Here's the link to the auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126781236620 May it go to someone who will care for it.

Sorry I didn't make a proper announcement video before the console release of Violet Wisteria. Anyways, you can now play Violet Wisteria on any modern console, in all regions. To celebrate, let's look at some strategies for stages 5 and 6.

Video strategy guide for stages 3 and 4 of Violet Wisteria.

This is a "video strategy guide" for those trying to improve at Violet Wisteria. It's a tough game, but getting to the ending will be the experience of a lifetime.

Hey everyone, this is my final update video about the development of Violet Wisteria. The game releases on February 9th in Japan, and whatever time it is in your part of the world. It's an exciting feeling, and to be honest I'm nervous as well. It will be out there vulnerable for the whole world to see. But if you truly love retro gaming, I think you'll find something to enjoy (and there's a new "practice" difficulty setting).

After a couple months of feedback, it was clear that the difficulty balance (or lack thereof) in Violet Wisteria had some major problems. I've released a new version of the demo that hopefully makes the game more approachable, and this video explains some of the changes and my plans for the last couple months of development.

After about a year and 9 months of work, Violet Wisteria is now far along enough to where I have a demo to share with the world. Challenge yourself to something completely unique and see if you can conquer the first two stages. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2018610/Violet_Wisteria/ Kanipro Twitter account https://mobile.twitter.com/kaniprogames

In a big step toward the final goal, the Steam page for Violet Wisteria is now public. You can wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2018610/Violet_Wisteria/ Thanks to those who have been following this journey and giving me words of encouragement. It keeps me going.

Thanks to those who watched the previous videos about my early steps into game development. After a year and half, I feel my game is far along enough to show the world. The title is Violet Wisteria, and the projected release date is 1st quarter 2023. I've made a dedicated Twitter account and Youtube channel for further updates on the game, so please follow those if you're interested. The Steam page isn't ready quite yet but very soon, possibly within a week. Twitter https://twitter.com/KaniProGames Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGtaNy9ebLvbf58XaNTPYRg

One last video with absolutely no environment assets and mostly haphazard sketches for enemies. I've done tons of work on this game over the past couple months and I had so much fun designing these past few levels I wanted to show you all what I'm up to.

A few people have probably already seen the text post I made complaining about the Valis Revival Project, but now you can listen to me complain about it for 10+ minutes. There's also a sort of update about my game at the end.

I've done an incredible amount of work on this game in the last couple months, including code for ALL (!) 25 enemies, a couple bosses, as well as platforming gimmicks and layouts of the first two stages. So now it's starting to become an actual game with structure. And it's damn fun to play.

Welcome back! Since the last video, I've implemented a title screen, option screen, cutscenes, an HUD, transitions, handling of lives, continues and health, checkpoints and death transitions. I also fixed the problem with the attack animation. That's quite a bit of work!

I said I would be taking the journey into learning game coding, and thankfully it wasn't all talk. In the beginning of November I started out with absolutely no knowledge. After many hours watching tutorials and reading up on functions, I've got the beginnings of a 2D platformer up and running. There's still a long ways to go of course, but I feel confident that I can take this all the way.

For patron eyes only, this video shows the final boss fight and elusive true ending of Super Magnetic Neo for the Dreamcast.

I've already posted this on all my other social media, but for those who haven't seen: I'm retiring from making videos. It's been a lot of fun, but also an enormous amount of work, and it's time for me to live for myself again. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed these videos.

After making the Hong Kong 97 history video, I knew the only way to top it would be to get Kurosawa himself on camera. While in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game Music Show, I mentioned the idea to him, and a few months and a lot of reassuring later, he agreed. This video discusses many of the other games he made before Hong Kong 97, his documentaries, his connection with Game Urara magazine, and much more.

Please considering becoming a patron and supporting the show https://www.patreon.com/ultrahealthyvideogamenerd Back when I met Kurosawa for the interview about Hong Kong 97, he told me the original ad for it was in a magazine called Game Labo. It appears he remembered incorrectly, as I wasn't able to find any information about it in any issue around the time of its release. However, we did finally find an ad for Hong Kong 97 in another magazine active around the same time called Game Urara.

Become a patron and support the show here: www.patreon.com/ultrahealthyvideogamenerd Because my experience with retro gaming has been so focused on discovering little known games that deserve to be known better, I have to admit it irks me hearing so many people say things like "Super Mario Bros 3 is the best game on the NES/of all time". So I'm here to set the record straight. There are countless games on the NES with complex platforming and nuanced artwork that make for a richer experience, and I hope with this video we can put the ill informed worship of Mario to a rest once and for all.

But I've done the next best thing and acquired a physical copy in good condition of Rocman X, a Taiwanese developed NES/Famicom game by Sachen, the makers of Little Red Hood. As you can probably tell by the name, it's a shameless ripoff of Mega Man, down to the box art being stolen from the Japanese cover of Rockman X for the Super Famicom.

The magazine was called Users Gallery and was only sent out to fan club members, so there weren't anywhere near as many copies printed as normal gaming magazines like Famitsu. Due to my love of the Valis games and many others produced by Nihon Telenet, I always keep an eye out for people selling them, and I struck gold when I found a set of 12 on a flea market site.

After playing through all the Marios and Castlevanias, it's natural that we would try to dig deeper and discover other great games that aren't as easily recognizable. While everything is relative, I'm a little skeptical as to how "hidden" some games being called hidden gems truly are.

Put simply, it's collectible because the voices were done by a famous celebrity who died young. Just a note about the information I've given about Iijima Ai in the video: I'm presenting it the way it's been presented to the public, through her book, wikipedia articles, TV shows and interviews. I chose not to make any judgements about which information is true and which is questionable. To be honest, the book is half novel and I don't believe everything in it.

It's almost a museum of classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s, and is important in preserving game history. The person working there was kind enough to allow me to take some video but I didn't want to intrude too much so the video is a little rushed. Still, you can see just how many classic game cabinets (and particularly shooters) they have. Also, I had no idea at the time that Skycurser was a recently developed game meant to emulate 90s era shooters, probably a western project. I think I actually had the most fun playing Metal Hawk, which emulates being in the cockpit of a jet by having a seat that moves in all directions. I had always thought it was just a 2D shooter.

Picked up a rare Famicom game shortly after buying my video camera so I made an unboxing video. As you can probably tell, I was still getting the lighting and settings right.
