Well definitely have to check this out, had my eye on it for a while and saw all the previous mentions, love creative things like this, will definitely check it out and invest when possible.

This is what I always loved about SEGA, the style and aesthetics, it spoke to me from the very start and it all just clicked in together nicely, it felt raw but native, and that unmistakable spirit has left its mark in the industry to this day you can still instantly recognise.

ありがとうございます！

That poster turned out well. I approve. Make sure the AI knows it did well, okay? ^^

It would be rather ironic if the game gets patched so much by the actual people at Huga that the AI-made parts shrink more and more. Maybe that was the plan all along?

蒲田の小さな居酒屋の片隅で、構想を聞くや酔った穴田さんが瞬時に描いたこの４枚のラフを見た時、それまで漠然としていたゲームのイメージが一挙に具現化してゆき、それは自分の中にあった妄想が確信に変わる瞬間だったと思う。あれから40年か... #源平討魔伝

The Steam Autumn Sale is here! 🔥 As a former SEGA developer, I want to keep alive the spirit I personally inherited from SEGA in my own way. To me, that true "SEGA DNA" isn't about playing it safe. It’s about taking rebellious, unsettling, ridiculously anarchy-driven ideas that nobody else would dare touch, powering through them with raw force, and slamming that burning heat right into the player’s hands. That was the SEGA I fell in love with back then. Wanting to carry that torch on my own might just be my personal delusion. But if no one else is going to do it—then I will. It manifests mostly as outdated 2D pixel art. It might be wildly aggressive, chaotic, and full of rough edges. But this is what I want to make. Why? Because I love it to this day. Check out my creations during the sale and grab the demo for my newest title! 👇 🏎️ DAWNCAR [30% OFF] 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/4… 🛸 Girl from Gunma Kai [50% OFF] 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3… 🔥 [NEW DEMO] HIJURA SCARLET GEAR👉 store.steampowered.com/app/5… #SteamSale #SEGA #IndieGame #PixelArt #RetroGaming

「緋修羅」体験版をアップデートしました！ ぜひプレイしてみてください！ store.steampowered.com/app/5… （緋修羅261002ver.改善部分） ・自機のマズルフラッシュ、リコイルを追加しました ・近接攻撃、ダッシュを微調整しました ・各種ボイス、デモを実装しました ・2面ボス「タワーコング」を更新しました ・3面ボス「メカニカルフィッシュ」を追加しました ・4面ボス「守礼ウォーカー」を調整しました ・10万点ごとにエクステンドします ・全体的に遊びやすくなっています ・ボムでゴリ押しができるゲームなので、ボムを残した場合のボーナスをかなり強化してあります （開発大首領よりのメッセージ） だんだんデモが実装されつつある、大まかなストーリーはつかめるのではと思う！　タワーコングはほぼ別物だ！　楽しんでくれ！　火炎放射器とボム連発で簡単にクリアは可能であり、ハイスコア狙いでこれらを封じるとかなり別のシビアなゲームとなる。ダッシュと近接をうまく使いこなせ！ The "HIJURA SCARLET GEAR" Demo has been updated! Give it a play and let me know what you think! [Updates in the Oct 2, 2026 Build] Added muzzle flashes and weapon recoil for the player character. Fine-tuned melee attacks and the dash mechanic. Implemented various character voices and story cutscenes. Overhauled the Stage 2 boss: "Tower Kong". Added the Stage 3 boss: "Mechanical Fish". Rebalanced the Stage 4 boss: "Shurei Walker". Extra lives (Extends) granted every 100,000 points. Overall playability and quality-of-life improvements. Since bomb-spamming is a viable tactic, we've significantly boosted the end-of-stage bonus for unused bombs to reward high-risk play! [Message from the Lead Developer] With cutscenes starting to go in, you should now be able to get a solid grasp of the overall story! Tower Kong is practically a whole new fight—hope you enjoy it! You can easily brute-force your way through using the flamethrower and spamming bombs, but if you hold back on them to chase a high score, it turns into a completely different, brutal game. Master your dash and melee attacks to prevail!

This is a pretty cool idea for a movie. I will certainly look into getting this one someday, maybe even review.

Congratulations!

Now this is AI use I like! Efficiency, not replacement! He's using the skills he has, AND AI together to accelerate what he's already skilled at, and then some!

Final Re:Quest is FINALLY streaming on Amazon! It’s the world’s very first full-pixel-art movie. I spent 10 years of my life—from 2014 to 2024—bringing this vision to life. If you only know me from SEGAGAGA or ASTRO BOY, this shows a completely different side of my creative soul. Please check it out! amazon.co.jp/dp/B0HJ6W995M

Here’s how I use AI in my workflow. These are glowing, red-hot spike hazards for a background. I drew the initial rough sketch first. Previously, I would have rendered the details by hand—taking maybe 30 minutes. And keep in mind, this is just a tiny background element. Spending time rendering it only to find it doesn't match the background environment is a huge waste of time. By running it through AI, it gets rendered in seconds. I can quickly place it in-game to test the fit, then manually fine-tune it. For me, AI is simply a tool—no different from a ruler or a compass. Nothing more, nothing less.
