HUH. Well, that's interesting. Skeb have a partnership with the corporate sponsor of Misskey to add misskey.io as a login type. Skeb used to be Twitter login only, which I always thought was a huge risk given, you know. Everything. A few months ago they added an email login option, so you can use Skeb without Twitter, and now adding misskey.io on top of it really shows how much Skeb are trying to get away from Twitter.

The announcement specifically calls out the random suspensions Japanese twitter users have been hit with and makes it pretty clear Skeb sees Twitter as a giant risk. Which, honestly, feels right? It makes sense artists are worried!

昨今、海外の大手SNSの方針転換により日本のクリエイターを中心にSNSアカウントの凍結が相次いでいます。
Skebでは、クリエイター支援の観点から、日本のクリエイターの発表の場が制限されつつある現状を大変憂慮していました。
昨今の事情を踏まえ、クリエイター支援の一環として、Skebを運営する株式会社スケブは2024年3月1日より
Misskey.ioを運営する株式会社MisskeyHQと3年間のスポンサー契約を締結し、同社に対し継続的な支援を実施する運びとなりました。

This absolutely tops the list of games I'd pay practically any amount of money to get my hands on. It's Cyber Soldier Sharaku, a Japanese adventure game for CD-i, by a tiny Mac game studio that made a few really great Hypercard games. There's a few minutes of footage of this on Youtube, which shows it's got absolutely excellent animation and what seems like a pretty interesting story. The director and primary artist would go on to found an indie art studio called Studio Mangosteen, who are still around today, and who made two of my all-time favourite computer games.

Of course the CD-i bombed horribly in Japan and this sold probably under 100 copies, so tracking it down is hard. It's undumped, and I've only seen a couple copies sell in the past decade. One of these days, maybe!

I am proud to formally announce our newest game project, Ultraprocessor Ribbon! It is a loving homage to 90s/00s PC games, but one that still looks far into the future. Fast-paced, soft, edgy, delicate, and gay as fuck. So gay that it's 18+!

However, this time I'm not alone, for I have formed what you could call a doujin circle called Demuresoft. I have nothing but incredible things to say about this fantastic team of talented creatives; they're a group I'm honored to be working with to bring this otaku dream to life.

Oh, and guess what? We have a demo available RIGHT NOW:
