Judgment is Not Delayed!

I was worried about the western release date for Judgment after sales were halted in Japan due to one of the actors being arrested.

Since they hadn’t said anything and it seemed probable that they’d completely replace both his voice and character model, I thought a delay was likely.

However, Judgment has not been delayed!

The official Twitter account announced this morning that Hamura’s character model and Japanese voice will be changed, but gave the release date as still being June 25.

Judgment is one of my most-anticipated games of 2019, so I’m happy it hasn’t been delayed! Hopefully this means sales will resume in Japan soon, too. The whole situation is unfortunate, but at least it didn’t do too much damage.

In other news, unrelated to Judgment, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was announced for 2020. I’ve had the original Bloodlines in my backlog for years now. Maybe it’s about time I played it.

My Story Is Available Now in Domino Lady Vol. 3

Last June, I learned about pulp fiction and the resurgence of pulp fiction heroes.

Now I’m excited to announce that my first pulp fiction story is available now in Airship 27’s Domino Lady Volume 3.

The Domino Lady was a masked heroine who fought crime and corruption in a series of pulp fiction stories written in 1936. This new collection is the third volume of new Domino Lady stories released by the pulp fiction publisher Airship 27.

Domino Lady Volume 3 includes five stories, including my short story “The Domino Lady Takes the Case,” in which she takes on a secret investigation when a friend dies under suspicious circumstances.

It is available now from Amazon, as well as directly from the publisher (scroll down to find it; they’re listed alphabetically by series/character).

You can also add it on Goodreads.

I’ve gotten pretty interested in pulp fiction, so I hope this is only the first of many pulp stories I can share with you.

If you’re a fan of the Domino Lady or interested in giving some new pulp fiction a try, check out Domino Lady Volume 3. Don’t forget to leave a review and let me know your thoughts on “The Domino Lady Takes the Case.”

Destiny Connect Was Almost a Horror Game

We’ve talked a few times now about Destiny Connect, an upcoming turn-based JRPG that features time travel… and apparently it started out as quite a different game.

According to an interview translated by Siliconera, Destiny Connect was originally planned to have a scarier atmosphere, more like a horror game.

It would follow a girl who entered a dream-like world and met a robot there. Instead of involving time travel, it would be more of an adventure, and “the world would slowly break down like in Alice in Wonderland.”

This might explain why there are no side quests, as we discussed last time, since the original vision for the game was so different.

Actually, the characters journeying through a dream-like world with a horror atmosphere sounds pretty interesting to me. I almost wish they had stuck with that version. What do you think of Destiny Connect and its original premise?

(And speaking of horror JRPGs, I wonder when we’ll hear more about Ushiro…)
