update: the game is moving VERY fast in some ways and not so fast in others, but i'm very thrilled at how it's turning out biggest game i've ever made by a LOT got a few collaborators involved pretty heavily at this point that many of you will be v surprised/happy to see 😎
i just checked my hours and i have been averaging 13 hrs/day 6-7 days a week on this game looking at like 1.5 years more at this rate before it's out (or close to out) will definitely announce well before then still a ton to do but making good progress stay safe out there 👍

i've taken to calling that specific slimy type of AI tech bro who has never written a line of code but is now gleefully declaring themselves a game developer as 'hit enter guys' they kinda strike me as kids with goldfish bowls on their heads calling themselves astronauts

on the bright side i think 'vibe coding' is a flash in the pan the way N/F/T/s were & the hit enter guys will move on to their next fidget spinner thingy once they get bored here eventually it'll become some niche isolated community with no real impact outside of themselves

it's really disheartening that corpos have bled this industry so dry at this point that a statement like this that was common sense amongst these studios 20 years ago has to be expressed like it's some huge lightbulb epiphany today
Exactly!! This is why Nintendo will long outlive everyone else, cause they get it. Institutional Knowledge is so critically important to game development, game devs have been telling me this consistently in interviews for years. Sony & Microsoft take note.

Daniel Remar of Iji fame just dropped a beautiful EGA 16-color palette game called Tower of Gold. This looks amazing. He seems to have really mastered the EGA palette since MURI. I had a big EGA phase in the early 2020s. Really fun palette to use once you adjust.

i read in to it a bit and the owner of a property in Japan has to be involved in getting it designated a landmark, and it looks like toriyama himself decided to ignore doing that in favor of just keeping to himself and creating stuff still said but i get it ok back to work
there's no deeper indictment and indicator of where humanity believes artists belong in modern society than the demolishment of Bird Studio that place was a historical landmark. half of Japan's recognizable modern fucking culture came out of the room they just bulldozed

鳥山明先生の自宅兼バードスタジオが解体されようとしている。 一度でいいから生で見たかった。 解体の背景には相続税が関係しているのではないかという声もある。 著作権の多くは会社に帰属していても土地や建物が個人名義だった場合それは相続税の対象になる。 家を守りたいと思っても税負担を考えてご家族が苦渋の決断を迫られたのかも。 ドラゴンボールの思い出が詰まった先生の仕事場が無くなるのは辛い。

鳥山明先生宅とBird Studioが 取り壊されているそうです。 日本の有名な漫画家の芸術は 国が手厚く保護するべきなのに 高すぎる相続税のせいで 壊すしかなかったのかもしれない。 芸術家が亡くなれば 芸術まで壊す国であってはならない。
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
鳥山明氏のBird Studio取り壊し理由は 公式に発表されておらず、相続税の 為と言う主張は未確認の憶測です。 同社は2026年8月に住所を清須市から 東京へ移転登録しており、相続税の 申告・納付期限(死亡を知った翌日 から10ヶ月以内)は2025年1月頃です。 companydata.tsujigawa.com/company/218000… nta.go.jp/taxes/shiraber… clover.lawyer/column/1520 animehunch.com/dragon-ball-to…

Former 'DRAGON BALL' editor Kazuhiko Torishima expresses sorrow over the demolition of Bird Studio, reflecting on Akira Toriyama: "The place I visited once a month... The place where so many characters and works were born is disappearing. So he's really gone..."
