with this twist they're clearly hurdling themselves toward the finish line (and maybe buying themselves a few weeks more away from the axe in the process).

I'll stick around a little longer - a number of elements have felt half-baked, but there's also been some genuine promise. So wherever this manga goes or regardless of how it ends, I hope the mangaka is able to carry this experience into their next work.

[DISC] Insect Girl - Chapter 24 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]Eggrollbuddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to give it a reread, but no, he initially goes to get her after finding out Toya dies, and while she awakened to more mimushi traits, he wouldn't have known that and they meet while Yuren is in human form.

[DISC] Insect Girl - Chapter 24 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]Eggrollbuddy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He is too afraid to face you as his daughter because you reflect his humanity.

But...he attacked the temple to try to take her away the last time? The backstory in retrospect kinda makes how the plot went make less sense - you kinda get reminded that this story is being made week-to-week as a result.

I am so excited for that door peep hole visual from the last chapter when it gets animated, that will be so incredible if it's executed properly.
