ITT: VanillaWare. Show me some Odin Sphere or Grim Grimore!!
VanillaWare is this cutie's name?
>>333095Her name is Alice, the developer behind both Odin Sphere and Grim Grimoire is Vanillaware.
Forgot to add, they made Princess Crown too. The artist for OS and GG is George Kamitani.
My bad, I forgot Princess Crown for the Sega Saturn. Was that ever realised in the US?
>>333112Don't know, probably not.
>>333114Well that sucks. I'm looking forward to future work from VanillaWare however.

>>333118Depends on how well Odin Sphere and Grim Grimoire do. I think the former took about 10 years to make, or so I heard.
Chibi Oswald.
>>333122WHAT?! That's ridiculous!!
>>333127That's what I've heard. Apparently even with their neat joint animation (to avoid the even more costly full animations) it still took a while.
>>333130I can't say THAT'S surprising. The game's art is gorgeous. It's a (personal) relief to finally see a good 2d and 3d blend hit the PS2.
>>333149Well, hopefully we see more of them in the future. HD sprites and artwork from them coupled with better hardware would be a sight to see.
>>333155Hopefully they can do something about any lagging issues in their future games. Fighting Odette when she's busy summoning more monsters than you can shake a Psypher at puts a serious damper on the game's fast-paced battle system.
>>333155We can only pray.
>>333157That's more an issue of them being a bit too ambitious with the hardware they're working with. People forget the PS2 is very outdated at this point, hence it's surprising what some devs are squeezing out of it.
I thought I'd share with everyone reading this that I'm playing Odin Sphere right now (this thread's got me on an OS kick).Anyone going to Otakon to see Hitoshi Sakimoto (composed the soundtracks for OS and GG)?
GrimGrimoire was great.Also, is there any LilletAdvocat or LilletAmoretta?
