Is she pregnant and hoping that saiyan sea green-blue is the father? But lo! Bandaid-Boy banged her a lot. Who will it be? Meanwhile the evil eyed demon slut has plans for them all in her sex dungeon of pain.

Ok... that's my picture interpretation. Maybe I'll read about it now.

Edit... yeah.... I wasn't even close.

Porcus and Purrsula. Oh! Its a furry pet adventure.

After Rune Factory 5, I'm not even willing to entertain anything else from that company until I see at least one ritual suicide from a c-level executive in apology first.

DXM2 though, I'm hyped for that. The mecha renaissance is approaching.

we don't talk about nu-Hawken in this household

It's a cool little game. Certainly nowhere near as together of mastercrafted as say Link To The Past, but it certainly was a worthy first effort.

DT2/2-2 comes out June 9th, interview with the original director of the games can be found on Gematsu article if you want to read more.

Unfortunately, it seems like Shiravune still haven't discussed about alternative stores than Johren yet, however some Discord messages have indicated they're fine with a "drm-free" version, so long as they're contacted by the store who might be interested. So I come here to partially beg for anybody who cares to add to the wish list for each game below so GOG is at least aware. I'm not even sure how much GOG takes into consideration regarding their wish list site these days but hey, it's worth a shot. Who knows, maybe they'll throw other stuff like Dohna Dohna or the Utawarerumono games on GOG in the future if something happens.

What sort of player would you recommend Dungeon Travelers to?

Washimi: “Aquaplus fans will enjoy these games, of course, but dungeon crawler fans are going to have a great time too. We’ve crafted some pretty challenging dungeons that might even test dungeon-crawling veterans, especially if they want to 100 percent everything, so by all means, please come put your skills to the test.

Great article, and it's true. Don't let the cute girls fool you: this series will bust your balls in more ways than one maybe

Dungeon Travelers 2 and 2-2 released

costs 8 dollars if you don't have Johren account and buy points (300 sign up, 500+500 5 dollars 300+150 3 dollars)

I bought it using their store coins. It's a curious system, it's meant to work like a gacha currency shared across their hosted games and create dopamine for heavy spenders, but if you're just there to buy their "Premium Games" (real games like the DT series) you can make out like a bandit with the first timer discounts and ignore it afterwards. Don't let the excess coins spook you either, that's just meant to push users towards further engagement to not let them go to "waste".

Alternatively, you can just buy them outright with real currency, but you don't get the full discounts that way.

Fan project: Final Fantasy 6: Tactics

Might give off a more heavy atmosphere if you are a spending a lot of time in lengthy SPRG battles with the moody music, whereas in the original game you are moving between battle screens and zones and between different zones and cutscenes a lot, so the music is changing frequently. You would probably lose out on a lot of the presentation value of the original game, ie the dramatic posing of the characters in battle against full sprite artwork monsters and travelling around the overworld through the big pixel backgrounds.
