there are actually quite many here on polycount that work for Japanese companies in Japan, Although I'm freelancing from Japan at the moment, as it is a great place to live but a terrible place to work hehe, but I have previously worked for 4 companies here. If it's more about being japanese then working in japan then it's…
Damn, I really wish we had more connections with Japanese game developpers or artist. Here on PC, we got artist from all the corners of the world except Japanese (I think there's a few though). I'd like to here more insight from their part or just see some art dumps from their part from time to time.
Given the relatively low sales of PS4 in Japan, I'm seriously wondering how they intend to make that 10 million copies sold breakpoint. I really do feel this game would have benefitted from some changes to character designs. I watch anime and play lots of Japanese games and even for me this type of aesthetic is rather…

But yeah would love to see some private art of people from FROM,…

I'd go as far as saying that this kind of expertise is what…
Yeah that demo seems more like a test environment you get to play than the "Demo". But there is a decent amount there to play around with, i guess they expected you to play around rather than experience the game. I think the most enjoyable thing for me was fighting that boss at night in the rain. On the ps4 i played the…
Ok, so I've done an almost full 180 on those character designs. After seeing some recent footage of Ignis wearing a leotard shirt and silver gloves while doing JoJo poses I'm sold. This is so over the top and gaudy it's actually kind of amazing. I'm still very much worried about the state of the series, but hearing Tabata…
