That... looks like a real ESP Ra.De. 2.
And I think the picture looks kinda 3D-like, but hopefully it's not.

Looks like Joker Jun to me.

I'm really, really looking forward to this, gotta go wank off now... Very Happy

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was Alice Clone at the end of ESPRade. Way too demonic for that though. But I'm w/ CIT... looks very Joker Jun-ish.

So is Cave done with ships and mecha?

According to Mihara, a post on Mixi (which you can't view w/o an account) says that Cave's upcoming game has the working title Death Lolita, and that they are looking at hiring some people for Cosplay.

Is Cave really reduced to that kind of pandering to survive as a company? I'm open to artistic freedom but you can only take so many teenage girls in your shooting games. Maybe you guys living in Japan are numb to it by now. Smile

I like the staircase and the portrait of the former master, reminds me of C. D. Ward and the likes.

Some screens in the new Arcadia (nicked off kobayan).

Gotta say, the game looks gorgeous!

Wild speculations ensue about why they're shooting from right to left:

I'm guessing it might use a Zero Gunner type rotation system?

Arcadia speculates that it might not have forced scrolling at all.

Anyone else a bit disappointed that they're interviewing Joker Jun & no Ikeda? This is the biggest shocker he's done since...well... Progear pretty much.

The other (hopefully not) scenario is that now that Ikeda is the head of programming he's got his hands in a little bit of everything, instead of a lot of one thing. I don't see him taking on a job that doesn't allow him to continue putting out his flavor of game though.

Yeah, that would sorta suck. I really hope he's still going to put out his style of games (all programmed by him), at least once every year or so.

What else has he done?

Recap · Borderline recluse Joined: 13 Apr 2004 Posts: 1073

He's an oldie at Cave. He worked on Dungun Feveron, for instance.

Nice link. It states in the second question that it is not a danmaku, and he was told by Ikeda & Inoue that it should "not be Cave-ish".

I'll try to whip out the rest later.

EDIT: What the fuck? One of the Cosplayers was born in 1994... the "veteran" one in 1987. doubt

Here's my quicky translation:

Itamu: What was your role on the current title?

Takashi Ishimura: I'm the game's main programmer, that is to say, the main programmer of the game's main program.

So the bottom line is "main", I take it.

Pease tell us what the concept and characteristics of the game are.

To put it in simple terms, not danmaku, but rather to achieve the refreshingly pleasent feeling of destroying enemies. [We were trying to aks ourselves] what feels really refreshing? That kind of thing. Following Ikeda-san and graphics-president Junya Inoue-san's expos�, we attempt to break free from "Cave-ness" with this title.

What on earth is a graphics-president...

If you look at the released pictures, Death Smiles really conjures quite a different image than the previous work Muchi Muchi Pork. Could you elaborate on this?

Using graphics-president Junya Inoue's ideas of "gothic horror, horizontal screen, buzy with human characters, geared towards casual gamers", we aim for something different from the previous works.

Well, so what is a graphics-president...?

If you talk of Cave shooting, manic bulletspray is the selling point, so will there be pretty manic bulletspray this time? Although, I think it would be pretty good if it's a game that beginning shooter players could also enjoy.

As this time there won't be as much bulletspray as with the previous works, we'd also like to broadly appeal to users that have up to now been kept away by bullet-filled screens.

...

During development, was there anything that you paid particular attention too, or that was particularly tough?

Compared to Mushihimesama Futari there was twice as much graphics data, so managing the memory use was most difficult. Actually it's not exactly twice as much, but almost twice.

Almost twice as much?...

Please give your message to Cave-fans and gamers.

Rather than danmaku, please endulge in the refreshing destruction of enemies. Although, I think there'll still be some danmaku too.

So which one is it going to be!?
