Because honestly, it saves me from having to type a lot.
And gives me more time to work on finishing the game. While the artist will probably get mad at me posting his early sketches publicly, I just can’t help sharing how awesome his work is.
This, along with a lot more other great things ended up in my inbox today (some related to Arvale, others telling me about a great sale on magical pills which will make me stronger in the bedroom, which I could really use because I often get tired when doing housework… oh, oh–… that bedroom? Nevermind, then)
I didn’t want to give it away all at once, so I thought I’d just show this really tiny peek of one of the character’s rough sketches.
I’ll jump right in. That’s a garlic bagel with a ¥60 discount.
They discount things constantly in Japan because they want their customers to feel appreciated.
Arvale:TM Episode II is coming along quite nicely and I just thought I’d share some screenshots with some of the new locales and describe some of the new features in the upcoming game.
Above is a shot from the Melonchi Mines. A mystical place where Dwarves hang out and mine precious ores all day. Why they mine precious ores all day is kind of a mystery, even to many of the Dwarves.
People were curious about what nattou (納豆) really looks like when I posted about it awhile back. So I made a video of me dissecting a container of it.
Natto is a staple food for many in Japan, especially in the Kanto region. It’s made from fermented soybeans using the bacteria called Bacillus subtilis. It’s also well known for it’s overpowering (some say gross) smell and it’s sticky, spiderweb, mushy-like texture.
