Gamasutra has posted a brief but informative interview with Yoshiro Kimura about his work on Punchline’s kissing RPG Chulip and his upcoming RTS/adventure Project O. Check out the interview for proof that it’s not just Kenichi Nishi who’s keeping the Lovedelic spirit alive.

Just when you think you know everything about a game, along comes some clever clogs to make you realise you’re just like all the other clueless idiots. This is exactly what happened today when I learned that I’ve been pronouncing ArchimeDS wrong.

Apologies for the lack of updates, folks. I’ve been in Japan for the last two weeks and haven’t been able to get near a computer for any decent length of time.
Anyway, I’m back now and you can expect lots of fresh posts in the next few days.
