Here's a catchup update of selected tweets, covering topics from games to deceptively perverted jokes. Previously covered tweets will not be repeated here.
Keep in mind that ZUN has been working on DDC this whole time. :flowerpower:
Summary of what's important:
When developing Touhou games, ZUN uses a PlayStation 2 gamepad.==================
June 10:
ZUN: Playing [Shin Megami Tensei IV]. Feeling satisfied after finally beating New Game+. I haven't concentrated on a single game for a long period like that in some while.
Okonogi: Did you choose Chaos or Neutral for New Game+?
ZUN: . I'm pretty much satisfied.
June 11, E3 Press Conference time:
ZUN: Hmm, PS4 and Xbox One are both so rectangular~. Can they transform and combine?
Engadget Japan: "PlayStation 4 appearance revealed" This picture is not a distortion; it really looks like that.
ZUN: I can tolerate lots of things, but I'll feel rather bad if the PS4 can't fit into my shelf due to those sharp corners.
ZUN: Hey~ Don't you want a good game like Bayonetta~
==================
From the night of June 15:
ZUN: Seems the wife will begin playing golf next month. Her enthusiasm is extraordinary. We were only drinking beer in a pub a moment ago, and now we are lining up for a golf simulator.
ZUN: So we are now playing golf while drunk.
ZUN: Drunken golf looks like that.
Note: As you may remember, playing golf is an important part of salarymen's socializing in Japan.
June 14 and 16:
Meetings. June 16 is the first post-release HM design meeting, which I already reported in
this thread.
June 18:
ZUN: Keyboards are consumables. The main reason of consumption is alcohol.
ZUN: I couldn't take it any more, so I switched to this keyboard. It's very comfortable. [Link to Logitech's washable keyboard K310]
June 20-21 midnight:
More meetings. At 1 AM, June 22:
ZUN: The meeting involves Muslim(s) who can drink alcohol. Because their sect is one that allows drinking but forbids becoming drunken, we can only drink this much.
ZUN: I've become even more mystified about religions.
==================
It's time to vote for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election! Politics lead to politically incorrect jokes?
heppoko: My voting location is neither an elementary school nor a middle school. I'm in the losers' bracket.
ZUN: Mine is in a kindergarten.
heppoko: Is this the meaning of winner at life?
BTW, I was wrong to call heppoko "younger"; he's 37 this year, one year older than ZUN.
==================
At 13 PM, June 27:
ZUN: It'll be great if Etrian Odyssey Untold can be delayed for one more month. By that time my work is already done.
At 16 PM:
ZUN: Huh? Index is bankrupt? On the release day of Etrian Odyssey Untold...
Index is the current parent company of Atlus; they seemed to have bought Atlus so they could stave off their financial disaster with a cash cow. Atlus is now in a worrying situation.
On June 28:
I have no time for playing Etrian Odyssey Untold, so I ordered some foliage plants. This way, I can turn my workshop into a green labyrinth.
==================
Another PoriPori Club broadcast took place on June 29. During the broadcast,
ZUN revealed that when developing his own games, he always uses a PlayStation 2 gamepad.The second day, a strange thing happened. Yoshinaga, member of PoriPori Club and a famous blogger, announced on twitter he is getting married with the wife of Hara Tetsuo (the artist of Fist of the North Star).
ZUN: I woke up to discover Mr. Yoshinaga is getting married, with Mr. Hara Tetsuo's wife. I have no idea what he's saying at all, so I'll just consider it a dream.
==================
July 2:
The game-themed pub A-Button will be celebrating its 5 years of running on August 18. ZUN has been invited as guest in a talkshow during the event.
At night of the same day:
ZUN: The wife will be travelling to Hawaii with her company tomorrow, but has yet to return home from work. In the living room there is only an empty suitcase. Is such preparation really OK?
ZUN: She herself seems only concerned about playing golf for the first time in Hawaii (laugh)
