Holy shit those armored high heels
God I love these people

 

[LRKD]

I KNEEL! Can't wait to see vanillaware knock it out of the park again!

 

[BossLackey]

Vanillaware's art style is just...so freaking good.

 

[Danjin44]

Its beautiful!!!

 

[poodaddy]

I see the beautiful artwork of food that makes me hungry while I play is in, if wouldn't be Vanillaware if it wasn't.

That's the best part of these games for my wife and I haha. I'll be pressuring her to make stuff from this game too soon.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

This looks great, but I wonder if they'll ever return to something like Dragon's Crown. It's a shame the game was dragged for its exaggerated art style. There really hasn't been anything else like it.

Agreed. That style took a ton of chances and I think it really paid off. I still don't understand why people were so uptight about the style. Oh no! Boobs! Gimme a fuckin' break.

IIRC Dragon's Crown is their biggest success ever. I think they just make the games they want and don't seem to be prone to make sequels.

That said I agree with you: I would love a DC2, that game was phenomenal and I spent around 120h on it.

My wallet in february-march

I do recommend Sword of the Vagrant while you wait for more Vanillaware goodness.

While the game has flaws it has charm and is very much so inspired by Vanillaware's style.

At the end of March, my wallet will be singing Requiems haha.

Interesting! I had no idea this existed.

It aint no Vanillaware, specially the backgrounds but its a decent enough romp.

Vanillaware has just released a beautiful New Year's card art on X.

 

[Danjin44]

My hype for Unicorn Overlord is through the roof! Vanillaware are absolutely treasure in gaming industry.

Looks like not from Unicorn Overlord. Another teaser? Dragon's Crown 2?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, I posted it here since I didn't find any better and/or more recent Vanillaware thread than this one.

This is the original tweet:

Its not, Vanillaware doesn't make sequels.

 

[NanaMiku]

Ok then, Dragon's Crown spiritual successor lol.
Odin Sphere was Princess Crown successor

Anyway, The image is for New Year Greetings. Vanillaware always does it every year (usually drawn by George Kamitani). For 2013, Kamitani made this

It could be but before that I hope Vanillaware finds way to bring Muramasa to modern systems, like they did with GrimGrimore.

Here's the cover artwork which will be used for the OST.

Made a screenshot where they showcased the food. As always in Vanillaware games, the food looks incredibly tasty.

Very subdued designs compared to Kamitani's usual stuff, but as always, the art style is impeccable. I'm really looking forward to this. I was iffy a bit on the battle system at first, but it looks fun after I saw some gameplay previews.

Man it's painful that Vanillaware just refuse to release on PC. This game looks like it was made for M+KB controls.

please no more tease ( T^T)b

Because this game is not handled by him. The director is Takafumi Noma, a programmer in Vanillaware. For this game, he is the director, programmer, and lead artist.

I love that the Deluxe edition doesn't have anything game play related which is an easy skip for me. FromSoftware does the same thing. Respect.

This is Vanillaware's take on SRPG which is dream come true for me, so I'm absolutely all for the gameplay they going for here.

No, what I meant is the gameplay of the card game, not the video game lol

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Thanks for reminding me to pre-order this. Gotta support Vanillaware when I can.
