I remember this game being discussed in one of your previous threads. Back then, it seemed like a genius idea to me, and that really hasn't changed much. It's a bummer that there is no translation out there. I'd genuinely love to know what this game is all about.

This kind of audio novel game seems like a decent fit for mobile devices. Apparently there's a few people making that kind of thing, but none seem very big.

As usual, Eno was ahead of his time.

I'm glad there wasn't a surprise downer or twist to Sega having donated consoles and the game to blind people

The Wikipedia entry is a little off. Izumi is an orphan who lives with her grandfather; he died the very morning the game begins, making Izumi late to (elementary) school. Izumi, who'd only just transferred to her current school, tells Hiroshi that with her guardian gone, she'll have to transfer schools again as she moves to Tokyo to live with her uncle's family. She leaves as soon as summer vacation starts--which is tomorrow. Realizing this is the last day they'll have together, HIroshi suggests the two of them run off together later that day. Izumi asks if that means they're eloping (defined as "when a man and woman go somewhere together") and Hiroshi says yeah, they are. "And our elopement'll never end. Even if summer vacation ends, it'll always be summer vacation for you and me." The entire script is here if you know Japanese or feel like throwing it into Google Translate. I don't have the time to do it myself.

In the US in 2012, there were an estimated 6,670,300 blind adults, and 659,700 blind children. That comes out to about 2.5% of the population, which is at least moderately significant.

There's a couple of games called Papa Sangre and Papa Sangre II on mobile that are all audio. And they aren't just audio novels, but actually use directional audio to have you play the game by controlling towards or away from certain things, running from enemies, etc. Its a neat concept.

There was a kickstarter for an audio game. It was an RPG for the blind. Can't remember the name of it though or if it got funded.

supergreatfriend posted:Interlude: Real Sound: Kaze no Regret - Youtube | Download This reminds me very much of Terror T.R.A.X. back in "The Day(tm)." If no one remembers, it was a CYOA in Audio CD form published by, of all people, WotC in the mid 90's. You would listen to the story and it would say something like "If you want to chase the Vampire, go to Track 14. If you want to do the Funky Chicken, go to Track 41." Etc. There were five of them. One for Vampires, Werewolves, a Mummy, the Creature, and finally an FMV game with the finest acting budgeting would allow. Good times. Good times.

Blindside http://www.blindsidegame.com/ Interesting concept, weak execution. I've played, but I have trouble because the game, in my experience, does a poor job of communicating when you are on or off rails.

In the trivia at the end, please tell me I wasn't the only one who was wondering what the huge green space dildo was doing there. Is that the gun? Jesus christ.

That's not the gun, you can see the gun here: http://www.satakore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=67&start=10 . I'm going to assume that's the Enemy model (with bodily fluids). It doesn't really look like the Enemies that have been in the game during the brief moments they're visible, but I'm going to say that's what it is. I'm going to assume that the game didn't come with a big green dildo.

I believe it was Niggurath in his LP who mentioned that the spaceship is probably designed to look like a human heart. I would say that the "E0" logo is kinda-sorta-if you really squint modeled to resemble a human heart shape as well (ovoid shape with rectangles/tubes sticking out of one corner). Didn't pick up before that Eno followed D with E (0). Wonder if D2 was originally planned to be titled F-something. supergreatfriend posted:I'm going to assume that the game didn't come with a big green dildo. Why?

The heart idea does make sense, that would explain the towers sticking out the top.Blenheim posted:Why? Well, I guess I shouldn't assume that. There's more pictures of the limited edition here: http://www.satakore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=67 , including another angle of the maybe-dildo.  Not conclusive.

I think this is as good a time as any to repost my favorite fanart from the D & D2 LP. I'd say it still holds equally true for Enemy Zero Laura.

...So I guess Kenji watched Blade Runner a few times. Also spheroid shapes are apparently one of the most ideal spacecraft designs because they have more volume per surface area. It's just that a big non-descript sphere doesn't look as cool as the Millennium Falcon so Sci-fi writers prefer to get more creative.

I love that bio-weapons come up so often in games, because I don't think anyone anywhere has ever had such a scheme. Like, did the Dutch colonists that discovered Komodo Dragons decide to attempt to train them and use them in warfare? Because apparently that's all space corporations think about.

I like to believe the reveal that Laura is an android was foreshadowed by her complete lack of nipples in the opening scene.

Wait, hold on. The fact that she forgot she was an android is a PROBLEM? Wouldn't knowing she's an android cancel out all these childhood memories he gave her? They wouldn't mean anything if she knew they were fake, right? While we're at it, how do you implant a robot with a neckburster? Did the monster just rip through metal to jam that in there?

I'm assuming the metal parts are just her skeleton. She seems to still have some biological parts such as "Lungs" and "Skin." Also, I'm sure on its home planet, the Enemy has to deal with other robot surrogate mothers. Can... Can I hug Kenji Eno if he came to my home?

I don't think Kenji Eno really gave this game's plot much thought and just wanted to cram Blade Runner and Alien together because he thought they were cool.

From what I can tell Kenji Eno was kind of like Ed Wood, he couldn't make a good video game to save his life but he had poo poo tons of spirit.

You know Laura, I understand times are hard without the captain around to give you sage advice, but maybe you should consider removing the hideous alien fetus from your throat and shoulder BEFORE you go home to earth?

If Laura knows she is an android, why does she not just rip that alien embryo out of her neck and stomp it?

I've only just finished watching part 5, but I wanted to note how despite the dated 3D graphics, Laura's crying over David looked more human than what I've seen in most games.

drowZebra posted:If Laura knows she is an android, why does she not just rip that alien embryo out of her neck and stomp it? Anyway, Laura being something that was only activated relatively recently might explain how awkward she is with things. Even if she has some memories implanted in her head, she's still doing them for the first time. Of course that seems like a bit of a design flaw to me, as even if they were androids I don't think I'd want to send newborns to catch an invisible alien. As for whether or not it would be a good idea to wipe the android memory out, I'd say not. Even if she survives this thing and the company doesn't just treat her like property the android thing would come up later in her life sooner or later, and it wouldn't necessarily be any easier to deal with then. Granted, being the sole survivor on a ship full of invisible aliens is a horrible time to have an existential crisis and distractions like "Who am I?" might make for some bad decision making, but having somebody root around inside of your mind during an alien attack isn't exactly better in that regard. Especially if an alien could sneak up on them and strike during the process.

Come on. There's no way George didn't program Laura and David to go at it. He almost certainly had a video feed from David's eye streaming directly to his hard drive.

For all she (and we for that matter) knows there might be some vital tubes or wires around there that her positronic brain depends on.

For being specifically designed to catch these alien monsters, Laura and David seem singularly bad at being able to catch these monsters. They're not super strong or durable, they don't have infra-red vision or anything to see them... they seem like they're just really expensive humans.
