‘So To Speak:’ A Game For Kicking-Off One’s Japanese Journey

So to Speak is going to be a great way to make that initial push into learning Japanese. Starting from zero can be incredibly daunting when it comes to acquiring any new language, especially one so notoriously difficult as Japanese. With this game though, perhaps that first, most difficult step need not be as bad as it would normally be. Who knows, it may actually wind up being rather fun.

Happy the-week-after-egg-weekend! Do you like eggs? We really like eggs.

*ahem* So anyway, thank you to everyone who tuned into our Night in the Woods stream! We had a really great time playing along with you last week. As requested, we’ve archived the stream on our YouTube channel for you all. If you weren’t able to watch as we played, you can now watch the experience at your leisure! That particular stream was owed to you all from a previous date, and so we’ve scheduled a second stream for this month as well. You can tune on on Monday, April 24th at 9pm est to watch Matt and JJ play more Night in the Woods. We’re looking forward to seeing you all then!

Have you been wondering lately about what we’ve been up to with 2064: Read Only Memories? The game may already be out on PS4 and Steam but we’ve been hard at work getting it ready for more places! We’ve been laser-focused on our Japanese release through Playism, and we’re getting very close to having it done. We’re hoping to be able to tell you an official date in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for news 👁

Speaking of Japan, we’re heading back! King Kronkus Matt Conn and Good Boy Racoon Kossio will both be at Bit Summit in May with the freshest build of 2064: Read Only Memories in Japanese. Considering how much work we’ve been putting into it, we’re super excited to let people see how far we’ve come since we were at Tokyo Game Show in September. We’ll let you know more about our booth location as soon as we can, so please come by and visit with us!

Indie Games Not to Miss from Japan’s BitSummit 2021

One never knows what they’ll find at an independent games exhibition. There are great new twists on old ideas, crazy genre-blending experiments, addicting bit-sized romps and games that entertain through sheer absurdity. We found all of these and more at BitSummit 2021 and just had to share a few more of the most interesting below. These could either be the best of the show or just somewhat interesting; it all depends on one’s gaming tastes. Still, they’re all at least worth a closer look.

The Four Most Awesome Games We Played at BitSummit 2021 in Japan

BitSummit 2021 is finally here and it’s gathered plenty of great creations despite being a smaller affair this year. For those not already in the know, BitSummit is a convention meant especially for independent game makers. While there are recognizable publishing umbrellas like Devolver Digital present, most of what one finds here are virtually unknown titles from much smaller operations. It’s kind of a shame that these games aren’t more widely known because they’ve all been a blast to try. Here are a few of the highlights from the show floor.

Nerd Nostalagia Pt II: Brave Wave’s Mohammed Taher

In Part I, our poll results reflected a particular attitude about gaming. Specifically, non-gamers saw gaming as an immature activity while those who do play video games sought something in games that other activities lack for: interactivity. Financially, gaming is a mainstay of the entertainment industry but what of its relationship with the other pillars of entertainment? Is there viability,…
