![]() In mostly unrelated news, by the way, I’d like to draw your attention to another grass roots sequel campaign going on right now. These meetings have got to be a good sign, right? Did the event do much to move along plans for the proposed sequel to Moon? I’m not seeing any evidence of that so far but it’s early days yet. If, like me, you missed the event then you can catch a 2 hour recording here or browse GhaleonQ’s screen grabs of the auction here. A fairly large group of ex-Lovedelic team members gathered for fun and festivities in front of an online audience of around 800 die hard fans and auctioned off a bunch of rare, often unique, Moon and Lovedelic paraphernalia. I actually missed it since I was so busy at work (my last day before Christmas!) but all accounts indicate that the show was a huge success. So the live Lovedelic reunion show has been and gone. Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing what this studio comes up with. Yoshiro Kimura, a longtime Wada collaborator, left Grasshopper around the same time, so I assumed that he may also be involved with Toybox. The studio’s slogan is “We are gaming for Love, Peace and Earth”, which as a few people have noted is very Lovedelic. Now he’s on the scene again with a new studio called Toybox. A UK release was announced some time ago through Konami, though a firm release date is yet to be set.īack when Harvert Moon (and Little King’s Story) creator Yasuhiro Wada left Grasshopper Manufacture, he went quiet for a little while. I’m sure it’ll still be a great game though, and if I had a Vita I’d definitely play it. The game is published by Konami and developed by the recently merged MarvelousAQL so I’m not sure if this strictly counts as ‘Lovedelic Life’ game. I don’t believe Yoshiro Kimura is and the permanently closed Cing certainly isn’t. What’s unclear is whether any of the original staff are involved. If you’ve played it then do let me know what it’s like in the comments below.ĭid I mention there’s a sequel to Little King’s Story? Whatever, it’s on its way to PlayStation Vita at the end of March (in Japan) and seems to be largely the same game but with a slightly more mature art style. Dillon’s Rolling Western was announced a long time ago now so Nintendo has at least taken the time to polish it up. I haven’t tried it yet for a couple of reasons – I don’t really care for tower defense games, and I’m low on cash – but I’d like to check this out purely because of Vanpool’s involvement. If you have time then watch this Iwata Asks video with Motiyama, in which he explains Chibi-Robo’s influence on Freakyforms.ĭillon’s Rolling Western, meanwhile, was co-developed by Vanpool and only recently went live on the e-shop. Maybe we can consider it a Moriyama meme in the same way Kenichi Nishi’s dog appeared in most of his games. There’s even a nice Chibi reference in there – remember the way a tin pan would randomly land on Chibi-Robo’s head when he tried to recharge? Well the joke is used again here. It’s made by Hiroshi Moriyama the co-director of Chibi-Robo and has a similar feel in the way its world’s horizons gradually expand. The former is a rather ingenious little platform game that combines user generated content with Animal Crossing style fetch quests. If you have a 3DS then get yourself online and have a look at Freakyforms: Your Creations Alive! and Dillon’s Rolling Western. □ģDS e-shop delivers Lovedelic related games And the person writing the translation is none other than Steve Martin. Actually, it looks as though the person doing the hacking is the same as on the new Captain Rainbow team. ![]() But enough about my problems… It seems that while this old Moon translation stalled, a new one is making much better progress. ![]() A few people have been in touch to tell me about this, as far back as last October, but I’ve been a little bit distracted – not least by the fact that I no longer have the net at home. ![]()
